Kayleigh Haywood, from Leicestershire, was found dead in undergrowth near Ibstock in November.
Stephen Beadman, 29, of Ibstock, has admitted raping and murdering Kayleigh but denies false imprisonment.
Luke Harlow, 27, of Ibstock, has admitted two counts of sexual grooming but also denies false imprisonment.
Updates on this story and more from Leicestershire
Neighbours Beadman and Harlow, both of George Avenue, are alleged to have held Kayleigh against her will at Harlow's home between about 21:00 BST on Saturday, November 14 and 03:00 on Sunday, November 15.
Witnesses Samuel Green and Amy Dearden, who live together near Ibstock's Sence Valley Forest Park, told the court they heard a loud scream in the early hours of November 15.
Mr Green said he had gone to bed just before midnight.
"I was lying there. I can't be 100% sure how long I lay there and then all of a sudden I heard a loud scream, someone screaming 'mummy'," Mr Green said.
"It sounded like a female to me, and if I'm honest, whoever it was sounded frightened."
Ms Dearden said the scream of "mummy" sounded so close, she thought someone was in her garden.
"It sounded like a young child. Sam opened the window and shouted but nobody replied," she said.
The court also heard a man with a bloodied face was seen near to where Kayleigh's body was found.
In a police interview played to Nottingham Crown Court, Harlow claimed Kayleigh had drunk a bottle of wine after being dropped off by her dad at Ibstock leisure centre the previous Friday because she was "nervous" about meeting him.
Harlow said Kayleigh had drunk "a considerable amount of vodka" in his flat while he and Beadman had gone to the shops to get more alcohol.
On Sunday morning, Harlow said he woke up feeling "quite groggy" and did not know where Kayleigh was, although her shoes were still in his flat.
He then went to see Beadman.
"He [Beadman] had scratches all over his face which he didn't have on Friday night," Harlow said.
"He said he had got them at work, he is a landscape gardener. I didn't think anything of it at the time.
"I asked Stephen Beadman if he had seen her leave he said no."

Two world title fights feature on the Wales Ice Arena card with the sumptuous main event of Cuban WBA world super-bantamweight champion Rigondeaux box in the UK for the first time as he defends his title against British champion Jamie Dickens.
Rigondeaux is fifth in the legendary Ring Magazine top pound-for-pound list and is seen by many as the most exciting fighter on the planet.
The unbeaten 35-year-old co-headlines a bill featuring WBO world lightweight champion Terry Flanagan's defence against former IBF world champion Mzonke Fana.
A total of six titles will be contested on a 14-fight bill, the first staged in Wales by promoter Frank Warren in eight years with a capacity crowd expected.
There can be little doubt that the main focus on Saturday will be on Rigondeaux, who boxes for the first time in the UK.
Known as El Chacal or The Jackal, Rigondeaux turned professional in 2009 after defecting to America on a smuggling boat.
At the time, Cuban fighters were only permitted by Fidel Castro's reign to fight as amateurs.
Rigondeaux is widely considered to be one of the world's top pound-for-pound boxers and won gold medals at the 2000 and 2004 Olympic Games.
Find out how to get into boxing with our special guide.
The Cuban is undefeated in 16 bouts as a professional and recorded 475 victories in 487 contests as an amateur.
Possessing a relentless style and with hand speed that needs to be seen to be believed, Rigondeaux is often mentioned when the world's best pound-for-pound boxers are discussed.
"If he is not the best in the world, he is the most complete," his trainer Pedro Diaz told BBC Wales Sport.
"For us, he is in a class of his own, he is an extraordinary boxer. He is the only champion to only fight boxers with winning records."
Cardiff is a city with a rich boxing history, with over 10,000 fans packing the now departed American Roller Rink in 1910 to watch Freddie Walsh meet Jim O'Driscoll.
Joe Calzaghe unified to the super middleweight division in front of 50,000 at the Millennium Stadium in 2007, with the most recent world title contest in the city featuring a Welsh fighter remembered less fondly, with the heavy-handed Sergey Kovalev brutally taking Nathan Cleverly's WBO light heavyweight title.
Other notable nights in Cardiff include Frank Bruno's world title clash with Lennox Lewis at Cardiff Arms Park in 1993 - Calzaghe made his debut on the undercard - and Steve Robinson's world title defeat to Prince Naseem Hamed in 1995.
The last non-Welshman to contest a world title fight in Cardiff was Lee Haskins in May.
World renowned boxing promoter Frank Warren has not put on a show in Wales since 2008 when Gavin Rees lost his WBA world light-welterweight title front of a sparse Cardiff International Arena crowd.
Liam Williams defends his British and Commonwealth titles against unbeaten Englishman Gary Corcoran on Saturday as the 24-year-old from the Rhondda Valleys puts his undefeated record on the line.
Blackwood's Craig Evans, Maerdy's Alex Hughes, Jay Harris from Swansea and former British champion Gary Buckland are all on the undercard.
"We haven't built a headline star in Wales for a little while, so the progress of Liam Williams was all the encouragement we needed to return to Wales," Warren said.
"We have enjoyed great nights there in the past and I sincerely hope this is the first of many return visits. The Welsh boxing public know a good fighter when they see one - and they have had more than a few of their own over the years."
And Williams and his opponent are far from friendly.
"I don't like the man at all," Williams said. "Gary thinks a lot of himself and I'm not sure why. He's a confident man but I'm not sure where he gets that confidence from." | Top pound-for-pound star Guillermo Rigondeaux will top an impressive looking bill as big time boxing returns to Cardiff on Saturday. | 36,783,871 | 940 | 34 | false |
Wheeler netted his ninth goal of the season as the Grecians moved up to seventh with victory at Fratton Park.
Portsmouth had the first chance of the game in the sixth minute when Carl Baker's low cross found Conor Chaplin, but his flicked effort went just wide of the post.
Reuben Reid forced Pompey's goalkeeper into action six minutes later after weaving his way into the box and attempting a curling effort, but he was denied by David Forde.
Exeter took the lead in the 57th minute after the ball rebounded off Pompey's Danny Rose before finding Wheeler, who lashed it into the roof of the net.
Gareth Evans almost earned a point for Portsmouth in the 72nd minute but his stinging effort was well matched by Exeter goalkeeper Christy Pym who managed to hold onto the ball.

Barcelona have one game in hand over second-placed Atletico Madrid, who had drawn level on points after beating Eibar 3-1 on Saturday.
This was a far from vintage Barca performance, but they have now won their past 10 league and cup games. They have also equalled the Spanish record of 28 matches unbeaten.
Levante meanwhile are five points from safety.

The army says 15 militants were also killed in the attack, which took place near the town of Bir al-Abd.
Gunmen from the Sinai Province group are reported to be behind the attack.
It is Egypt's most active insurgent group, which pledged allegiance to so-called Islamic State in 2014.
Officials said a gun battle erupted after the militants opened fire on the checkpoint with light arms and heavy machine-guns.
Friday's attack was the latest in what appears to be a surge in the number of operations launched by the militants.
Profile: Sinai Province
However, the army has appeared to have had a degree of success in suppressing the militants recently, and it is some time since the fighters carried out an attack on the scale of this one.
Egypt has battled militants in Sinai for years, but Islamist militancy has risen since the army deposed President Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood in 2013.
In August, the Egyptian military said it had killed the leader of Sinai Province, along with dozens of its fighters.
Minutes from the central bank's October meeting show officials were concerned about stock market fluctuations and weakness abroad.
However, they worried that saying so could send the wrong message.
Overall, officials were confident the US economy was on a strong footing.
That is why they decided to end their stimulus programme - known as quantitative easing (QE) - in which the Fed bought bonds in order to keep long-term interest rates low and thus boost spending.
"In their discussion of the asset purchase programme, members generally agreed???.???.???.???there was sufficient underlying strength in the broader economy to support ongoing progress toward maximum employment," read the minutes, referring to the decision to end QE.
US markets reacted in a muted way to the news, with the Dow Jones briefly rising before falling once more into the red for the day.
However, to reassure markets that the Fed would not deviate from its set course, the central bank decided to keep its "considerable time" language in reference to when the Fed would raise its short term interest rate.
That interest rate - known as the federal funds rate - has been at 0% since late 2008, when the Fed slashed rates in the wake of the financial crisis.
Most observers expect that the bank will begin raising that rate in the middle of 2015, mostly in an effort to keep inflation in check as the US recovery gathers steam.
However, US Fed chair Janet Yellen has sought to reassure market participants that the bank will not act in haste and remains willing to change its timeline should economic conditions deteriorate in the US.
The minutes also show that the Fed is still concerned about possibly lower-than-expected inflation, particularly as oil prices continue to decline and wage growth remains sluggish.
"Many participants observed the Committee should remain attentive to evidence of a possible down shift in longer-term inflation expectations; some of them noted if such an outcome occurred, it would be even more worrisome if growth faltered," they read.
That led some on Wall Street to believe that the central bank might put off a rate raise even further into the future, if the outlook for inflation changes significantly.
Photographs emerged the other day of the legendary Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath posing with dead animals while on a hunting trip to Zimbabwe in 2008.
Chipitani Safaris, a Zimbabwean outfit with offices in Harare, cannot have been fully aware of the storm they were brewing when they posted pictures of the retired cricketer relaxing with gun in hand like a latter day Ernest Hemingway, beside the bodies of an elephant, a Cape buffalo and two hyenas.
It was unfortunate that pictures should emerge during the 2015 Cricket World Cup, when Mr McGrath's punditry is all over the airwaves as befits his status as a cricketing great. But perhaps we all have photographs out there in the great big internet wilderness which could end a career or a prospective marriage.
Judging by the vitriolic response to the photographs on social media, many people were extremely upset. But Mr McGrath is too big a star in his own right to be beheaded by a baying social media mob.
More importantly the nuances of this story are too complicated to be understood by a generation raised on films like the Lion King, and the resultant Walt Disney sentimentality towards Africa's wildlife, and who are all too eager to tweet their disapproval.
The cricketer is a self-confessed outdoors man, who obviously enjoys hunting animals.
But he was sufficiently spooked by the reaction to his "great white hunter" photos to issue a statement in which he spoke of his "regret in hindsight" at participating "in a hunting safari in Zimbabwe that was licensed and legal but highly inappropriate".
Although he did not elaborate on what was inappropriate about it.
The fact that Africa's wildlife is in trouble is not in doubt.
An incomprehensible demand for ivory and rhino horn in China and Asia continues to encourage poaching and the callous killing of whole herds by guns or poison for money.
The demand for hunting big game even gave rise to the questionable practice of breeding lions in captivity - so called "canned lions" - which are released for the sole purpose of meeting a hunter's bullet.
Yet hunting has been part and parcel of the constant battle to preserve and conserve endangered animals.
It is a basic rule of wildlife conservation that wild animals be culled and their numbers controlled, or villages where they roam would soon be overrun by hyenas and buffaloes.
Ageing bull elephants that can no longer feed off the succulent branches of thorn trees often resort to marauding around human settlements, destroying fields of agriculture and killing people.
The age-old balance between man and beasts in these regions has gone through many blueprints, which must constantly be revised for the benefit of villagers and animals alike.
Elephants, though, are problematic.
Their numbers keep falling, and we must ask whether hunting them legally and under licence does not in fact contribute to their inevitable extinction.
China's burgeoning middle class has had a fixation for ivory craft and trinkets, which has raised the street price for ivory from $5 (£3.25) to $2,100 per kg over the last 25 years.
So even if a hunter gets his elephant trophy home, will it perhaps not find its way to an eastern market?
Yet hunting alone brings $616m (£400m) into South Africa's economy every year and hunting safaris in Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe contribute to conservation efforts.
People like Mr McGrath pay a minor fortune to kill the animals they wish to make into trophies.
A cursory glance at animal trophy prices on the internet tells us that a buffalo costs the hunter $8,000, an elephant $22,000 and a hyena $950.
It is reasonable to assume that Mr McGrath spent some of $31,900 on bagging his animals, before he had paid the cost of his travel, accommodation, taxidermy and shipping costs to get his trophies home to Australia. It was money he meant to spend and there was nothing accidental about it.
And where such vast sums of money are concerned, a scramble to own game ranches has exploded in Zimbabwe, with the first lady herself accused of allegedly displacing farm workers to make way for wild animals.
In the US the debate over the merits of legal hunting hit the headlines just the other month when a group called the Dallas Safari Club auctioned off the right to hunt and kill an ageing black rhino in Namibia.
The winning bid was a staggering $350,000 made by a celebrity TV host. In 2012 the former Spanish monarch King Juan Carlos had to be flown out of Botswana when he broke his hip during a hunting trip when he shot an elephant.
Those of us whose souls may lean towards the poetic, and are loathe to see God's creatures suffer, despite Genesis 9:3 telling us "every moving thing that lives shall be food for you", would do well to avert our eyes as the rich have their sport.
And there was another tragedy to Mr McGrath's Zimbabwe hunt in 2008 - his complete silence over that year's murdered, displaced and raped during that country's political violence.
Titina Nzolameso was offered a property in Bletchley, near Milton Keynes, after the government's benefits cap made her Westminster rent unaffordable.
When she refused to leave, Westminster City Council decided its legal duty to her had ended - leaving her homeless.
The Supreme Court on Thursday quashed the authority's decision.
Its ruling means Ms Nzolameso, who argued that moving to Buckinghamshire would deprive her of the network of friends that supported her during ill health, can stay in the capital.
The decision could have knock-on effects for other local authorities in a similar position.
The court's deputy president Lady Hale heard the case with Lord Clarke, Lord Reed, Lord Hughes and Lord Toulson.
She said that out-of-borough placements were not prohibited, but Westminster City Council had not properly explained its decision.
The authority had not provided evidence to show its offer of the property in Bletchley "was sufficient to discharge their legal obligations" under laws around the housing of homeless people, she added.
The project's organisers announced that after "extensive due diligence and deliberation" the city had been chosen over San Francisco.
The museum will cost over $1bn (£0.8bn) and be financed by Lucas himself.
It will exhibit art and memorabilia from the Star Wars franchise and other cinema classics, including The Wizard of Oz and Casablanca.
The museum will be located in Exposition Park, near other attractions including the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, the California African American Museum and the California Science Center.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said his city was "the ideal place for making sure that it touches the widest possible audience".
"We went after it with everything we have," he added.
Originally, Lucas had planned to build the museum in Chicago, but he faced local community opposition and abandoned the proposal last year.
San Francisco had offered a site on Treasure Island, in the middle of San Francisco Bay, but failed to win over the project's organisers.
The new museum will sit near the University of Southern California, where George Lucas studied film in the 1970s.
As well as Star Wars items like Darth Vader's mask, the museum will show artworks chosen from the 40,000 items in Lucas' collection, including works by such artists as Norman Rockwell, Edgar Degas, Winslow Homer and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
Lucas made the first Star Wars film in 1977 and sold the franchise to Walt Disney in 2012 for $4bn.

On Thursday, Jo sadly died after being attacked while out doing her job.

The National Student Survey (NSS) found 84% of the 304,000 final-year students at 530 institutions who took part were content with their degree courses.
The poll is published by the Higher Education Funding Council for England.
But the results follow a similar survey which found levels of satisfaction with "value for money" at university have been falling over the past five years.
The Student Academic Experience Survey, published by the Higher Education Policy Institute and the Higher Education Academy in June, found just 35% of students across the UK thought university was "good" or "very good" value, compared with 53% five years ago.
Students say university 'poor value'
Students promised consumer contracts
Leading universities rated 'bronze'
However, the NSS found student satisfaction with teaching was high, with 85% of UK students agreed that teaching staff were good at explaining things and made their subjects interesting and that they were intellectually stimulated and challenged.
It also found 84% of students agreed that they were provided with learning opportunities such as exploring ideas in depth and applying what they had learnt.
Some 77% agreed that they felt part of a learning community and had the right opportunities to work with other students.
While assessment and feedback were considered to be good by 73% of final-year students.
A boycott of the survey coordinated by the National Union of Students over tuition fees appeared to have some impact on the response rate - 8,000 fewer took part this year than last year.
The NSS survey comes as Universities Minister Jo Johnson has highlighted growing concerns about students not getting value for money.
Mr Johnson has said the newly established Office for Students will see students given formal contracts with universities, so they can challenge them about too few teaching hours or if facilities are inadequate.
Commenting on the NSS, he said: "While overall student satisfaction remains high, we know there is significant variation in teaching quality and outcomes both within and between providers.
"There is more to do to ensure that students and taxpayers investing heavily in our higher education system secure value for money from it."
Prof Madeleine Atkins, chief executive of Hefce, said the survey had been enhanced this year by new questions on student engagement and approaches to teaching and learning.
"The NSS continues to be the largest and most authoritative survey of its kind in the UK," she said.
"The 2017 results show that students provide particularly positive feedback on the quality of teaching and on learning opportunities.
"Institutions will also, however, be considering carefully how they can continue to improve assessment and feedback, and their broader engagement with students."
Nick Hillman, director of Hepi, said the NSS needed to be set alongside other findings from much broader surveys, which show students complaining of declining value for money.
"I am particularly struck by the lower figures in the NSS for assessment and feedback, which continue to be a challenge but are essential to full student engagement.
"Moreover, given the recent problems in the student movement, it is clear that student unions need to improve and do more to articulate the student voice for all students."
Cauley Woodrow rounded the goalkeeper for Fulham's early opener before Farrend Rawson equalised following a goalmouth scramble for Rotherham.
Woodrow converted Ross McCormack's cross just before half-time, before Alex Kacaniklic slotted home right-footed after a cross from Woodrow.
McCormack fired in the fourth as Fulham moved up to 18th in the Championship.
Former Watford boss Jokanovic, who was appointed as head coach of Fulham on Sunday, was present to see his new side seal a much-needed victory.
The hosts took the lead within six minutes as Woodrow picked up the ball and beat the Rotherham back line before easily slotting home.
Rawson levelled with a powerful shot off the crossbar, capitalising on Fulham's failure to clear from inside their own box.
Woodrow netted his second of the game and Fulham continued to pressure Rotherham, who offered little in the second half, as Kacaniklic benefitted from good link-up play between McCormack and Woodrow to make it 3-1.
McCormack wrapped up all three points when he latched onto Dan Burn's header to volley the ball past Lee Camp.
Fulham interim head coach Stuart Gray:
"He (Slavisa Jokanovic) met the players an hour before kick-off and he came and introduced himself and I got two minutes with him and we'll sit down tomorrow and have a chat as well.
"I'm sure with any new manager in the stand, people are always going to say it has an effect. You cannot fault the players' application and commitment they've put in.
"I'm looking forward to working with him and I'll learn off him and hopefully he'll learn off me.
"He got Watford promoted so he knows about the Championship and obviously I'll pass on my knowledge and experience of the Championship as well.
Rotherham manager Neil Redfearn:
"When we got back to 1-1, I thought we were the better side and they looked a bit fragile. They concede a few goals at home and they looked like they were wobbling a bit. But we took our foot off the gas and full credit to them.
"I'm frustrated more than disappointed and if it had finished five each then it would have been about right. But they've got quality players that can hurt you.
"We've got ourselves out of the bottom three and we want to stay out of it and the lads need some help.
"There are players at other Championship clubs that could make us better. We know where we want to strengthen and we've got our targets in place."
Talks aimed at restoring the Stormont executive ended in failure on Monday.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the US urged the DUP and Sinn Féin to form an "effective government" as soon as possible.
It said the US would continue to work with the parties and the British and Irish governments to facilitate the restoration of power sharing.
Northern Ireland has been without a functioning devolved government since January, when the coalition led by the two biggest parties, the DUP and Sinn Féin, collapsed over a green energy scandal.
US State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert said: "The United States regrets that the political parties in Northern Ireland have not yet reached an agreement to establish a power-sharing regional government following elections in March.
"We urge the region's two largest parties, the Democratic Unionist Party and Sinn Féin, to continue their discussions with the aim of forming an effective, responsive, and representative government as soon as possible.
"All of Northern Ireland's political leaders share a collective responsibility to build on the political and economic progress made since the 1998 Good Friday Agreement and to construct a better, shared future for all of Northern Ireland's citizens," she added.
The Motherwell manager urged his players to recover quickly from the set-back, having led for a spell.
Saints counterpart Tommy Wright though was relieved that his side ended a run of seven league games without a win.
"It wasn't a pretty game, but we got the all-important winner late on and that shows the character of the team," Wright told BBC Scotland.
Motherwell were looking to build on the 3-0 win over Dundee United in midweek that moved them from second bottom to eighth in the Premiership.
The league is so tight that a win at McDiarmid Park would have moved them level with St Johnstone, but instead the home side returned to the top six after gathering all three points.
There was little between the teams. The pitch was bobbly, the occasion was nervous and edgy, and the outcome was two sides who worked hard but carried little attacking threat.
Motherwell - who withdrew Scott McDonald from the starting line-up after he felt a tightness in his hamstring - opened the scoring through Louis Moult.
David Wotherspoon equalised before half-time and the two sides effectively cancelled each other out before Saints' Tam Scobbie headed home Simon Lappin's free-kick in the 90th minute.
"I'm really proud of the players," said Wright. "It wasn't a great run that we were on, and to go 1-0 down again, everybody around the ground is edgy, but we did great to get back in it.
"We're disappointed with the goal that we conceded. They did show a lot of character to get back into it and to go in at 1-1 at half-time was a big help to us. At 1-0, with the crowd on their backs a bit, it would be have been easy to fold, but they didn't.
"Sometimes it's percentage football that teams are playing and that means chances are maybe at a premium. We were more positive than we have been in recent weeks in the last third and I'm delighted they kept going.
"I've total belief in the players to finish the season strongly. This time last year we were 11 points off Dundee United in fourth place and we ended up fourth. They're capable of it."
McGhee was frustrated after his side conceded a last-minute goal for a sixth time in recent weeks. He felt his players had performed well enough to earn a point from the game, but stressed that they need to hold their nerve at a crucial time in the season.
"The performance was good on a dreadful pitch to play on," McGhee said. "We played the conditions, it was energetic, everything I hoped for.
"We didn't get a second goal, which was disappointing. Not a lot of end product, of course, but a disastrous outcome. But we regroup and we go again next week.
"People are tired, [St Johnstone] take risks and put everybody in the box, one of them gets their head to it and we end up losing a goal. We didn't deserve to lose and we shouldn't have lost.
"The defeat against Kilmarnock didn't see us capitulate in any way, we went to Dundee United and did well and won the game. Today we should have got something from the game, we didn't. Get over it and go on to the next one."
South Yorkshire Police said the crash happened on the A616 bypass between Wortley and Tankersley at 10:10 GMT on Friday.
The driver of a blue Vauxhall Astra died at the scene. The driver of a Mercedes van was taken to hospital. Officers said his injuries were not thought to be serious.
Police are appealing for witnesses.
The 69-year-old Princeton University professor said he was delighted to have won the prize.
Professor Deaton described himself as "someone who's concerned with the poor of the world and how people behave, and what gives them a good life".
His research focuses on health, wellbeing, and economic development.
Torsten Persson, secretary of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences award committee, said that Professor Deaton's work has had "enormous influence", particularly in India where the government had reshaped its measurement of poverty.
It had also been very influential in the academic community by reshaping various branches of economics, he said.
While Professor Deaton expected extreme poverty to continue decreasing, he did not want to be "blindly optimistic" because "tremendous health problems among adults and children in India" still existed.
Professor Deaton said that half of Indian children were still malnourished: "For many people in the world, things are very bad indeed."
The academy said that individuals' consumption choices must be understood before economic policy aimed at reducing poverty could be formulated.
"More than anyone else, Angus Deaton has enhanced this understanding. By linking detailed individual choices and aggregate outcomes, his research has helped transform the fields of microeconomics, macroeconomics, and development economics."
The work for which Professor Deaton has been honoured revolved around three questions:
"His research has uncovered important pitfalls when comparing the extent of poverty across time and place," the committee said.
The Edinburgh-born academic, who had been in the running for the prize several times in past years, was previously at Cambridge and Bristol universities.
The award includes prize money of 8m Swedish kronor (£637,000, $950,000).
The economics award was not created by Alfred Nobel in 1895, but was added by Sweden's central bank in 1968 as a memorial to the Swedish industrialist.
The Nobel prizes will be given to winners on 10 December at ceremonies in Stockholm and Oslo.
The 26-year-old Belgium international, who joined Spurs from FC Twente in July 2013, damaged ankle ligaments in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Liverpool.
He was taken off after eight minutes following a collision.
Spurs are already without Ryan Mason, who has a knee injury, Nabil Bentaleb, who has an ankle problem, and Son Heung-min, who has an injured foot.
The funding drive for the space exploration, trading and combat game began in 2012 on Kickstarter.
Since then, the game has continued to raise cash from people who have signed up to play and test early versions.
The milestone comes as virtual reality developer Oculus confirms that space-combat game Eve: Valkyrie will be a launch title for its headset.
Since its Kickstarter campaign ended, Star Citizen has continued to raise money through pre-orders and via sales of spaceships that players can fly and fight in the game's virtual universe. In October, it announced that more than one million people had signed up to back and play the game.
This week saw the release of the second test or alpha version of Star Citizen. This starts to tie the separately developed elements of the game into a more coherent whole.
Before now, players have had access to a hangar module where they store their ships and a dog-fighting arena. It will also eventually have a first-person element that lets them take on other players inside ships and space stations. All these elements will exist inside a persistent universe which players can explore and trade in.
Also under development is a single-player mode called Squadron 42 that lets people carry out a mission as a rookie space Navy pilot. Actors including Gary Oldman, Mark Hamill and Gillian Anderson have all signed up to provide voices for the non-player roles featured in this campaign.
Development of the game is being overseen by veteran developer Chris Roberts who was responsible for the Wing Commander series of games.
No firm launch date for Star Citizen has been announced. So far, developer Roberts Space Industries has only said that the game will be launched at some point in 2016.
Star Citizen has competition in the form of two other space flying and fighting games - Elite: Dangerous and Eve: Valkyrie.
Elite: Dangerous also got going by raising cash on Kickstarter and was released in March 2014. A big expansion for the game, called Horizons that lets players land ships on some planets, is due to be released this month.
Eve: Valkyrie is set to be available in early 2016 when the Oculus Rift headset becomes generally available. A copy of the game is being given to anyone that pre-orders the headset.
The U's have recorded consecutive draws in the league after a goalless stalemate against Cambridge on Monday.
Oxford remain second in the table but could be leapfrogged should Plymouth or Accrington win their games in hand.
"We have a target set for us point-wise and we are still on course for that," Sercombe, 25, told BBC Radio Oxford.
"The manager (Michael Appleton) is always on about getting a quick start but the intensity wasn't there [against Cambridge].
"We keep our focus and, once we hit that target, we are confident that will be enough."
Oxford's management staff have established the mystery points target by utilising points tallies from the past 10 seasons.
Appleton's side, who are unbeaten in their last four matches, now turn their focus to Wembley for the Football League Trophy final against Barnsley on Sunday.
"Everybody in that changing room is desperate for promotion and it's a lot bigger than the one day at Wembley," added Sercombe.
"It's going to be special and a good day for family and friends, but promotion is what we are aiming for."
Sources told the AFP news agency that she is the same missionary who was held for more than a week by Islamist gunmen in 2012 when the north had been taken over by groups linked to al-Qaeda.
On that occasion the woman was freed with the help of mediators from neighbouring Burkina Faso.
A French-led operation in 2013 drove Islamist fighters from northern towns.
A 12,000-strong UN peacekeeping force has now been deployed there, but militant groups are still active in the vast desert region.
Souleymane Maiga, a spokesman for the Malian army, told Reuters new agency that the Swiss national was taken from her house in the historic city on Thursday night.
A Timbuktu government official told AFP she was "Beatrice, a Swiss citizen".
Beatrice Stockly was seized by Islamist group Ansar Dine group in 2012.
According to AFP, two foreign hostages seized in 2011 by members of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), a South African and a Swede, are still in captivity.
Militancy in Mali
Chris Rogers and Steve Smith both scored hundreds as the hosts reached 337-1 by the close.

Their partnership of 259 broke an 85-year record for Australia's second-wicket at Lord's, as Rogers made 158 not out for his highest Test score and Smith an unbeaten 129 after David Warner had squandered a promising 38 with a reckless shot.
On a day of few chances - Ian Bell dropped a low Smith edge at second slip - England's bowlers rarely lost their discipline but struggled to pose any consistent threat on a slow pitch offering almost no movement off the surface.
With the tourists now in a position from which to dictate the match, Alastair Cook's men face a major challenge to keep their series lead intact.
An Australia victory would tie the series and put Michael Clarke's side back on track to retain the Ashes.
Australia, who selected Mitchell Marsh and Peter Nevill in place of Shane Watson and Brad Haddin, have not won an Ashes series in England since 2001.
Rogers put aside the frustration of scoring seven consecutive fifties without converting a single one into a hundred by batting the entire day.
After surviving an early scare when he edged James Anderson's third ball past Joe Root in the slips, the left-hander used all the experience gained from four seasons at Lord's with Middlesex to punch, nudge and steer his way to three figures.
Opening his shoulders in the dying stages of the day, he peppered the boundaries at the famous arena to add 77 runs in the session between tea and the close, going past his previous Test best of 119.
Smith justified his status as the world's second-ranked Test batsman with a confident century of his own.
After labouring 111 deliveries for his first half-century, he needed only 50 balls for his second, steaming into the nineties with a straight six off Moeen Ali and bringing up three figures by pulling a tiring Anderson dismissively through mid-wicket for four.
His only false stroke, an edge off Stokes, flew low to Bell at slip. It was a difficult chance, but one which England desperately needed to be taken.
England's bowlers were always likely to struggle to match the near-flawless display they produced in Cardiff.
But they managed to avoid falling into the trap that caught Australia out in the first Test and remained disciplined throughout the majority of an increasingly frustrating day.
Stuart Broad picked up where he left off in south Wales as he probed on a full length and regularly beat the bat without reward.
Mark Wood took some time to adapt to the Lord's slope but also produced some unplayable deliveries.
James Anderson and Ben Stokes were slightly less consistent and were invariably punished on the occasions they dropped short.
At Cardiff, the slowness of the pitch played into England's hands at it nullified Australia's fast bowlers, and provided uneven bounce and movement for the home seamers later in the game.
If, as some suspected, England requested a similar surface at Lord's, the tactic backfired the moment Australia won the toss.
The pitch was equally slow but far truer than the one in Cardiff, allowing the ball to sit up and seemingly beg to be thrashed across the lightning-fast outfield.
"I'm not sure what England can do. They don't have a great spin bowler or a genuine quick bowler, although I'm not sure what impact that would have here," said Geoffrey Boycott on Test Match Special.
"They have got what they wanted, a flat pitch to negate Australia's quicks. They have probably done that but it's not easy to bowl out decent batsmen. That's the other side of the coin."
Warner's innings featured a sudden acceleration from first gear to fifth and a humiliating crash landing.
Having taken 25 balls to reach the boundary, he then struck six more fours in his next 16 deliveries, including two off the first two balls of Moeen's opening spell.
Four balls later, the assault continued as Warner aimed another heave into the covers where a grateful Anderson took the catch.
Off trudged Warner, cursing himself, while Boycott quipped that pork pies had more brains than the Australia opener. Sadly for England, Australia's generosity ended there.
Australia's Chris Rogers on Sky Sports: "It's one of the proudest moments of my career. To get a hundred here is so special. I have a lot of support here, lots of friends."
Team-mate Steve Smith: "That was very important after Cardiff. The pitch was a little bit slow and if you got in you needed to go big.
"I wanted to make it count today and get up on that board. It was about keeping England out there for as long as possible."
England bowler James Anderson: "Hats off to the two guys who made hundreds - they played brilliantly throughout the day.
"They stayed patient, they attacked us when they could and made it really difficult for us to bowl at them for long periods of time and create that pressure."
Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott: "I haven't seen anything yet that tells me this won't be good for batting when it's England's turn.
"But there's scoreboard pressure and we don't know if the ball will keep low and turn appreciably as it goes on."
As ever, the first hour on Friday will be crucial. England have a relatively new ball to use and must make early inroads into the Australian batting line-up.
If they don't, it could be another long day in the field with no respite from the weather, which looks set fair.
If Rogers and Smith get set again, the tourists will be eyeing 600 and putting real pressure on England's batting.
Quick wickets could at least keep England in the game with two debutants to follow Australian captain Michael Clarke and Adam Voges.
Details of the 63-year-old's agreement with Nafissatou Diallo will remain confidential, the judge added.
Mr Strauss-Kahn was held in New York in May 2011 after Ms Diallo, 33, said he assaulted her in his hotel suite.
Prosecutors later dropped charges amid concerns about her credibility.
The incident was widely seen as having ruined Mr Strauss-Kahn's chance of becoming the Socialist presidential candidate in his native France.
New York State Supreme Court Justice Douglas McKeon announced on Monday that after lengthy negotiations, the parties "came together and put terms of a settlement on the record".
By Laura TrevelyanBBC News, New York
Now that there has been a settlement, we will probably never know exactly what transpired between the head of the IMF and the immigrant hotel maid from Guinea at the hotel Sofitel in Manhattan. There was forensic evidence of a sexual encounter of some kind. Mr Strauss-Kahn insisted it was consensual, Ms Diallo said he attempted to rape her.
The criminal case collapsed after the prosecution said Ms Diallo had credibility issues. Now her attempt to bring a civil case has been settled for an undisclosed amount. Two very different lives have been turned upside down by the encounter, and Mr Strauss-Kahn's ambitions to be president of France lie in ruins.
The amount of the settlement was kept confidential.
Mr Strauss-Khan did not attend the hearing, but Ms Diallo was in court.
After the settlement, the judge thanked all parties and said it was a "privilege to work with all of you".
Outside the courtroom, Ms Diallo made a short statement: "I thank everybody all over the world and everybody at the court, and God bless you all."
Her lawyer, Kenneth Thompson, said afterwards that she was "ready to move on".
In May 2011, Ms Diallo, a Guinean immigrant with a teenage daughter, said Mr Strauss-Kahn had forced her to perform oral sex when she went to clean his hotel room.
He was arrested, charged with attempted rape and forced to resign from his post at the International Monetary Fund.
Mr Strauss-Kahn had previously admitted to a "moral failing", but insisted their sexual encounter was consensual.
In the wake of Ms Diallo's accusations, other women came forward with sexual assault allegations against him.
Tarik Hassane, 22, of west London, will serve a minimum of 21 years after admitting conspiracy to murder and preparation of acts of terrorism.
Suhaib Majeed, 22, of west London, was convicted of the same charges and will serve a minimum of 20 years.
Two other men who provided a gun were also imprisoned for firearms offences.
Nyall Hamlett, 25, and Nathan Cuffy, 26, had admitted their role in handing over a gun to Majeed and Hassane, but denied knowing what it was going to be used for.
Hamlett was today jailed for six-and-a-half years and Cuffy for 11 years. They were cleared of conspiracy to murder and preparing terrorist acts.
During the sentencing at the Old Bailey, Mr Justice Wilkie said it was "shocking, tragic and deplorable" that Hassane and Majeed, "educated through the UK school system, undertaking university courses, should be so influenced by the bloodthirsty version of Islam presented by IS".
"You decided to take up arms against your fellow British citizens and those charged with protecting them, in the streets of your own city," he said.
The trial heard that Hassane, a medical student who split his time between London and university in Sudan, was immersed in extremist ideology and aspired to kill in London months before the IS group urged supporters in the West to carry out such attacks.
He turned to his childhood friend, Majeed - a physics undergraduate - to help him put the plan into action, with the pair communicating secretly through social media apps.
Majeed agreed to get a gun and moped for what would be a drive-by attack, the court heard.
Hamlett, a known criminal, supplied the weapon to Majeed after first acquiring it from Cuffy.
Soon afterwards the men were arrested. They had been under surveillance by the police and MI5.
Gestede looped the ball over goalkeeper Jamal Blackman after the Blades had failed to clear Patrick Bamford's lofted pass into the penalty area.
The former Aston Villa man hit the post with another header before half-time.
Sheffield United, who won their opening match against Brentford, had a goal disallowed in stoppage time.
Jack O'Connell was adjudged to be offside when Dael Fry nodded a free-kick into his own net and, with that, the League One champions suffered their first defeat since 24 January.
Before the dramatic ending, the Blades' best attempt at goal was Paul Coutts' side-footed effort from 20 yards, which Darren Randolph palmed wide for a corner.
Gestede and Bamford were two of four additions to the Middlesbrough side beaten at Wolves seven days earlier, replacing summer signings Martin Braithwaite and Ashley Fletcher, and the pair repaid their manager's faith by combining for Boro's first league goal of the campaign.
The hosts also gave a debut to midfielder Lewis Baker, who played the final 23 minutes as a substitute after joining the club on loan from Chelsea on Friday.

Police say they are still investigating the motive for Sunday morning's killing. Two men arrived by motorcycle at the scholar's home in Dharwad in Karnataka state. One knocked on his door, entered the house claiming to be Dr Kalburgi's student, had a brief conversation with the teacher - then shot him dead and escaped on the waiting bike.
The death of a "straight-talking, rationalist researcher of ancient Kannada literature", as a newspaper described him, has shocked the nation. Police are exploring whether the killing is linked to last year's remarks by Dr Kalburgi against idol worship, which had angered right-wing Hindu groups.
The former university vice-chancellor had been given police protection after Hindu hardliners protested against his comments. Some of these groups actually celebrated the professor's killing on social media yesterday.
Many believe Dr Kalburgi made many enemies within his own Lingayat community - an influential Hindu sect that dominates life and politics in Karnataka - with his outspoken remarks about its traditional beliefs and practices.
Lingayatas, a middle caste, comprise 12-14% of Karnataka's population, and dominate politics in the state - most of the state's chief ministers have belonged to the community, which are now also the Hindu nationalist BJP's main support base. There are some 2,000 powerful Lingayat community mutts, or monastic establishments, which also run professional colleges.
As Raghu Karnad writes perceptively in The Wire website, Dr Kalburgi's murder may have more to do with the "fine rivalries and high political stakes within Lingayat caste politics".
Dr Kalburgi was a scholar of the vachana verses, the founding literature of the Lingayats. Vachanas are like daily rituals, helping people to lead their daily lives.
He had "frequently riled the Lingayat orthodoxy" with his interpretation of the verses and had received death threats from conservative members of his community.
"What Dr Kalburgi was giving was a liberal interpretation of the verses, which was more cosmopolitan and modern in its approach", says an expert. This, writes Karnad, had "implications not only for the theology of the Lingayat establishment, but for its enormous political and financial power".
In 1989, community hardliners had threatened to kill him for writing a "Kannada-language book they claim blasphemes a 12th century saint", according to a civil rights group report.
Dr Kalburgi was given protection by police and a group of 43 local writers and academics had formed a committee in support of the book. Recently, he had irked the hardliners again by saying that Lingayats could not be called Hindus.
At a meeting to mark his death yesterday, there was an overarching concern, writes Karnad, that a "culture of lethal violence might overwhelm the hallowed culture of discussion and questioning in Lingayat society".
Dr Kalburgi's killing comes two years after the murder of another prominent rationalist-thinker, Dr Narendra Dabholkar, in the western city of Pune. His killers have still not been caught.
But Sunday's killing reminds me of the fate of Perumal Murugan, the well-known writer in the Tamil language who earlier this year announced his decision to give up writing forever after wrathful protests against his novel Madhorubhagan by local Hindu and caste-based groups. "Author Perumal Murugan has died," the Tamil writer and professor posted on Facebook then.
This time a thinker actually has been killed.
The research looked at genetic editing techniques - which in theory can be used to snip out faulty bits of genetic material that would otherwise lead to serious inherited diseases.
This is the first time it is known to have been attempted on early human embryos. But the results suggest it can cause new, unintended genetic errors.
Experts are questioning whether the procedure - which, if taken further, could lead to genetic changes being passed on to future generations - has crossed ethical, moral and legal lines.
The study was published in the less well-known journal Protein and Cell, by a team of scientists from the Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou.
There are claims that more established journals such as Nature and Science rejected it on ethical grounds.
Researchers say they collected faulty human embryos incapable of leading to live births, from discarded stores at fertility clinics.
Using gene editing complexes they then tried to cut out and replace a gene responsible for a serious blood disorder.
But in many cases the procedure failed. And in some embryos, new genetic mutations, so-called off-target effects, arose in unexpected places.
Scientists suspect this was down to the gene editing technology working in places it was not intended to.
Researchers concluded these off-target effects "need to be investigated thoroughly" before any attempts to take the procedure to the clinic.
There have been strong reactions to this paper on several grounds.
Many focus on what would happen if embryos modified in this way were implanted in wombs and allowed to develop into live births.
This could mean dangerous, newly created genetic changes are passed on from one generation to the next.
And others argue the technology could be exploited to alter genes for cosmetic reasons.
Dr Yalda Jamshidi, at St George's University Hospital, said: "In theory, replacing the defective gene with a healthy one would be the ideal solution.
"Researchers have been working on developing techniques to accomplish this for many years.
"However, altering genes in human embryos can have unpredictable effects on future generations."
Others have questioned whether these techniques are even legal under current laws.
Prof Robin Lovell Badge, at the Crick Institute, says such procedures could be legal in the UK if granted a licence after careful consideration by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority.
But it would be illegal to then implant the embryos into a woman for further development.
Meanwhile in the US, it would not be possible to do this with federal funding. But finances from private companies and charities could be used in states that do not ban the procedure, he says.
As gene editing methods become simpler and more widely available, some scientists argue firm global governance is needed.
And they say regulations must make clear the difference between gene editing used in reproductive cells rather than cells that are not passed on.
Several trials are underway attempting to modify non-reproductive cells as an approach to treat cancer, for example.
But how international regulations would be enforced on technology that is easily accessible and developing at a fast pace, is unclear.
Some experts have gone even further, calling for a moratorium on further studies while science and society decide how far the technology should be allowed to go.
But despite the uproar, not everyone is against the research.
They argue that studies which bring us incrementally closer to eliminating life-limiting genetic diseases must be allowed to continue.
Prof Lovell Badge says he is fully supportive of research being carried out on early human embryos in laboratory settings - especially on embryos that are not required for reproduction and would otherwise be discarded.
If the techniques work, he says, there are many questions that could be asked about the role of specific genes in early human development.
And should the technology be proven safe and effective with further trials, the nature of the argument could change.
Prof Darren Griffin, at the University of Kent, argues if these obstacles are overcome, the next consideration is whether it crosses a moral boundary to apply it to patients.
"Equally, some will ask if the procedure is safe, do we have a moral imperative to make sure that we do it?"

Darren Sykes, 44, and his son Paul, nine, died following the fire at a house on Tennyson Close in Penistone, in Barnsley on Wednesday evening.
His older son Jack, 12, remains in a critical condition in hospital.
Police said a post-mortem revealed the cause of Mr Sykes' death was "compatible with the effects of fire".
Further tests are to be carried out to establish the cause of his son's death, South Yorkshire Police said.
Emergency services were called to the house at about 18:30 BST on Thursday.
Investigators said the fire had been started deliberately and that an accelerant was used to start several seats of fire inside the property.
Police have said they are not looking for anyone else over the incident.
Newport had been confident the match would go ahead but referee Charles Breakspear called it off after heavy rain on Saturday.
League Two side County and Newport RFC had games postponed last weekend due to a waterlogged pitch at the same ground.
The fixture could be rearranged for the week starting Monday, 18 January.
The parties announced the decision at a meeting of the new council on Wednesday evening.
Christine Simpson (Labour) was named as the new provost, and Graham Houston (SNP) as depute convener.
At the start of the meeting, a minute's silence was held to remember the victims of the Manchester terror attack.
The previous administration in Stirling was a Labour-Conservative coalition.
Most of Scotland's 32 local authorities have now formed administrations, but a few are still to reach decisions.

West Lothian and Edinburgh councils are due to hold meetings on Thursday, after both adjourned meetings last week.
She was speaking during a visit to the site of the multi-million pound project which is due to be completed this year.
The scheme has resulted in 215 new jobs in Dumfries and Galloway - 55 more than originally planned.
Ms Sturgeon said the project was "delivering a meaningful community benefit" and aiding the economy.
"With a full year's work ahead of us until the hospital is complete, we fully intend to make the most of the opportunities this presents to the community, as well as to individuals seeking training or work opportunities," she said.
"This new facility will deliver high-quality health services to patients from the Dumfries and Galloway region, and we are investing in the latest technologies to ensure efficient and effective diagnostics and treatment for every patient."
NHS Dumfries and Galloway chief executive Jeff Ace said the health board was delighted that High Wood Health and construction partner Laing O'Rourke remained on schedule with the works.
"This is a very exciting time for all involved in the new hospital project as we move closer to seeing our vision for a fantastic new facility for our patients and staff become a reality," he said.
"The new hospital project has delivered all anticipated community benefits in terms of new jobs, apprenticeships and training opportunities and we will continue to maximise these gains over the coming year.
"By the time the new hospital is handed over in September 2017 many local people will have made a significant contribution to the construction programme remaining on schedule, and will have gained valuable experience working on an exciting new build project."
South of Scotland Labour MSP Colin Smyth said no amount of "hurriedly arranged photocalls" would cover up the fact that the NHS was "facing crisis".
"NHS Dumfries and Galloway recently confirmed that they need to make £20m of cuts alone next year, because government funding is not keeping up with demand," he said.
"We have a GP crisis in the region, with GP practices closing and merging because doctors posts can't be filled and last year 300 operations were cancelled in the region alone because we don't have enough capacity due to the shortage of consultants.
"A new building, welcome as that is, won't change the fact that it is nurses, doctors, consultants and auxiliary staff that carry out the care and the first minister needs to start listening to NHS staff who are telling the government there aren't enough of them to do their job."
The new hospital received £200m from the Scottish government's non-profit distributing (NPD) programme.
It is expected to open in December this year.
Groove CairnGorm, which made its debut in 2016, has been set up along the lines of continental snowsports music festivals Snowbombing and Snowboxx.
It is held in partnership with CairnGorm Mountain ski centre and Badaguish Outdoor Centre.
However, mild and windy weather has delayed the start of Scotland's latest snowsports season.
The festival is to take place on 24 and 25 February.
The organisers of Groove CairnGorm said that while snow was not essential for the event, it would be a bonus.
Skiers, snowboarders, hillwalkers and climbers are among those who attended last year's inaugural event, which featured performances by DJ Grandmaster Flash, Niteworks and Spring Break.
This year's acts include Basement Jaxx, Blonde, Craig Charles' Funk and Soul Club and The Lafontaines.
A spokesman for the event said: "Although even in the worst case scenario and the weather doesn't improve we are very fortunate that the Cairngorms have a wealth of other outdoor activities to keep people entertained throughout the day."
He added: "The whole team are taking part in morning and evening snow dances to encourage the white stuff, so fingers crossed."
The £5.6m improvement of the A64 Brambling Fields Junction will allow vehicles to bypass Malton and Norton.
A lane of the A64 will be closed on either side of the trunk road in the Brambling Fields area for 24 weeks.
Access to homes and businesses will be maintained but diversions will be put in place.
Ryedale District Council said the work would reduce traffic passing through the Butcher Corner junction in Malton town centre by up to 30%.
Councillor Keith Knaggs, leader of Ryedale District Council, said: "For a short periods of limited pain the community will achieve a very significant long-term gain."
He added: "This new slip road will mean that we can improve the air quality in Malton town centre, make it a better and safer place for business and shopping and bring forward new jobs and new homes for Ryedale people."
Striker Maxwel Cornet, 20, who plays in France for Lyon and midfielder Seko Fofana, 21, from Italian club Udinese, have committed to playing for the Elephants.
Cornet is Ivorian born while Fofana, who had a loan spell at Fulham, was born in Paris but his parents hail from the Ivory Coast.
Both played for France up to under-19 but under Fifa regulations can change their allegiance as they are dual nationals and have not played a senior competitive international for the team.
The duo join former England international Wilfried Zaha as players who have been recruited by the Ivorian federation in recent months.
The new players strengthen their squad for the resumption of World Cup qualifiers later in the year, the country's football federation has said.
New Ivory Coast coach Marc Wilmots met with both Cornet and Fofana this week.
They are likely to feature in his first squad in June when the team play the Netherlands in a friendly and then open their qualifying campaign for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations with a home match against Guinea.
In August, they resume their World Cup qualifying campaign away in Gabon. The Ivory Coast head Group C with four points from their first two matches. | Barcelona celebrated boss Luis Enrique's 100th match in charge with a laboured win over Levante to go three points clear at the top of La Liga.

John Fahy, 25, of Groagagh, Grange in County Sligo, was acquitted of two charges of causing death and grievous bodily injury by careless driving.
Nineteen-month-old Ryan Cox died in the crash on Boa Island Road near Belleek in January 2013.
The jury reached a unanimous verdict at Dungannon Crown Court in acquitting the architecture student of the charges.
Ryan's parents cried as the verdict was delivered on Wednesday.
Mr Fahy had been in his final year at Ulster University at the time of the crash, and he now hopes to return to complete his studies.
Both Mr Fahy and Ryan's mother, Katriona Cox, were also badly injured in the crash.
During the trial, prosecutors argued that "either through inexperience or over steering", Mr Fahy had lost control of his car.
Mr Fahy told the court he remembered as he drove around the bend before the crash, he noticed a car "apparently in my lane and I remember flashing my lights".
After Wednesday's verdict, neither Ryan's parents nor Mr Fahy wanted to comment on the case. | A man has been found not guilty of causing the death of a toddler in a car crash in County Fermanagh. | 35,055,167 | 264 | 28 | false |
Didsbury Mosque was identified as one of the mosques attended by bomber Salman Abedi and his family.
Fawzi Haffar, a trustee of the mosque, told BBC Panorama: "I have to be truthful. We have a lot to learn, [we] have to be more conscious".
He said the mosque needed "proper policies" in place to deter extremism.
Abedi blew himself up, killing 22 people as they were leaving a concert at Manchester Arena last week.
Mr Haffar told BBC Panorama: "When we did find out that he attended this mosque we had to really ask some of our employees whether they remembered him. And some of them say they did."
Several sources told Panorama that Didsbury Mosque in south Manchester was his regular place of worship. His elder brother Ismail taught at the mosque, and before he left for Libya in 2011, his father would offer the call to prayer, or adhan.
Bomber Salman Abedi was remembered by some as a loner who would sometimes read books in the corner.
Despite wide reports that Abedi was reported by Didsbury Mosque, the mosque confirmed to Panorama that he was not.
But Mr Haffar said that one of the mosque's imams did report three other suspected extremists two years ago.
"The mosque is open to everybody, and we have hundreds of attendees every day. We are inundated with youth who come to the mosque."
But he admitted the mosque had to work much harder to recognise signs of extremism.
"I think we have to ask our imams to be more proactive to encourage the youth to move away from such evil stories, evil people."
Others in the community did report Abedi. A local youth worker told Panorama that while Abedi was at college in his teens, teachers and pupils were so worried they called an anti-terror hotline a number of times.
According to the source, Abedi had been saying it was worth dying for a cause and suicide bombing was OK.
Mr Haffar said that the mosque encourages people to leave their politics outside.
He said: "It is our duty to report people who we think are going to be a menace - who will do perhaps terrorist acts - whatever creed, whatever colour, whatever religion they are.
"Whether it's my son, whether it's my daughter it is my responsibility to do that and we have to accept that".
But last week, a BBC Question Time audience member claimed that he was handed an anti-Western leaflet at Didsbury Mosque.
The mosque said it had not printed the leaflet, but admitted that unauthorised leaflets were sometimes left by people who are not affiliated with them.
Mr Haffar told Panorama the mosque needed to assess its practices.
"We have to have proper policies. We have to avoid mistakes."

"She was on her way to a local tavern when she was allegedly attacked by the deceased and fought back," police said.
The young woman stabbed the 21-year-old man, after overpowering him during a struggle, police say.
South Africa has one of the highest incidences of rape in the world.
There has been a recent spate of killings of women in the country, which has sparked national outrage.
The girl was not asked to plead when she appeared in the Lenyenye magistrates court in the northern Limpopo province.
The suspect, who is a minor under South African law and cannot be named, would be assigned a social worker and possibly a trauma counsellor to assist with the case, according to the police.
"She was visibly distraught when she arrived at the police station and will receive the necessary care given in such cases," police colonel Moatshe Ngoepe told the BBC.
She is expected to tell the court that she acted in self-defence, when the case resumes on 14 June.
Pleas of self-defence must pass a high legal threshold to be accepted by South African courts.
The defendant must prove that there were extenuating circumstances involved and that killing was the only option available at the time.
The country's laws on self-defence have faced criticism in the past, with some legal analysts saying the law should offer more support to those forced to fight off attacks in a society with a high crime rate.
But some legal scholars have argued it is precisely because of this high crime rate that people should not be able to kill others with impunity and self-defence pleas should face high hurdles.
Legal expert Mannie Wits says that when looking at a self-defence plea, the court broadly uses the test of "what the reasonable man or woman would do in a similar situation".
But he points out that in the South African context, this is becoming increasingly problematic as levels of violence have increased.
"The test of what a reasonable man in the UK would do in a similar situation to a man is South Africa is not the same. South Africans are living under fear, they overreact. This is not a normal society," he says.
In a statement on Tuesday, Laois man O'Reilly said he unintentionally took a supplement that may have contained a banned substance.
O'Reilly, 23, has opted not to contest the initial suspension imposed on him.
"Michael has now left the Olympic Village," said an Irish Athletic Boxing Association statement.
"He will have no further involvement in the Rio Olympic Games. The Olympic Council of Ireland will be making arrangements for him to return to Ireland as soon as possible."
The IABA statement criticised last year's European Games gold medallist for taking a supplement without consulting its medical staff.
"Educating athletes of the risks proposed by supplements is provided to all our boxers as part of the high performance programme.
"The IABA is fully committed to the Irish anti-doping rules. Michael's adverse test result initiated a process as set out in those rules.
"This process remains underway and until it is completed we are not in a position to comment further."
In his statement handed to Irish broadcaster RTE, O'Reilly said that he was given the unnamed supplement "by someone unrelated to his team or association".
The middleweight was tested before travelling to Brazil and said he disclosed at the time that he had taken the substance.
The statement also said O'Reilly apologised to his fellow boxers, team-mates, the Irish Athletic Boxing Association, Sport Ireland, the Olympic Council of Ireland and "all those who have supported" him.
O'Reilly doping violation leaves him facing a ban of up to four years while a suspension would see him losing his annual state grant which currently is just over £34,000.

The company said there were indications that the discovery, in a subsea prospect named Bagpuss, was "heavy oil".
Heavy oil is more viscous than other oil, and more difficult to extract from rock.
The well has been plugged and abandoned while further analysis is carried out.
Premier Oil's director of exploration and North Sea, Robin Allan, said: "The Bagpuss well has proven a significant volume of oil in place.
"We will now work with our partners to carry out a full analysis of the hydrocarbons and reservoir encountered to ascertain whether commerciality can be established."
The find comes a month after oil firm EnQuest reported a new discovery in the Central North Sea.
The company announced the "encouraging" find after completing drilling at an Eagle exploration well in the Greater Kittiwake Area (GKA).
The collision involving a Midland Metro tram happened at the station in Bilston Road in Ettingshall, Wolverhampton, at about 16:00 BST on Sunday.
The car driver, a man in his 60s, was taken to hospital as a precaution.
Midland Metro said: "The incident happened at the Priestfield tram stop car park. Emergency services were called and the full service was later resumed at around 17:30 BST."
British Transport Police said it was treating the collision as an accident and no arrests had been made.
The car was shunted about 10ft (3m) down the track in the crash.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: "On arrival, crews found a car that had suffered significant damage to the passenger side having been shunted down the tracks."
He said the driver of the car suffered chest pain from his seatbelt and was taken to New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton.
Northampton Saint North will be 23 years and 138 days when he runs out at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
He has scored 22 tries and played three Lions Tests, but Gatland wants more from his giant wing.
"I think he's got the ability to be a lot better than he is," he said.
"He's had 50 caps which is fantastic but I think there's still a lot of improvement.
"And probably in the last 12 months he hasn't played as well as we would have liked, he's aware of that and we've been working hard on his game."
North will be playing for the first time in five months following an enforced lay-off to recover from concussion.
He scored a hat-trick of tries on his last appearance for Wales against Italy in the 2015 Six Nations, and scored two for the British and Irish Lions during the 2013 Test series against Australia.
However, Gatland believes North's recent international form has not been up to the standards he believes the player is capable of because of a tendency to become peripheral to the action.
"Players of that ability need to get their hands on the ball," he added.
"He probably went through a couple of campaigns where his touches weren't enough, and he made some defensive errors so it was pleasing to see some of that confidence has come back into his game [against Italy]."
However, Gatland, who first capped North as an 18-year-old against South Africa in 2010, said North's achievements were "fantastic".
"What he has achieved in the game at such a young age is exceptional," he said.
"I remember seeing him as an 18-year-old playing for the Scarlets and saying 'look we have to cap him as soon as possible because there's a freakish talent there'.
"I don't think we've seen the full extent of the potential he still has to be and a player and we still haven't ruled in the future that he couldn't be an outstanding centre as well."

The service, operated by Loganair, has been going since 1967 and is now viewed as an essential part of daily life.
One leg is the 1.7 mile jump between Westray and Papa Westray - the shortest scheduled flight in the world. It should take two minutes, but can be done in 47 seconds if the wind helps.
Mobile banker Anne Rendall was the one millionth passenger.
The Royal Bank of Scotland employee has completed more than 10,000 trips on the service.
Other stops include Eday, Stronsay, Sanday, North Ronaldsay and Kirkwall.
Jonathan Hinkles, Loganair's managing director, said: "The route is a jewel in our network and known across the world.
"It's an essential lifeline service for the people of Orkney, connecting the individual islands via a convenient air link.
"It's used by teachers, doctors, policemen and school pupils, helping them to go about their daily routines with ease and simplicity."
The ministry of information and broadcasting said NDTV Hindi revealed "strategically-sensitive details" while covering the attack on the Pathankot air force base in January.
NDTV denied the accusation, saying its coverage was "particularly balanced".
Seven Indian soldiers and six militants were killed in the attack.
India accused Pakistan-based group Jaish-e-Mohammad of carrying out the assault.
The ministry said the channel would be taken off air on 9 November for 24 hours for revealing information on ammunition and the locations of military planes.
This is believed to be the first order against an Indian broadcaster over its coverage of terrorist attacks.
NDTV said it was looking at "all possible options" in response to the "extraordinary order". The channel has also received support from the Editors Guild of India, an organisation of top editors which condemned the "unprecedented decision".
The group demanded the order be rescinded
The news is also trending on Twitter under the #NDTVBanned hashtag. Some users have criticised the government for banning the channel.
But others supported the government's ban.
The prisoners broke out of the jail in Nuevo Laredo late on Thursday or early on Friday morning.
Security guards are being questioned on suspicion of helping the inmates flee, and prison director has gone missing.
Mexico's prison system is struggling to cope with an influx of violent offenders arrested in the government's campaign against drugs cartels.
Nuevo Laredo in Tamaulipas state lies just across the border from Laredo, Texas.
Tamaulipas security chief Antonio Garza said the break-out - one of the largest in the country's history - went unnoticed until guards carried out a routine head count.
Officials believe the inmates had escaped through one of the prison's back gates, with the connivance of one or more security guards.
Mr Garza said all the guards were being considered suspects in helping the prisoners to flee, and the prison director had been "listed as missing".
Security forces in the area have launched a massive search, while troops and federal police have been deployed to guard the prison.
It usually holds about 1,000 inmates, many of them convicted of federal crimes such as drugs and kidnapping.
This is the second mass prison break in northern Mexico in recent months.
In September, 85 prisoners escaped from a jail in the nearby border city of Reynosa, also in Tamaulipas.
The northern border region is the scene of rising lawlessness as the cartels fight the security forces and battle each other for control of smuggling routes into the US.
The drug cartels' capacity for violence and ability to pay huge bribes gives them considerable power to subvert the prison system and get their people out.
In July, Mexican prosecutors accused guards at a prison in Durango state of allowing inmates to leave the jail to carry out contract killings for the cartels, and of lending them weapons and vehicles.
The summit, to be held in the capital, Nairobi, from 24-26 July, could provide "a target for terrorists", the US State Department said in a statement.
In 2013, at least 67 people died in an attack by al-Shabab militants on the Westgate shop centre in Nairobi.
The Somali-based Islamist militant group says it is at war with Kenya.
Their deadliest assault to date happened at a university in the north-easter Kenyan town of Garissa in April, when four gunmen killed 148 people.

Why is al-Shabab targeting Kenya?
The US State Department has urged its citizens to "maintain a high level of security awareness" as part of the new travel warning, which expires on 30 July.
Last month, the UK lifted its warning against travelling to part of Kenya's coast, including Mombasa.
Mr Obama's visit to Kenya will be his first to his father's homeland as US leader.
Al-Shabab has carried out numerous attacks in Kenya near the long porous border with Somalia.
The al-Qaeda-linked group wants Kenya to withdraw troops sent to Somalia in 2011 to help the weak UN-backed Somali government to fight the militants.

Naomi Eisenstadt told the BBC's Sunday Politics Scotland programme there should be more "targeting" of public money towards those who need it most.
A independent report by Ms Eisenstadt, published earlier this week, urged the Scottish government to end the council tax freeze in 2017/2018.
Ministers said they were committed to their universal benefits policies.
Universal benefits include things like free prescriptions, free school meals and tuition fees.
Speaking on the BBC Scotland programme, Oxford University research fellow Ms Eisenstadt, said: "All universal benefits help everyone, not just the poorest.
"The difficulty is that there is a balance between the bureaucracy in administering means tested benefits, and sometimes the stigma associated, against how do you spend your money most effectively.
"I think we have gone too far in Scotland on the universal side and not far enough on the targeting.
"I think on the targeting we need to make the culture of public services more respectful and therefore avoid stigma that way."
Ms Eisenstadt, who was appointed by Ms Sturgeon in 2015 to provide advice on poverty and inequality, said she thought it was "wrong" that she got the winter fuel subsidy and that "in times of austerity" some pensioners had "benefited enormously".
The Smith Commission has recommended control over the winter fuel payment, which currently rests with Westminster, is transferred to the Holyrood.
The poverty advisor also reiterated her view that the council tax freeze "does not help poor people".
She said: "It does help better off people because housing hasn't been revalued for the last 25 years, so people living in the most expensive properties, where they have gone up in value, their taxes haven't changed."
"The reason it's a disadvantage to poor people is that local authorities need the funding to fund services that mainly help the poorest people.
"I think that local authorities need more discretion over their spend and the way they get that discretion is by deciding for themselves what to charge for property tax."
Speaking at the launch of Ms Eisenstadt's report on Wednesday, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon welcomed her findings and said the government would "look at what we're doing well, and where we can improve".
Responding to the advisor's latest comments, a Scottish government spokeswoman said: "We remain committed to our universal benefits policies such as free school meals, prescriptions and tuition fees to tackle inequalities.
"We welcome Naomi Eisenstadt's report and we will respond formally to it before the end of March, setting out how we intend to take forward its recommendations."
Ryan Morse, from Brynithel, died on 8 December 2012, of Addison's disease.
Dr Lindsey Thomas, 42, of Tredegar, Blaenau Gwent, and Dr Joanne Rudling, 46, of Pontprennau, Cardiff, deny the charges.
Cardiff Crown Court heard Ryan's mother made several appointments at Abernant Surgery in Abertillery, but they failed to diagnose his condition.
Prosecutor John Price QC said: "The cause of his death was what is called an Addison's disease crisis.
"Addison's disease is a rare but treatable disease. There are 10 to 15 cases for every 100,000 people."
The jury heard Ryan's mother became concerned with her son's health during the summer holidays of 2012 when he complained of a bad head, sore throat and aching legs.
She was concerned his skin was "yellowing" and feared he may have glandular fever.
The court heard his discolouration had become so obvious his friends had given him the nickname Teabag.
When he fell seriously ill in December 2012, his mother Carol called the surgery and asked for the doctor to call her back, declining an appointment because she felt Ryan was too unwell to move from his bed.
Mr Price told jurors the doctors should have visited Ryan's home to personally examine him.
"Had that happened it would have confirmed the severity of the situation. They would have seen a very sick child in need of immediate attention.
"Ryan was, in fact, dying."
If they were not able to attend his house, Mr Price said the doctors should have sent an ambulance to take him to hospital.
"If they had done as they should, his life would have been saved," he added.
The court heard Ryan weighed just 4st 11lb at the time of his death.
Mr Price told the court that Dr Rudling failed to weigh him during two appointments, where she became aware of his weight loss.
During police interviews almost a year after his death, Dr Rudling said she thought his weight loss was because he had grown taller.
But Mr Price said: "He was very significantly underweight for a child of his age."
The allegations include a claim that an investigation into a paedophile ring in the 1970s in London was closed down on instructions by high-ranking officers.
Another allegation involves claims that Special Branch interfered in an investigation involving an MP.
All relate to child sex offences from the 1970s to the 2000s, the IPCC said.
Twelve involve the Metropolitan Police and one relates to Essex Police, it added.
The investigations are to be conducted by the Metropolitan Police's professional standards department, but will be overseen by the IPCC.
The majority of the investigations stem from allegations made by retired Met Police officers.
The investigations involve allegations that:
Three of the cases involve the Met's former Special Branch - the team that had responsibility for, among other things, personal protection for VIPs, including many politicians.
The latest investigations are in addition to 17 inquires announced earlier this year.
They all related to claims about the alleged suppressing evidence, officers hindering or halting investigations, and claims offences were covered up because of the involvement of MPs and police officers.
IPCC Commissioner Jennifer Izekor said: "We are continuing to receive further referrals from the Met and have now assessed that a further 12 require management by the IPCC in addition to one from Essex Police.
"Our investigators will now oversee these investigations and ensure they meet our robust standards."
BBC home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds said the announcement of further inquiries was a "very significant development" and that the IPCC now had an "enormous workload" to carry out.
"I think this stems very much from police officers from the past coming forward and saying 'hang on a second I've got concerns about something I saw back them when I was working'," our correspondent said.
He said the inquiries were an attempt to address the "growing number of concerns among senior officers".
Scotland Yard said that since March it had referred a total of 47 allegations to the IPCC concerning historical claims of impropriety by police officers when dealing with sex abuse between 1970 and 2005.
A spokeswoman said: "The IPCC has decided to manage 29 of those investigations; we await a decision on the remaining 18.
"We would encourage anyone who has information or knowledge of how these historic cases were investigated to come forward and assist with the investigations."
Essex Police said its professional standards department would liaise with the Met and the IPCC.
It comes amid signs that Argentina may start talks with investors who refused to take part in two restructurings.
Argentina has been in a bitter row with hedge funds which are demanding full payment for bonds they bought after the country defaulted.
"We want to pay 100% of creditors," the president said on Friday.
Argentina has for years refused to even consider talks with so-called "hold-out" creditors whom Ms Fernandez has called "vultures".
The country has been in a 12-year fight in the US courts with hold-outs who declined to participate a 2005 and 2010 revamp of debt securities.
Under the deal, 92% of bondholders accepted about a third of the original value of their investment.
But on Monday, a US Supreme Court ruling sided with bondholders demanding Argentina pay them the full $1.3bn (£766m) value.
The bondholders also won the right to use the US courts to force Argentina to reveal where it owns assets around the world.
The court's decision means that bondholders should find it easier to collect their debts.
Ms Fernandez made her comments during a speech celebrating Argentine Flag Day.
She said government lawyers will go to New York to ask the judge who ordered the payment to give Argentina fair conditions to negotiate with the hold-outs.
Following the Supreme Court's decision, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned that Argentina's legal defeat may have wider implications. The IMF said it was concerned about "broader systemic implications" for other countries seeking to restructure their debts.
But for Eleanor Brown, it was a reality. It didn't just happen once, but four times.
Eleanor went into labour nine weeks prematurely with her twins.
Arriving at the Ulster Hospital just outside Belfast, where she had been for all her pre-natal care, she was told there were not enough intensive care incubators for both babies.
She was moved to Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital, but because she had been given medication to slow her labour during the journey, she was sent home.
The next morning it was back to the Ulster Hospital, but there still were not enough specialised incubators, so Eleanor was then taken to Craigavon Area Hospital in County Armagh.
Once she arrived there, it was more bad news - the incubators were no longer available, so it was back into the ambulance.
After an hour and half she arrived at Altnagelvin Hospital in Londonderry, just in time for the arrival of her twin girls.
Each time she moved hospitals the process of taking bloods, and examinations had to begin again.
"I was so scared with strangers coming in," Eleanor said. "You were always constantly having to introduce yourself and trying to just get on with it. To be honest all I wanted was just to be in the one place with the one doctor, someone who was a bit familiar."
After a few days in Altnagelvin, word came that there was space in an intensive care unit (ICU) incubator at the Ulster Hospital, but only for one baby. The other twin would follow at some point, but it was not known if it would be days or weeks.
The couple refused to have the girls moved to hospitals that are 75 miles apart.
Eleanor told the BBC other mothers should not have to go through the same thing.
"It's common knowledge, it happens, and it's just kind of brushed under. It will continue to happen which is why we've decided to speak out."
Her husband Ross Brown said the solution is simple. "They need more ICU cots, and they definitely need to not say to people that they don't want to worry women.
"At the start of their pregnancy they should just say there's a chance you're not going to give birth here. No-one should have to go through what we went through."
The Royal College of Midwives (RCM) agreed with his point about communication.
At the moment, it is normal practice with multiple births to tell mothers having three or more babies that they may have to go to a different hospital.
Breedagh Hughes from the RCM said that this case has highlighted that mothers of twins should be told that too.
"Even if a unit does its best to keep two cots available, they have to deal with whatever comes through the door, and it may be that somebody comes in in more urgent need. But I do think there's a job of work to be done about explaining this to women so it doesn't come as a shock."
A spokesperson for the Ulster Hospital said they always make "every effort when there is a multiple birth to inform parents if there is a possibility that they may not be able to give birth in the Ulster Hospital."
Ross and Eleanor said the key is the timing of that conversation. They believe that during labour is not the appropriate moment to start explaining to a woman why she needs to be moved.
The Health and Social Care Board's spokesperson said there are 21 intensive care incubators in Northern Ireland - which is proportional to the size of the population.
The board said: "Whilst the service endeavours to provide care as close to the families' home as possible... this cannot be achieved on all occasions.
"Where babies have to be moved to a neonatal unit outside of their own trust for clinical reasons, trusts make every effort to repatriate babies back to their home trust as soon as possible."
The number of hospitals in Northern Ireland means the incubators are spread relatively thinly, and as multiple births become more common, stories like Eleanor's may become more common.
The female boar strayed from its normal habitat to the Chai Wan mall in the east of Hong Kong, where it stayed for four hours.
Reports said it climbed up a ladder before falling through the shop's roof.
The 25kg (55lb) boar was eventually tranquilised before being taken to an animal rehabilitation centre.
News reports in Hong Kong said the boar fell through the roof on to the top of display case.
It then jumped to the floor and ran around the shop, knocking over mannequins and signs.
The shop's manager told the South China Morning Post: "It just came in out of nowhere, and turned around at the window.
"It also pushed open the fitting room door and got in. Pigs are actually not stupid."
Wild boar are common in Hong Kong's countryside, and can become aggressive when confronted.
They can grow to 2m in length (6.6 feet) and weigh up to 200kg (440lb).
The ruling VMRO-DPMNE, led by former conservative Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski, declared itself the winner, despite votes still being counted.
But the SDSM social democrats also claimed a narrow victory.
There were no exit polls for Sunday's election, called two years early as part of a Western-brokered agreement to end a paralysing political crisis.
Vlatko Gjorcev, a senior official in Mr Gruevski's party, told supporters at the group's headquarters: "We won once again. Tonight, today on December 11, the tenth victory in a row."
Meanwhile SDSM leader Zoran Zaev, quoted by AFP news agency, told a cheering crowd. "We are the winners!"
The 18-year-old will officially join the League One side when the transfer window opens on Sunday.
He could make his debut in Monday's game against Bristol Rovers.
"What he'll give us is a real dynamic speed and a real agility in his movement," Charlton boss Karl Robinson told the club website.

Christy George, 38, of Nottingham, hit a lorry which crashed into the central reservation between junctions 21a and 22 of the M1 in Leicestershire.
Leicester Crown Court heard she deleted a record of phone calls made during her journey in November 2014.
George, a nurse, will be sentenced on 15 July.
The court has heard George's Skoda hit a lorry which crashed through to the northbound carriageway, spilling its load of beer barrels and hitting a BMW travelling in the opposite direction.
The collision closed the road for 18 hours, a jury was told.
The BMW driver, Murray Simpson, from London, died in the crash, while another driver - Liese Bowers-Straw - broke her neck in two places and suffered brain and head injuries.
George, who was driving to a Coventry hospital to work a night shift, had denied causing death by dangerous driving, causing serious injury by dangerous driving and perverting the course of justice, but was found guilty of all charges after a trial.
Leicestershire Police said during her journey, George made phone calls to a friend and her husband.
The court heard the calls George made involved unlocking and pressing icons on her iPhone to connect the calls, but she said she spoke and listened through a hands-free speaker system.
She said the use of her phone was a "one-off incident" which does not represent her usual driving habits.
"We're pleased that the jury has found Christy George guilty and we hope it acts as a deterrent to other road users," Det Con Pete Davies said.
"Murray Simpson's partner and family have lost a loved one and while no amount of punishment will help them move on...we hope the fact that someone has been prosecuted for their actions will show them that justice has been done."
Michael Bryan said the word pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis - a lung disease - at a Youth Select Committee meeting on 14 July.
However, as it was not a parliamentary proceeding it will not be officially recorded in Hansard.
MP Jacob Rees-Mogg's use of 29-letter floccinaucinihilipilification in 2012 remains the longest recorded.
A House of Commons spokeswoman said although Mr Bryan's use of pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis would not appear in Hansard, it would appear on the British Youth Council website.
The Oxford English Dictionary said the word was "invented in imitation of very long medical terms".
Addressing body image therapist and psychotherapist Liz Ritchie during the meeting, Mr Bryan, from Bournemouth, said: "The 2015 Youth Select Committee report cited children and young people's mental services as the Cinderella of Cinderella services.
"Regarding the lack of funding and attention do you agree that there should be parity of esteem between mental conditions such as body dysmorphia and physical conditions such as pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis."
Mr Bryan, who starts sixth form in Dorset in September, said he had not tried to break any record by uttering the longest word in the House of Commons, but said he had intended its use might help raise awareness about mental health issues.
"I wanted to show the disparity between mental and physical condition," he said.
"I set out to raise awareness and even if just one person is inspired I have done my job."
According to the Oxford English Dictionary it is "an invented long word said to mean a lung disease caused by inhaling very fine ash and sand dust".
It originated in the 1930s and was "probably" invented by Everett M Smith - the then president of the National Puzzlers' League, it said.
Defending champion Rory McIlroy aims to put a poor run of form in 2013 behind him as he targets a third major success.
But world number one Tiger Woods will be looking to add to his 14 majors, and enters the competition in great shape after a fifth tournament win of the year in Ohio last week.

No other vehicle was involved in the incident and police are appealing for witnesses.
The A2 Belfast-Bangor road remained closed until midday causing considerable traffic disruption, but has since reopened.
The Proteas, needing 218 to win, never recovered after a disastrous start left them 10-3 and were bowled out for 109.
Slow left-armer Jadeja took 5-21 on his comeback after being dropped for recent tours of Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
India began the day on 125-2 in their second innings but were skittled for 200, with Cheteshwar Pujara hitting 77.
South Africa had won the Twenty20 series 2-0 and taken the five-match one-day series 3-2 to raise hopes of a first Test series win on Indian soil in 15 years - and gave themselves a chance by bowling India out cheaply for a second time.
The Proteas' bowling attack was lacking injured paceman Dale Steyn, off the field with a groin strain, but spinners Imran Tahir (4-48) and Simon Harmer (4-61) did the damage. Indeed, 34 of the 40 wickets in the Test fell to spin.
But South Africa, who trailed by 17 runs on first innings, failed to come to grips with the conditions. Their batsmen were rattled with the ball turning viciously and also keeping low on the odd occasion.
Stiaan van Zyl top-scored for the tourists with 36, but seven batsmen failed to reach double figures.
Jadeja and fellow spinner Ravichandran Ashwin took the new ball and finished with match figures of 8-94 and 8-90 respectively.
With Virat Kohli having secured his first home Test win as India captain, the second of the four-match Test series begins in Bangalore on 14 November.
He called for a debate about how to address the "erosion" in programming.
So in the year since, how has the industry responded?
There were many thoughtful nods among the invited audience at the Pierhead building in Cardiff Bay as they listened to Lord Hall's speech.
His remarks about the health of English language broadcasting in Wales reinforced a view many present had come to accept.
But Lord Hall left little doubt that tight financial settlements had also contributed to the prioritising of news, current affairs and factual programming at BBC Wales over the more expensive options of drama, comedy and entertainment.
While his comments were directed at the broader TV industry in Wales, it was his own organisation which took much of the resulting scrutiny.
Despite an agreeable audience, the strength of his statement surprised many.
Wales-based network BBC TV dramas such as Doctor Who, Sherlock and Casualty have helped to boost the nation's reputation for programme-making.
But it was specifically programmes made in Wales that reflect Welsh life which Lord Hall felt had been eroded.
The independent television producer Angela Graham listened to the speech.
"Who could fail to be surprised when the director general of the BBC comes to Wales, a relatively rare event, and acknowledges an erosion in English language television over the last decade?
"It's surprising because an institution tends not to volunteer its weaknesses into the public domain.
"So the fact that the director general did focus on a weakness in the BBC's service for Wales was extremely significant. I would call it a game-changer."
Levels of English-language programming have fallen among all of the public service broadcasters. It is a decline that Ms Graham has observed first-hand.
"I take a particular interest in science documentaries, and whenever I ask anybody 'When did you last see a science documentary made in Wales that wasn't about the natural world?'
"I've never found anybody who could think of anything within the last 25 years, and I suspect the last 30 years. And that seems extraordinary.
"We have the Welsh government trying to encourage young people in Wales to take an interest in science, we have world class research happening in Wales, but the Welsh do not see themselves on television being scientists in the English language."
The director of BBC Wales, Rhodri Talfan Davies, accepts the deficiencies in his TV output.
"I think spending on English language television has fallen by 30 or 35% over the last seven or eight years, so Tony was identifying the consequences of that - which is that as you protect vital services like news, there is less money to go around for other areas of national life that might be captured through drama, comedy or entertainment."
Following Lord Hall's speech, I was asked by producers within the BBC and the independent sector whether the director general brought his cheque book to Cardiff.
But a continuing shortage of cash appears to be the main explanation for the decline in programming.
"The BBC has faced a 26% funding reduction in real terms over the last four years, there aren't magic pots of cash.
"But I think what Tony was saying was we need to think through how we want Wales to be best served by its public broadcasters over the years to come," said Mr Talfan Davies.
While the BBC has been the focus of much of the discussion since Tony Hall's visit, other public service broadcasters have also made changes, though not necessarily as a result of the director-general's intervention.
ITV Wales didn't want to be interviewed on the topic, but every week the channel broadcasts four hours of news programmes, and 90 minutes of non-news programmes for its Welsh audience.
While the quantity of programming is unlikely to increase, commissioners from the ITV network have begun holding regular meetings with the independent sector in the hope that the number of programmes that are made in Wales and shown on ITV across the UK can increase.
But ITV Wales's days of producing home-grown drama and comedy series appear to be consigned to history.
While it has recently broadcast new documentaries like The Mountain and My Grandfather Dylan, other genres of programming remain too costly for the broadcaster's Welsh channel to commission.
Content made in Wales, though not necessarily reflecting Welsh life, is set to increase on Channel 4.
As part of the renewal of its 10-year licence, the channel has committed to tripling its quota for programmes made outside England from 3% to 9% by 2020.
PAST AND PRESENT ITV WALES PROGRAMMES:
Wales This Week - long-running investigative series
Sharp End - political discussion and debate with Adrian Masters.
Nuts and Bolts - drama filmed in Merthyr and set in the fictional south Wales town of Ystrad, which ran for four series from 1999-2002.
Barry Welsh Is Coming - comedy sketch show starring John Sparkes which originally ran from 1996-2004.
Fishlock's Wales - one of a number of ITV Wales travel programmes presented by the veteran broadcaster Trevor Fishlock.
Some of the debate over programming for Welsh audiences has taken place publicly over the past year. The Institute of Welsh Affairs (IWA) held a media summit in Cardiff in December, where broadcasters and production companies gathered to discuss the issues facing the industry.
The organisation is now conducting a media audit which it hopes will identify the areas of Welsh life that are represented by broadcasters, as well as those that are not.
But another, greater discussion, is about to begin. After the general election in May the process of negotiating the BBC's Royal Charter will begin, with the conclusions set to confirm the 10-year priorities and funding for the BBC from 2017.
While the strength of Lord Hall's language last year took some in the industry by surprise, it was also a warning shot for the opinion formers and politicians sitting among the TV types in the audience.
He will expect them to lobby hard over the coming months, not least because the financial and editorial outcomes of the charter renewal process may help to determine whether the erosion of English language programming in Wales can be reversed.

The Playboy empire could fetch more than $500m (£354m), say sources quoted by news oulets including the Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times.
The reported move comes after Playboy magazine stopped publishing nude photos saying they had become outdated.
Circulation numbers have plummeted to about 800,000 last year from 5.6m copies in 1975.
Investment bank Moelis & Co has reportedly been hired to handle the sale process.
Mr Hefner founded Playboy in 1953 with actress Marilyn Monroe as its debut centrefold "Playmate of the Month."
It quickly became an iconic brand and its logo of a bunny wearing a bow tie has been used for a variety of businesses, including clubs and restaurants.
The company's financial details are not easily available after Mr Hefner and investment firm Rizvi Traverse Management took the company private in 2011.
But under that deal, Playboy was valued at around $207m.
According to the reports, Playboy was approached about the sale of the entire company after Mr Hefner's home was put up for sale in January.
The Playboy Mansion - famous for its decadent parties - has a $200m asking price and includes a lifelong lease for the velvet jacket-wearing Mr Hefner.
If sold at that price, the Los Angeles property will become one of the most expensive private residences in the US.
The flagship magazine is struggling to attract subscribers and advertisers after dropping its famous nude spreads.
Playboy chief executive Scott Flanders has said the shift in the company's strategy is due to its inability to compete with the availability of free internet pornography.
It has since toned down its content and images to be "PG-13" in order to attract more traffic to its website and social media .
Overall, the publishing industry is expected to lose $4bn in advertising sales over the next four years.
The men, aged between 61 and 77. are accused of physically and sexually abusing boys at the former St Ninian's School in Falkland.
All five pleaded not guilty to the charges at the High Court in Glasgow.
The accused are John Farrell, 72, Paul Kelly, 62, Edward Egan, 77, Michael Murphy, 75, and William Don, 61.
The 23-page indictment lists 131 charges involving more than 40 alleged victims.
The Roman Catholic school was run by the Christian Brothers organisation until St Ninian's closed in the 1980s.
Prosecutors allege a number of sexual attacks took place against pupils there.
Among others claims is an accusation that Mr Kelly left a young boy rolled up in a rug overnight.
He is also said to have hung another pupil upside down from a bridge.
Mr Farrell faces a charge that in the early 1980s he indecently assaulted a boy at a monastery on the isle of Iona.
He is further said to have attacked the same boy at a Catholic church in Motherwell in 1999.
Judge Lord Turnbull adjourned the case until a further hearing in July and no trial was set.
The attendance of Mr Egan and Mr Murphy will be excused at the next hearing.
Brianna Olivas, 18, from Tucson, Arizona, was sleeping with the phone nearby when her boyfriend noticed it smoking and emitting a strange noise.
He moved the phone away from her and took a video, which has gone viral, in which the handset can clearly be seen emitting smoke.
Apple has replaced both the phone and the case that were damaged.
Brianna told the BBC that she had noticed a problem with the phone, which she bought in January, the day before it caught fire.
"It wouldn't turn on so I took it into a store," she said.
"They were able to get the phone on and ran diagnostics. They said nothing was wrong with it and everything was fine."
But the next morning she woke to discover her phone on fire.
"I sleep with my phone next to me. It was on the bed right next to my head. My boyfriend actually moved the phone to the dresser and went into the bathroom," she said.
"From the corner of his eye he saw the phone smoking and heard a squealing noise coming from it. I woke up because I heard the noise and then he started raising his voice."
Brianna's boyfriend grabbed the phone and moved it into the bathroom.
"Right when he put it there, it blew up and even more smoke was coming out," she said. "The phone smelt so bad. I can't really explain the smell but it was really strong. It made the whole apartment smell."
Despite the problem with Brianna's phone, there is no indication of a widespread problem with iPhone handsets.
A spokesperson told digital media website Mashable that the firm was "looking into" the issue.
But Brianna's not sleeping with her phone so close for the time being.
"The past two nights it hasn't been on my bed at all," she said.

The McLaren driver missed the season's first race in Australia on 15 March after a crash in pre-season testing.
His adviser Luis Garcia Abad refused to confirm reports in Spain that Alonso had got the all-clear after the tests.
"It is private so I cannot confirm or deny it, but I have no doubts he will go to Malaysia as planned," he said.
The Marca and As newspapers said Alonso had been given short- and long-term memory and reflex tests in Cambridge on Sunday.
Alonso had been keen to do the tests before flying to Malaysia this week, to do everything he could to ensure there would be no problems with his plans to return to the cockpit.
The tests were conducted by an independent board of three eminent physicians at Cambridge University, set up by Formula 1's governing body the FIA as an extra medical panel when required.
Spaniard Alonso, a double world champion, will have further tests on his arrival at the Sepang track this week, among them a full assessment of his recovery from concussion and cognitive function, called an Impact test.
Following his apparent all-clear from the doctors at Cambridge, there is now no reason to believe Alonso will not also pass the tests in Malaysia and race next weekend as scheduled.
The 33-year-old also completed a session in McLaren's simulator earlier this week without problems.
McLaren say they will be guided by official medical advice when they receive it.
The UN's updated sanctions list named the four as Omar Hussain from High Wycombe, Nasser Muthana from Cardiff, Aqsa Mahmood from Glasgow and Sally-Anne Jones from Chatham in Kent.
They will face a travel ban and a freeze of their assets.
The move is a new tactic to stem the flow of recruits to the IS group.
At least 700 Britons have travelled to support or fight for jihadist groups in Syria and Iraq, according to British police. About half have since returned to the UK.
It is the first time since 2006 that Britain has submitted names to the UN sanctions regime, which was set up to tackle suspected al-Qaeda terrorism and extended to IS.
A government official said the move was intended to send out a deterrent message.
One name submitted to the sanctions committee is still to be approved and more are expected to be put forward.
Jones has written on Twitter that she is "laughing out loud" at receiving the travel ban, but her latest account has since been suspended by the company.
The family of Mahmood described the move as "useless grandstanding" by David Cameron.
By Dominic Casciani, home affairs correspondent, BBC News
Financial sanctions lists are arguably as symbolic as they are practical. Unusually, they put the names of suspects in the public domain, even if they have not faced arrest, charge and prosecution.
Although this is the first time the UN list has been used against Britons in Syria, the broadly comparable UK Treasury list has been used to target two other men.
The aim is disruption.
Banks and other institutions prevent named suspects getting at any cash they have, receiving funding and moving it around. On that level, the sanctions obviously perform a job.
But the effect on any target inside IS territory, who has no intention of leaving or using their British bank card, is obviously limited.
IS recruits bring plenty of cash, knowing they won't be able to get hold of what they leave behind.
Dossiers of evidence were submitted to show the Britons were "participating in the financing, planning, facilitating, preparing, or perpetrating of acts or activities" related to IS.
Uploading bomb-making instructions to social media was among the activities.
The government official said: "We will absolutely go after people who fight for Isil [also known as IS] and are threatening our country."
The four named by the government have been widely reported by the British media for their alleged IS activities.
Aqsa Mahmood travelled to Syria in 2013 and is believed to have married an IS fighter.
She is described on the list as being a recruiter for the militant group and a key figure in the al-Khanssaa brigade - a female brigade within IS, established in the Syrian city of Raqqa to enforce its interpretation of Sharia law.
Nasser Muthana and Omar Hussain travelled to Syria in 2013 and 2014 respectively and are both described as IS fighters.
Sally-Anne Jones, who was married to Junaid Hussain, a British jihadist killed in a Syria drone strike, travelled to Syria with her husband in 2013 and is on the list for being a recruiter for the group.
Aamer Anwar, the Mahmood family's lawyer, said they were "horrified and distraught".
"They believe this is no more than useless grandstanding by the prime minister," he said.
"In relation to the financial aspects, freezing of assets will have no impact at all on somebody like Aqsa Mahmood, who had no assets.
"But it will also have no impact, they believe, on young teenagers who want to go off and fight for Isis.
"It's hardly going to stop them or deter them that the prime minister wants to freeze their bank accounts or their pocket money."
He said the family was more concerned about the travel ban.
"They've always hoped that one day their daughter one day would see sense, that Isis is no more than a twisted perverted distortion of Islam - it's a death cult," he said.
"And that she would break with them and one day come home.
"The idea of a travel ban is literally the British government washing their hands of their own citizens and saying: 'It's Syria's problem now'."
Muthana's father, Ahmed, said that as far as he knew his son, who studied medicine before leaving Cardiff in 2013, did not have any money to freeze.
The UN list contains the names of 72 organisations and 231 individuals. British nationals Abu Hamza al-Masri, currently serving a life sentence in prison after being found guilty of supporting terrorism, and Syrian-born Mohammed al Ghabra, 35, from east London, who has been linked to al-Qaeda, were already on the list.
The announcement of the sanctions comes as the prime minister joins other world leaders at the UN General Assembly in New York.
The government is also to spend an extra £10m on a new unit to counter propaganda from IS militants and is establishing a new committee of senior ministers to focus on the threat from the group.
A British official said Mr Cameron believes "we can and must do more to win the battle for hearts and minds".
The new unit will be based in London but with links across the Arab world to try to counter the extremist message.
After closing down 3.5% on Monday, Japan's Nikkei 225 opened in positive territory, though only just.
The benchmark was up 0.12% to 16,039.12 points after the opening bell.
By mid-morning however, the index had fallen again and was down 0.93% to 15,869.80 points.
In Australia, Sydney's benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index was lower by 1.55% at 5,230.10, following a holiday on Monday.
In addition to worries over the UK's upcoming referendum, investors are also eying the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan, both of which are set to hold meetings this week.
Most analysts have said it is unlikely either central bank will announce rate cuts, however.
In South Korea, the benchmark Kospi was down 0.33% at 1,972.57.
In China, Hong Kong's Hang Seng was flat at 20,500.98 after ending lower on Monday by 2.5%, while the Shanghai Composite was also flat, up just 0.05% to 2,835.57.
More than 700 people at 17 councils are employed on the contracts, which allow authorities to hire staff but with no guarantee of work, the BBC has found.
The Labour group on Gloucester City Council, where 23% of workers are on zero-hours contracts, called it a "blight on the workforce".
The council said many zero-hours workers were employed for events.
The BBC used Freedom of Information requests sent to 18 councils in the west of England to determine how many people were employed on zero-hours contacts. One did not reply.
Gloucester City Council leader, Conservative councillor Paul James, said the authority runs many "popular events" during the year.
What are zero-hours contracts?
"With such a programme to maintain, it is inevitable that we will need more people to help run them than we need to keep on our permanent establishment," he said.
But Kate Haigh, who leads the Labour group in Gloucester, said the council should set an example to its partners who provide services to the council.
"People on zero hours often suffer from the inability to plan financially and predict income," she said.
"There are some services where work is seasonal or specialist, but nonetheless we ought to offer a minimum fixed number of hours to staff who are providing the public with services."
Wiltshire Council, which has the highest number of zero-hours workers, said many were employed in the authority's leisure centres. The contracts offer flexibility, it said.
Joanne Kaye, from Unison, said the overall number of zero-hours workers may be higher because of the increased use of contractors.
But she believed the public backlash against zero-hours work would lead to more services coming back in-house.
The Office of National Statistics (ONS) said 583,000 people reported they were on a zero-hours contract in the period October to December 2013.
This is more than double than in the same period in 2012.
The ONS said the changes were likely to have been influenced by increased awareness of zero-hours contracts following media coverage.
Total of zero-hour employees per council and the total number of full time equivalent staff per council.

Sedgemoor Council - 4/331
Bath and North East Somerset Council, Mendip, West Somerset, Forest of Dean, Tewkesbury, Bristol City, Stroud, Cheltenham Borough and South Somerset said they do not employ anybody on zero-hour contracts.
Swindon Borough Council did not reply to the Freedom of Information request.

Despite a second-wicket stand of 74 between Cecelia Joyce (41) and Kim Garth (33), Ireland's challenge faded as they were bowled out for 185.
India and South Africa have clinched World Cup qualification after beating Bangladesh and Sri Lanka respectively.
With Ireland now out of contention, the final two places for the tournament - to be held in England in June and July - are likely to go to Sri Lanka and Pakistan, although Bangladesh could progress if they were to thrash Sri Lanka in their final game on Sunday and overhaul one of their rivals on net run rate.
Ireland's hopes of qualifying were already remote after suffering a seven-wicket defeat by Bangladesh in their opening Super Six match on Wednesday.
Pakistan's success at the Colombo Cricket Club owed a lot to second-wicket stand of 136 in 25 overs between Javeria and Nahida Khan (72), who hit 24 of Pakistan's 36 boundaries between them.
Nain Abidi chipped in with 44 from 55 balls as the Irish bowlers toiled in sweltering conditions, although 15-year-old Gaby Lewis (2-62) picked up two wickets in the last 10 overs.
A record-breaking run chase was needed for Ireland to stay in World Cup contention - as their target of 272 would have been their second highest one-day international total of all time, dwarfing their highest total batting second (204, against South Africa in Dublin last summer) and their highest successful run chase (175, against the Netherlands in 2010).
Despite the odds being against them, Joyce and Garth took the score to 91-1 in the 27th over before both were dismissed by successive deliveries.
Former captain Isobel Joyce fought a rearguard action, making 33, but Ireland's hopes of overhauling that massive target were over long before they were bowled out with seven balls of the innings to spare.
While their Super Six campaign will end with a dead-rubber game against South Africa at Colombo's P Sara Oval on Sunday, by virtue of qualifying for the Super Six they have retained their one-day international status.

But now his profile is set to go international through his latest client - Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam.
Mr Mary was once a youth footballer at top Belgian side Anderlecht before suffering an injury and it would appear he has channelled the same competitive spirit needed in professional sport into his new vocation.
"If someone is described as public enemy number one, I want to fight that abuse of authority," Belgian paper Metro quoted him as saying.
And few would accuse him of shying away from a fight. He had to repeat the first year of his law degree three times but went on to be regarded as one of Belgium's best legal professionals.
Former clients include Fouad Belkacem, who led the Sharia4Belgium group and was convicted of sending jihadists to fight in Syria.
He has also defended Michel Lelievre, an accomplice of Belgian serial killer and paedophile Marc Dutroux.
Mr Mary suggested as far back as in January he would be prepared to represent Abdeslam, after he was contacted by someone close to him while still on the run, Le Soir reported.
The fugitive was finally captured in a dramatic raid in Brussels last week and is now fighting extradition to France.
Abdeslam does not deny his presence at the brutal Paris attacks last November. Indeed, Mr Mary told L'Express he would be "bothered" by having to defend such a line - and was not prepared to do so.
Instead Mr Mary has focused on procedure, accusing the Belgian foreign minister of political interference and the French authorities of legal overreach by seeking his client's extradition.
"We have to stop kneeling, to stop this guilt complex that seems to exist in Belgium over the attacks in France," the lawyer told La Derniere Heure newspaper.
He has also said he will sue French prosecutor Francois Molins after the official revealed that Abdeslam said he had abandoned plans to blow himself up during the attacks, something Mr Mary said was a violation of judicial confidentiality.
Despite this Mr Mary said his client was co-operating with the authorities and that there "is no single reason that he won't go to France".

His actions do not fit a template. He has acted for the victim of a horrendous sulphuric acid attack and has said he will not represent members of the extreme right.
All defendants have the right to an advocate, however abhorrent their crimes may be - it is an essential part of a fair trial.
Not everyone believes he is just a man doing his job of course. Comments on social media have labelled him "inhuman" and "callous", and of cynically exploiting a tragedy for his own publicity.
Mr Mary says he is motivated by "the fight against impunity and the abuse of power".
"Do you remember the live press conferences by the federal prosecutors in the days, and even nights, after the attacks?" he told Le Soir.

Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman Jason Clark said that the state's supply of pentobarbital would end in September.
Texas has the highest execution rate in the country, with 11 inmates put to death so far in 2013.
Some drugs companies have objected to their products being used for capital punishment.
Texas has used pentobarbital, a drug used to treat severe epilepsy, in executions since July 2012.
The state was forced to change to the single-dose sedative when supplies of sodium thiopental, one of three drugs used previously, were cut off.
But state officials are now having difficulties with the availability of pentobarbital, which is also typically used to put down animals.
"We will be unable to use our current supply of pentobarbital after it expires,'' the Associated Press news agency quoted department spokesman Jason Clark as saying. "We are exploring all options at this time."
The state is planning at least five more executions this year.
Reuters quoted Mr Clark as saying that Texas was confident it would be able to continue with the deaths, despite the shortage.
Richard Dieter, who heads the Washington-based Death Penalty Information Center, said other states would be having similar problems.
"The states really scramble to go all over to get drugs,'' he told AP.
"Some went overseas, some got from each other. But these manufacturers - a number them are based in Europe - don't want to participate in our executions. So they've clamped down as much as they can."
The first US prisoner put to death using pentobarbital is believed to be 58-year-old John David Duty.
Duty, who killed a cellmate in 2001, died in Oklahoma in December 2010.
Texas is reported to have executed more than 500 death row inmates since 1982 - the highest of any US state. Virginia came in second with 110, AP said.
Journalist Vladimir Kara-Murza, who works for pro-democracy group Open Russia, became ill earlier this month.
He has now recovered enough to leave the country to seek further treatment, his lawyer Vadim Prokhorov said on Facebook on Sunday.
The activist nearly died when he suffered sudden kidney failure in 2015.
Mr Kara-Murza, a friend of opposition leader and former deputy prime minister Boris Nemtsov, who was shot dead in February 2015, fell into a coma for a week, with tests revealing he had ingested a poisonous substance.
It is unclear what prompted the latest collapse.
However, Mr Prokhorov said he was leaving Russia on Sunday "to go through rehabilitation treatment after his second acute poisoning".
He added: "The diagnosis in his hospital discharge report is still the same: 'toxic influence of an unknown substance'."
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare or the ACA, is the largest overhaul of the US healthcare system since the 1960s. What does it do, and why is it controversial?
Its aim is simple - to extend health insurance coverage to some of the estimated 15% of the US population who lack it. Those people receive no coverage from their employers and are not covered by US health programmes for the poor and elderly.
To achieve this, the law requires all Americans to have health insurance, but offers subsidies to make coverage more affordable and aims to reduce the cost of insurance by bringing younger, healthier people into the medical coverage system.
It also requires businesses with more than 50 full-time employees to offer health insurance.
The law creates state-run marketplaces - with websites akin to online travel and shopping sites - where individuals can compare prices as they shop for coverage. Some states have chosen not to participate in the ACA, and their residents can shop on a marketplace run by the federal government.
In addition, the law bans insurance companies from denying health coverage to people with pre-existing health conditions, allows young people to remain on their parents' plans until age 26, and expands eligibility for the government-run Medicaid health programme for the poor.
The law aims eventually to slow the growth of US healthcare spending, which is the highest in the world.
Republicans say the law imposes too many costs on business, with many describing it as a "job killer". However, since the implementation of Obamacare, jobs in the health care sector rose by 9%.
They have also decried it as an unwarranted intrusion into the affairs of private businesses and individuals.
The party and a veritable industry of conservative think tanks and advocacy groups have fought the law since Mr Obama first proposed it in 2009 at the start of his first term in office.
After the law was passed in 2010, Republicans launched several legal challenges. In 2012 the US Supreme Court declared it constitutional. It also featured in another Supreme Court case in 2016, when employers argued both against the provision that says companies have to provide birth control and the work-around that allowed the federal government to provide birth control to employees who worked at companies who did not want to provide birth control. The court did not issue a ruling, instead ordering both sides to try to find a compromise.
Meanwhile, the House of Representatives, controlled by the Republicans, has taken dozens of symbolic votes to repeal the law and forced a partial government shutdown over the issue. Republicans in state capitals have also sought to undermine it in various ways.
Democrats say Republicans have been politically motivated to attack Mr Obama's flagship domestic achievement in order to weaken him.
It's estimated that 22 million would lose medical insurance if Obamacare were repealed. Provisions of the law make care accessible to those who had previously been shut out. The uninsured rate has dropped by 5% since the programme began.
Some of the more popular provisions include:
As the law has been implemented there have been certain sections that work better than others, and some that cause problems for consumers. The Obama administration and Democratic members of Congress have tried to push through fixes that they say would alleviate these problems; the Republicans say the flaws are evidence of a failed programme.
Some of the bigger problems include:
Ahmad al-Faqi al-Mahdi is suspected of war crimes over the destruction of nine mausoleums and a mosque in the ancient Malian city in 2012.
He was handed over by Niger after the ICC issued a warrant for his arrest.
Islamists occupied the city until they were ousted by French forces in 2013.
Wearing a navy-blue suit and wire-rimmed spectacles, Mr Faqi told the court: "My name is Ahmad al-Faqi al-Mahdi, I am from the al-Ansar Tuareg tribe."
He told the court he was born "about 40 years ago" in Agoune, 100km (60 miles) west of Timbuktu, and was a "graduate of the teachers' institute in Timbuktu and... a civil servant in education in the Malian government beginning 2011".
He said he wished to be spoken to in Arabic, but gave no other statement during the proceedings at which the charges were read out.
The judge said the next hearing would be on 18 January, where a decision would be taken whether to put the suspect on trial.

Saving Timbuktu's manuscripts
In pictures: Timbuktu's manuscripts
Why do we know Timbuktu
According to the prosecutor, Mr Faqi was a "zealous member" of Ansar Dine, a Tuareg extremist militia with links to al-Qaeda, reports the BBC's Anna Holligan who was in court.
He is alleged to have been head of the Hesbah - or what some call the "manners' brigade" - which enforced strict Islamist law in Timbuktu during the unrest that rocked Mali in 2012 and 2013, and of being involved with and executing the decisions of the so-called Islamic Court of Timbuktu.
During their occupation, the militants vandalised and destroyed mosques and mausoleums, and burnt tens of thousands of ancient manuscripts.
The city - which is listed as a World Heritage Site by Unesco - was considered the centre of Islamic learning from the 13th to the 17th Centuries.
At one time it counted nearly 200 schools and universities that attracted thousands of students from across the Muslim world.
The mausoleums were shrines to Timbuktu's founding fathers, who had been venerated as saints by most of the city's inhabitants.
But this practice is considered blasphemous by fundamentalists.
Earlier this year, 14 mausoleums were rebuilt by local stone masons using traditional techniques.
The case against Mr Faqi is the first to be brought before the ICC "concerning the destruction of buildings dedicated to religion and historical monuments".
The court, which has until now always focused on attacks against people, hopes the charges against Mr Faqi will deter others who may seek to destroy these treasured pieces of history, our correspondent says.
Some 659,030 people submitted applications by the end of June - up 4% on the same point last year.
The final deadline for candidates applying through the University and College Admissions Service (Ucas) was 30 June.
After that, unfilled places are allocated through a post-results process known as clearing.
The latest Ucas statistics show a rise in applications in England, Wales and Scotland of 3%, 2% and 3% respectively. In Northern Ireland the numbers have remained static.
Applications from other EU students rose 5%, while those from non-EU overseas students were up 6%.
The figures also show that, in general, more women have applied than men.
Director of fair access to higher education Prof Les Ebdon said: "These figures are excellent news.
"Applicants are clearly recognising the advantages of higher education and are embarking on a potentially life-changing journey.
"At the same time, our economy and society will continue to benefit from a consistent supply of highly-qualified graduates."
Chief executive of university umbrella group Universities UK, Nicola Dandridge, said: "It is encouraging to see the numbers applying to university increasing again this year, demonstrating the widespread recognition of the importance of a university degree and the positive impact it has on people's lives and the economy.
"The opportunities afforded by higher education are not just there for young people, but also for people of any age.
"It is therefore particularly good to see an increase of nearly 9,000 more mature students compared to last year.
"We are a knowledge-based economy and rely increasingly on people to develop their skills throughout their lives."
Former skipper Atapattu, 44, was appointed in October 2014 after six months as interim coach where he led Sri Lanka to a series win over England.
No reason was given for the change.
But a statement said Atapattu had served his time "with the same professionalism that was his hallmark as an international cricketer".
Sri Lanka are set to tour England in the summer of 2016, playing a three-Test series against Sri Lanka followed by five one-day internationals and a Twenty20 match.
Enda Dolan, 18, from County Tyrone, was in his first term at Queen's University when he died after being hit on Belfast's Malone Road in October 2014.
David Lee Stewart, of Gray's Park Avenue, drove with the teenager on the roof of his van for about 800 yards before he stopped.
The 31-year-old has admitted a series of charges linked to the collision.
Belfast Crown Court heard on Friday that Stewart said during a police interview he "would give up my own life for that wee lad".
"I am deeply sorry for it, deeply, deeply sorry," he told police.
"If I could turn back the clock I would."
Stewart is due to be sentenced for causing death by dangerous driving and four other motoring offences.
The court was told that Stewart's passenger, 21-year-old William Ross Casement, who he had been drinking with in the hours leading up to the collision, got out of the van when it hit Mr Dolan.
Witnesses saw him standing close to the student's body, which was on the road, before he returned to the van, which was then driven from the scene.
Prosecutors said he "must have been aware that at least very serious injury was caused".
Casement, from Belvoir Drive in Belfast, admits aiding and abetting dangerous driving, and aiding and abetting failing to remain at the scene of an accident where an injury had occurred.
A prosecution lawyer told the court that CCTV footage had shown both men were in a Belfast bar on Thursday 14 October.
Stewart took 13 drinks, including six pints of beer and four Jagerbombs, a mix of a spirit and an energy drink.
The men were later seen to "stagger on the road" before getting into the van.
It was driven to Donegall Square East, where the men went to a nightclub.
They left at 02:20 BST, and less than 10 minutes later Mr Dolan was dead.
Witnesses saw the van being driven dangerously, undertaking a taxi and speeding through a red traffic light.
Mr Dolan was walking to his student accommodation when the van mounted a footpath and hit him.
He sustained a broken neck and head injuries.
One witness said the van had taken off at speed and it crashed further up the road.
Casement was able to get out of the vehicle and Stewart had to be cut from the driver's seat.
The prosecution said Stewart was taken to hospital, where he twice refused to give a blood sample, claiming he had only drank two pints of shandy.
But a sample taken later that morning indicated he was three times over the legal alcohol limit for drivers.
Traces of drugs, including cocaine, were also found in his system.
The prosecution said Stewart was "highly intoxicated" at the time of the crash and had "made two decisions to drive in that condition".
He added that Mr Dolan, from Killyclougher in Omagh, was "talented" both academically and in sporting terms and was "generous with his time with his family and the wider community".
A defence lawyer for Stewart said the father-of-three was "so intoxicated that evening that he was uncertain as to the events that occurred".
Stewart revoked his own bail while on remand, and his wife Samantha told the court: "He couldn't go out, after what he had done.
"He had no life. He took somebody else's, he just couldn't get on with his own."
A barrister representing Casement said his client "reflected on a daily basis" about the incident.
He said Casement "deeply regrets becoming involved in the course of events that led to the death of Mr Dolan".
Both men were remanded in custody ahead of sentencing.
Top of the Championship, Karanka's side have four games left to play and have a two-point cushion over second-placed Burnley, who they face on Tuesday.
"I think we will have less pressure than Burnley because they need to win," Karanka told BBC Tees.
"It's tough for the players in these games when everyone is excited and expecting promotion."
He continued: "It's difficult to manage the situation but they are handling it really well. We know we are arriving in this game in a good position against Burnley, who were in the Premier League last season with the same players."
After a poor run of games which coincided with Karanka failing to take training and missing their 2-0 defeat by Charlton, Middlesbrough have improved their form with six consecutive victories putting them top of the league.
"It's impossible to know what will happen in two or three weeks. I have been here for two years and I have learned this league can change in just two days," Karanka added.
Middlesbrough's George Friend and Daniel Ayala were named in the Football Manager Team of the Season at Sunday's Football League Awards, but Karanka has heaped the praise on the unity of his squad and says many players contributed to Boro's success.
"I can't forget players like Tomas Kalas but he's on the bench because Daniel Ayala is playing really well," said the Spaniard. "It is the spirit of the team to play together."
The Briton, 29, will end the year at the top of the rankings if he wins the title at London's O2 Arena.
Murray faces Croatia's Cilic in his opening round-robin match at approximately 20:00 GMT.
"I just want to finish the year on a high note by playing well," the Scot told BBC Sport.
"If I finish number one, that's great, but that wasn't a goal of mine a few months ago. I wanted to put myself in a position to hopefully get there at the beginning part of next year."
Switzerland's Stan Wawrinka plays Kei Nishikori of Japan in Monday's first singles match at 14:00, live on BBC Two and the BBC Sport website.
Murray overtook Novak Djokovic at the top of the rankings last week and is locked in a battle with the Serb to see which of them ends the year as world number one.
Djokovic opened with a three-set win over Dominic Thiem on Sunday, and knows that two group-stage wins followed by a record sixth ATP Finals title would see him reclaim top spot.
However, Murray can deny Djokovic if the Scot wins the season finale for the first time.
"He said that it wasn't a focus to be world number one this year," said BBC Sport commentator Andrew Castle.
"But with the Wimbledon title and Olympic gold behind him, he perhaps reset himself after the US Open and just said, 'It's available and I'm going to go for it.'
"He basically won every single match for the last six weeks."
Media playback is not supported on this device
By his own standards, Murray has a relatively mediocre 11-11 record in eight previous appearances at the ATP finale, but he arrives this year in as strong a position as ever.
He is on a 19-match winning streak, and took three days off following his Paris Masters win before practising on the newly speeded up O2 Arena last week.
"The court's definitely a bit faster than it has been in the past, so that changes the way you play the matches a little bit," said Murray.
"But I think that's a positive thing. At the end of the year, when the players have played a lot of tennis, to play on the slowest court with really, really long rallies is tough, so it will shorten the points a bit and maybe make for some better tennis."
Murray has enjoyed the best season of his career, but if he is to hold on to the number one spot he must come through the most difficult run of matches he has faced in terms of rankings.
The Briton will play world number three Wawrinka, number five Nishikori and number seven Cilic in the John McEnroe Group, with only two progressing to the semi-finals.
First up is Cilic, who beat Murray last time out in Cincinnati three months ago but has won just three of their 14 matches.
"He's been on an amazing run these last few weeks, he's going to be extremely motivated and he's going to have the crowd on his side," said Cilic.
"I just hope I'm going to continue with this good form I had the last few months."
The rules have applied to German cinemas showing adult films since 2002, but they are now being extended to cover books available on the internet.
It follows a complaint that a sexually explicit e-book titled Schlauchgeluste was too easy for children to obtain.
One book industry blogger said the decision, taken by the regulator Youth Protection Authority, was "just nuts".
The German Publishers and Booksellers Association confirmed that retailers were now considering ways to enforce the rules.
It has been suggested that they will have to start tracking the titles that count as "youth endangering" under German law, isolate them in a specific section and make them invisible using filtering software.
But Jessica Sanger, from the legal team at the German Publishers and Booksellers Association, said: "A time lock doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to us as kids can find ways to circumvent that.
"A system that requires proof of age is harder to circumvent and that is the way we see things going."
Booksellers face fines of 50,000 euros (£35,000) if they do not comply with the rules.
Digital media blogger Nate Hoffelder said it did not make sense to apply the legislation to e-books.
"Given the prevalence of adult content on websites outside of Germany, trying to control access on sites in Germany is just nuts," he wrote on his Inks, Bits and Pixels blog.
"Even King Canute knew that he could not hold back the tide, but apparently German regulators lack that level of common sense."
The decision to change the rules was sparked by a transgender memoir called Schlauchgeluste (Pantyhose Cravings), which became the subject of legal action over its easy availability in a bookseller's database.
Tunnelling is set to start for a line from Turin to Lyon, which is expected to cut the travel time by nearly half.
Local residents built barricades to prevent heavy machinery from starting work in the picturesque Val di Susa, in northern Italy.
Police used fire hoses and tear gas to disperse them.
Police had to escort the contractor's bulldozers to the high Alpine site where work is due to begin.
Demonstrators set on fire barricades erected to keep out intruders, but failed to halt the works.
Despite environmental objections, the Italian government is determined to go ahead with the project, which is heavily backed by EU money and is estimated to cost 15bn euros (£13bn).
Work is due to start by 30 June or the country risks losing the hundreds of million euros the EU is contributing, a minister said at the weekend.
Earlier, more than 3,000 people took part in a peaceful, overnight candle-lit prayer vigil against the project.
"The majority of residents of the valley are against this project which damages the environment and is an absurdity for public finances," said Paolo Ferrero, secretary of Italy's Communist Refoundation Party.
Residents fear that, despite safeguards built into the multi-billion euro project in a deal signed in 2001, an area of outstanding natural beauty is going to be spoilt.
Other protests have been announced on the internet, with a demonstration due in Rome on Tuesday, reports say.
The council was asked to consider cutting the length of summer holidays from six weeks to five.
The other week would then be moved to another time in the school year.
The authority's children and young people scrutiny committee will now look into possible dates and consider the wider implications of the move.
The proposal - put forward by Gabalfa Liberal Democrat councillor Ed Bridges - highlighted what he called the "disproportionately expensive cost of holidays" during the traditional holiday break.
"Currently families taking holidays during school term time can do so more cheaply than during allocated school holiday times," said Mr Bridges.
"From my own experience the cost of going away for a week during October half term is basically double what you would spend on the same holiday in May during the school term time.
"Families are often having to make a very difficult decision of whether they go on holiday during school term time and pull their children out of school, or in some cases not go on holiday at all if finances don't allow it."
It was suggested extending the October half term to two weeks could help families save money by booking travel outside peak periods.
A Welsh Government spokesman said the education secretary Kirsty Williams would not be using ministerial powers to direct local authorities and governing bodies what their term dates must be.
He said the government was "pleased to see that they have successfully worked together to ensure harmonisation of term dates across geographical areas for 2017-18".
"Schools have a discretionary power to authorise up to 10 days' absence during a school year for family holidays during term time," he added.
Her book Animal Kingdom - A Colouring Book Adventure currently tops Amazon's best sellers list and she is part of an industry which saw almost one million books worth £6m sold so far this year.
But as she starts work on her third book, she looks back on her success with a mixture of pride and shock.
Ms Marotta, who grew up in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, before moving to Tenby, Pembrokeshire, described her new-found fame as "really amazing", adding: "I just wanted to make beautiful books and I'm really flattered that people enjoy them so much."
When she started, her aim was to create a book people would love colouring as much as she enjoyed creating the illustrations.
But the idea for the books originally came from her publishers. They spotted the adult colouring phenomenon as it gathered momentum in France, and believed Ms Marotta's intricate style of drawing would be ideal for hobbyists looking for new inspiration.
Since then a huge colouring "community" has grown up around the books.
Friends Natasha Trew-Burns, Val Hall, Malissa King and Sarah England, from Newport, met through one of the many colouring groups on Facebook.
They now meet regularly to share books, pens and colouring tips and agree one of the big attractions is the freedom it provides from the modern world's digital distractions.
Ms King said colouring brings instant gratification.
"You can sit down with a picture and have it finished by the end of the evening, but when you look at what other people have done with the same picture they're all completely different and I like that about it," she said.
But all four admitted it was all too easy to get addicted to the different types of pens and pencils available.
And with sets costing as much as £250, it can quickly become an expensive hobby.
Andre Breedt from Nielsen Book Services has been monitoring sales of adult colouring titles and believes they are here to stay.
He said they make popular gifts, and predicts they will be a Christmas hit.
He added the number of colouring books on the market was forecast to double over the next six months and so far demand shows no signs of waning.

Ciara Mageean easily qualified for the women's 800m final as she won her heat in 2:08.85.
Rio Olympics-qualified Mageean, 23, has set new Irish indoor 1500m and mile records in recent weeks but has indicated that she will opt out of competing at next month's World Indoor Championships.
Letterkenny man Mark English showed that he looks in good shape for a strong performance in Oregon as he clocked an impressive 1:48.15 in his 800m heat.
The UCD medical student was having a cut at the 1:46.50 world indoor qualifying standard, and, although he didn't reach that mark, he can still be selected.
""I didn't feel there was any reason not to," as he explained his fast pace from the gun.
"It's a perfect opportunity to try and get two races back-to-back.
"I think the most important thing is to analyse how you felt afterwards and I felt strong so that's good. I'm happy with how today went."
English's fellow Letterkenny man Brendan Boyce won his first Irish Indoor title as he clinched the men's 5K walk in 20:17.81.
"After 12 attempts at national indoors I finally came home with the gold," said Boyce happily afterwards.
The Donegal man will race in three weeks over 20km in Slovakia.
That quake killed more than 18,000 people, displaced tens of thousands and generated a tsunami which caused a nuclear meltdown at the Fukushima power plant. This time, Japan escaped with only a few reports of minor injuries, and tsunami waves of over 1m.
So how common is it for aftershocks to be felt so many years later?
Martha Savage, a geophysics professor at Victoria University in Wellington who is currently in Japan, told the BBC that an aftershock is simply any smaller quake that follows a large earthquake in the same region.
It is "not particularly unusual to have aftershocks for years after large events", said Prof Savage.
While Tuesday's quake was "quite large for an aftershock", the quake it followed measured a massive 9.0 - one of the largest ever recorded - so it's "at least two magnitudes smaller".
In 2011, the fault line behind the Japan quake slipped a massive 50m in one go, as the Pacific Ocean Plate slid under the Continental Plate, on which Japan sits. The seabed rose 30m in some places, triggering the tsunami.
Since then, pressure has continued to build up across the plate, which was released on Tuesday in what's known as an inland earthquake, Aiming Lin, chair professor of the department of geophysics of Kyoto University, told the BBC.
Even though five years have passed, there is still sufficient seismic activity in the area to trigger a magnitude-7 earthquake once a year, according to the Japan Times.
But Tuesday was the first time since December 2012 that the JMA had issued a tsunami alert due to an aftershock from the 2011 quake, said the paper.
Being both late and large makes Tuesday's aftershock slightly unusual, Prof Savage said.
New Zealand, which had a large earthquake last week, is one. It has since had thousands of aftershocks, some with a magnitude of more than 6.
And Napa County in California has had more than 4,600 aftershocks since a large quake in August 2014.
The Messina earthquake in 1908 was a magnitude-7.5 quake that struck southern Italy and brought 13m-high tsunami waves.
But even a century later, Prof Savage said there were more seismic activities in the Messina Region than other surrounding regions.
It has made more than $6.2bn (£3.8bn) in ticket sales alone, not counting merchandise, cast recordings or revenue from the film on which it is based.
And that means it has overtaken The Phantom of the Opera, even though Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical has been seen by twice as many paying punters.
The biggest film release at the box office, Avatar, has made almost $2.8bn.
Featuring music by Sir Elton John, with lyrics written by Sir Tim Rice, The Lion King began on Broadway in 1997.
It was based on a highly successful Disney animation released three years earlier.
Last year, it was the highest-grossing musical on the New York stage, and it retains its number one position so far in 2014.
Its 22 productions around the world are thought to have been seen by 75 million people.
Disney Theatrical Productions president Thomas Schumacher said: "It's difficult not to become emotional at this realisation of the show's impact."
He added he was "deeply proud" of how the stage show had offered the same audience experience in numerous countries around the world.
The producers of Phantom acknowledged being overtaken by The Lion King, calling it "the pride of Broadway".
But Phantom, which started life on stage in 1986, remains the longest-running show in Broadway history and has been seen by an estimated 140 million people around the world.
Ten productions of Phantom are currently running, including in London's West End, on Broadway and touring North America.
And new productions are planned for Moscow, Hong Kong and Istanbul.
He received his medal at a private event in Stockholm before a scheduled concert in the city.
No further details were given.
Swedish Academy officials previously said Dylan would not deliver his Nobel lecture, a traditional condition of receiving the 8m krona ($900,000, £727,000) prize money, at the event.
He is expected to deliver a taped version of the lecture later.
If he does not deliver a lecture by June, he will have to forfeit the prize money.
A member of the Swedish Academy, which awards the prize, told the Associated Press news agency "it went very well indeed", and that 75-year-old Dylan was "a very nice, kind man".
In an earlier blog post, the academy's secretary said the setting would be "small and intimate". No media were present at Dylan's request.
After receiving the prize, Dylan performed a concert on Saturday evening at the Stockholm Waterfront venue. A second concert is planned for Sunday evening.
The Nobel Prize for literature has usually been associated with poets and novelists.
But the academy handed Dylan the prize "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition".
Dylan failed to attend the December ceremony, citing previous commitments. In a speech read on his behalf, he said it was "truly beyond words" and he thought his odds of winning were as likely "standing on the moon".
The 20-year-old has made 25 appearances for League One Oldham, scoring three goals, since arriving at Boundary Park in January 2014.
He was on loan at York City earlier this season where he scored once in nine games.
Turner goes into the Silkmen's squad for the visit of FC Halifax Town on Saturday.
He was awarded the honour during the first of its graduation ceremonies in Swansea.
Coleman, who is from the city, played for Crystal Palace, Blackburn and Swansea was capped 32 times for Wales.
He became Welsh boss in January 2012 and was appointed an OBE after guiding Wales to the semi-finals of Euro 2016.
Then in January, the 47-year-old was awarded an honorary degree from Swansea University.
He was presented with his latest honour by Ceredig Emanuel, head of the university's school of sport, health and outdoor education.
Mr Emanuel said: "It is difficult not to overestimate the effect the Welsh football team's performance had on our nation.
"It has enriched our sporting and cultural life and will always be there as a landmark and iconic moment in our history."
Coleman, who helped Wales to their highest ever Fifa world ranking position of eighth, said he was "ecstatic".
"I've failed as many times as I've achieved, but it's not about that, it's about self-belief and perseverance," he said.
"You'll have so many doubters along the way - if you haven't got belief in yourself, you don't go a long way.
"If you haven't got perseverance, your talent doesn't get you through. If you think you can't, you won't."
Despite being African champions, the Junior Chipolopolo entered the tournament with huge question marks hanging over their title aspirations.
But after sealing a place in the last eight with a dramatic 4-3 extra-time win over Germany on Wednesday, Chambeshi was full of praise for his team.
He credited the players' fighting spirit for their triumph over the Germans which set up Monday's quarter-final showdown against Italy.
"It's amazing and I'm happy to see this team go this far. I'm proud of my team and my technical staff," said Chambeshi.
For sure we have to respect every team and they also have to respect us
"The most important thing is that we have character in the team, we have players who've got that heart [to fight on]."
Indeed, it is testament to Zambia's battling qualities that they overcame a late fightback from Germany to advance to the next round.
During the group stage, the Zambians also fought back from 2-0 down to beat Iran 4-2 and book their place in the second round.
"This is a tournament where you can't run from any team so what we need is to prepare well and face whichever team comes our way.
"For sure we have to respect every team and they also have to respect us."
However, Chambeshi admitted that a leaky defence has been been the least pleasing aspect of their remarkable run in South Korea.
He said: "It's unfortunate that we are conceding goals, we can't run away from that, it is football.
"Zambia is a football loving nation; you give them a win and everyone is happy!"
The South Bristol Link Road joins the A370 to the A38 and forms part of the route for the city's Metrobus scheme.
Simon Dunn from Alun Griffiths Contractors, which built the road, said: "It'll make it easier for the traffic to get to the airport."
Critics say it will worsen pollution and will fail to reduce traffic levels.
The cycle path section of the South Bristol Link Road is already open but safety checks are needed before the main road opens in January.
"The last thing we want to do is open the road just before Christmas and there are any concerns or any issues," said Mr Dunn
"The sensible thing to do is to leave it until January, do the safety checks and then open it."
Green Party prospective candidate for the Bristol South constituency Tony Dyer said: "Part of it goes through green belt and we're not convinced it's going to make a major difference to traffic.
"It will work for a small section of it but our other concern is how it's going to drive more demand for yet more roads."
The four councils behind the wider transport strategy also say the new road, which is 3.1 miles long (about 5km), will help boost south Bristol's economy, a view shared by the local Chamber of Commerce and firms in the area.
Chief executive of Computer Share UK, Naz Sarkar, said: "We have 1,500 people working here. Many of them live locally and they can travel by foot or cycle, they can use the free buses that we lay on for them.
"But we also have people who travel from much further afield, from Somerset, Gloucestershire, Wales and Wiltshire and for those people they do have to drive and the congestion in Bristol has made it difficult for them."
The 35-year-old overtook fellow prop Jason Leonard by making her 115th international appearance.

Raymond Clarke, chief executive of Industry Qualifications, is calling for tougher scrutiny to prevent fraud in workplace qualifications.
And when it applies to security staff, he says, such fraud is a "significant threat to public safety and wellbeing".
Exam watchdog Ofqual said it had "a number of ongoing investigations".
Mr Clarke says regulation is more focused on trying to prevent academic malpractice, but it is not adequately equipped to take on systematic, deliberate fraud.
He says he is speaking out because of "frustration" at the lack of effective monitoring - and because qualifications fraud is "more widespread than we might like to believe".
He is calling for an expert panel to be set up to try to establish the extent of qualifications fraud, particularly in areas of security and public risk.
This could be in jobs such as security guards or door supervisors.
Such fraud could be falsifying course work or test answers, by individuals or colleges or training centres, to allow people to dishonestly gain qualifications needed for work.
And it could mean unsuitable or untrained staff being put into positions where safety would be compromised.
"In an age tragically marked by terrorist atrocities, we need to know that those charged with keeping us safe are appropriately trained and qualified through a rigorous system of assessment and accreditation," says a statement from the Industry Qualifications awarding body.
But at present, Mr Clarke says, there is insufficient gathering of information and record-keeping about fraud and inadequate efforts to pursue those responsible.
And he fears that when fraud is detected in one part of the education sector or type of qualification, it moves to another.
"If you lift the carpet, there's a lot going on under it," he said.
Mr Clarke's own awarding body was caught up in a case of fraud exposed by the BBC, when a college was found to be helping students to gain its qualifications fraudulently.
Undercover researchers found colleges that would sit or forge exams for a fee, for students wanting to get qualifications needed for a Security Industry Authority card.
But Mr Clarke says that the "worrying fact" is that people involved in such frauds "could still be active in the delivery of regulated qualifications elsewhere - nobody knows".
He warns that for awarding bodies there is insufficient up-to-date information to alert them of fraudulent activity.
He is calling for better co-ordination with the police and ways to prevent fraudsters from returning to the education sector.
"A failure to confront the issue serves the interests of nobody other than the fraudsters," says Mr Clarke.
There has been a long history of fraud at the edges of the education and qualifications system - and Mr Clarke says there has been insufficient effort to root this out.
"Bogus colleges" have operated as a front for getting visas for overseas students, and earlier this month more than 40 websites that had been selling fake degrees were shut down.
There have also been concerns raised about private colleges recruiting large numbers of people to courses they might not properly complete - with payments to colleges from fees and students being able to claim loans.
The qualifications regulator Ofqual said there were "robust procedures" in place to make sure awarding bodies gave qualifications only to "candidates who have met the right standard in assessments completed in the right conditions".
"This includes ensuring that the potential for malpractice, including fraud, is avoided, and that suspected malpractice is properly investigated so that action can be taken against those found to be responsible," said an Ofqual spokesman.
"As the exams regulator, we are continually vigilant about malpractice, including fraud.
"We investigate and take action when necessary and alert other stakeholders, including the police, and currently have a number of ongoing investigations."
The Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU) said on Tuesday that they feared the missing students had been kidnapped by al-Shabab, Kenyan media report.
The ministry of education said that the UASU was spreading "unfounded rumours".
An assault by the Somalia-based al-Shabab group killed 148 people at Kenya's Garissa University last week.
An angry worded statement signed by Education Minister Joseph Kaimenyi said that it was "unfortunate" that the UASU would make these claims which would only "exacerbate pain and suffering of parents and relatives in mourning".
It also said that spreading such "rumours" could be against as security law passed last year.
For the latest news, views and analysis see the BBC Africa Live page.
The statement outlines the figures in an effort to show that everyone, alive or dead, has been accounted for but it may have added some ambiguity.
It says that 815 are confirmed to have been enrolled at Garissa University College and that 663 students were rescued.
The government gives the student death toll as 142, which when added to the number rescued still leaves 10 students unaccounted for.
In May, Alitalia filed to be put into special administration for the second time since 2008. It will now be restructured, sold off or wound up.
On Friday, Italian media reports said Alitalia had received about 10 non-binding offers.
"We are serious in indicating we have an interest in Alitalia," said Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary.
He added: "But we are also serious in that our interest in Alitalia is only... if there was a significant restructuring so that Alitalia could reasonably be seen to operate on a profitable basis."
Mr O'Leary also said there would need to be "an absence of Italian government interference".
The Italian government has ruled out renationalising Alitalia, which was privatised and relaunched nine years ago after filing for bankruptcy in 2007.
The government said in May that it would provide a bridging loan to keep the airline's planes flying for about another six months.
About 18 firms initially interested in a potential purchase were reportedly given access to Alitalia's financial figures, and non-binding offers had to be submitted by the end of last week.
Those interested in making binding offers have until October to do so.
However, if no buyer comes forward then administrators will be faced with the prospect of winding up Alitalia, which is 49%-owned by Gulf airline Etihad.
The 59-year-old former World number one and US Masters champion is targeting his first Senior Open title,
"It would be very special to finally put that trophy on the mantelpiece," he said.
Phillip Price and Stephen Dodd will be taking part in their first Senior Open alongside the experienced Mark Mouland.
Woosnam added: "Naturally, I'm very proud that the Senior Open is coming back to Wales for a second time and we will have a solid presence with four Welsh lads in the field."
The Senior Open Championship is at Royal Porthcawl from 27-30 July.
Wednesday's disappointing GDP figures also contributed to the sharp falls in the US.
The Dow Jones slumped 1%, or 195 points to 17,840, while the S&P 500 lost 21 points, or 1%, to 2,085.49 points.
The technology-heavy Nasdaq index ended the day down 1.6%, or 82 points, at 4,941.42 points.
After the close of trading, the business social network site LinkedIn reported a 35% rise in quarterly revenue to $637.7m. However its shares fell sharply in after-hours trading as analysts were disappointed by its sales forecast.
Harman International, which makes audio systems for cars, slipped 7% after posting worse than expected revenue forecasts for 2015.
Online listings company Yelp sank more than 23% after reporting slowing growth for the second consecutive quarter.
On the upside, shares in Glu Mobile, best known for creating the popular Kim Kardashian: Hollywood game soared almost 25% after China's Tencent said it would buy a 14.6% stake in the company for $126m.
The deal with one of China's biggest online gaming companies would help Glu expand in that market, the company said.
The Kardashian game has generated revenue of almost $100m since its release in June 2014 and Glu now plans one based on Britney Spears.
Developed as a response to the stalemate trench warfare, it was hoped the armoured vehicles would be the solution and help push the British advance forward.
"It was going to be like a mobile battering ram crushing down barbed wire, letting the infantry coming on from behind get into the German trenches without being held up," said David Willey, curator at the Tank Museum at Bovington in Dorset.
But even before the first model - nicknamed Little Willie - was completed, it was realised the design was flawed.
"The shape is all wrong, it's a square box on top of tracks," he said. "It was soon realised that the classic rhomboid shape which we now associate with the First World War was far better."
Advancements and improved models quickly followed and Mr Willey says by the end of the war in 1918, the designs produced during the conflict form the basis for most of the vehicles still in service in the Army today.
There have been many design changes since then, with vehicles being adapted to cope with different terrain and environments facing the British Army in countries like Iraq and Afghanistan.
One of the recent additions to the fleet is the Foxhound Armoured Vehicle. With its modular design all components can be removed easily, allowing it to be modified according to its need as an ambulance, supply vehicle or jeep.
It's a vehicle L/Cpl Thomas Warner of Port Talbot will spend many hours in over the next few months as part of his deployment with his regiment, 1st The Queen's Dragoon Guards, in Afghanistan.
"I'm a gunner," he said. "My role is to keep the machine gun prepped and ready to fire at anytime to protect the crew inside the Foxhound and the convoy."
He outlines some of the new design features which help make the Foxhound 'a better fit' for action in Afghanistan.
"It has a V-shaped armoured 'spine' that deflects any potential blasts away from the pod where the men sit," he said. "That protects the guys and components like the engine and fuel tank which are inside the pod."
For him the design of the Foxhound compared to tanks used in the World War One is startling. "Everything is just square and flat, creating a massive surface area. That means you're also a massive target," he said. "This (the Mark IV) just stands out a mile."
David Willey says around a thousand Mark IV tanks were built during the conflict and it took eight men to drive and man the vehicle. "If you think the engine is here in the middle with just this tiny tin cover, it became very hot inside here very quickly," he said.
"There are accounts of guys climbing out of the rear door at the end of a battle in just their underpants because it's that hot."
Examining the shell damage on the outside of some of the tanks on display, L/Cpl Warner is taken aback by how little protection they offered.
"The armour looks quite thin," he said. "When you think German 76mm shells could rip right through these tanks, it's really offering next to nothing in terms of protection for the men inside."
Although tanks were designed to break the stalemate of trench warfare on the Western Front, David Willey says they were not particularly effective. "The first tanks were mechanically unreliable, they were crude and there's just not enough of them," he said. While operationally tanks may not have delivered, he says their impact was important in other ways.
"As a propaganda weapon the tank was fantastic," he said. "The public fell in love with the tank and it was used to raise war bonds."
Before radio communications were introduced pigeons were kept inside tanks to send messages back to base. But they also came in handy when the men ran out of rations.
"There's one story where the men have two pigeons inside the tank. They send one back to say they had run out of rations, but when they didn't hear back they thought it was better to cook and eat the second one," he said.
While the technology of the tanks used in the World War One is far removed from the sophisticated kit in vehicles now, Lance Corporal Warner says essentially the 'job' hasn't changed.
"Their job was to drive the vehicle, to make it as efficient as they could and defeat the enemy," he said. "They would have had to have been a tight knit team to work in those conditions and that's exactly how it is today."
The move comes ahead of Thursday's board meeting where the firm is expected to finally approve the project in Somerset - Britain's first new nuclear power plant in decades.
The French state, which owns 85% of EDF, will buy 3bn euros-worth of new shares in the fundraising.
The project is expected to cost £18bn.
"We need to boost our equity as market conditions are tough and we need to maintain the quality of our debt and our credit rating," EDF chief executive Jean-Bernard Levy said.
Hinkley Point C, which would provide 7% of the UK's total electricity requirements, had originally been meant to open in 2017.
But it has been hit in recent months by concerns about EDF's financial capacity to handle the project.
While one third of the £18bn capital costs of the project are being met by Chinese investors, Hinkley Point would remain an enormous undertaking for the stressed French company and has been criticised by French unions.
But last week, confirming Thursday's board meeting, EDF said Hinkley Point C was a "major element" of its low-carbon growth strategy.
Earlier this month, the new Chancellor Philip Hammond said the government remained committed to building Hinkley Point, despite the rising potential cost to the consumer of the electricity it will produce.
The UK government has guaranteed a price of £92.50 per megawatt hour of electricity - more than twice the current cost - for the electricity Hinkley produces for 35 years.
Wholesale energy prices have fallen since the price was agreed, leaving the government to make up the difference.
The UK's National Audit Office estimated future top-up payments would rise from £6.1bn to £29.7bn over the length of the contract.
Blackman, a former AFC Wimbledon and Plymouth player, has featured in three pre-season matches for the Red Devils.

Chloe Thomas, 25, originally denied neglecting Finley, who was found with "catastrophic" injuries at his home near Tonypandy in September 2014.
But she changed her plea at Cardiff Crown Court on Wednesday.
Her boyfriend Sean Buckley, 28, denies murdering Finley and cruelty to a young person under 16.
Thomas was visibly upset and shaking in the dock as she pleaded guilty, before Mr Buckley then took to the stand.
Describing the day Finley died, Mr Buckley said he had just returned home and was upstairs when he heard a "banging noise".
Asked by Vincent Coughlin QC, defending, where Finley was, he replied while crying: "At the bottom of the stairs.
"I picked Finley up under his arms, I held him to eye level, and his eye were rolling in the back of his head.
"I tried to stand him on the floor and he just flopped over.
"I give him a little wobble and tried to rouse him but.... I don't know how to explain... I took him into the living room and sat him on the settee and I just starting panicking."
He said he then grabbed his phone, called Thomas and told her to "come over, quick, quick, quick".
The evidence suggested Finley's injuries "could well have been caused by gripping in an inappropriate way", Mr Coughlin told the court.
Mr Buckley said he could never recall gripping Finley and denied doing anything that could have caused bleeding on his brain three to five days before his death.
Earlier on Wednesday, the court heard Mr Buckley been diagnosed with ADHD, epilepsy and bipolar disorder and that Thomas was managing his prescription for his mental health conditions.
Mr Buckley told the court he regularly smoked cannabis and had taken cocaine in the past, but denied there was any "after-effect" and that he "rarely" drank alcohol.
Describing Finley as "lovely", he explained his two dogs "fitted in well" with Thomas and her son at their home and he never reacted badly towards the toddler.
He said he had "heard about" Finley having two or three other falls down the stairs from Thomas, although he had never been there at the time.
"What was your reaction to being told about it?" Mr Coughlin asked.
"I was a bit worried about it," he replied, telling the court that Thomas was "struggling" at being a mother.
"She was always calling me; she was depressed," he said.
Traces of cannabis and cocaine were found in Finley's body after he died, but Mr Buckley denied taking illegal drugs in front of the toddler or exposing him to the substances.
The trial continues.
The clip shows a woman using make-up and a razor blade to make it appear that she has cut one of her wrists.
A Russian watchdog banned it on the grounds it provided information about how to commit suicide.
Google indicated it wished to use the example as a test case to help clarify the blacklist's rules.
Moscow introduced an amendment to its Information Act in November allowing sites to be taken offline in order to protect children.
Had Google not taken down the offending clip in Russia it could have faced local internet service providers (ISPs) blocking the whole of its YouTube site.
The video remains accessible in other countries.
The clip was originally uploaded on 18 January 2012 by Russia-based user SNEG0VA. It had been viewed fewer than 7,500 times when the blacklist came into effect. News of its deletion was revealed by the Russian newspaper Vedomosti.
"We will, at times, restrict content on country-specific domains where a nation's laws require it or if content is found to violate our community guidelines," said a YouTube spokeswoman.
"In this case, we have appealed the decision of Russian Consumer Watchdog because we do not believe that the goal of the law was to limit access to videos that are clearly intended to entertain viewers."
Roscomnadzor (Federal Service for Supervision in Telecommunications, Information Technology and Mass Communications) - the agency in charge of running the blacklist - confirmed that the clip had been flagged by a second watchdog Rospotrebnadzor (Federal Service for Control in the Sphere of Protection Consumers' Rights and Well-Being of Humans) .
Russia's rules state that material can be banned for including any one of three kinds of forbidden material.
Rospotrebnadzor makes rulings about suicide and drugs while Roscomnadzor decides whether items featuring items relating to child sex abuse should be banned.
"The company [Google] fulfilled all requirements of the law (delete the video) and now it is necessary to wait for judgement results," Roscomnadzor spokesman V Pikov told the BBC.
The clip is not the only one Google has blocked on YouTube in Russia, but a spokeswoman for the US firm was unable to say how many videos it had hidden.
The creation of the Russian blacklist has caused controversy.
Human rights groups have said it might increase censorship since sites can be forced offline without a trial.
The list is meant to be updated daily, and users can check if a site is banned via an online search tool.
The Russian version of Wikipedia, search engine Yandex and social network Vkontakte all protested against its creation warning that it posed a risk of "extra-judicial censorship".
Activists have subsequently raised concerns that LJRossia - a blogging platform "created to support freedom of speech" - was recently added following allegations that two posts on it had contained "child pornography elements".
Other sites associated with the net's subculture, including a Russian version of discussion and image post website 4chan, have also been targeted.
The Russian government has stressed that the aim of the law is not to enforce censorship, but rather to protect children.
In a statement the country's central bank said it had lowered its one-week minimum auction repo rate by 1 percentage point.
Inflation eased from a high of 16.9% in March to 15.8% in May.
The bank also repeated that it was concerned about a "considerable" cooling of the economy. It said it expected gross domestic product to contract by 3.2% this year.
The Russian rouble was little changed after the rate decision as it was in line with analyst predictions.
Interest rates had hit 17% last December in an emergency move to halt a run on the rouble.
Russia's economy is being squeezed by Western sanctions over the situation in Ukraine, and a fall in global oil prices.
Kuba Moczyk, 22, was knocked out in the third round of Saturday's fight at the Tower Complex in Great Yarmouth.
His family said he died on Wednesday night at the James Paget Hospital in Gorleston, where he had been in a coma on a life-support machine.
A minute's silence will be held for Mr Moczyk at a meet-and-greet event with Tyson Fury in Gorleston on Thursday night, local promoter Leon Docwra said.
"I've been on the phone to Tyson last night and this morning and he is just so shocked," said Mr Docwra.
More on this story and others from Norfolk
A hospital spokesman said Mr Moczyk's family had been at his bedside when he died and some of his organs had been donated for transplant.
Mr Docwra, who trained Mr Moczyk three years ago, said he had a "heart of gold".

The Becket Casket loaned from the Victoria and Albert (V&A) Museum will be exhibited at the Museum of Somerset.
V&A curator, Kirstin Kennedy, said: "It's gives people the opportunity to share our objects and inspire people with them."
St Thomas Becket was killed in 1170 by knights from Somerset and Devon who were followers of King Henry II.
Head of museums for the South West Heritage Trust, Steve Minnitt said: "The casket has special significance for the West Country.
"Three of the four knights involved in Becket's murder had close West Country associations.
"Richard le Breton, who struck the fatal blow, held land at Sampford Bret and Reginald Fitzurse was a landowner in Williton where he lived for a time. William de Tracy was feudal baron of Bradninch, near Exeter."
The casket was made in France in 1180 and is about 30 cm high and 30 cm wide.
Becket rose in favour with King Henry II and was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury in 1162.
But his friendship with the king did not survive and on 29 December 1170 he was murdered in Canterbury Cathedral.
There was outrage throughout Europe over his murder and Becket's tomb became a place of pilgrimage.
His relics became highly sought after and some were placed in caskets - this particular object is the earliest and largest known casket that survives.
The casket will be on display until 2 April.
One hot air balloon ended up slightly off course and landed on a street in the Gortmore area of the town.
Owner Jeff Lawton admitted it was not exactly a scheduled stop, but he said there was never any sense of danger.
"The winds were light and we could see there was a big grassy area so we thought: 'Right, that'll work!'
"There were no power lines so we knew it was safe enough."
Mr Lawton, who lives in Gilford, was in County Londonderry for the Sperrins Balloon Festival which runs once a year.
He said a number of bemused residents came out of their houses to see what was happening.
"I'm sure it was an unusual sight to wake up to, but they seemed happy enough."
Patrick Bradley, an architect whose house was featured in the BBC programme Grand Designs, was equally welcoming when a balloon landed on his property.
"They landed on a field near my house. We were having a barbeque so I invited them in for a drink and in return, they offered to take me up for a trip the following day.
"I'm actually not great with heights - to be honest, I accepted the offer after a few drinks - so I had to psyche myself up for it!
"But they're very experienced pilots so I was in good hands and really enjoyed it - the view was amazing."
Jeff Lawton said the conditions for this year's festival were much better than those of previous years.
"The festival has been running for years now, but sometimes it turns into a bit of a drinking holiday because of the weather. This year, we were very lucky - it was fantastic."
Plymouth Crown Court was told the victims from the Czech Republic were brought to the UK and forced into compulsory labour.
The jury heard victims slept on a floor and in garages while the defendants pocketed their wages.
Five people deny trafficking and other charges.
The defendants are:
Judge Paul Darlow told the jury an earlier trial had to be stopped after concern about one of the interpreters.
Malcolm Galloway, prosecuting, told the court how the victims, some of whom worked as house servants, were sometimes threatened with violence or told their families at home were at risk.
The trial continues.
The singer's performance at the Mawazine festival in Rabat on 29 May was aired on the 2M public TV network.
Mr Benkirane said the airing was "serious delinquency", adding it contained "disgraceful scenes".
He added the "sexually suggestive" broadcast was in violation of the country's audiovisual law.
Last week, Morocco's minister of communication was criticised for allowing the gig to air on public TV, leading to calls for him to resign.
Local media also criticised Lopez for her "suggestive poses" and for being "scantily" dressed.
Writing to the president of Morocco's High Authority of Audiovisual Communication, Mr Benkirane demanded the authority "take legal measures against those responsible".
He said the channel had broadcast scenes "with sexual overtones and which were indecent and provocative to the religious and moral values of Moroccan society".
He said those responsible for the channel and its output "failed to intervene and stop the broadcast of the disgraceful scenes" as the concert was broadcast with a time delay.
Lopez has performed in Morocco before with no trouble, however it is the first time one of her concerts has been broadcast on television.
According to TMZ an educational group is also suing the singer over the performance, claiming she "disturbed public order and tarnished women's honour and respect".
In the event Lopez and her promoter are prosecuted, the sentence could be up to two years in prison.
Good Morning Britain launched on Monday, with exclusives from Paul O'Grady and One Direction.
The presenters sat at a glass table, rather than Daybreak's sofa, mirroring the style of US TV's morning shows .
Daily Telegraph writer Michael Hogan gave the show three stars out of five, saying: "BBC Breakfast might just have a viable rival".
"Recent big money BBC-to-ITV defectees, notably Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley, have struggled in their new home. On this evidence, Reid should settle in more easily," he added.
Digital Spy's Alex Fletcher called the launch show "quite dizzying" but added "everyone has their best smile on and has done their vocal warm-ups".
The Mirror's live-blogger Rob Leigh said: "They're smiling so much their faces will need planning permission for grinny extensions."
Alongside Reid, who is on a rumoured ??400,000 contract, the presentation team includes former Sky presenters Ben Shephard, Sean Fletcher and Charlotte Hawkins.
Andi Peters was also on the show, presenting a quiz feature called Wheel of Cash on location from Kirkgate Market in Leeds.
The first edition ran fairly smoothly, although there was a slightly sticky moment when the weather presenter referred viewers to the Daybreak website during the 07:45 update.
Good Morning Britain's main exclusive was with Paul O'Grady - giving his first interview since he was in hospital late last year with recurring heart problems.
Digital Spy's Fletcher wrote: "The first 'big guest' on Good Morning Britain is Paul O'Grady talking about his recovery from his latest heart attack. It's not exactly A-list and it's a strange shift from the fast-paced hard news style of the rest of the show. However, Ben and Susanna are more adept at switching between the desk and the sofa than any of the Daybreak hosts ever were."
Yahoo News said the programme had a "shaky start" and listed "teething issues" that included distracting graphics and quick camera cuts.
Reviewer Rachel MacGregor was particularly unimpressed with the opening sequence, noting: "Reid, Shephard, Fletcher and Hawkins each read a news story directly to the camera before the next presenter jumped in with another headline. The frequent handovers meant that we saw little interaction between the hosts to begin with, so any mention of their 'chemistry' seemed very forced."
However, she added, "as time went on the presenters seemed to become more comfortable with each other".
ITV This Morning presenter, Holly Willoughby, was impressed, tweeting: "Good Morning Britain is looking rather lovely... Good morning y'all!"
Regular viewers on Twitter had mixed feelings, with one writing: "#Good Morning Britain looks like loose women crossed with Nintendo Wii's version of Sky Sports News."
But former BBC Three and BBC London television presenter, Matt Cooke tweeted: "Very slick, fresh US look for @GMB - seems to have far fewer ads than usual ITV morning shows. And @andipeters is back too - hurrah!"
Another viewer, Andrew Trythall, tweeted: "#GoodMorningBritain was a great looking show, fast-paced, fresh and engaging. Great directing @errongordon. Well done to the whole team."
And Helena Cauldon also praised the programme on Twitter: "Loved the new-look Good Morning Britain today - great launch."
Kaine Milner wrote: "I'm definitely a fan of this new "#GoodMorningBritain show @GMB, faster paced news, less adverts and just generally better than dreary BBC."
But Patricia O'Neill wasn't impressed, tweeting: "Thought I was watching the wrong channel!! Bring back the sofa with Kate and Aled!!"
And Margaret Oliver tweeted: "@GMB sorry doesn't do it for me. Bring back Daybreak."
Several commentators likened the look of the new programme to ABC's long-running breakfast show Good Morning America.
"Good Morning Amer... sorry, Britain! Yes, with its four-strong team of presenters - the women clad in primary colours - seated around a big glass desk, and a weather expert who gets to add her two cents to the chat, ITV's new breakfast news show owes a lot to its stateside counterpart," wrote Paul Jones in his Radio Times review.
The Daily Mail, however, was not a fan of the desk, complaining it hid Reid's legs from view.
"Later on the show, however, Susanna moved from behind the desk, giving viewers the chance to catch a glimpse of her enviable pins," it reported.
Good Morning Britain replaces ITV's previous breakfast show, Daybreak, which launched to great fanfare in 2010.
The show, fronted by former One Show hosts Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley, saw a temporary boost in viewing figures, but they soon settled back to previous levels and the presenters were sidelined. The show ran through four editors in its brief lifespan.
The name Good Morning Britain was previously used by ITV from 1983 to 1992, and is chiefly associated with Anne Diamond and Nick Owen.
Louise Minchin has been presenting BBC Breakfast alongside Bill Turnbull since Reid left - an announcement about a permanent replacement is expected in the autumn.
A player currently becomes eligible when they have lived in a country for three years.
But a campaign led by World Rugby vice-chairman Agustin Pichot is seeking to raise the level by a further 24 months.
RFU chief executive Ian Ritchie says it is "absolutely the route to go down".
He added: "In an ideal world there would be universality of regulation and there's a helpful way of dealing with this, and that's by moving the World Rugby regulation from three to five years."
Last autumn, England gave starts to Fiji-born Nathan Hughes and Semesa Rokoduguni, who had qualified for Eddie Jones' side having lived in England for three years.
An extension to the requirement would mean Auckland-born Denny Solomona would have to wait significantly longer to qualify for England, whereas under the current laws Sale's former rugby league winger becomes available in August.
France have declared they will only select players who hold a French passport in the hope it will reverse the national team's reliance on overseas-born players.
The sport's global governing body will vote on whether to change the rule at its council meeting in May.
Messages scrambled using the Enigma machine were cracked by devices largely designed by maths genius Alan Turing.
In addition, the Allies' preparations for D-Day were greatly helped by a pioneering computer called Colossus which helped to decipher messages passing between Hitler and his generals in hours. Without its help, reading those messages took weeks.
Colossus was kept secret for decades after the war and it is only recently that a full picture of its influence and engineering brilliance has become apparent.
But it was not the only code-cracking computer that Britain made. Steadily more details are emerging of the secret machines that came after Colossus and surpassed its ability to unscramble messages.
A total of 10 Colossi were made during WW2 and once hostilities ceased eight of them were broken up and the plans for them destroyed.
Two were kept and were used to help Britain's GCHQ keep cracking codes.
Bletchley veteran John Cane helped maintain the Colossi during the war and stayed on afterwards to oversee the two remaining machines move first to Eastcote in North London and then on to Cheltenham - where GCHQ is sited to this day.
Moving these delicate machines was a tense and nerve-racking experience, said Mr Cane.
"We called on the owner of an enormous crane and very gingerly the whole of this mass of switches and wiring was hoisted into the air and then lowered through a hole in the roof and then planted safely on the floor," he said.
Mr Cane told the BBC that the two Colossi, dubbed "Red" and "Blue", were extensively modified after 1945 to make them less prone to breaking down and to make it easier to input data.
Blue was kept true to its original purpose of targeting messages scrambled with the Lorenz enciphering machine that some nations were still using long after the war ended. The remaining machine, Red, was changed to be more general so it could be used against other targets.
But GCHQ's work on special-purpose machines did not stop with Colossus, said Mr Cane.
Between the end of WW2 and the early 1960s engineers at GCHQ finished work on machines called Aquarius and Robinson whose development had started in the huts at Bletchley. They also brought into being others called Colorob, Dragon, Johnson and Oedipus.
Prof Simon Lavington who has written extensively about early British computers said Oedpius was "quite a machine" in that it was probably faster and used more online storage than almost any other computer in existence at the time. It was one of the first to properly deserve the name of "supercomputer".
The first three letters of the machine's name, OED, gave a clue to its use, said Prof Lavington, in that it had a large dictionary at its core and was used to look up and compare words and phrases. It is thought this was used to target messages scrambled with systems that did not rely on machines to encrypt them.
Unfortunately the secrecy surrounding the machines had its downsides, said Mr Cane.
"What I do remember about Oedipus was that the two halves of the machine were built by two separate companies," he said, "and when they came to join them up they found that the interfaces did not match."
Despite this, GCHQ was a real centre of computer development and innovation, said Prof Richard Aldrich from the University of Warwick who wrote an unofficial history of the agency.
GCHQ's development of special purpose machines largely ended in the 1960s as powerful general purpose computers became available. As a result the development focus switched from hardware to software, said Prof Aldrich. Additional pressure to use such machines was added by the close relationship developing between UK and US spying agencies.
"Because essentially the story of GCHQ is that they wanted to co-operate with the US so they were pretty much the only government organisation that was allowed to buy IBM mainframes," he said. Other departments were mandated to buy from the government-backed computer company ICL in a bid to preserve home-grown technology.
GCHQ was also probably one of the first places in the UK to get a Cray supercomputer, he added.
That relationship with the US led GCHQ to become a place to store the huge amounts of telephone call data that American intelligence agencies were scooping up. This helped to cement the close relationship between GCHQ and the Post Office. For instance, he said, the two collaborated extensively on ways to automatically recognise who is talking during a phone call.
"It's not just about code-cracking," said Prof Aldrich. "Computerisation is fundamental to everything GCHQ does."
James Foley was unable to write letters to his family because they were confiscated by his jailers.
Instead he asked another hostage who was about to be released to commit his letter to memory.
When that hostage was freed he dictated the letter to James' mother, Diane.
The family posted the letter on Sunday evening, on a Facebook page they had set up to campaign for James' release.
Earlier they had attended a memorial mass for James in their home town of Rochester, New Hampshire.
James Foley, a freelance journalist was abducted in northern Syria in November 2012, while covering that country's civil war.

Dear Family and Friends,
I remember going to the Mall with Dad, a very long bike ride with Mom. I remember so many great family times that take me away from this prison. Dreams of family and friends take me away and happiness fills my heart.
I know you are thinking of me and praying for me. And I am so thankful. I feel you all especially when I pray. I pray for you to stay strong and to believe. I really feel I can touch you even in this darkness when I pray.
Eighteen of us have been held together in one cell, which has helped me. We have had each other to have endless long conversations about movies, trivia, sports. We have played games made up of scraps found in our cell… we have found ways to play checkers, Chess, and Risk… and have had tournaments of competition, spending some days preparing strategies for the next day's game or lecture. The games and teaching each other have helped the time pass. They have been a huge help. We repeat stories and laugh to break the tension.
I have had weak and strong days. We are so grateful when anyone is freed; but of course, yearn for our own freedom. We try to encourage each other and share strength. We are being fed better now and daily. We have tea, occasional coffee. I have regained most of my weight lost last year.
I think a lot about my brothers and sister. I remember playing Werewolf in the dark with Michael and so many other adventures. I think of chasing Mattie and T around the kitchen counter. It makes me happy to think of them. If there is any money left in my bank account, I want it to go to Michael and Matthew. I am so proud of you, Michael and thankful to you for happy childhood memories and to you and Kristie for happy adult ones.
And big John, how I enjoyed visiting you and Cress in Germany. Thank you for welcoming me. I think a lot about RoRo and try to imagine what Jack is like. I hope he has RoRo's personality!
And Mark… so proud of you too Bro. I think of you on the West coast and hope you are doing some snowboarding and camping, I especially remember us going to the Comedy Club in Boston together and our big hug after. The special moments keep me hopeful.
Katie, so very proud of you. You are the strongest and best of us all!! I think of you working so hard, helping people as a nurse. I am so glad we texted just before I was captured. I pray I can come to your wedding…. now I am sounding like Grammy!!
Grammy, please take your medicine, take walks and keep dancing. I plan to take you out to Margarita's when I get home. Stay strong because I am going to need your help to reclaim my life.

He was appointed envoy to the Vatican, with Mr Mursi's office giving no official reason for the switch.
But Mr Mahmoud later said he would stay in his post in defiance of Mr Mursi's order, state-run Mena news agency said.
The row comes a day after 24 supporters of ousted President Hosni Mubarak were acquitted of organising attacks on protesters during last year's uprising.
Hundreds of demonstrators rallied in the capital Cairo against the acquittals.
They accused the judges of "complicity" with the former Egyptian leadership and said they wanted to "purify justice".
The group on trial had been accused of sending men on camels and horses to break up a protest in Cairo in 2011.
In the incident, later called the Battle of the Camels, Mubarak supporters charged protesters in Tahrir Square.
It became one of the most notorious incidents of the uprising and left nearly a dozen people dead.
Some senior members of the old regime were among those accused.
They included Fathi Sorour and Safwat al-Sherif, former speakers of Egypt's two houses of parliament.
Prosecutors said Mr Sherif, who was also the secretary general of Mubarak's National Democratic Party (NPD), had "contacted MPs, members of the NDP and financiers of the party, inciting them to disperse the protests in Tahrir Square by force and violence".
Mr Mahmoud was appointed in July 2006.
Officials quoted by Reuters said that an assistant to the general prosecutor would take up the responsibilities until a new prosecutor general was appointed.
In his first comments since the arrest, Mr Kagame said it was a continuation of "colonialism" and accused the British of "arrogance and contempt".
Karenzi Karake was detained at London's Heathrow Airport on Saturday, in response to a European Arrest Warrant.
He is accused of ordering massacres in the wake of the 1994 Rwanda genocide.
The president said that the British authorities "must have mistaken [Gen Karake] for an illegal immigrant. The way they treat illegal immigrants is the way they treat all of us".
He added that the British had been patronising, "wagging a finger at the African and telling him this is where you belong. We are no longer the African that belongs there".
Gen Karake, 54, appeared in a London court on Thursday and was greeted by cheers and clapping by supporters as he arrived in the courtroom.
A full extradition hearing will take place on 29 and 30 October.
Gen Karake, whose defence team includes Cherie Booth, former British prime minister Tony Blair's wife, said in court that he would fight his extradition.

In Rwanda, protests have continued outside the British High Commission in the capital, Kigali.
Protesters have threatened to remain until the Gen Karake is released.
Accusations facing Gen Karake:
William Gelling, the UK's High Commissioner to Rwanda, addressed the crowd briefly on Wednesday.
"All I can say is that this was a legal decision as you understand, on behalf of the Spanish legal authorities.
"The UK is a very close partner with Rwanda,'' he said, as quoted by the AP news agency.
Spanish investigative judge Andreu Merelles indicted Gen Karake in 2008 for alleged war crimes, along with 39 other current or former high-ranking Rwandan military officials.
He is also accused of ordering the killing in 1997 of three Spanish nationals working for Medicos del Mundo.

UK-led research suggests that the women do not join with the intention of becoming "jihadi brides", but often end up facing "harsh realities".
The report also says the recruits are increasingly younger and come from comfortable and educated backgrounds.
An estimated 4,000 Westerners have joined IS, including some 550 women.
The joint report by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue and the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation at King's College London says women are far from passive agents, with some involved in aspects of IS life including propaganda and recruitment.
But it suggests that, whatever women's reasons for joining IS, also known as Isis, their "first and foremost" responsibility will actually be "to be a good wife to the jihadist husband to who they are betrothed and to become a mother to the next generation of jihadism".
Researchers have monitored more than 100 of the women through social media platforms and analysed interviews with those who have been arrested by security forces.
The researchers say that although many young women join up with pre-conceived and often naive ideas, many are living with no electricity and little comfort and those who do marry jihadi men often face widowhood.
The report says that though many women post photographs of themselves carrying guns, they are not allowed to fight and are confined to their homes with few managing to escape.
Co-author Melanie Smith said: "It gives a unique lens into the daily lives of foreign women living in the so-called Islamic State.
"Often through social media, we are able to read and hear about the complaints of daily life for females, often domestically isolated in severe conditions, and the realities of living within a war zone in a terrorist-held territory."
The report also says programmes aimed at preventing girls from joining IS are "too few, ill-informed and under-resourced".
It concludes that the role of female mentors in prevention and de-radicalisation programmes is vital, but that more such mentors are needed.
Shiraz Maher, senior research fellow at King's College London, said: "Female recruits now make up a substantial part of those who have emigrated to join the Isis cause, but little has been done to properly investigate the reasons why they are joining and how to prevent them.
"This important piece of research will go some way to helping stem that tide."
Mr Collymore said he had been racially abused and sent death threats via Twitter between January and May.
Staffordshire Police said four juveniles were dealt with "through restorative justice which Mr Collymore was aware of and happy with".
It failed to find others because Twitter did not assist, the force said.
Ch Insp Steve Morrey said: "Despite repeated requests for information made to Twitter regarding a number of other users we wanted to speak to in connection with this matter, Twitter have not supplied it.... therefore all lines of inquiry have been exhausted."
In response, Mr Collymore, who now works as a pundit for radio station TalkSport, tweeted: "Cannock and Staffordshire Police have been exceptional.
"It's Twitter refusing to give info. Twitter, beyond UK law. For now."
But he later tweeted part of a conversation between himself and Twitter which said after initial communications, Staffordshire Police stopped responding to requests for information by the social media giant.
Staffordshire Police has yet to comment.
A spokeswoman for Twitter has said it could not comment on individual accounts "for privacy and security reasons".
"[We] have a clear process for working with the police and are in ongoing communication with relevant UK police forces to make sure they are aware of our policies," she said.
She said it was also taking action to eliminate online abuse.
Police Scotland said 33 flats in Gourlay Yard had been cleared and pedestrian access to the area in City Quay was restricted.
The fire service has temporarily secured some sections of the roof but permanent repairs are needed.
Dundee City Council was arranging accommodation for the residents.
A police spokesman said: "Barriers are in place at Gourlay Yard to prevent pedestrian access to the area and in the interests of safety, police would ask that members of the public do not approach the building."
The high-speed catamaran, carrying aid, wounded Yemenis and passengers, was passing through the Bab al-Mandab strait when it came under fire, a foreign ministry statement said.
It denounced the incident as "an act of terrorism".
The UAE is part of a coalition that has fought the Houthis and imposed a naval blockade on Yemen since March 2015.
The United Nations estimates that at least 3,800 civilians have been killed and 6,700 others injured in the fighting, while three million others have been displaced.
The UAE foreign ministry identified the ship attacked early on Saturday as an Australian-built HSV-2 Swift logistics catamaran, which it said was leased from the Abu Dhabi-based National Marine Dredging Company and "did not have any military capacity".
"The targeting of the civilian ship in an international channel has serious implications for freedom of navigation, and is an act of terror," it warned.
The Houthis said at the time that their forces had fired a missile that had destroyed a UAE military vessel that was approaching the Red Sea port of Mocha.
A pro-rebel TV channel broadcast a night-time video appearing to show an explosion and a burning ship.
The UN Security Council also condemned the attack and said that it took threats to shipping around Bab al-Mandab "extremely seriously".
The 20km-wide (12-mile) strait links the Suez Canal and the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean. Vessels carrying millions of barrels of oil pass through it every day.
The Security Council also called for necessary steps to be taken to de-escalate the situation, and reiterated their support for UN special envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed's efforts to find a political solution to the conflict.
Peace talks in Kuwait between the warring parties were suspended in early August.
The show, which ran from 1998 to 2003, launched the presenting careers of Geordie duo Ant and Dec.

But Deeley said she was keen to "recreate the magic".

On ITV's This Morning on Friday, Declan Donnelly said: "We are talking about maybe doing something if we can get Cat back from America.
"She's a big star out in America now so she might come back if we beg."
Deeley has presented the US TV show So You Think You Can Dance since 2006.
Speaking to the Press Association, she said she had not been "cordially invited" to the reunion, but admitted she had spoken to Ant and Dec about a reunion.
She added: "I think it would be a great idea. It's been 20 years.
"I think it's about time, isn't it, for all those with a mis-spent youth?
"It would be great and really fun. If we can all get back together at the same time, at the same place, let's recreate the magic."

Centre for London said commercial property prices in the capital were already falling and a slow-down in the residential sector was predicted.
It said infrastructure works like Crossrail 2 were often dependent on property development.
A City Hall spokesperson said the mayor was "committed" to the projects.
In its report, Centre for London said: "Planned schemes like Crossrail 2 and the Bakerloo line extension are premised on developer contributions.
"On a smaller scale, parks, playgrounds and affordable homes are also funded by private developers as planning obligations, rather than being funded through government grants or borrowing."
There should be guaranteed investment in London's infrastructure "perhaps through government borrowing secured against future tax revenues," the report said.
A spokesperson for Sadiq Khan said the mayor was "committed to building a modern, world-class and affordable transport system, including pushing ahead with exciting schemes like Crossrail 2".
The report Strange Days: London after the EU referendum arose from discussions between a panel of industry experts, academics and researchers shortly after the 23 June referendum.
There are also warnings about the threat to London's economy from future restrictions on migration which might lead to a "haemorrhage" of 600,000 EU-origin workers.
"Mainland Europe does not just supply London's waiters and construction workers, but also many of our bankers, architects, designers, and lawyers."
The impact was being felt immediately, it is claimed.
"Anecdotal evidence suggested international candidates were already turning down job offers because of uncertainty, and there was a real danger that current EU workers would begin to look for opportunities elsewhere, voting with their feet before Brexit negotiations have brought any clarity to the situation."
The panel said there were strong arguments to explore special arrangements for the capital, including a "London-only" work permit, and more powers for London to meet its own skills and training needs.
"A global city's economy will always require immigrants as well as local skills, but devolution could enable the two to be better linked, through initiatives like matching permits for high skilled immigrants with a requirement for apprenticeships for Londoners."
While London voted 60:40 in favour of remaining in the EU, the proportion voting against indicated a strong sense of "exclusion" which raised concerns about social cohesion.
There was a "worrying poverty gap" in the capital, the report said.
"The city may create wealth, but many Londoners see little of it.
"London is a city where the implicit contract of modern social security is frayed - the city's employment levels are high, but one in five people in working families is poor, compared to 15% in the rest of England."
He was approved in a 52-46 vote in the Republican-run chamber, despite opposition from the Democrats.
Mr Friedman, who was once Donald Trump's bankruptcy lawyer, is critical of the US goal of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
He also supports Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, and has backed moving the US embassy to Jerusalem.
The UN does not recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital, and the US embassy has been located in Tel Aviv for decades.
The Palestinians want East Jerusalem as the capital of their promised future state - but Israel claims the entire city as its undivided capital.
During his confirmation hearing in February Mr Friedman, who was nominated by President Trump, apologised to lawmakers for his past harsh language and pledged to be "respectful and measured" if confirmed.
The 58-year-old advised Mr Trump on US-Israel issues during the election campaign.
J Street, the Washington-based pro-Israel Jewish group, opposed his nomination, saying he "lacks any diplomatic or policy credentials".
But America's conservative Jewish organisations backed Mr Friedman.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who did not have warm relations with President Barack Obama, welcomed Mr Friedman's nomination.
Two rangers were hurt during the battle in West Pokot county, said officials from Kenya's Wildlife Service (KWS).
They said 50kg (110lb) of elephant tusks and AK-47 rifles were recovered.
Kenya has recently taken a more aggressive stance against poaching as it combats a surge in demand for ivory from Asia, despite a long-standing ban on the international trade.
KWS spokesman Paul Udoto said on Saturday that rangers were determined to make poaching "a high-cost, low-benefit activity".
The KWS says about 100 elephants are killed each year in Kenya by poachers.
Ivory from elephants is often smuggled to Asia for use in ornaments, while rhino horns are used in traditional medicine.
The Christie hospital in Manchester admitted "historically [it] may not have met the required health and safety standards".
They stressed that there was "no evidence" patients, visitors and non-maintenance staff were put at risk.
The union Unite said it thought about 20 workers were exposed to asbestos.
The independent review, which was commissioned by the specialist cancer hospital, was carried out by Asbestos Contracting Limited (ACL) and completed in August when they found that:
Unite regional officer Keith Hutson said: "It is appalling that these workers have been exposed to the cancer-causing substance, especially as they were exposed in the world-renowned cancer hospital."
A spokesman from the Christie said there was "no reason to believe that anyone has been harmed by our historic management of asbestos in non-patient areas such as plant rooms and other maintenance areas".
He added the hospital had addressed the concerns of maintenance staff "with the exception of their demand for generous compensation on an ex-gracia basis".
"We have contacted the NHS Litigation Authority, which has advised that we cannot pay compensation to individuals where there is no evidence of recognised injury or ill-health."
The hospital had been working with independent advisors over the past 18 months to improve health and safety standards, he said, adding the Health and Safety Executive had "accepted the Trust has made good progress".
They have been making trucks at the factory, outside Detroit, since 1938, and you don't get much more American than the chunky, no-nonsense, big-tyred Dodge Ram 1500s that roll out from the 87-acre site every day.
So if I want to buy American, surely I can do no better than buy a Ram?
Well, no. Actually you'd be better off buying a Honda.
The Kogod School of Business at American University in Washington DC compiles an annual index of the cars Americans drive - and where they are made.
The Dodge Ram 1500 turns out, according to this index, to be only 59.5% made in America.
The Honda Accord, says Kogod, is 81% American.
Now this is partly because some of the Ram 1500s are made not in Detroit at all, but in Saltillo, Mexico.
And then there is the fiendishly complicated issue of components.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), which makes the Ram, has a huge supplier network that buys in parts and manufacturing from around the world from Cordoba in Argentina to Serbia and South Korea.
It's not just FCA, globalisation is in the lifeblood of the car industry, and its supply lines have become possibly the most complex and finely tuned of any business on the planet.
Now this model is under threat.
In the US, President Trump has pledged to hike tariffs on US cars made abroad, or as he succinctly tweeted: "Make in U.S.A. or pay big border tax!" This, he believes, will save American jobs.
Mr Trump may well have caught hold of a global zeitgeist. Before the US election, the World Trade Organization (WTO) reported a spike in trade-restrictive measures imposed by members, averaging 22 per month, the highest since 2011.
"In the current environment, a rise in trade restrictions is the last thing the global economy needs," director-general Roberto Azevedo said.
But the carmakers appear to be buckling under, and scrambling to polish up their Made in America badges. Ford, for instance, scrapped a plan to build a plant in Mexico and got tweeted a pat on the back from the president.
Despite the hype, Ford's decision to build in Michigan is a minor tweak in its global strategy. But if border taxes on car imports work their way from angry tweets to real legislation, the global motor industry is in trouble.
One firm ignoring President Trump's criticism is German car giant BMW, who recently announced plans to retool its factory north of Pretoria in South Africa to produce the X3 sport-utility vehicle outside the US for the first time. BMW is also building another Mexican plant in San Luis Potosi.
Ian Robertson, head of sales and marketing at BMW, points out that its Spartanburg plant in South Carolina in the US is the biggest of all its factories, and says its decision to build the San Luis Potosi plant simply reflects how the industry works.
"This is part of the normal business development of a company like BMW which has nearly 30 production facilities in 14 countries. And the Mexican investment is one in a plant which will produce a capacity that will ultimately supply many markets."
1.7 million
cars manufactured
79%
were exported
56% were exported to Europe
59% of car parts were imported
In the UK, the making and selling of cars is similarly global. Last year, which was not untypical, the majority of cars made in the UK were exported, while most of those sold (86%) were imported.
Few UK politicians are making Trump-like calls for protectionism, but if the Brexit process ends up with the country pulling out of the EU single market, as Prime Minister Theresa May has indicated, it could still lead to tariffs on imports and exports, and hobble the car industry's cross-border supply chains and sales.
"Year-on-year exports have driven the car industry, and with so much content sourced internationally, we are massively dependent on zero tariffs and a customs union," says Tamzen Isacsson, communications and international director at the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
If tariffs based on WTO rules were applied to cross-border car and car part sales, the SMMT estimates the price of an average imported car would rise by £1,500, while overall costs would rise by at least £4.5bn ($5.6bn) a year.
But possible tariffs are not the only problem.
Modern car manufacturing is built around just-in-time manufacturing (JIT), developed over the last 60 years under various names like "lean manufacturing" and "quality circles".
They all have the same core purpose - to minimise waste by keeping inventory at very low levels, alerting suppliers at exactly the point when new parts are needed.
The flipside of JIT is that a delay can wreak havoc on the whole operation.
When a fire closed the Channel Tunnel in 2015, UK car plants, starved for just a few hours of their supplies, were forced to hire private jets to intercept trucks en route to the UK to make sure components arrived on time.
"Many manufacturers carry stock to last them no more than four hours, so they are utterly dependent on rapid, fast-flowing content from the EU," says Ms Isacsson. "If you have delays with tariffs and cross-border checks the costs mount up and in an intensely competitive environment you suddenly find you cannot compete."
While the possibility of doing a free trade deal with the EU for the car industry would keep the wheels of trade turning, identifying which imports and exports were for the car industry and which weren't would be difficult.
"It would be easy to identify an engine, a turbo-charger, but we also buy in steel, we buy chemicals, we buy glass, we buy engine control units. How would you be sure that those particular products are going to go into the automotive sector, rather than another sector?," says SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes.
Ultimately, unwinding the labyrinthine supply chain of the car industry to work out what to tax and where could prove the biggest deterrent to new tariffs.
The Frenchman raced onto a Hayden White flick and crashed in a dipping half-volley from 25 yards to send the home fans wild.
Mansfield, unbeaten in eight games, had not beaten Stanley in their previous 11 league meetings and twice the visitors earned two-goal leads.
In a rip-roaring first half, Stanley went ahead after only five minutes when Omar Beckles was allowed to steer home from eight yards from Sean McConville's free-kick.
More poor home defending in the 29th minute saw Lee Collins fail to clear and Shay McCartan turned to fire in number two.
Mansfield were back in it within two minutes as a Krystian Pearce header from a corner was blocked on the line and the referee ruled Rhys Bennett had forced the ball over before it was cleared.
The pick of the goals came in the 44th minute as Billy Kee beat Bennett out on the right and turned to send a spectacular dipping shot under the far angle of post and crossbar.
But the Stags stayed in touch in stoppage time as White headed home a Joel Byrom corner.
Beckles headed against the right-hand post but it was 3-3 after 64 minutes when Shaq Coulthirst sent the goalkeeper the wrong way from the penalty spot after Seamus Conneely had fouled Pearce.
Pearce then blocked off Kee to concede a penalty two minutes later and the burly striker sent Jake Kean the wrong way.
After both sides had hit a post it was left to Arquin to steal a late leveller.

The 28-year-old, who was treated for a stress fracture to his ribs earlier in the year, felt discomfort during the recent Players Championship in Florida.
"I have been advised to take a conservative approach to my recovery," said McIlroy.
"It is disappointing, but I have to ensure I make a full recovery."
McIlroy won the European Tour's PGA Championship at the Surrey course in 2014.
The four-time major winner said he would now concentrate on preparing for the US Open in June.
McIlroy originally suffered the rib problem in the off-season after hitting a lot of balls in practice as he tried to decide on new equipment after Nike decided to stop producing clubs.
It flared up as he lost a play-off to Graeme Storm at the South African Open in January, and he did not feature again until the WGC-Mexico Championship in March, when he finished four shots behind winner Dustin Johnson.
The Northern Irishman then felt discomfort at the Players at Sawgrass.
The 24-year-old man was found in the undercarriage of a British Airways plane from Johannesburg on Thursday.
The Met Police said officers were investigating whether a second man, found dead on a roof in Richmond, stowed away on the same plane.
His death "remains unexplained", they said.
Police believe they know the identity of the dead man and said a post-mortem examination would take place this week.
He was found dead on the roof of notonthehighstreet.com's headquarters on Kew Road at 09:35 BST on Thursday.
Officers are set to speak to the man in hospital to ascertain whether the two incidents are connected..
British Airways said it was working with the authorities to "establish the facts surrounding this very rare case" while notonthehighstreet.com said it was also "co-operating with the ongoing police enquiry".
The 5,600-mile journey (9,012km) from Johannesburg to the UK usually takes about 11 hours.
There have been other cases where stowaways have fallen to their deaths in London after smuggling themselves onto planes and hiding in landing gear.
In September 2012, Jose Matada, 26, was found dead after falling from the undercarriage of a flight from Angola to Heathrow on to a street in Mortlake, west London.
An inquest heard he may have survived freezing temperatures of up to minus 60C (-76F) for most of the 12-hour flight, but it was believed he was "dead or nearly dead" by the time he hit the ground.
The Royal couple are the last high profile visitors to the school as it prepares to close.
After 400 years the school will be replaced by a new co-educational grammar school in the town.
The Duke and Duchess were greeted at the school by First Minister Arlene Foster.
Portora Royal School was established in 1618 following a decree by King James I. Notable former pupils of the school include Oscar Wilde, Samuel Beckett and MP for north Belfast Nigel Dodds.
The Duke of Gloucester unveiled a plaque to the Old Portorans killed in the First World War.
Adam Paynter from the Lib Dems is the new leader following a secret ballot by councillors on Tuesday.
Independent councillor Julian German is to take on the role of deputy leader.
The Conservatives won the largest number of council seats with 46, while the Lib Dems won 37 and independents returned 30 in the local elections.
More on Cornwall Council's new administration and other news
Negotiations over who takes control of the council have been in progress since the election.
The Conservatives, as the largest party, had the first chance to try to form either a minority administration or a coalition but their proposal was unanimously rejected by the independent members.
Mr Paynter, former deputy leader, said his party would "seek to put people first" and "ensure that we deliver on the Cornwall Devolution Deal".
He added: "We will pledge to invest in excess of £200 million in building 1,000 council houses for fair rent. We will also extend the living wage foundations living wage, to all council contracts."
The council has been led by a coalition of Liberal Democrats and independents since 2013.

The 62-year-old, who played for Bayern from 1970-1979 before retiring through injury aged 27, will not appeal against a three-and-a-half year jail sentence.
"Tax evasion was the biggest mistake of my life," he said in a statement. "Bayern Munich is my life's work and will also remain so."
Evading tax was the biggest mistake of my life - I accept the consequences of this mistake
Hoeness was found guilty of evading taxes worth £22.5m (27m euros).
Bayern's vice president Karl Hopfner, 61, looks set to succeed Hoeness as president, while Adidas chief executive Herbert Hainer has been appointed as the club's new chairman.
The European champions' board of directors voted unanimously to name Hopfner, who has spent more than 30 years with the club, to head the Bavarian giants and his appointment will be put to a vote at a meeting of the club's general assembly on 2 May.
He joined Bayern in July 1983 as managing director and eventually oversaw the club's transition to a joint-stock company in 2001 before taking a seat on the board.
Hainer, 59, was previously deputy chairman at the German champions and his appointment was unanimously approved by the Bayern board.
"Uli Hoeness has always devoted his leadership qualities, great personal commitment and outstanding lifelong effort to the best interests of Bayern Munich," said Hainer.
"He is very largely responsible for Bayern becoming one of the most successful and attractive clubs in the world both in sporting and financial terms. We offer him heartfelt thanks and gratitude for this."

As a player Hoeness won the 1972 European Championship and the 1974 World Cup with West Germany and three successive European Cups with Bayern.
Following his retirement, he was appointed general manager at German giants Bayern, who have reached three of the last four Champions League finals and won the tournament last year at Wembley.
He was elected Bayern president in November 2009.
He was initially charged with evading £2.9m (3.5m euros) in taxes but then admitted to another £12.5m (15m euros) and was found guilty of "seven serious counts of tax evasion".
In a statement on the Bayern Munich website he said: "After discussing the matter with my family I have decided to accept the judgment. This corresponds to my understanding of integrity, decorum and personal responsibility.
"Evading tax was the biggest mistake of my life. I accept the consequences of this mistake.
"Furthermore I hereby resign the offices of president and chairman with immediate effect. By doing so I wish to avert further damage to my club.
"I will continue to be associated with this magnificent club and its people in other ways for as long as I live. I wish to thank from the heart my personal friends and all followers of Bayern Munich for your support."
Seam bowler Carter, 27, joined from neighbours Nottinghamshire last September on a two-year deal.
He took 20 wickets for Derbyshire in 16 appearances across all formats.
Neither Knight, 23, nor Elstone, 26, who are both all-rounders, have made a first-team appearance for Derbyshire this season.
Meanwhile, former Derbyshire and England all-rounder Dominic Cork is to work with the current squad as a bowling consultant as they try to secure quarter-final places in the T20 Blast and One-Day Cup.
"Dominic is an experienced cricketer who knows how to win, claiming silverware with both Derbyshire and Hampshire during his playing career," cricket advisory director Kevin Dean told the club website.
Derbyshire are fifth in the T20 Blast North Group with one game to play, with only the top four progressing to the knockout stage.
They began Sunday's One-Day Cup match against Notts on top of their group in that competition.
The computers, which were in a carrier bag, were briefly left on the main concourse at Wolverhampton station.
Police said the equipment had been specially built for the children and their family were distraught.
British Transport Police (BTP) has released images of a man officers want to talk to following the theft on the afternoon of Sunday 14 May.

The devices were briefly left on the main concourse at about 13:00 BST, a man watched this happen and he walked over to the bag and picked it up, police said.
He walked out of the station "right past the victims" and the machines were "not easily" replaceable, a spokesman added.
Police said a family had been "left distraught".
Investigating officer PC Jason Walters said: "Thieves may think that they're not harming anyone when they take things like phones or laptops - but in reality, it can cause untold upset and disruption to a person's life."
BTP said it believed the man on the images, with a "distinctive tattoo" on the back of his head, had information that could help the investigation.
The 15-month-old's dead body was found by fishermen the next morning.
Investigators tracked Fabienne Kabou down using CCTV in a northern seaside town. She is believed to be suffering from hallucinations and depression.
She said: "I put an end to her life because it was easier that way. It was as if I felt carried along, I just couldn't say stop."
According to court documents, the baby's father, Michel Lafon, did not take an interest in his child.
She was given the name Adelaide but was never officially registered, and nobody apart from the couple knew of her existence.
In November 2013 Ms Kabou travelled from her home in Paris to the town of Berck-sur-mer where she asked local people about the tide times, then left the baby near the water.
She has at times said she left her daughter there because it caused difficulties in her relationship with the baby's father. At other times she has said she was influenced by hallucinations and witchcraft.
One psychologist said her background of growing up in Senegal had given her "an individual history linked to witchcraft" in the West African country, and "radically altered her view of the world".
Her lawyer said before the start of the trial that Ms Kabou "sees her act as we all see it, that is to say, something utterly horrible, and she considers herself indefensible".
The technique involves binding the arms and legs with blankets and is used to help calm a baby and prevent crying.
But Prof Nicholas Clarke, of Southampton University Hospital, said swaddling was damaging developing hips.
The Royal College of Midwives and other experts advised parents to avoid tightly swaddling a child.
Swaddling has been widely used in many cultures globally. It is thought the blanket wrapping can simulate the feelings of being in the womb and calm the child.
But the technique holds the legs out straight and restricts movement, which can alter the development of the hip joint.
Writing in the journal Archives of Disease in Childhood, Prof Clarke argued: "There has been a recent resurgence of swaddling because of its perceived palliative effect on excessive crying, colic and promoting sleep.
"In order to allow for healthy hip development, legs should be able to bend up and out at the hips. This position allows for natural development of the hip joints.
"The babies' legs should not be tightly wrapped in extension and pressed together."
Jane Munro, of the Royal College of Midwives, said it was a "seemingly innocuous" thing to do, but it posed "significant problems" for the baby.
She said there was also the risk of the baby overheating and a raised risk of cot death.
She added: "We advise parents to avoid swaddling, but it is also crucial that we take into account each mother's cultural background, and to provide individualised advice to ensure she knows how to keep her baby safe, able to move and not get overheated."
Andreas Roposch, a consultant orthopaedic surgeon at Great Ormond Street Hospital, said: "Similar effects may be seen in all devices or manoeuvres that place the legs in a purely straight position for prolonged periods in this critical age of early infancy.
"Swaddling should not be employed in my view, as there is no health benefit but a risk for adverse consequences of the growing and often immature hips."
Rosemary Dodds, of parenting charity the NCT, advised against tight swaddling.
"It is helpful to raise awareness of hip dysplasia in relation to swaddling. Some parents and babies seem to like swaddling, but it is important that babies do not overheat and their legs are not restricted.
"Videos are available on the NCT website showing parents who want to swaddle their baby how to do so safely."
The problem emerged last year when it was noticed that the lamb meals in the range did not in fact use British meat.
At first, stickers were put on the front of the packs making it clear where the lamb came from.
Now all the "British" lamb meals will be rebranded as "Classic", though not meals made from pork, beef and chicken.
All the meat included in those products already comes only from the UK.
"To ensure the provenance of the lamb in the meals is clearer (it has always been on back of pack) we have [already] stickered all packs on the front," said a Waitrose spokeswoman.
"We are about to re-launch the range with the branding "Classic", removing the large "British" reference from the front of pack.
"This was only ever supposed to denote the origin of the recipe but we understand why confusion has arisen," she added.
The National Farmers Union (NFU) welcomed the change.
"We made our concerns very clear to Waitrose right from the beginning on this product," said NFU President Meurig Raymond.
"The inclusion of the word "British" in the brand name despite the meat being sourced from New Zealand is misleading for shoppers - and it's frustrating for British farmers, especially those who produce lamb Waitrose could have sourced."
It is not the first time that Waitrose has been criticised over the use of New Zealand lamb.
Last April the National Sheep Association accused the company of misleading some shoppers by selling New Zealand lamb under Waitrose's organic "Duchy" brand name during the winter when organic UK lamb is not available.
Waitrose has now asked it suppliers to try to get more British meat into its ready meals.
"At the moment, because of our policy of buying and using the whole carcass from dedicated suppliers, we do not have sufficient raw material available to make this change but, nevertheless, we are exploring this option," Waitrose said.
Among the ready meals being rebranded are lamb hotpot, shepherd's pie and lamb with mint and redcurrant.
But unconvinced backbench Conservative MPs want the element of compulsion to be dropped before giving it their approval.
Mrs Morgan was pressed by MPs on whether good and outstanding schools would be forced to become academies.
The education secretary said she would not "leave the job half done".
The government's White Paper on schools has proved controversial with some of its own leading backbenchers - who are expecting changes before it progresses through Parliament.
They are understood to support the benefits of academies, but to have deep doubts about the justification for forcing high-achieving schools into academy trusts against their will.
They also question whether there will be enough good academy trusts created in time to accommodate thousands of schools - and whether this new system would be able to protect a sense of connection and accountability to parents.
The sticking point is believed to be about compulsion - with its removal a condition of their support and the suggestion that if this were to be removed from a schools bill, much of the Conservative disquiet would be resolved.
The suggestion of allowing councils to become multi-academy trusts has been described by a leading Conservative backbencher as the "worst of both worlds" - as it would leave councils in control, but without any democratic accountability.
David Davis has become the latest Tory MP to publicly raise concerns about the school proposals.
"The government should think long and hard about this step which will likely be extremely costly and may lead to many smaller schools closing down," said Mr Davis.
In a debate in the House of Commons earlier this month, a number of Conservative MPs questioned the value of the proposals.
At the weekend, an organisation representing many Conservative local authorities challenged whether the academy requirement would raise school standards.
Next month, Mrs Morgan will have to put her plans before the influential 1922 Committee of Conservative backbenchers.
In education questions in the House of Commons, Mrs Morgan was pressed on the academy proposals.
Labour's Stephen Timms warned her that "enforced compulsion from Whitehall cannot be the right way forward".
But Mrs Morgan told MPs that she had not needed to "rethink" the proposed reorganisation of schools.
She argued that academies remained the best way for schools to innovate and improve.
Labour's shadow education secretary, Lucy Powell, pressed her directly on whether she would go ahead with plans to force outstanding schools to convert to academy status.
From the Conservative benches, there were questions about whether the government was going to compromise - such as allowing local authorities to create their own multi-academy trusts.
Labour's shadow schools minister Nic Dakin said that allowing councils to become academy trusts for their own schools would have the effect of giving them even more power than they have at present.
But schools minister Nick Gibb said the academy plans represented "devolution in its purest form".
Mrs Morgan told MPs said that she would not back down from plans which would raise education standards.
"I am not going to be the secretary of state that had the opportunity to make sure we had a really good strong schools system across the country offering the best possible education for all of our pupils. I'm not going to leave the job half done," she said.
And it is easy to see why Van Gaal felt so strongly about his £31m summer signing, who scored twice and set up the other goal in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Club Brugge in the first leg of their Champions League play-off.
Whether it's #Memphis or #Depay - he prefers just Memphis because he does not want to use his father's surname - his performance made him an instant hit inside Old Trafford.
Since Cristiano Ronaldo's departure in 2009, Manchester United have struggled to find a worthy heir to the number seven shirt, but the search may finally be over.
The number seven shirt has an iconic status at Old Trafford - as well as Ronaldo, think George Best, David Beckham and Eric Cantona.
Michael Owen, Antonio Valencia and Angel Di Maria have all worn it and failed to live up to the expectations.
But the heavily tattooed Depay, who was signed from PSV Eindhoven in the summer, reportedly told Van Gaal he wanted the number on his back.
He was quick to add this message to his Twitter account after his impressive European debut for United.

Van Gaal, who coached Depay at the 2014 World Cup, had described the Netherlands forward as "one of the greatest players of his generation" when he signed him in June.
And he was feeling the love again after Tuesday's match.
"I want to kiss him tonight," the United manager said.
"He's never satisfied. I like that. You have to know what you are doing and also what you can do and then your desire to improve is higher. And that's Memphis."
Depay doesn't lack confidence and seemed to find his feet on a classic European night under the Old Trafford floodlights.
But he still felt this was room for improvement when discussing his own performance.
"I'm happy that I scored, and of course I'm happy that we won," said Depay, Eredivisie's top scorer last season with 22 goals.
"But I must admit I'm a bit disappointed because I could have scored the last two chances and got a hat-trick.
"I will think about that tonight and forget about it tomorrow."
As impressive as Depay was on Tuesday he failed to surpass Rooney's first appearance in a United shirt 11 years ago.
After completing his £27m move from Everton in the summer of 2004, Rooney scored a hat-trick on his debut against Fenerbahce.
The only thing Depay may want to work on after his performance was his celebration.
Twitter users were not kind to the Dutchman who attempted to try a dance move from the video to Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae) by American rapper Silento.
Thankfully Depay's team-mates cut him off before he could really get into the dance. His whip may need some work. | A casket depicting the murder of the Archbishop of Canterbury in the 12th Century is going on display in Taunton.

Constance Davies, 88, was at home in Maesteg, Bridgend county, when Gavin Tainton burst in demanding money.
Debt-ridden Tainton, 32, was jailed in February after being convicted of robbery at Cardiff Crown Court.
His sentence was increased at the Court of Appeal in London on Wednesday.
Lord Justice Fulford, sitting with Mr Justice Spencer and Mr Justice Holgate, noted the "extreme frailty" of Tainton's victim - who is 5ft 2in and weighs barely seven stone.
He said: "This vulnerable and elderly lady was brutally attacked in her own home.
"Her injuries, given her time of life and her frailty, were significant and the impact of this offence - both physically and psychologically - will be permanent."

Quins led 6-3 after 20 minutes before Coventry-bound Wasps hit back courtesy of an electric solo Joe Simpson try.
But lock Charlie Matthews galloped over to make it 13-10 to Quins at half-time.
Two Andy Goode penalties to one from Nick Evans levelled matters, but a penalty try gave the visitors the win.
Wasps - who were missing captain James Haskell after a virus - and Harlequins have been playing this London derby since the 19th century.
But with the imminent departure of Sunday's hosts to their new home in Coventry, this was a suitably competitive final chapter to their history as warring neighbours.
A tight affair was always on the cards, with three of their past five Premiership matches decided by one point, and the others by just two and three.
And this game was nip and tuck until the final 20 minutes when the Harlequins pack assumed total dominance in the scrums and laid the platform for the visitors to make it two wins out of two in Europe this season.
A penalty duel between respective fly-halves Evans and Goode saw Quins lead 6-3 quarter of the way through the game before the 6ft 8in, 18-stone Matthews - hard to ignore at the best of times - took centre stage.
He was narrowly denied a try when he was held up over the line but he could not keep out of the game, although his next involvement was less welcome for the visitors.
Wasps scrum-half Simpson, who seems to have slipped down the England pecking order, ripped the ball from Luke Wallace and beat the gangly Matthews before racing clear of the despairing dive of Chris Robshaw to score a cracking try.
However, Matthews redeemed himself on the stroke of half-time, finishing off a fine move after a superb break by mobile hooker Dave Ward and some magical handing involving the likes of England full-back Mike Brown and Fiji wing Asaeli Tikoirotuma.
With both tries converted the visitors led by three points at half-time but a further kicking duel between Goode and Evans meant the sides were locked together at 16-16 on the hour.
The scores may have been level but Quins were looking the stronger side and their pack upped the power in the scrums, duly winning a penalty try to secure the decisive score.
Wasps boss Dai Young:
"We were never in control from the word go, Quins were by far the better team and the final score-line flattered us.
"We lacked energy and it was a really flat performance from a very tired team.
"We've had some big performances this season but that caught up with us today and it was a reality check."
Quins boss Conor O'Shea:
"We should have taken more chances than we did but I'm delighted as it takes a good side to do that to Wasps here at Adams Park.
"It was a big step forward as it was a hugely physical performance from us as people say we can't win against sides that are physical against us.
"Our leading players face a huge four weeks with England and with the LV= Cup coming up it's a chance to give the legs of Nick Easter and Nick Evans a rest."

Prue Leith is a writer, restaurateur, cookery expert and judge on the BBC TV show Great British Menu.
She succeeds Scottish entrepreneur and philanthropist Sir Tom Farmer.
The new chancellor built a business from scratch in the 1960s which grew to become the event caterer Leith's Good Food. In 1969, she opened Leith's, her Michelin starred restaurant.
In 1975, Ms Leith founded Leith's School of Food and Wine which trains professional chefs and amateur cooks.
The group reached a turnover of £15m in 1993, when she sold out all but the restaurant, which she went on to sell in 1995.
Ms Leith said: " Following the wonderful Tom Farmer will not be easy, but I look forward to it.
"I much admire the way QMU has consistently regarded food, nutrition and health as practical and socially important (as well as academic) subjects.
"And I love the enthusiasm and can-do attitude of students. So I know it will be interesting and fun. And I hope I will be useful."
Prof Petra Wend, principal and vice-chancellor of Queen Margaret University, said: "Prue Leith's career and background resonates deeply with the values and ethos of Queen Margaret University, as well as with our flagships in health and rehabilitation, creativity and culture, and sustainable business.
"She is a highly respected public figure who has strong beliefs about the importance of education and in its transformational importance to society.
"Much of her life's work has been in food and drink, in which she has shown significant entrepreneurial qualities, but she has also worked hard to help develop and highlight the UK's culinary talent, the importance of good healthy food for all, and to tackle inequalities.
"She is therefore an excellent fit for our work in food and drink, which dates back to our inception in 1875 when we were established to help improve the diet of the urban poor."

Police fired the shots to disperse protesters marching outside the presidential palace.
Thousands are protesting against the recent abduction and killing of seven civilians from the Hazara ethnic minority.
It is not clear who carried out the killings.
The bodies were found in the southern province of Zabul where fighting between Taliban factions has escalated recently. Some of the victims had had their throats slit.
The marchers carried the coffins of the dead through the streets of Kabul in the pouring rain.
"Today they kill us, tomorrow they kill you," some chanted. Others carried banners bearing photos of the victims and shouted "Death to the Taliban".
Thousands of people took part in the protest - most were Hazaras, but there were many from other ethnic groups too. Tajiks, Uzbeks and Pashtuns, including some MPs, all took part.
They demanded better security from President Ghani and his government. The killings of the seven Hazaras are shocking even in a country which has seen so much violence.
Three of those killed by the militants were women - and there were many women in the crowds in Kabul, some breaking with tradition once more to help carry the coffins.
Kabul has not witnessed such scenes since the mob killing in March of a young woman, Farkhunda, who was falsely accused of burning the Koran.
The Hazaras are a united and politically active community in Afghanistan.
Dozens of them have been abducted in recent months, it is thought by militants seeking to free fellow fighters or their relatives held in custody. Some hostages have been freed.
Who was behind the killings remains unclear.
The murdered Hazaras included four men, two women and a nine-year-old girl.
Officials said they were among dozens of Hazaras kidnapped in a number of abductions dating back to last year.
Afghan security forces have reportedly stopped live coverage of the protests by private television channel Ariana News TV.
Afghanistan has a large population of minority Hazaras who are mostly Shia Muslims. But unlike in neighbouring Pakistan they have been largely spared attacks by Sunni militants in recent years.
The killings have fuelled concern over security in Afghanistan. President Ashraf Ghani's government has come under increasing pressure to address the issue.
"This issue doesn't belong to a family, a tribe or an ethnic group, but it belongs to all Afghans," said Abdul Rauf Ibrahimi, speaker of the lower house of parliament.
- Of Mongolian and Central Asian descent
- Mainly practise Shia Islam, in predominantly Sunni Afghanistan and Pakistan
- Thought to be the third largest ethnic group in Afghanistan
- Estimates suggest they make up 15-20% of Afghanistan's population, which is thought to be about 30 million
- At least 600,000 Hazaras live in Pakistan, most of them in Quetta
- Legend has it they are descendants of Genghis Khan and his soldiers, who invaded Afghanistan in the 13th Century

More than half of the inmates at HMP Cornton Vale in Stirling will be relocated to HMP Polmont, near Falkirk, later this year.
It marks the first phase of plans to close the facility.
Mr Matheson has also said that construction of a new national women's prison will begin in mid 2018.
The Scottish government announced plans to build the facility, which will cater for 80 offenders, last summer.
It will be built close to the existing Cornton Vale prison and will house the country's most serious female offenders.
Another five regional units will also be created by 2020 to house up to 20 female prisoners each.
Mr Matheson said the move to Polmont's newest accommodation, Blair House, would offer improved facilities for women in custody until the new units are complete.
He added: "By housing these women in smaller, community bases units closer to their families, alongside providing additional support to address the underlying issues which fuel their crime such as drugs, alcohol or mental ill-health, we can stop them from committing further crimes in the future.
"It is totally unacceptable that we have the second highest female prison population in northern Europe. This government continues to prioritise efforts to reduce the number of men and women serving custodial sentences.
"The actions we are taking are about tackling this problem head on through smarter approaches which can reduce prison numbers in Scotland."
Mr Matheson blocked previous plans for a new 300-inmate jail in Inverclyde in January 2015.
Cornton Vale, which was built in 1975, has had a notorious history, being nicknamed "the Vale of death" after 11 prisoners killed themselves there between 1995 and 2002.

The most recent tally of women prisoners in Scotland put the total at 412, with 76 of them being on remand.
Of the total, 222 were being held at Cornton Vale.
Scottish Prison Service chief executive Colin McConnell said: "Cornton Vale has been a serious concern for our service and for the justice system for far too long and it's truly rewarding that with the government's support and leadership we are now on the journey to seeing the back of it.
"The move for a large number of women to the fresh and modern conditions at Polmont will in itself be a significant improvement, making things better for them but also better for those who will remain at Cornton Vale for now."
An Education Funding Agency (EFA) report reveals allegations of financial irregularities and even possible fraud at Kings Science Academy in Bradford.
As a free school it is state funded but not under local authority control.
In a statement to Newsnight the school admitted there were problems in the few months after the school was set up, but said those problems had been addressed.
Kings Science Academy, which is a co-educational school for 11 to 18-year-olds, opened in September 2011 and was one of England's first free schools.
Newsnight spoke to a former staff member and also the school's ex-finance director both of whom voiced concerns about the running of the school.
It was set up by Bradford-born teacher Sajid Raza, also known as Sajid Hussain, who is now the school's headteacher. Mr Raza said he wanted to provide a first class education to some of the city's most deprived children.
The school has been praised by Prime Minister David Cameron and Education Secretary Michael Gove, both of whom have visited it.
Alan Lewis, a successful businessman and the Conservative Party's vice-chairman, was a key benefactor and supporter. And the school is built on land owned by Mr Lewis and leased to the academy by his company at a cost of £296,000 a year for 20 years.
A draft EFA report was leaked to the BBC's Newsnight programme and the Department for Education (DfE) has now published a redacted final version of it on its website.
In a statement attached to the redacted report the DfE said: "We found serious failings in financial management at the Kings Science Academy (KSA). We informed the police who decided no further action was necessary.
"We required KSA to address these failings urgently. A plan is in place to recover funds and the school is undertaking its own investigation. Any necessary disciplinary action is a matter for the school."
The DfE said that concerns about governance arrangements at the school had been flagged up to them by a whistle-blower in late 2012, and that they had examined the allegations on an already scheduled visit, arranged to look at the school's financial management.
The findings of that visit combined with the school's own review of its accounting triggered a forensic investigation in early 2013, the DfE added.
The school was paid a £182,933 grant when it opened in September 2011.
The EFA investigation found that £59,560 of payments were not supported by any evidence of payments being made, and £10,800 of this was supported by fabricated invoices for rent.
There was also a total of £26,775 which had been over-claimed against payments which had been made legitimately.
And that therefore, there was a total of £86,335 which had not been used for its intended purpose.
The DfE said that when the academy was spoken to about the discrepancies they were able to provide some evidence of legitimate payments which resulted in the total amount which could not be justified being reduced to £76,933.
The DfE says there is a plan in place for the school to pay back that amount.
The report also flagged up the fact that a number of Mr Raza's family members were hired to work at the school. His brother was on the board of governors, his sister was a senior teacher at the school, his wife also worked there and his father drove the school bus.
Speaking on condition of anonymity a former staff member spoke to Newsnight about their time at the academy.
"I think with the benefit of hindsight now looking back on it it's fair to say certainly the key decisions or the key power and authority was based around his family," they said.
The EFA report does not say whether Mr Raza's family members were appointed through the usual processes or not. However, it did flag up that some staff were appointed without interviews.
"We were informed that a small number of staff were employed by the academy without applying for posts, although they were interviewed by the governing board members to ensure their suitability," the report said.
The school's former finance director Daud Khan also spoke to Newsnight.
"Sajid would do a lot of things behind closed doors. He wouldn't get me involved or anybody else. And I don't know how much he was telling the governors and even if he was telling them the majority of them were all their friends anyway, so they would back him up," Mr Khan said.
A statement issued on behalf of Mr Raza and the school said that the issues raised by Newsnight related to a period two years ago.
"We acknowledge that there were poor governance issues during the start-up due to the pace of setting the new school up in two to three months," it said
"These have since been addressed with the support of external auditors and accountants Deloittes and Crowe Clark Whitehill. All payments received from the DfE have been fully accounted for by the academy and any sums incorrectly claimed have been repaid."
It added that the latest reviews by the local authority had been positive.
A statement issued by Mr's Lewis' company said: "His contribution to the academy has been that of a benefactor. At no time has Mr Lewis had responsibility for the financial management of the academy."
Snipers, car bombs and booby traps were awaiting the Iraqi elite counter-terrorism forces on Tuesday as they approached the city from the east.
The men of the CTF, as the special forces are known in Iraq, appear casual - but make no mistake, they are ready.
Many have scars from Ramadi or Falluja - or both. They have lost friends. Some are younger than you might expect for the fighting they have experienced.
Many are also recently married - it is common practice before deploying for battle - and they are keen to show pictures of their new brides on their smart phones.
From low-ranked soldiers to top generals, two things are repeated with sincerity when talking to the CTF; this is not going to be an easy fight. The mission could take months.
But liberating Mosul is the fight they have been waiting for. They see the city as a bastion of hatred, a place where a poisoned cloud formed before it blew across their country.
That has nothing to do, however, with how they view the massive civilian population of Mosul.
Arguably, nobody better understands what life has been like for civilians living under IS rule than the CTF, who are often the first to enter occupied areas.
A Humvee gunner, who is known as "The Bullet", has been shot and is riddled with shrapnel after fighting in other parts of Iraq over the past year.
We show each other pictures of our families and he tells me he only has two "loves" - his wife and his country.
His smile does not give away all that he has done and seen.
His friend, another gunner, shows me pictures of tortured bodies that the pair had come across in Falluja.
One commander is Major Salam - he has a full name, but here, he doesn't need it. His men follow him without question and he is known as a "door-kicker".
He is always in front of his men; his body is visibly riddled with proof of his "lead by example" mantra. He spent weeks in France this year for medical reasons, after fighting in Falluja.
If there are unsung heroes in their ranks, it is the men driving the bulldozers. They are sent in quickly to destroy the wildly complicated network of tunnels that IS has been using for over two years to avoid air strikes from the US-led coalition.
The tunnels are often rigged with powerful explosives, set up as the enemy retreats further into the heart of the city.
Urban warfare - ugly, confusing and deadly - awaits the CTF and thousands of other Iraqi forces in Mosul.
Nobody thinks a genuine victory will be easy or bloodless.
Natasha Allen, 16, of Methven, Perth and Kinross, was last seen by her family at about 19:30 on Thursday.
She is 5ft 2in, of slim build, with long, brown hair with blonde roots and has a nose ring.
She was wearing a navy Fred Perry tracksuit top, white stonewashed jeans and turquoise trainers when she was last seen.

The female gray whale made a round trip of 22,500 km (14,000 miles) from the east coast of Russia to breeding grounds off Mexico and back.
The study, published in Biology Letters, raises questions about the whale's conservation status.
US and Russian biologists say a population living only on the western side of the Pacific may now be extinct.
Until now, it was believed there were two distinct groups of gray whale: the Eastern gray whale, found along the west coast of North America, and the critically-endangered Western gray whale, found along the coast of eastern Asia.
The finding that three of seven whales tagged off Russia crossed the North Pacific to breeding grounds off Mexico, suggests they may be part of the same population.
They include the female, named Varvara by scientists, who made the long migration.
"These whales were almost certainly born in Mexico (the eastern North Pacific)," said lead researcher Prof Bruce Mate of Oregon State University Marine Mammal Institute.
"If this small sample size is typical, it would suggest that [the two populations are one].
"However, a logical alternative might also suggest that there are still 'true' Western gray whales, but they are not as numerous as previously thought."
The gray whale is found mainly in shallow coastal waters of the North Pacific Ocean.
It was driven to the brink of extinction by whaling last century and while the Eastern population has recovered to around 20,000 animals, numbers of the Western gray remain very low with only around 180 individuals left, according to the International Whaling Commission.
The published research - and other evidence, including genetic fingerprinting and photo-identification - suggests the two populations are closely linked or the same.
This could mean that "true" Western gray whales are now extinct, and Eastern gray whales are moving further from their traditional breeding grounds, said the scientists.
Greg Donovan, head of science at the IWC - International Whaling Commission, said further work was underway by the IWC and IUCN to find out whether the historic Western population still exists.
Scientists at the IWC have raised concerns about the threat of oil exploration in eastern Russia to gray whales in the area.

Relatives say the cousins were raped by men from a neighbouring village in Badaun district late on Tuesday.
The girls, said to be 12 or 13, have been examined and medical reports are awaited. Five men have been detained.
Badaun gained notoriety last year after two girls were found hanged - relatives alleged rape and murder but authorities concluded they took their own lives.
The latest incident happened in Jareef Nagar, at least 50km (31 miles) away from Katra Sahadatgunj, where last May's incident took place.
The father of one of the girls lodged a complaint with police saying that five men living in a neighbouring village had gang-raped the two girls at gunpoint.
Senior police official Saumitra Yadav told BBC Hindi that the girls went missing when they had apparently gone out to relieve themselves as they had no toilet at home.
Last May two cousins were found hanged from a tree in the village of Katra Sahadatgunj.
At the time a local post-mortem examination confirmed multiple sexual assaults and death due to hanging.
But in August, federal investigators said new forensic tests had concluded the girls had not been sexually assaulted. Three men who had been arrested were freed in September.
Earlier this year the girls' families challenged the investigators' report in the district court, demanding further investigations in the case.
The incident happened at about 08:00 BST in Glentham, near Market Rasen, while the 14-year-old was walking to catch her school bus.
The suspect is described as white, around 5ft 8in tall, and of medium to plump build.
He was wearing a black and white mask and had cream coloured trousers.
Sgt Clive Farmer, from the local policing team, said while the incident had been "very distressing for the girl and her family, it is extremely rare".
He said officers would be maintaining a presence in the village and asked that anyone with information should contact the force.
The Labour councillor, who has been leader for five years, will step down on Thursday 10 September and a new leader will be appointed that day.
Mr Matheson said the "time is right" to "progress to the next phase in my career".
It is believed Mr Matheson wishes to stand as a candidate for next year's Scottish Parliament elections.
Mr Matheson stood as a candidate in the Scottish Labour deputy leadership contest but lost out to Fife MSP Alex Rowley when the results were announced on Saturday.
He said: "The decision I have announced today was made by me some weeks ago. By confirming the date, the process can begin to effect a smooth transition to a new leader in time for the next meeting of the full council.
"Being leader of the city I love has been the greatest honour of my life. It is not a job for the faint hearted, especially given the budget cuts we have had to contend with, but I would not have missed this experience for the world."
Mr Matheson, who was first elected to the city council in 1999, will remain as ward councillor for Anderston/City but will not stand again in the 2017 council elections.
Labour, which has had overall control of Glasgow City Council since 1980, had 45 of the city's 79 councillors at the last election in 2012.
However, the city of Glasgow voted in favour of independence at last year's referendum and Labour lost all its MPs in the city to the SNP at the general election in May.
This was not really a surprise. Mr Matheson had been making it clear for weeks that he was planning to step down after the Scottish Labour leadership election. The only question was exactly when.
Looking back, many will be surprised that he lasted as long as five years in the post.
If you think back to the 2012 council elections, a lot of people had almost written off Labour's chances of holding on to Glasgow City Council in those elections. So there was a great surprise, within the Labour party even, when Labour retained its overall majority on Glasgow City Council.
Before the 2012 elections, a lot of people imagined Councillor Matheson would be out as a leader after that but following that result it reinforced his position.
Mr Matheson's supporters would point to the successful delivery of the Commonwealth Games and the £1bn city deal but he has also been a divisive figure at times.
A plan for a radical redevelopment of George Square was abandoned amid some acrimony and he also survived an embarrassing incident when he was caught cheating on his partner.
Susan Aitken, the SNP group leader on the council, said that while there had been "disagreements over policy and strategy, no-one could doubt Gordon Matheson's commitment to Glasgow".
She said: "He worked in partnership with the Scottish government to deliver the best ever Commonwealth Games in the city and their legacy has the potential to benefit Glasgow for many years to come.
"He deserves our thanks for his years of public service and I and the members of the SNP group in the City Chambers wish him well in whatever he chooses to do in future."
Cavare, 22, was on trial with Huddersfield Town in pre-season and joins Barnsley for an undisclosed fee.
"This is a fantastic deal for the club and I am delighted have to secured his services," boss Paul Heckingbottom said.
"Everything I have seen of him has really impressed me."
Meanwhile, Heckingbottom, 40, told BBC Radio Sheffield that Ghana defender Andy Yiadom's move to Huddersfield Town is now off.
The Tykes boss had said Yiadom would not be considered for selection while he was "in limbo" but he could now be involved in Barnsley's game against Sheffield United on Saturday.

The Welsh Labour leader said left-leaning voters should side with his party to stop the Conservatives.
With three days to go, other parties are attack Labour's record in office.
Plaid said Labour had "managed decline" while the Lib Dems said Labour should be "ashamed" of its record on education.
The Conservatives said Mr Jones' record on the NHS showed Labour were "not up to the job" of governing Wales.
As the assembly election campaign enters its final week, Mr Jones used a speech in Wrexham - one of the Tories' target seats - to say Labour wanted to see an "confident, open, outward looking Wales".
He repeatedly attacked "the Tories, Plaid and UKIP", but made no mention of the Liberal Democrats. With polls suggesting that Labour will lose seats but remain the largest party, there has been some speculation that Mr Jones could seek to form a coalition with the Lib Dems after polling day.
Mr Jones is keen to get his campaign back on track after Labour was rocked by claims of anti-Semitism last week.
In Wrexham he said the outcome would be decided in Labour/Tory battleground seats such as the Vale of Clwyd and Gower.
Opponents claim that under 17 years of Labour-led governments since devolution, standards in public services in Wales are not good enough.
But Mr Jones returned to two main planks of his campaign: that Wales has avoided a junior doctors' strike and the impact of spending cuts imposed in Westminster.
"So, if you're thinking about voting Liberal, or Plaid, or Green in the seats where it is a straight fight between Labour and Tory - think about that risk," he said.
"Think about importing that kind of politics into the assembly. And lend us your vote in those constituencies to stop it."
Speaking on Sunday, Plaid leader Leanne Wood said: "After seventeen years of managed decline in our public services, the people of Wales have a once in a generation opportunity to deliver real change for our nation."
Welsh Lib Dem leader Kirsty Williams said a generation of children had been "left behind" under Labour.
She said: "Ministers say they took their eye off the ball, casually accepting that a generation of young people have been let down due to Labour complacency. They should be ashamed."
Andrew RT Davies, the leader of the Welsh Conservatives, said: "Labour's management of the NHS proves they're not up to the job.
"The election this Thursday presents voters with their best opportunity in nearly two decades to deliver new leadership for Wales, and secure a strong, properly-funded NHS backed up by a strong economy. With Labour only one seat from losing power, a new start for our NHS is within reach.
"The Welsh Conservatives are the only party to have made a manifesto commitment to safeguard the NHS budget and to increase spending on health services each and every year during the Assembly term."
About 40 people have been squatting in 16 Grosvenor Street. Leaseholders Quintain want them removed.
But a spokesperson for the squatters said many of them were "vulnerable".
At the High Court, Mr Justice Henderson adjourned the case until Wednesday while the group see if they have any defence under Human Rights legislation.
Property firm Quintain had asked the judge to grant them possession and order the squatters to leave.
Barrister Katie Helmore told the court the company had become concerned about the situation after a recent fire at the building and one of the squatters had been arrested on suspicion of possessing a firearm.
She opposed any adjournment and said the squatters had no defence to the application for possession.
But Jed Miller, 23, who represented the group said it was in the "interests of natural justice" to allow them time to seek legal advice as the occupants were "vulnerable" and some had physical and mental health problems.
The case will resume on Wednesday.
The footballer, 28, has been told he faces jail after being found guilty of sexual activity with a girl aged 15.
He had been playing for Sunderland until the start of his trial but was sacked after changing his pleas and admitting two charges on the first day.
"The club only became aware of the change of plea on the first day of the trial," it said in a statement.
"Had the club known that Mr Johnson intended to plead guilty to any of these charges, then his employment would have been terminated immediately."
Johnson had denied all four charges he faced up until the start of his trial. After admitting to two offences, he was found guilty on one count and cleared of the fourth.
However, the trial at Bradford Crown Court heard evidence that the club's chief executive, Margaret Byrne, met with Johnson and his barrister in May 2015 where he accepted he had kissed the girl and exchanged messages with her.
Johnson continued to play for the side despite those admissions, the court heard.
The player had been initially suspended by the club following his arrest in March 2015 but that was lifted two weeks later.
Following the end of the trial on Wednesday, Sunderland issued a statement which said Byrne was only "present during part of that meeting" in May 2015.
The Premier League club also denied they "knew all along that Mr Johnson was intending to change his plea just before trial to enable him to continue to play football for the club and that the club may also have been involved in tactical discussions about the plea".
The statement added: "This is utterly without foundation and is refuted in the strongest possible terms."
But the club "still has questions to answer", according to Claire Phillipson from support group Wearside Women In Need, who said Sunderland's statement was "disingenuous".
She told BBC Radio 5 live: "They knew at the very least he had kissed this child and had contact with her, that was the evidence he gave. He may have been lying but they need to clarify that.
"If Sunderland categorically say 'he told us he did not have contact with this child' then fine - but they haven't said that."
Fiona McFadden, 30, of Killough Gardens, Lurgan, admitted lying about the movements of her former partner.
Sean McVeigh was arrested in connection with the murder investigation. All charges against him were dropped by the Public Prosecution Service last July.
McFadden was convicted of perverting the course of justice.
Prison officer David Black, 52, was on his way to work at Maghaberry Prison when he was shot dead on 1 November 2012.
A prosecution barrister told Belfast Crown Court that police called to her home on 3 November 2012 while at an "early stage" of the murder investigation.
McFadden had told detectives that she had been 'trick or treating' for Halloween with Sean McVeigh and their daughter between 4pm and 9.30pm on 31 October 2012.
She was no longer in a relationship with Mr McVeigh at the time, the prosecutor said.
He said her false statement was not motivated by "anything other than loyalty".
"There is no evidence to suggest she has connections to or has sympathies with the terrorist organisation that carried out this murder," he said.
The prosecutor said the false information had no impact or influence on the outcome of the investigation, but he referred to the police time taken up by arresting and interviewing her.
A defence barrister said McFadden was an otherwise "entirely law-abiding young woman" whose involvement "arose more out of naivety rather than anything else".
The judge said he accepted her false account was a "misguided act of loyalty to the father of your child".
Giving her an 18-month sentence suspended for three years, he said her guilty plea reflected "an element of remorse".
Police said the 25-year-old was standing next to his parked car at Linlithgow Rugby Club when he was punched and repeatedly kicked.
The attack, which involved an "acne-scarred" man with two Boxer-style dogs, happened at about 23:00 on Saturday.
Police have issued a picture of a blue Ford Focus, which was similar to the one being driven by the attacker.
They said the victim was approached by the man from behind as he stood in the car park in the town's Mains Road.
He was punched, causing him to fall to the ground, then kicked numerous times.
Following the assault, the injured man made his way to Linlithgow town centre to get help.
The suspect was described as being white, in his 40s, about 5ft 10in tall, and of stocky build. He had short, dark hair and was clean-shaven with facial acne scarring.
He was said to speak with a local accent and was wearing a dark knitted-style hooded top with fleece lining and had two Boxer style dogs, one dark-coloured and the other pure white.
Det Con Jo McCall, of Police Scotland, said: "This was an extremely violent attack that left the man seriously injured and hospitalised with significant facial injuries.
"We are now appealing for anyone who was in the area at the time and remembers seeing anything suspicious, or the victim walking injured through Linlithgow, to contact police immediately."
Alec Ash is a writer and journalist in Beijing currently writing a book about young Chinese society. Here he discusses young people's historic role in Chinese protest movements.
Today is the 65th anniversary of when Mao Zedong officially founded the People's Republic of China on 1 October 1949.
There was pomp and circumstance at Tiananmen Square, although no big military parade as for the 60th anniversary.
Most ordinary Chinese are busier making plans for the seven days of holiday and spending that clog domestic tourist destinations, earning it the moniker "golden week".
The democracy protests engulfing Hong Kong have given this year's festival a very different flavour.
Tens of thousands of protestors, including students, are occupying central areas of Hong Kong to rail against Beijing's vetting of their election candidates, and to voice dissatisfaction with their current leader CY Leung.
China's central leaders now face the first sustained mass movement on Chinese soil with directly political aims since the Tiananmen protests in 1989.
Beijing's nerviness about what these protests might mean to mainland Chinese is evident in their tight control of the story.
State media reports are muted and carefully worded to emphasise "foreign intervention", while mentions of the protests online, such as on the micro blog Weibo, have been rigorously deleted - although the scale of the censorship itself shows that the news is out.
One reason why censors are wary of the movement being picked up on in the mainland is China's historical legacy of youth protest.
Although 4 June 1989 - the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre - gets higher billing, the first defining youth movement in modern China was on 4 May 1919.
Less than a decade after the Qing dynasty was overthrown by the Xinhai revolution of 1911, students at elite universities in Beijing saw the new Republic of China government as weak, especially in its response to the Treaty of Versailles at the end of World War One.
That afternoon, over 3,000 of them marched to Tiananmen Square to shout slogans. They also burnt the residence of an official they saw as culpable.
Their protest was co-opted into a broader "May Fourth Movement" (fused with a more intellectual cause to reject traditional Confucian culture) that called for radical political changes in China.
The mascots of the movement were "Mr Science" and "Mr Democracy". It was a cause for the young, led in thought by a pioneering magazine called New Youth, and many of the movement's leading lights were active in establishing the Communist Party of China.
As of 1949, 4 May has officially been Youth Day in China, and the Communist Party has appropriated its spirit for their own ends.
In the worst years of Mao Zedong's rule, revolutionary youth had a different meaning - Red Guards, destroying property and assaulting landlords in the name of Mao.
It was only after Mao's death in 1976 that youth protest in China had an anti-government element again, beginning with the "democracy wall" movement of 1978, and picking up momentum in the mid-1980s, until the Tiananmen Spring of 1989.
The student leadership which began the Tiananmen protests in April 1989 never directly called for an overthrow of the Communist Party, but rather for top leaders to step down, and for those more receptive to political reform to take over.
Despite splits within the party, those in power took a hard line against the occupation of Tiananmen Square, ultimately resulting in the bloody crackdown that killed several hundred demonstrators, many of them students.
For the post-Tiananmen generation of youth in China, known as the "post-80s" and "post-90s", such brazen political protest is out of sight and out of mind.
Engagement with politics is largely seen as pointless, or secondary to more daily and personal concerns.
Those who know the full story of the Tiananmen protests understand that dissent is dangerous, and many believe the crackdown was necessary to restore order and pave the way for economic growth - just as many want to see order restored quickly to Hong Kong.
The only place on Chinese soil where the memory of Tiananmen has been kept alive is Hong Kong, where candlelit services are still held every 4 June.
The scale of the current protests has invited comparisons, and the student involvement also rings bells.
Besides the Occupy movement, it was a student protest group called Scholarism led by 17-year-old Joshua Wong - who had earlier protested against pro-party patriotic education in Hong Kong public schools - that catalysed the occupation with a boycott of classes and a storming of government headquarters.
The protest led to Wong's arrest, although he was released on Sunday.
Occupiers in Hong Kong have local demands, not national, and there is little appetite or chance for a similar movement in mainland China. This is no Tiananmen yet.
But even if the legacy of youth protest in China, from 4 May to 4 June, is hard to find in the mainland unless you dig deep, this shows that the spirit of it is still alive in Hong Kong.
The app, which allows users to share mobile-phone photos with friends without posting them publicly, was launched in the US this week.
The Irish data regulator said that users must be given a choice about whether they want it, with an opt-in.
There is currently no timetable for such a feature, said Facebook.
Richard Allen, Facebook's head of policy in Europe said: "We don't have an opt-in mechanism so it is turned off until we develop one."
Moments arranges the photos on someone's mobile phone into groups, based on when they were taken. The facial recognition technology can identify Facebook friends to whom users can then forward the photos.
The social network is taking facial recognition very seriously and announced earlier this year that its DeepFace AI system was powerful enough to identify users with a 97.25% level of accuracy.
But the social network's use of the technology has not gone down well with European and Canadian regulators.
In 2010, Facebook rolled out facial recognition technology to identify people in photos but, two years later, it was forced to withdraw the technology from Europe, after Ireland's data protection commission highlighted privacy issues.
At the time, the privacy commissioner of Canada said: "Of significant privacy concern is the fact that Facebook has the ability to combine facial biometric data with extensive information about users, including biographic data, location data, and associations with friends."
The system, which is increasingly used by technology and other firms, is the subject of debate in the US too.
Recent talks between privacy organisations and government agencies aimed at creating a code of conduct around facial recognition technology broke down after they failed to reach agreement.
"At a base minimum, people should be able to walk down a public street without fear that companies they've never heard of are tracking their every movement - and identifying them by name - using facial recognition technology," the privacy groups said in a joint statement. "Unfortunately, we have been unable to obtain agreement even with that basic, specific premise."
Facebook faced other privacy questions this week when it was revealed that the Belgian data protection watchdog was taking it to court over claims that it tracks people's internet activity outside its site.
Since January, all children in Primaries 1, 2 and 3 have been entitled to a free school lunch.
As expected, in most places the number of children eating a school meal has increased significantly.
But some councils are disappointed the rise has not been even greater.
BBC Scotland asked Scotland's 32 councils how many Primary 1, 2 and 3 pupils were now taking advantage of free school meals and how this compared to the situation beforehand when most parents had to pay.
Not all councils were able to provide information publicly or give direct comparisons with previous years.
But the replies indicate that the take-up of free school dinners varies widely from area to area.
As a general rule, between seven and eight out of 10 pupils in Primaries 1, 2 and 3 are now taking a school dinner on a typical day.
One of the biggest increases was in Renfrewshire - 71% now take a school dinner compared to 36% a year ago.
Another big rise was in Falkirk, where 80% now take a school dinner compared to 54% last year.
North Ayrshire went up from 55% to 81%.
But some councils say they would like to see take-up increase even more.
In North Lanarkshire, the uptake is now 69% but the council says it hopes to drive this up to 75%.
Glasgow anticipated serving an extra 4,000 school meals a day - the actual rise is significantly lower than that at around 2,800.
The council says it will be looking at uptake in each school and will work with headteachers to ensure all parents and carers realise all P1-3 pupils are now entitled to a free meal.
Several pilot projects were run last year to try to see just what the extra demand would be. Schools and councils used them to try to work out whether extra staff, cutlery or kitchen equipment would be needed or whether to make practical changes such as extra sittings.
In Argyll and Bute the uptake is 77% - slightly higher than the pilots suggested.
There are a number of possible reasons why some children and parents are not taking up free school dinners.
For example, some children may have special nutritional requirements or be fussy eaters so go home on the days when the choices are unsuitable. School dinner menus are usually available in advance now.
Some parents may have misconceptions about school dinners based on their own experiences when they were younger.
And naturally some children might simply want to go home at lunchtime - especially if they live close to the school.
However, teachers will also be aware that if a child does not want to stay at school at lunchtime it could, in some cases, be a sign that they are unhappy at school or even being bullied.
Supporters of extending free school meals pointed to a number of potential advantages.
One argument is that a healthy lunch can help children perform better at school.
Another is that families on tight incomes, who were either ineligible for free school meals before or reluctant to claim them, could notice a real saving.
However, critics have warned of the risk that the scheme amounts to a "middle class benefit" and argue help should be targeted at those who need it the most.
Proving whether the policy actually improves children's health or school attainment will take many years.
Fourteen councils provided a comparison between the current figures and those from 2014.
A Scottish government spokesman said: "It is heartening to see uptake increasing around Scotland in the first months of the universal offer and this looks set to improve as parents and pupils become familiar with the new menus being served. The successful roll out of free school meals is a credit to schools and catering staff in councils around Scotland.
"Free school meals are saving eligible families at least £330 a year and universal availability for P1-3 will remove any possibility of free meals being a source of stigma during the first years of a child's schooling, as well as improving health and wellbeing, underlining our commitment to do all we can to support the development of our young people and tackle inequalities in our society."
The BBC's social affairs correspondent, Michael Buchanan, spent three months following Thames Reach staff as they try to help those homeless people who struggle with a range of psychological issues.
We meet in the dead of night in her former home - a bin chute at the bottom of a block of flats.
Donna Reader spent nearly a week amid the large metal containers - sleeping among rotting food and other smells.
"I'm used to it, it doesn't bother me, the smell," says Donna. She'd ended up here after becoming homeless - a chaotic life including long-standing drug addiction and schizophrenia causing her to sleep rough.
Her life was rescued by an outreach team who scour the streets of east London looking for homeless people with mental health problems.
Donna now has a bed in a hostel and attends a clinic every fortnight to receive her psychiatric medication.
"I live healthier now I'm not living on the streets. I wake up - I've got a toilet, I can have a cup of tea, go downstairs, talk to people. My mental health is better, more controlled. You can't make mental health go overnight."
The woman administering Donna's injection is Fatima Taylor, a psychiatric nurse.
She works for the homeless charity Thames Reach, part of an outreach team paid for by the local council, Tower Hamlets.
Nightly, they can be found on the streets of east London trying to identify, engage with, and support the increasing numbers of rough sleepers who have mental health problems.
Last year, official data showed there were at least 2,521 people sleeping on the streets of London who had identifiable psychiatric needs. In 2009-10 the figure was just over 700, according to the charity St Mungo's.
We travelled with the team as they went to meet a long-term rough sleeper who'd called for help.
The woman suffers from schizoaffective disorder and wanted her medication.
As Fatima approaches, a man with the homeless woman tries to pull her away. A small argument ensues, there is a scuffle, but Fatima manages to give the woman the pill. Fatima is shaken.
"It's extremely upsetting. It's a vulnerable situation for me as well because he could have turned on me. But then you have to try and do what you need to do to help people like this."
The team engage in a wide spectrum of outreach work - from initial, gentle contact through to detaining people under the Mental Health Act.
The rough sleepers are often suspicious and regularly refuse help. Persistence is the key, as we saw with the team's approach to a man who lives in a tent by a busy dual carriageway in the shadow of Canary Wharf.
They visit him up to three times a week. The first time we went along, he wouldn't talk to them.
Weeks later and he did engage - to forcefully tell them he didn't want their help. But the team saw his engagement as a small victory, a sign of progress.
Each evening can be a frustrating battle - but the team rarely lets that deter them.
They spent almost three months trying to talk to one man - CCTV pictures they'd seen suggested his behaviour had become erratic, talking to himself, shouting at strangers.
On the night he finally stopped to talk to them, Fatima concluded that he should be sectioned.
But by now it was after midnight, and no doctors could be found to assess him as required by law. So the man walked off.
"That's the nature of outreach, because it's so unpredictable when you can find somebody so chaotic, to get them into services."
On a separate evening, the team gather in Whitechapel and this time doctors are present. They're here to section a different man, someone with long-term psychiatric needs whose health has deteriorated once more.
He's been displaying erratic behaviour in recent weeks, including begging aggressively. A rough sleeper and habitual drug user, he has been sectioned several times before. He reacts calmly and departs for hospital.
But just two days later he's back on the streets. The psychiatric unit had discharged him - the outreach team say the NHS hadn't bothered to check if he had anywhere to sleep.
"They fall through the cracks all the time," says Fatima. "You try and get them [help] through A&E, [they say] it's a matter of substance misuse, drug induced psychosis, that it's nothing to do with their mental health."
Often however their psychiatric health is the problem - and without the determined effort of this innovative team, far more people would be forced to struggle alone.
Protesters used wire cutters and cranes to move shipping containers barricading the so-called red zone, which houses state buildings and foreign embassies.
They have encountered no resistance so far from security forces, who have been instructed to avoid violence.
The demonstrators want Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to resign.
Thousands of anti-government protesters have been occupying two Islamabad highways.
Imran Khan, the cricketer-turned-politician, has been leading one group of protesters since Friday.
He accuses Mr Sharif's PML-N party of vote-rigging in the 2013 election and has called on him to stand down.
Mr Sharif's party won that election by a landslide in what was Pakistan's first peaceful transfer of power between two civilian democratic governments.
Anti-government cleric Tahirul Qadri has also mobilised his supporters to march on Islamabad.
The government has accused the protesters of attempting to derail democracy. They have offered talks with the demonstrators, but these have been rejected.
The protesters are advancing at a snail's pace, and are not likely to reach the parliament until late in the night, the BBC's Ilyas Khan in Islamabad reports.
Thousands of policemen are deployed around the red zone, and appear to be equipped with riot gear and teargas shells, but not firearms, our correspondent adds.
The protesters chanted slogans as they breached the barriers to enter Islamabad's high security zone. The police offered no resistance, though they did steer the crowd through a single route instead of allowing them to spread out.
So tens of thousands of protesters are now set to occupy Constitution Avenue, which many believe will paralyse key state institutions, such as parliament, the Supreme Court and the federal ministries.
The unrest has seen the government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif put on the back foot; first it decided not to resist the protesters' convergence on Islamabad, and later conceded their demands of setting up protest camps where they wanted.
Now that they are inside the capital's "red zone", many fear the government's options to defuse the crisis may be shrinking.
Earlier on Tuesday, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar said: "The government has decided to hand over the security of the red zone of Islamabad to the army."
Some observers said the move could indicate that the government had the support of the military.
Supporters of Mr Khan and Mr Qadri are angry about Pakistan's poorly performing economy, growing militancy, and the government's failure to deliver services such as a steady electricity supply.
But other opposition figures have criticised the demonstrations and Mr Khan's call for people to stop paying tax bills in protest at the government.
In a country with a history of military coups, there is a fear of violence and of a possible army reaction, correspondents say.
On Monday MPs from Imran Khan's PTI party vowed to quit their national assembly seats.
The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf (PTI) party has 34 of the national assembly's 342 seats, making it the second-biggest opposition group. The lawmakers have yet to tender their formal resignations to the speaker of the national assembly.
The party said it would also resign from seats on provincial assemblies, except for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, which it governs.
The public accounts committee said much of the ??425m spent so far may have to be written-off due to poor management.
Mr Duncan Smith denies claims he tried to "lean on" members of the committee to place the blame on his top official.
Downing Street said the work and pensions secretary was "doing exactly the right thing" with the new scheme.
In a damning report, the Commons Public Accounts Committee said management supervision of universal credit had been "alarmingly weak".
The committee said the project - to merge six separate means-tested working age benefits into a single payment - had been beset by a string of problems and still faced considerable challenges if it was to achieve its long-term objectives.
initial estimates suggest at least ??140m, spent on IT systems which cannot be used, will have to be written off but the full losses could be much higher, and may take up much of the ??425m spent on the project to April 2013, the report says.
Labour sources on the committee have told BBC News there was a "concerted" effort by Conservative members to shift the blame from Mr Duncan Smith on to his permanent secretary Robert Devereux.
One source said there had been a number of extra meetings and discussions over amendments "pointing the finger" at Mr Devereux but the committee eventually rejected the criticisms of the official in the final text of the report.
These claims were categorically denied by Mr Duncan Smith's spokeswoman, who said: "Iain has not asked for anyone to be named in the report. He has publicly supported the Department for Work and Pensions permanent secretary throughout this whole process."
The committee's Labour chairman Margaret Hodge said she had not been approached by Mr Duncan Smith, but sidestepped questions about whether she was aware of pressure being put on Conservative colleagues.
Conservative MP Steve Barclay, a member of the committee, said he could "absolutely rebuff" the suggestion that Mr Duncan Smith had tried to influence the committee, which is meant to be non-partisan and impartial.
David Cameron's official spokesman was asked several times to confirm that the prime minister was "confident" that universal credit would be delivered on time and on budget, but did not do so.
Instead, he told reporters: "The department is working to the 2017 timetable. That is the timetable that the department continues to work to. That is the target the department is shooting for and we are going to continue to work towards it in the way we are."
The spokesman was asked whether it would be proper for a secretary of state to approach members of a select committee ahead of the publication of a report in the way alleged of Mr Duncan Smith.
He replied: "There are procedures that are in place for the relationship between departments and select committees and that is something the Department for Work and Pensions have been very clear about."
Asked if the prime minister was "completely happy" with Mr Duncan Smith's handling of the implementation of universal credit, Mr Cameron's spokesman said: "He thinks that the secretary of state and the department are doing exactly the right thing in rolling this out in a progressive way and in a way that allows us to learn lessons as we go.
"That is what is being done and he very much supports that."
Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude, who has oversight of Universal Credit as part of his civil service reform role, said it was a "very hard-hitting" and "useful" report which highlighted wider problems in Whitehall: "We are not that good at financial control... but also project management has been deficient for a long time."
Labour's shadow leader of the Commons, Angela Eagle, demanded an urgent statement from Mr Duncan Smith on the allegations that he tried to "lean on" members of the committee.
Ms Eagle described the PAC report as "devastating" and told the Commons: "It seems that the blame game for this costly fiasco has already started.
"This morning we learn of a wholly improper attempt to lean on members of an independent select committee of this House by Mr Duncan Smith and his parliamentary team to try to put the blame on the permanent secretary."
Commons Leader Andrew Lansley said he had spoken to Mr Duncan Smith and saw no need for him to come to the Commons to explain himself.
In its report, the select committee said control over suppliers in the Universal Credit had largely been absent, with multi-million pound orders sometimes being signed off by secretarial staff.
From the outset of the project in 2011, it said, senior civil servants had "failed to grasp the enormity" of the task they had been set by ministers, did not monitor progress adequately and had not intervened when issues arose.
A lack of day-to-day control meant that top officials only became aware of difficulties through "ad hoc reviews" and as problems mounted, those in charge of the scheme had become "isolated and defensive".
Committee chairman Margaret Hodge said: "The failure to develop a comprehensive plan has led to extensive delay and the waste of a yet to be determined amount of public money.
"Pressure to deliver a programme of this magnitude within such an ambitious timescale created a fortress culture where only good news was reported and problems were denied."
Howard Shiplee, who took over the running of the project in May, has admitted mistakes were made but said real progress was now happening and much of the existing IT systems could be used.
Responding to the committee's report, the Department for Work and Pensions said universal credit was a "vital" reform which would ultimately bring ??38bn in benefits to society by helping people into work and reducing fraud.
"This report doesn't take into account our new leadership team, or our progress on delivery," it said. "We have already taken comprehensive action including strengthening governance, supplier management and financial controls."
It said it did not accept "the write-off figure quoted by the committee" and expected it to be substantially less.
The cups are being tried out as part of organisers' efforts to reduce the amount of waste produced on the site.
Festival-goers will pay a deposit for one of the cups to use throughout the event before returning, donating or keeping it at the end of the weekend.
The cups were developed by Sheffield-based Glogg and made in Birmingham.
Festival organiser Michael Eavis: "For me, the single most important thing was being able to source British stainless steel for the cups from the place where it was invented - Sheffield, and then to take it on to the home of manufacturing - Birmingham.
"Week after week, there's a story in the national press about jobs in the UK steel industry being put at risk.
"There's seemingly no end to the negative slide of this critical industry, and if the jobs, skills and infrastructure are lost they won't be replaced.
"We've worked on this project over the last three years, which will hopefully encourage other UK businesses to think about how they can support our steel industry during these very challenging times."
The cups will be in use at 10 bars across the site, with customers paying a £5 deposit when they buy their first pint.
The festival's green initiatives and sustainability co-ordinator Lucy Smith said that at the end of the festival the deposit would either be refunded or donated to charity, depending on whether a cup is returned or kept.
However, she said she hoped that those revellers who chose to keep their cups would not let them gather dust.
She said: "Don't put it on a shelf and never use it again: the idea is that when they go to another event they take it with them and reuse it."

The Mumbai Mirror reported that a stewardess accidentally turned it off while the two pilots took a break.
Air India denied this but said cabin crew did "overstay" in the cockpit and that the autopilot was briefly disconnected "due to distraction".
The cabin crew and the pilot had been suspended pending an inquiry, it added.
The Mumbai Mirror reported on Friday that the incident took place on an Airbus 321 flying from Bangkok to Delhi on 12 April.
Citing an unnamed source in Air India, it said the two pilots had taken a 40-minute break from the cockpit and left two stewardesses in their seats to operate the plane in their absence.
One of the stewardesses accidentally turned off the auto-pilot, forcing the pilots to rush back to their seats, the report said.
However, in an email to the BBC, an Air India spokesman said: "It is categorically stated that at no point of time the cockpit was left unattended by the cockpit crew.
"Based on a report that two cabin crew members were in the cockpit for a prolonged period on the flight, the airline management... summoned the cockpit and cabin crew for an enquiry.
"As the enquiry confirmed the overstay of the cabin crew in the cockpit, administrative action was taken against them and the pilot. They have been suspended pending the final enquiry of the incident."
The spokesman said that "due to distraction the co-pilot touched the auto-pilot disconnect button momentarily". "But the same was connected back," he added.

The Spiders won the first-leg 3-1, and Clyde found the hope they were looking for with a Scott Linton penalty in the first half at Hampden.
The hosts played the better football, with teenage midfielder Liam Brown outstanding.
They were also helped by Clyde being reduced to 10 men with Michael Bolochoweckyj's second-half dismissal.
The task for Barry Ferguson's Clyde was clear enough, but their play initially seemed cluttered and heavy footed.
It might have been understandable that a two-goal lead from the first leg allowed Queen's Park to perform with a sense of freedom.
The home side were composed and slick in their passing, with so much of their play shaped and cajoled by the excellent Brown. The 17-year-old, whose jersey seemed several sizes too big but whose ability and assurance allowed him to command all of those around him, was irrepressible.
Gus MacPherson's side attacked with measured intent and created several scares in the Clyde penalty area. The visitors' tall, strong but occasionally plodding in their movement of the ball, were obliged to use their wits just to stay in the tie.
By not panicking, they found the means to assert themselves. When Steven Brisbane slung a cross into the Queen's Park penalty area, John Gemmell steered a header towards goal and the ball landed on the roof of the net.
And, from another Gemmell header, Ryan McGeever handled.
From the resulting penalty kick, Linton stroked the ball into the corner of the net. Queen's Park still had a goal lead in their favour, though, and they were not unnerved.
The second half began in the same manner as the first, with the home side playing with verve and confidence. Brisbane had to scoop the ball over almost from the goal-line after David Galt crossed for Paul Woods.
There was intricacy in the way that Vincent Berry, Brown and Woods all moved the ball around, but Clyde could be bluntly effective. Jordan Kirkpatrick saw a shot from distance saved, while substitute David Gormley's volley was tipped over by Queen's Park keeper William Muir.
In between those efforts, though, Bolochoweckyj was dismissed, receiving his second yellow card for a foul on Galt.
Clyde continued to be game, and sent Marvin Andrews on to play up front but they could not create another clear chance, and Queen's Park earned the result that took them up into the third tier after a seven-year absence.

Kathy Wiles, who was due to stand in the 2015 Westminster election, said she wanted to highlight the dangers of using children in political campaigns.
Her initial tweet was responding to a picture showing children at the demo wearing pro-independence T-shirts.
Ms Wiles has apologised and resigned as a candidate for the seat of Angus.
The Labour Party said it would swiftly get a replacement.
Ms Wiles posted the contentious Nazi picture in relation to a social media debate about a protest outside BBC Scotland on Sunday afternoon about the corporation's coverage of the independence referendum.
She was responding to a photo from the protest which showed children standing underneath a promotional banner for pro-"Yes" blog Wings Over Scotland.
Replies to the tweet likened the photo to the Hitler Youth, to which Ms Wiles responded with an image showing children gathered around a swastika.
Ms Wiles was criticised by the father of two of the children in the protest photograph. He tweeted: "How dare you compare my children to the Hitler youth, despicable."
Ms Wiles apologised through her Twitter page @KathyWforAngus on Tuesday morning, writing: "I tweeted a picture on Sunday which has caused offence for which I apologise unequivocally.
"My intention was to make a point about the dangers of using young children in political campaigns, not to make any inference about those in the photo."
She has since deleted her account.
Scottish Labour later confirmed it had accepted Ms Wiles's resignation as a parliamentary candidate.
A party spokesman said: "We believe that Kathy Wiles has taken the right decision to withdraw in Angus and we will move swiftly to get another candidate in place.

He had been indicted in connection with post-election ethnic violence in 2007-08, in which 1,200 people died.
Mr Kenyatta, who had denied the charges, said he felt "vindicated".
The prosecutor's office said the Kenyan government had refused to hand over evidence vital to the case.
Mr Kenyatta said he was "excited" and "relieved" at the dropping of charges.
"My conscience is absolutely clear," he said, adding that his case had been "rushed there without proper investigation".
Kenyan Foreign Minister Amina Mohamed said her government would try to have two other similar cases thrown out including one involving Deputy President William Ruto.
"As they say, one case down, two more to go," Mr Kenyatta said on Twitter.
On Wednesday, the ICC had given prosecutors a week to decide whether to pursue their case against Mr Kenyatta or withdraw charges.
Further delays in the case would be "contrary to the interests of justice", it had said.
On Friday, prosecutors said the evidence had "not improved to such an extent that Mr Kenyatta's alleged criminal responsibility can be proven beyond reasonable doubt".
The BBC's Anna Holligan in The Hague said the announcement was a huge blow to prosecutors.
Many observers had seen the case against Mr Kenyatta as the biggest test in the court's history, she says.
Mr Kenyatta was the first head of state to appear before the court, after he was charged in 2012.
The prosecution repeatedly asked for more time to build its case, saying witnesses had been bribed and intimidated, and the Kenyan government had refused to hand over documents vital to the case.
Human Rights Watch had accused the Kenyan government of acting as a roadblock and "impairing the search for truth".
Mr Kenyatta denied inciting ethnic violence following the disputed 2007 elections in order to secure victory for then-President Mwai Kibaki.
He has repeatedly accused the ICC of pursuing a political prosecution.
On Friday, he again criticised the legal process, saying: "The prosecutor opted to selectively pursue cases in a blatantly biased manner that served vested interests and undermined justice.
"As a result, the court has had to pay a steep reputational price, which it will continue to face unless a serious and systemic rethinking of the international justice framework is undertaken."
Mr Kenyatta won Kenya's presidential elections in 2013, with the backing of Mr Kibaki.
He used the ICC case against him to rally nationalist support by accusing the Dutch-based court of meddling in Kenya's affairs.
About 1,200 people were killed in the violence in 2007-8 and 600,000 were displaced.
Fergal Gaynor, a lawyer who represents victims of the violence, told the BBC's Foucs on Africa programme that there was a "widespread feeling of disappointment" at the dropping of the case against Mr Kenyatta.
He said there had been a "well-organised and systematic effort to undermine the ICC justice process and much of the blame for that can be laid with President Kenyatta's government".
Mr Gaynor said the victims had been "robbed" of justice and there was little legal recourse left.
"Frankly, this marks the end of the road," he said.
Uhuru Kenyatta
Mr Ruto is on trial at the ICC on similar charges after his legal team's efforts to have the case thrown out failed.
He and Mr Kenyatta were on opposing sides during the 2007 election, with Mr Ruto accused of fuelling violence to bolster opposition leader Raila Odinga's chances of becoming president. He denies the charges.
Mr Ruto subsequently formed an alliance with Mr Kenyatta in the 2013 election, opening the way for him to become deputy president.
Analysts say the dropping of charges against Mr Kenyatta while the case against Mr Ruto continues risks reopening a political rift and upsetting Kenya's delicate ethnic balance.
Mr Kenyatta said the deputy president faced his accusers "with a clear conscience".
Mr Ruto and another defendant, Joshua Sang, "have been steadfast in declaring their innocence", said Mr Kenyatta.
"I am confident that they will be vindicated in due course."
The two professors have been working together on a State of the Planet report, which has involved trawling through numerous reports and scientific papers. At the end of it all, the message of one appears somewhat optimistic, the other fundamentally pessimistic.
They agree that changes to the world since about 1950 have been startling - rapid spread of the human population, accelerating exploitation of forests and marine resources, surging economic growth in successive waves across the world, and so on.
This radical reshaping of the natural world by a single species is certainly unprecedented in Earth history, which a few years back led to scientists Paul Crutzen and Eugene Stoermer coining a special name for our epoch - the Anthropocene.
(The Planet under Pressure organisers have made an animated video of humanity's journey of expansion, by the way, which you can see here.)
If you accept the premise that we have entered the Anthropocene, one of the over-arching questions is "what happens now?"; another is "can we get out of it?"
Prof Liverman, who studies social aspects of global change at the University of Arizona, has the task of assessing the societal trends that either indicate we're heading further into Anthropocene territory or beginning to back out.
Since 2000, she says, some trends have begun to reverse - in particular human fertility, which has halved globally in the past few decades as women have had progressively more access to family planning and maternal health services. In time, this should see the global population stabilise.
There has been a change in food production too.
"In agriculture, the big idea used to be that we destroyed tropical forests [in order to raise food production]," she says.
"What we've seen is that is turning around in some parts of the world where people are growing more food without encroaching on forests - in countries such as Vietnam, the forests are starting to return."
The carbon intensity of industry has reduced too. Companies are finding ways of doing business that are more frugal with energy than before, and saving money in the process.
As a physical scientist, Prof Steffen's role is to see whether these changing human trends are reflected in the condition of the natural world - the oceans, the atmosphere, the land. Overwhelmingly not, he says.
"Over the last decade, with a couple of exceptions we cannot yet see any effect of these trends on the human side. CO2 emissions increased by a larger rate post-2000 than pre-2000 even though we're more efficient - it's just swamped by rising consumption."
The main exception is ozone depletion, which has been arrested, if not yet reversed, by the Montreal Protocol.
Other than that, we appear to be heading deeper and deeper into the Anthropocene. But what does that mean?
No-one really knows. The trends driving global change are unprecedented, so history can give only hints, not a full answer.
Computer models struggle to give precise answers even on single issues, such as climate change or the response of ocean ecosystems to temperature change.
There's a lot of talk about runaway effects. It's said, with some evidence to back it up, that warming and deforestation in the Amazon could combine to create feedbacks that destroy the forest, or that the Greenland ice sheet could begin to melt irreversibly.
Prof Steffen raises another possibility - that the Earth system will stabilise again, but under a different set of conditions, which would be a lot less suitable for the whole range of nature that we find today.
This conference, Planet Under Pressure, has assembled several thousand delegates from academia, business, campaign groups, and the occasional government representative.
It's designed to get people from science and the policy field together three months before the Rio+20 summit in June, to discuss where we are, where we might be going, and how the supertanker workings of our global society can be turned round, if that's what needs doing.
Much of what I've so far read and heard, though, seems very familiar:
Will one more conference, one more set of reports and - in June - one more global summit bring about these changes?
At the end of Monday's morning session, conference host Nisha Pillai asked the packed hall of delegates for a show of hands on this most basic question - will the changes that "we need" happen?
The noes outvoted the ayes.

Interior Minister Wolfgang Sobotka said the issue over an ineffective sealing mechanism could not be fixed in time for voting on 2 October.
The election will now take place on 4 December.
A re-run of May's vote was ordered after the far-right Freedom Party challenged the result.
The announcement comes after ineffective adhesive strips on envelopes, making them insecure, raised concerns about the validity of ballot papers.
Mr Sobotka said on Monday that he had no choice but to ask parliament to introduce a new law allowing the election to be postponed over the technical issue.
Under Austrian law, the rescheduling of a presidential election is subject to strict terms, such as the death of a candidate.
Former Green Party leader Alexander Van der Bellen, standing as an independent, and the Freedom Party's Norbert Hofer both said they had expected the election to be delayed.
The announcement could favour Mr Van der Bellen, whose left-leaning pro-European policies appeal to younger voters, with some 15-year-olds unable to vote in May able to cast their ballots in December.
Mr Van der Bellen beat Mr Hofer by just 31,000 votes among the 4.64 million cast in May's election.
But Austria's highest court annulled the result after a challenge from the Freedom Party, which claimed that postal votes had been illegally and improperly handled.
In two weeks of hearings, lawyers for the Freedom Party alleged that thousands of votes were opened earlier than permitted and counted by people unauthorised to do so.
The party also claimed that some under-16s and foreigners had been allowed to vote.
The court ruled that election rules had been broken in a way that could have influenced the result, although it said there was no proof that the count had been manipulated.

Ali has accepted an invitation to perform in December, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted.
The Shiv Sena had threatened to disrupt Ali's Mumbai concert on Friday.
The party said it would not allow any artiste from Pakistan to perform until the situation in Kashmir has improved.
India and Pakistan have recently accused each other of unprovoked firing along the disputed border.
A ceasefire agreed in 2003 remains in place, but the neighbours often accuse each other of violating it.
Mumbai is the the capital of western Maharashtra state, where the Hindu nationalist BJP rules in coalition with the Shiv Sena.
A recent assurance by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis that Ali was welcome to perform in Mumbai and that his government would give him "full protection" did not deter his ally from opposing the concert.
Soon after the concert was cancelled, a minister from Delhi's ruling Aam Aadmi Party said the Shiv Sena action insulted not only Ali, but also Indian ghazal singer Jagjit Singh.
Ali's concert was to be a tribute to Jagjit Singh on the event of his fourth death anniversary.
Ghulam Ali is popular in India and recently performed at a Hindu temple in the ancient city of Varanasi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also said he is a fan.
During the autumn breeding period, male deer roar, grunt and fight their rivals to impress potential mates.
The spectacle at Richmond Park in south-west London often draws crowds of camera-carrying nature lovers.
"The most I've seen is 60 photographers encircling a stag," said Adam Curtis, the park's assistant manager.
He explained that the photographers' behaviour in the deer mating season could "disturb natural selection".
"The stags or bucks try to keep groups of females in one place, which is physically exhausting," he said.
"If they are disturbed while trying to entertain their harem, the dominant stags don't get the opportunity to mate and when the females come into season at a later date, young bachelors mate with the females instead.
"This could affect the quality of the herd.
"If they mate later, the females could also give birth over a longer period of time, which means they would be more vulnerable for longer," he said.
Richmond Park has the "most photographed deer in the world," said Mr Curtis.
Typically, he sees "20 to 30 people crowding around a deer" on a daily basis during mating season, with more at weekends.
He warned that people and their dogs risk serious injury if they get too close.
"This year, a deer caught sight of its own reflection in a car and head-butted it, thinking it was another deer," Mr Curtis said.
"It must have been scary for the person inside."
The Blades would have secured a top-two finish with a victory over the Sky Blues if Fleetwood had lost at Oxford.
However, Fleetwood's 3-1 win means the Blades still need three more points and Chris Wilder's side will go up if they win at Northampton Town on Saturday.
Leon Clarke and John Fleck, both former Coventry players, scored to send their old club closer to relegation.
Three days on from winning the Checkatrade Trophy at Wembley, Coventry could not extend their three-game winning run in all competitions and they will drop into the fourth tier for the first time since 1959 if they lose at home to Peterborough on Saturday.
Striker Clarke turned in Fleck's cross to open the scoring with 20 minutes remaining, and midfielder Fleck's solo effort made the game safe.
Wilder will return to Northampton, the club he left to take charge of Sheffield United in May 2016, for the first time on Saturday and an away win will be enough for the Blades end their six-year absence from the second tier.

The Norfolk County Council department, rated as inadequate by Ofsted, has been criticised by foster parents over claims it wrongly removed children.
The disciplinary action was revealed by the BBC in March but the authority did not disclose the reasons for it.
The council said it had set up an independent review to look into children's services.
After a BBC Freedom of Information request, the county council provided a breakdown.
Three were disciplined for fraud, 10 for inappropriate conduct and behaviour, one for breach of trust and confidence, two for data protection breaches and three for conflict of interest.
Of those suspended, three were dismissed, four left the authority voluntarily, six were disciplined, five faced no further action and one case is still being investigated.
The three dismissals were for a data protection breach, inappropriate conduct and for conflict of interest.
The Freedom of Information request also showed why nine agency workers were asked to leave by the council over the last two years.
Two were due to attendance issues, three due to their behaviour and four for performance problems.
Interim director Sheila Lock, who took over in August 2013, told the BBC in March there was something "fundamentally wrong" with the department.
An independent review is under way, led by Ian Parker, a former Middlesbrough Council chief executive.
The council, which employs about 675 front-line care staff and has about 1,000 children in care, has been under fire over its treatment of foster carers.
Ms Lock said in March: "We didn't get into this place without things being fundamentally wrong. Some of that is leadership and discipline.
"Over the last 18 months we have really had to drill down to people that they have individual responsibility and service accountability to get it right."
Ms Lock said she was keen not to get into a "culture of blame" and then find you "can't recruit people".
David Wilson, 49, was found dead at an address in the city's Southwick Road just after 11:00 GMT on 14 December.
At the time, police said Mr Wilson had been the victim of a "violent attack".
Daniel Johnson, 20, formerly of Morris Street, Gateshead, was charged with murder more than 18 months after Mr Wilson's body was found. He denied the charge at Newcastle Crown Court.
Mr Johnson, who has been remanded in custody, is due to appear at Sheffield Crown Court on 28 February and a trial has been listed for 7 June.
It has gone on a multi-billion dollar spending spree in recent years, snapping up dozens of businesses as well as major stakes in Deutsche Bank, hotel chain Hilton and skyscrapers in London.
The Chinese conglomerate now employs more than 400,000 people worldwide and has ambitions to grow even more.
HNA chief executive Adam Tan told the BBC it had "full confidence" in its approach, despite threats of tighter spending controls on Chinese businesses and the prospect of Brexit in the UK.
The company's strategy involves buying businesses all along the supply chain.
That means when you travel, for example, your luggage might be handled by one of its firms, you could eat aeroplane food from its catering group Gate Gourmet, or stay in one of its hotels.
"That's our business, from the airlines business, airport business, shopping business and travel agent business," Mr Tan says.
As well as the travel industry, HNA also has a sprawling property portfolio.
One of its major deals last year was to acquire two large buildings in London's Canary Wharf.
That deal was shortly before the Brexit vote, but Mr Tan says he continues to see strengths in the UK economy.
"Before I bought the two buildings in Canary Wharf, we had full confidence in London and the UK.
"I've still got huge confidence. The UK inside the EU or outside the EU, [the] UK is [the] UK," he says.
HNA, which is led by Chinese billionaire Chen Feng, was founded in 1993 and made its name in shipping and aviation.
It has achieved its breakneck growth without the help of Chinese government money, Mr Tan says.
For that reason, he is sanguine about plans by Beijing to tighten restrictions on Chinese businesses spending money abroad.
He says HNA will still get support from Chinese banks, and can count on international banks as well because of its large presence outside of China.
With the support of banks such as JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs, it can continue to fund its future growth, he says.
"We don't feel so much pressure on that," he adds.
They have achieved it despite not winning the Premier League since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.
In the interim, United have twice failed to qualify for the Champions League and have sacked managers David Moyes and Louis van Gaal.
Deloitte says the Red Devils' financial status is due to "phenomenal commercial growth". But how have they done it?
United midfielder Paul Pogba's new emoji attracted much attention during last week's Premier League game against Liverpool.
But had fans kept watching the LED advertising displays around Old Trafford, they would have seen something else.
Among the global sponsors being rotated - including Nissin, United's official global noodle partner - was one for Logan, a feature film due to be released in February in Europe and March in the United States.
It meant the film was advertised to a global audience which, for a game as big as Sunday's, could have been about 800 million - in the USA alone it was watched by a peak of 1.82 million. It helps explain the attraction of United to 20th Century Fox - one of the club's 26 'global partners'.
Such exposure is why Mlily, a company based in Shanghai, agreed a five-year deal to be United's official mattress and pillow partner in October 2016. Three years earlier, Japanese company Kansai become the club's official paint partner.
In the summer of 2015, United began a 10-year, £750m partnership with sportswear giant Adidas to supply their playing and training kits, and also distribute other dual-branded merchandise.
Adidas replaced Nike, who had paid United £305m over 13 years.
But the deals were not the same. Crucially, United have taken back responsibility for the Old Trafford megastore and given themselves the freedom to negotiate other clothing deals for items bearing the club badge alone.
Because of that, they have been able to do deals with New Era for caps, Heroes for shoes and Columbia for outdoor wear.
In 2015, United generated £31.6m in retail income, £25.4m of which was a guaranteed sum from Nike, the remainder a profit-share deal with the American sportswear giant.
In the club's 2016 accounts, which covered the first 11 months of the Adidas contract, the retail figure rose to £97.3m, £72.4m of which came direct from Adidas.
United do not make public the amount paid by smaller global partners, and it is possible there could be additional profit-share payments from Adidas included, but of the remaining £24.9m, a substantial percentage has been achieved through the additional commercial opportunities the new deal has presented.
Were United's commercial department a football club, it would be ninth in the Deloitte list, having generated £272.1m in 2016, more than Juventus, Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid.
Commercially, their closest challengers are Bayern Munich, who made £256.2m, while Paris St-Germain (£228.3m) and Barcelona (£221.4m) were the only other clubs to generate in excess of £200m. Manchester City (£178.7m) are the next best English team, with Premier League leaders Chelsea bringing in £122m.
Much of the credit for these figures goes to United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, who was largely responsible for pushing through the controversial Glazer family takeover in 2005.
Over the past 10 days, he has also sold midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin to Everton and winger Memphis Depay to Lyon for deals that could net United £45m in transfer fees.
United divide their sponsors into global and regional partners. They also have media and financial partners, prepared to pay for the club crest to be associated with their products.
As of 20 January, United had 25 global partners listed on their website.
Of the 11 regional partners, they have drinks sponsors in China, Taiwan, Nigeria and Indonesia, in addition to a pharmaceutical partner for Korea and Vietnam.
United have 14 financial services partners across 21 countries as diverse as Mexico, Uganda and Serbia.
Thirteen media partners cover 15 countries, plus the whole of the Caribbean.
United have risen to the top of the rich list because of "their ability to do commercial contracts way in excess of their peers".
That is the verdict of Deloitte's Tim Bridge, who told the BBC: "We are talking about shirt sponsorship, kit supplier, LED advertising around the stadium. In the case of Manchester United we are talking about partners for paint and taxi companies and other, rather obscure, commercial partners that other clubs don't have the ability to sign contracts with.
"Ultimately, though it will result in a more competitive commercial market in future because other clubs can use United as the precedent."
Collins made amends after missing two good chances to leave Pools with only one win from their past eight League Two matches.
Pools had an early let-off in front of a crowd of 4,266 - Crawley's best of the season - when Collins set up Billy Clifford but he failed to test goalkeeper Adam Bartlett from the edge of the area.
Bartlett came to his side's rescue when he blocked a goal-bound shot from Dean Cox after Josh Laurent had given the ball away.
Crawley appealed in vain for offside when Sean Kavanagh had a shot turned around the post by goalkeeper Glenn Morris.
Pools improved as the half wore on but Crawley created more chances and midfielder Josh Payne shot wide 10 minutes before the break.
Former Shrewsbury striker Collins rose highest to break the deadlock after 62 minutes, heading in a Cox cross.
Pools seldom threatened an equaliser and visiting keeper Bartlett denied Crawley a second when saving from substitute Bobson Bawling late on.

Wedgbury, 28, came on as a substitute in Forest Green's 3-1 win over Tranmere in the National League promotion final.
He started his career at Worcester City and has also played for Macclesfield Town, Stevenage and Sheffield United.
"He's a fit lad, goes box to box, sits in there to break things up and he's a good size," Wrexham manager Dean Keates said.
Wedgbury is Wrexham's fifth summer signing, with James Hurst, Shaun Pearson, James Jennings and Chris Holroyd having already joined.
Olmert had been sentenced to six years by a lower court in 2014, but this was reduced by the Supreme Court.
The 70-year-old was convicted over a property deal that took place while he served as mayor of Jerusalem, prior to becoming prime minister in 2006.
Olmert, who stepped down in 2009, will become the first former Israeli head of government to go to prison.
He is due to begin serving his sentence on 15 February.
The Supreme Court acquitted Olmert of receiving a 500,000-shekel ($130,000; £86,000) bribe from the developers of Holyland, a controversial block of flats in Jerusalem, after he appealed against the March 2014 conviction.
A separate conviction of illicitly taking a 60,000-shekel payment for another project was upheld. The charge related to the development of land outside Tel Aviv owned by the Hazera company, Haaretz newspaper reported.
"A heavy weight was lifted from my chest today, when the Supreme Court exonerated me of the main charge, of Holyland," Olmert said following the ruling.
"No bribe was ever offered to me and I never accepted one."
Several other government officials and businesspeople were convicted alongside Olmert in 2014.
The judge at the time said he was guilty of "moral turpitude".
In a separate case, Olmert was sentenced earlier this year to eight months in prison for fraud and breach of trust for accepting illegal payments from an American businessman.
The Supreme Court is yet to rule on Olmert's appeal in that case.
Rates have fallen by 3.5% in the two weeks since 24 June, said Tom McPhail, head of retirement policy at Hargreaves Lansdown.
Before the vote, a 65 year-old with savings of £100,000 would have been able to buy an annual income of £5,069.
Now the value of that pension has dropped to £4,890, a new record low.
Experts had predicted just such a development before the referendum, yet a majority of people over the age of 60 voted to leave the European Union.
"Annuity rates are disappearing off the bottom of the chart," said Mr McPhail.
"Just 6 months ago a 60 year old could get a better deal than the terms now being offered to a 65 year old. Even though rates are now at historic lows, there is no certainty whether or when rates will go back up again."
Annuity rates have been falling for many years, as life expectancy increases.
However the drop has been exacerbated by falling bond yields in the two weeks since the vote.
Nevertheless, Mr McPhail advised anyone thinking about buying an annuity not to wait for any upturn in rates.
"So if the question is, 'should I buy an annuity today?', then the answer is don't delay doing so just because today's rates are lower than in the past."

Mr Sirisena was elected with 51.28% of the vote compared with Mr Rajapakse's 47.58%.
The former health minister, who united a fractured opposition to pull off an unlikely victory, promised sweeping reforms of the presidency and said he would transfer many of its executive powers to parliament.
He was elected on a tide of resentment against Mr Rajapakse, who rewrote the constitution after his re-election in 2010 to remove the two-term limit on the presidency and give himself more powers over public servants and judges.
Mr Rajapakse enjoyed huge support among majority Sinhalese voters after overseeing the end of a separatist war by ethnic Tamil rebels in 2009.
But critics say he failed to bring about reconciliation in the years that followed his crushing victory over the Tamil Tiger guerrillas.
Mr Sirisena's decision to run triggered a slew of defections and became a rallying point for disaffection with Mr Rajapakse and his powerful family.
Like Mr Rajapaksa, Mr Sirisena is from the majority Sinhala Buddhist community, but he has reached out to ethnic minority Tamils and Muslims and has the support of several small parties.
He was set to lead a motley coalition of ethnic, religious, Marxist and centre-right parties, which analysts said could hamper economic reform and encourage populist policies.
The new project, called Circular Ocean, will see ideas shared online on what to do with millions of tonnes of plastic.
Marine litter is already used in the making of socks, rucksacks, skateboards and sunglasses.
The Environmental Research Institute (ERI) of the North Highland College UHI is heading up Circular Ocean.
It is working with organisations in Ireland and England, as well as the Arctic Technology Centre in Greenland and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
The project will focus on the recycling of waste from some of Europe's remotest coastlines.
Dr Neil James, of ERI, said "Virtually all plastic ever produced is still with us today, with more entering the seas each year to the detriment of fish, birds, turtles and marine mammals.
"If we utilise this so-called waste material for a new purpose we reduce the amount of new plastic created, reduce marine pollution, and encourage new green enterprises.
"Our aim in Circular Ocean is to facilitate this in the northern Europe and Arctic region."
David McNally quit Norwich City shortly before their relegation from the Premier League in May.
His departure was confirmed two days after he announced he was leaving on Twitter, before deleting the message.
The accounts show McNally was paid the money as "compensation for loss of office".
The Championship club - among the favourites for a return to the Premier League - made a post-tax profit of £9.4m, with an income of £100.6m, the newly-published accounts show.
Norwich City chairman Ed Balls, the ex-Labour shadow chancellor, said: "These figures once again underline the huge gap in revenue between the Championship and the Premier League."
News of McNally's departure first emerged after the Canaries were beaten by Manchester United on 7 May.
Replying to a fan calling for this departure, he tweeted: "I understand your view. I've resigned tonight and I hope the club can now progress."
The club confirmed his departure on 9 May.
The defender did not travel to Dortmund for Wednesday's friendly with Germany, instead going for scans and X-rays.
Jones, 25, was injured in an innocuous training ground tackle at St George's Park, with reports claiming it involved United team-mate Chris Smalling.
England manager Gareth Southgate did not reveal whether that was the case.
If the injury turns out to be a break and keeps Jones on the sidelines for a lengthy spell, it will cause a selection concern for United manager Jose Mourinho as they prepare for nine games in April.
Southgate said: "I don't know who it was with. It was just a nothing sort of thing really. It is very unfortunate for him and a huge disappointment as he has been playing very well and has had some injury difficulties in the past.
"We have respectfully sent him back to his club and we will know more once he has had scans and x-rays over the next 24-48 hours."
Southgate has no plans to call up a replacement as yet, but will "assess his options" after Wednesday's friendly in Germany, the FA said.
England play a World Cup qualifier at home to Lithuania on Sunday, for which Chelsea's Gary Cahill is suspended.
Southgate's other options at centre-back are Smalling, Manchester City's John Stones and Burnley's uncapped Michael Keane.
On Sunday, West Ham winger Michail Antonio withdrew from the England squad with a hamstring injury.
England squad:
Goalkeepers: Fraser Forster (Southampton), Joe Hart (Torino, on loan from Man City), Tom Heaton (Burnley).
Defenders: Ryan Bertrand (Southampton), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Nathaniel Clyne (Liverpool), Michael Keane (Burnley), Luke Shaw (Man Utd), Chris Smalling (Man Utd), John Stones (Man City), Kyle Walker (Tottenham).
Midfielders: Dele Alli (Tottenham), Ross Barkley (Everton), Eric Dier (Tottenham), Adam Lallana (Liverpool), Jesse Lingard (Man Utd), Jake Livermore (West Brom), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal), Nathan Redmond (Southampton), Raheem Sterling (Man City), James Ward-Prowse (Southampton).
Strikers: Jermain Defoe (Sunderland), Marcus Rashford (Man Utd), Jamie Vardy (Leicester).
A study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, suggested that between three and six small glasses of wine a week was linked to a 15% increase in risk.
The study, which followed 105,986 people for nearly 28 years, said the increase was "small".
Experts said cutting down on alcohol could reduce the risk of breast cancer.
Other studies have linked the effect of drinking alcohol to breast cancer, but the authors of this study argued that the effect of low-level drinking had not been fully explored.
In women who never consumed alcohol, there were 281 breast cancers per 100,000 women per year.
That increased to 333 cancers for people drinking between three and six glasses of wine per week. There was a much greater increase, to 413, for those consuming more than 19 glasses.
One of the researchers Dr Wendy Chen said: "We did find an increased risk at low levels of use, but the risk was quite small.
"Although the exact mechanism for the association between alcohol consumption and breast cancer is not known, one probable explanation would involve alcohol's effects on circulating oestrogen levels."
Breakthrough Breast Cancer's Dr Rachel Greig said: "This study adds weight to what we already know; regularly drinking alcohol can increase your risk of developing breast cancer.
"We do know that limiting your alcohol intake can decrease your risk of developing the disease, as can maintaining a healthy weight, and being physically active."
Sarah Williams, health information officer at Cancer Research UK, said: "This study adds to already strong evidence that drinking even small amounts of alcohol increases the risk of breast cancer.
"Cutting down on alcohol can reduce the chance of developing breast cancer - as can keeping a healthy weight and being physically active.
"A healthy lifestyle isn't a guarantee against cancer but it helps stack the odds in our favour."

Ward and Lee alternated 10m platform and 3m springboard routines to score a combined 353.85 points from six dives.
Russia's Nadezhda Bazhina and Viktor Minibaev claimed gold (413.30) ahead of Ukrainians Iuliia Prokopchuk and Oleksandr Gorshkovozov (396.40).
"That was incredible," Ward told BBC Sport.
"Having the crowd here supporting in my home pool was a real help and it's a great beginning to what will be a busy competition."
Lee, who performed two 3m dives and one from 10m, added: "I'm not a springboard diver and I only learnt the two dives I did earlier this week, but it's a really good start to the competition."
Ward, who dived twice from 10m and once from 3m, has been in impressive form this year, securing Britain a second 10m platform berth for the Rio 2016 Olympics via the Rio test event in February.
Lee won individual 10m platform gold at the inaugural 2015 European Games in Baku.
Both will compete in their individual 10m platform events later in the competition and will pair up again for the mixed synchronised 10m platform event on Saturday.
Women's 10m platform pair Tonia Couch and Lois Toulson will bid for European honours on Tuesday at the London 2012 Olympic venue.
Olympians Olivia Federici and Katie Clark will compete in the free duet preliminary round.
China's State Administration for Industry and Commerce - the body responsible for enforcing business laws - said it was looking into "alleged monopoly actions" by the company.
The announcement came after officials from the regulator visited some of Microsoft's local offices.
The company said it "will address any concerns the government may have".
It has not yet been accused of any specific wrongdoing.
Any potential investigation in China would be a fresh setback for Microsoft in the country, a key growth market for global technology firms.
Earlier this year, China said it would ban government use of Windows 8, Microsoft's latest operating system.
The visits to Microsoft offices come just days after the China's anti-trust regulator said that Qualcomm, one of the world's biggest mobile chipmakers, had used monopoly power in setting its licensing fees.
The anti-trust case has already seen some local handset makers hold back on signing licences for Qualcomm products, hitting its revenues.
Another technology firm, Interdigital - which specialises in wireless technology - has also faced a similar investigation.
Chinese regulators suspended that investigation earlier this year after Interdigital agreed to change its pricing structure.
However, some have alleged that China is using anti-trust probes to protect domestic firms.
"It has become increasingly clear that the Chinese government has seized on using the [anti-monopoly] law to promote Chinese producer welfare, and to advance industrial policies that nurture domestic enterprises," the US Chamber of Commerce said earlier this year.
Keen's side are bottom of League One, having leaked 55 league goals.
"We need to make sure defensively we are tighter and at the same time express ourselves," he told BBC Essex.
"If it means we lose a fraction going forward that might have to be so. The only priority is to win against Southend, Gillingham, then Oldham."
The U's take on a Shrimpers side who are just one place outside the play-off places having won promotion from League Two last season.
Southend boss Phil Brown, who takes charge of his first Essex derby match, said: "We're preparing for this game the same as any other game.
"The importance of it is the fact that we're knocking at the door of the play-offs and they're bottom of the league, and they'll be smarting from that.
"It's a massive game for both clubs - it's a local derby and we just want to give it our best shot."
Keen took his first permanent role in management by replacing Tony Humes at the Weston Homes Community Stadium on Monday after leaving his post as Reading assistant manager earlier in December.
"It's a fantastic game to come in to," added the former Stoke player. "I went to Southend on Friday and was really impressed with them, in the first half especially.
"It's a great challenge for the players and myself to get our teeth into.
"And I think it's tremendous there will be a full house and I hope the Colchester fans get behind the team because we're currently sitting bottom of the league.
"It's time for the true supporter to stand up and say 'come on, we're behind you, let's get going'."
A report into HMP Dovegate also found high levels of violence, insufficient staffing, unjustified segregation and poor visiting arrangements.
It was, though, praised for good living conditions and resettlement work.
The Category B jail houses about 1,060 male prisoners and is run by the private firm Serco.
Chief Inspector of Prisons, Nick Hardwick said the jail's performance "had dipped" since its last inspection in 2013 under a new management team.
The report said there had been an influx of prisoners convicted of serious violent offences, and a large number of men who had to be separated from the rest for safety reasons, including gang affiliations.
The use of force by staff was higher than average, attendance at activities was poor, and skills provision was inconsistent.
Mr Hardwick said Dovegate had struggled to respond to the "destabilising impact" of new psychoactive substances.
"There remains much to do," he said.
Michael Spurr, from the National Offender Management Service, said: "The prison is working hard to tackle violence, and is working with Ofsted to improve education outcomes for prisoners."
HMP Dovegate houses a 200-bed therapeutic unit, which is subject to a separate inspection report.
The 25 and 27-year-olds were attacked as they headed home on Castle Brae at about 02:00 on Sunday.
Police have appealed for witnesses to the incident and have been trying to trace two other men.
One was described as being 5ft 11in tall and having dark hair and the other 5ft 9in and light brown hair. Both had stocky builds and aged in their 20s.
The first man was wearing a blue shirt, jeans and Adidas trainers, and the second had on jeans, a red, orange or maroon jacket with a goggles-shaped motif on the hood.
Insp Jamie Wilson, of Police Scotland's Sutherland and Easter Ross community policing team, said: "We are still trying to establish the full facts, but I believe that a number of people would have seen what happened.
"These were particularly nasty assaults and I am appealing for anyone who can assist our investigation to contact us as soon as possible.
"We are especially keen to hear from anyone who may have seen a group of individuals fighting or heard a disturbance."
Sattelmaier played 21 games for Stuttgart Kickers in the German third tier last season.
The 28-year-old has previously played for Regensburg, Heidenheim, and Bayern Munich's second team.
He is the second goalkeeper to join Bradford this summer, after Colin Doyle was signed from Blackpool for £1.

It happened on the A20 Eglantine Lane in Farningham, near Dartford in Kent, at about 01:20 BST.
The two victims, aged in their 20s, died at the scene, South East Coast Ambulance Service said.
Police have appealed for anyone who saw a black Vauxhall Insignia with a 61 registration being driven on the A20 towards Swanley, to contact them.
A blue Citroen Berlingo van and a white VW Polo were also involved in the collision.
Sgt Glyn Walker, of Kent Police, said the two men who died were in the same vehicle.
He said there had been no arrests, but "one of those injured will be the subject of our enquiries".
The road was closed in both directions for more than 11 hours while an investigation was carried out.
Michael Shenton gave England the lead after being set up by Daryl Clark's first touch of the game, before Isaac Liu barged himself over for Samoa.
Daniel Vidot put the Islanders ahead after scoring in the corner, but Kallum Watkins restored England's advantage.
Wigan's Liam Farrell and Joel Tomkins and brother Sam all added tries for England in a free-scoring second half.
Two Pita Godinet tries and an Antonio Winterstein score were not enough for Samoa.
Steve McNamara's men will be relieved to achieve victory in the first match of the tournament at the Suncorp Stadium, before going on to face world champions Australia and New Zealand, who inflicted a shock defeat on the Kangaroos in Saturday's other match.
The former Bradford Bulls boss will be pleased at his side's kicking game, especially the performances of halves Gareth Widdop and Matty Smith, but will be concerned at the number of errors overall.
The encounter was England's first Test since their agonising 20-18 defeat against New Zealand in last year's World Cup semi-final.
Captain Kevin Sinfield has since retired and debuts were given to Smith, Josh Hodgson, Joe Westerman and Super League Man of Steel Clark.
England's defence stood firm in the first few minutes following early pressure but when they did manage to gain possession, McNamara's men were sloppy, not completing their sets and making poor decisions.
After a scoreless 20 minutes, Clark was sent on to the field and with his first touch for the national side, created the opening try of the game.
The hooker found space at the ruck area and evaded the attention of the Samoan defence before finding Castleford team-mate Shenton who had a clear run to the line. Widdop added the conversion.
Minutes later, the Samoans restored parity through Liu, as the big prop collected the ball through the middle and bundled over between the posts.
Having been behind, the Pacific Islanders took the lead with some smart play, offloading the ball to the right wing where Vidot dived over to score.
The tries began to come more freely after a quiet opening period. England worked the ball with quick hands for the first time and drew the Samoan defence in, as Leeds man Watkins touched down on the right-hand side.
Widdop added the two points as well as a penalty to give England a 14-10 half-time lead.
They extended their lead in the second half with crisp passing, as the new half-back pairing of Widdop and Smith combined to find Farrell who crossed for his first England try.
Matt Parish's Samoan side would not go away though and in fact went ahead in the contest.
Wakefield halfback Godinet embarrassed the England defence twice in the space of seven minutes, bamboozling his markers with dummies to touch down.
However, the see-saw clash went England's way again when Joel Tomkins collected Shenton's knock-down for his first try, while brother Sam took advantage of a dropped ball from full-back Tim Simona to put his side 32-22 in front.
The Samoans came again through Winterstein's effort in the left corner, but despite late pressure, England held on for the win.

Sales increased by 18.6% to a seasonally adjusted annual sales rate of 504,000 - the highest level since May 2008, according to the Commerce Department.
However, the S&P/Case-Shiller index, also released on Tuesday, found house price increases slowed in April.
Economists had expected bigger rises.
On a seasonally-adjusted basis, the home price index, covering 20 major US cities, rose 0.2% in April, and by 10.8% on an annual basis.
"Although home prices rose in April, the annual gains weakened. Overall, prices are rising month-to-month but at a slower rate," said David M. Blitzer, chairman of the Index Committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices.
A combination of higher mortgage rates and a surge in prices due to a lack of properties available for sale have weighed on the US housing market since the second half of 2013.
However, recent data suggests the housing market is beginning to improve again.
Referring to the new homes figure, Cooper Hawes from Barclays Research said in an analyst note:
"This is the strongest level since the end of the recession and is an encouraging sign that housing activity improved in the second quarter."
A report on Monday showed sales of previously owned homes, the largest part of the US housing market, recorded their largest increase in more than three-and-a-half years in May.
The collection of photographs found on a website also show 21-year-old Dylann Roof burning the US flag and visiting a former slave plantation.
In one image he is shown staring down the camera while sitting on a chair in camouflage trousers holding a gun.
It is unclear who posted the images on the site, which was found on Saturday.
The website also carries a racist manifesto, the provenance of which is also unknown. Internet records suggest the website's domain was registered in February but it is unclear who was behind it.
A law enforcement official, quoted by AP, said the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was looking into the website.
Data from the images show many of them were taken in April and May this year.
Many of the photographs show Mr Roof posing with the Confederate flag, a symbol used in the US south during the civil war when southern states tried to break away to prevent the abolition of slavery.
It is viewed by many as symbolising the white supremacy advocated by those states at the time.
Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has joined calls for South Carolina to take down the controversial flag flying outside its capitol building in Columbia.
It follows US President Barack Obama's remark that the flag belonged "in a museum".
Hundreds of demonstrators rallied near the flag on Saturday to demand its removal.
Protesters chanted "Take it down" and sang We Shall Overcome, an anthem of the black civil rights movement.
On Friday, South Carolina's Republican state representative Doug Brannon told MSNBC that he planned to introduce legislation to remove the flag.
Elsewhere, Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton has made an impassioned appeal for tougher gun laws, saying that her heart was "bursting" for the families of the victims of the Charleston shooting.
"We can have common sense gun reforms that keep weapons out of the hands of criminals and the violently unstable, while representing responsible gun owners," she told a gathering of mayors in San Francisco.
Mr Roof was arrested on Thursday and charged with the murders of nine African-Americans at the Emanuel African Methodist Church in downtown Charleston.
Police said he spent an hour sitting with parishioners inside the church before opening fire on them on Wednesday evening.
Crowds gathered outside the historic church on Saturday to hear pastors from across the US lead prayers. Many travelled hundreds of miles from across the country to pay their respects.
"There was an overwhelming feeling that made me drive here," Monte Talmadge, a 62-year-old army veteran who drove nearly 480km (300 miles) to get to Charleston, told Reuters.
Also on Saturday, a group of congregation members met for the first time in the room where the killings took place.
One of those who attended, Harold Washington, told the Associated Press it was an emotional meeting.
Several rallies were due on Saturday, with one in Charleston organised by the Black Lives Matter movement, which began after the 2013 acquittal of George Zimmerman over the killing of an unarmed African-American teenager, Trayvon Martin.
Up to 3,000 people are also expected to join hands in a march across the Ravanel Bridge, one of the city's main thoroughfares.
The church is due to reopen on Sunday for a service at 09:00 local time (13:00 GMT).

The Eisteddfod council backed recommendations to hold the festival on the streets and in venues of the bay in 2018.
Buildings such as the Wales Millennium Centre are among sites that would be used.
The move has been described as a one year experiment.
As part of the plans, discussed at a meeting in Aberystwyth on Saturday, there would be no admittance fee to attend the main field, only charges for concerts and events.
There would also be no perimeter fence - something which organisers hope would attract more visitors, including those who would not ordinarily attend.
Eisteddfod officials will now discuss detailed plans with Cardiff council and other key partners, including the Wales Millennium Centre, over the coming months and a public meeting will be held in the city in the summer.
A traditional Maes on playing fields in Pontcanna in Cardiff had also been under consideration as a site for the 2018 event. It was the location of the Eisteddfod's last visit to the capital city in 2008.
The Eisteddfod, which travels to a different location in Wales every summer, has already scrapped the traditional pink pavilion.
The service - which started in May - provided Dundee with its only international air link.
Last month, the airline said it was temporarily rerouting the service, with passengers being taken by bus to Edinburgh Airport.
Flybe said the decision to suspend the flights was made because current radar coverage was not good enough.
The airline said it remained committed to exploring future opportunities from Dundee.
It said the route had proved "very popular" when it started in May.
A statement from the airline added: "However, due to the topography coupled with high levels of light aircraft activity in the surrounding area, it has become clear that enhanced radar coverage is required to accommodate the operation of our large passenger aircraft."
Simon Laffin, executive chairman of Flybe, said: "Serving Scotland is one of the most important parts of the Flybe business. We have tried very hard to find a way to operate out of Dundee, but we would need better radar coverage to operate in the area.
"We very much hope that this can be provided in the future to allow our flights to resume."
Flybe said it would continue to offer customers with existing bookings the option of a full refund, or a road transfer between Dundee and Edinburgh with a flight between Edinburgh and Amsterdam.
In a complaint to the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) said the alleged practice broke both Google promises and trade rules.
It said Google products used in schools sent data to the company without first seeking parental permission.
Google said its tools complied with the law.
Google provides schools with Chromebooks and its Google Apps for Education (GAFE) products - a suite of cloud-based productivity tools.
It promises not to serve adverts on the apps and says that "users own their data, not Google".
The products are designed to be a safe place for students to learn.
No adverts appear on the core apps in the suite:
According to the EFF, the Chromebooks are enabled by default with a feature to synchronise the Chrome browsers installed on them.
No express consent was sought, it alleged.
"This allows Google to track, store on its servers, and data mine for non-advertising purposes records of every internet site students visit, every search term they use, the results they click on, videos they look for and watch on YouTube, and their saved passwords," it said in a statement.
In its complaint to the FTC, the EFF added that Google "uses [the data] for its own purposes such as improving Google products". And it said Google used the data it collected to target adverts on the non-core apps.
EFF lawyer Nate Cardozo said the alleged practice contradicted the Student Privacy Pledge, to which Google is a signatory, and, therefore, represented a "violation of FTC rules against unfair and deceptive business practices".
He said: "Minors shouldn't be tracked or used as guinea pigs, with their data treated as a profit centre. If Google wants to use students' data to 'improve Google products,' then it needs to get express consent from parents."
The EFF added Google had told it it would "soon disable a setting on school Chromebooks that allows Chrome Sync data, such as browsing history, to be shared with other Google services".
It said: "While that is a small step in the right direction, it doesn't go nearly far enough to correct the violations of the Student Privacy Pledge currently inherent in Chromebooks being distributed to schools.
"EFF's filing with the FTC also reveals that the administrative settings Google provides to schools allow student personal information to be shared with third-party websites in violation of the Student Privacy Pledge.
"The ability to collect and potentially share student information follows children whenever they use Chrome to log into their Google accounts, whether on a parents' Apple iPad, friend's smartphone or home computer."
A Google spokeswoman said: "Our services enable students everywhere to learn and keep their information private and secure.
"While we appreciate EFF's focus on student privacy, we are confident that these tools comply with both the law and our promises, including the Student Privacy Pledge."
An FTC spokesman has not responded to a request for comment.
News site TorrentFreak found some sites had uploaded videos that did not show up on YouTube, but could be viewed on third-party websites.
The exploit allows a website to host its video library for free, using Google's server space and bandwidth.
YouTube told the BBC its policies "prohibit sexually explicit content like pornography".
Videos can be uploaded to YouTube under a "private" setting that prevents them from appearing publicly on the website or in search results. This setting also disables the embed function that usually lets videos be posted on other websites.
However, TorrentFreak reported that some websites had found a way to play secretly uploaded videos on their own external services, by streaming the raw data from googlevideo.com - a domain operated by Google.
The news site said it was not clear exactly how the websites were achieving this.
Hosting videos on YouTube secretly would let an adult video site keep its costs low, while earning money selling access to its videos.
One California-based adult film producer suggested that the loophole was also being used to host pirated adult content.
"Copyright infringers take advantage of a private-video-share setting," Dreamroom Productions told TorrentFreak.
"They upload and store videos, and freely use them on third party websites to earn profits."
The company said Google did take down infringing copies of its content when notified, but added that the process sometimes took up to three weeks.
"YouTube should be aware of this. They are allowing the situation to continue by not plugging this hole," the firm said.
A spokeswoman for YouTube said: "We have teams around the world that review flagged content, regardless of whether it is private, public or unlisted. Content that violates our policies is quickly removed."
The apps are included in NHS England's Health Apps Library, which tests programs to ensure they meet standards of clinical and data safety.
But the study by researchers in London discovered that, despite the vetting, some apps flouted privacy standards and sent data without encrypting it.
The apps that leaked the most data have now been removed from the library.
"If we were talking about health apps generally in the wider world, then what we found would not be surprising," said Kit Huckvale, a PhD student at Imperial College London, who co-wrote the study.
But given that the apps the study looked at were supposed to have been vetted and approved, finding that most of them did a poor job of protecting data was a surprise, he added.
Mr Huckvale and colleagues looked at 79 separate apps listed in the NHS library. Over six months they periodically supplied the apps with fake data to assess how they handled it.
The apps in the library are aimed at helping people lose weight, stop smoking, be more active and cut back on drinking.
Of the total, 70 sent personal data to associated online services and 23 did so without encrypting it.
The study found that four apps sent both personal and health data without protecting it from potential eavesdropping.
If intercepted the data could be used for ID theft or fraud, said Mr Huckvale.
More than half of the apps had a privacy policy but many of these were vaguely worded and did not let people know what types of data were being shared.
Mr Huckvale said the most of the data the apps gathered and shared was about a person's phone or their identity, with only a handful collecting information about the health of users.
The results of the study are published in the open access journal BMC Medicine.
Mr Huckvale added that the NHS needed to work harder on testing because of how apps were likely to be used in the future.
"The study is a signal and an opportunity to address this because the NHS would like to see strategic investment in apps to support people in the future," he told the BBC.
"We will see them used more often and become much more complex over time."
NHS England said: "We were made aware of some issues with some of the featured apps and took action to either remove them or contact the developers to insist they were updated.
"A new, more thorough NHS endorsement model for apps has begun piloting this month."
Security expert Ken Munro of Pen Test Partners said the study revealed the shortcomings of many developers who were not following well-established ways of handling personal data.
"It's worrying information," he said of the study. "Where insecure storage of personal data often fails is with developers not understanding the consequence of poor security practice."
Clachnaharry House has had its licence to operate cancelled after the Care Inspectorate expressed significant concerns about the care offered.
The owner, RDS Healthcare, has been given the final decision after asking for a review of an earlier order.
NHS Highland suspended its admissions to the home in November 2012. The home's 18 residents have been moved to other accommodation.
Last month, the inspectorate ordered RDS Healthcare to shut Clachnaharry House.
The company sought a review of the watchdog's decision.
RDS Healthcare had plans to close the home temporarily at the end of December to carry out refurbishment work.
However, the Care Inspectorate wants more immediate action taken.
But in China, sometimes it could be a 60-year-old woman running the show, and that may have serious consequences.
This week, state media reported that a clampdown on shadow banking in China uncovered $30bn (£23bn) worth of illegal banking activity. It may seem a staggering figure, but analysts say this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Michael Pettis from Peking University has described it as "the financial activity that exists outside the formal banking sector".
In its most basic form, it includes pawn-shops, the man on the street offering you ready credit at exorbitant rates, and attractive but risky investment schemes.
It also encompasses unregulated wealth management products offered by legitimate financial institutions.
But a substantial part of the sector also includes individuals or informal networks with no financial licence or regulation.
Informal lending has always existed in China's economy, but shadow banking really took off post the global financial crisis in 2008/2009.
These unregulated lenders offered alternative options for small and medium-sized businesses and real estate developers to get access to loans during what could have been a crippling credit crunch.
Chinese authorities turned a blind eye to them at the time, because they were arguably helping the economy to keep growing.
But as with many industries in China - such as the internet, for example - things only start getting regulated when they get very big and start getting noticed. And that's exactly what's happened with shadow banking.
Amongst those arrested in China recently as part of what has become an ongoing crackdown on illegal banking is a woman named only as Sun.
The Shanghai Daily says Mrs Sun is 60 years old, although other media outlets haven't said how old she is.
She reportedly led a local gang and provided shadow banking services to about 100 customers who wanted to buy real estate abroad or pay for their children's school fees in foreign countries.
Police reportedly said it was the largest illegal banking operation found in Shanghai in years.
And here's how it appears to have worked: Mrs Sun's customers sent her money transfers in Chinese yuan. She and her network of agents then transferred an equivalent amount in foreign currencies to their foreign accounts, or wherever else the money needed to go, through a remittance channel that operated outside the official banking networks.
The authorities suspect there could be many more such financial illusionists.
Because it is an unregulated industry, it's hard to say definitively who uses them, but it appears that Chinese companies, corrupt officials looking to move their money overseas, local governments interested in higher returns and the Chinese middle classes have all invested in the shadow banking sector.
Part of the problem is that if you're looking to grow your investments in China, there's not much you can do these days.
There aren't that many financial products the Chinese can invest in. Authorities are trying to develop China's financial sector, but it's still a relatively new and young market, and investors don't have that much financial knowledge yet.
So what options are you left with?
Well, the stock market - but it crashed last year, and although it's on its way up again, many investors have been burned.
The property sector - it also crashed, so people are understandably nervous. Plus you need a large amount of money to start investing, and it's an illiquid investment.
Saving your money in banks - interest rates have been cut frequently so you're not going to get very good returns.
So shadow banking which offers much higher returns is appealing - but it is risky, because it is unregulated.
Another compelling reason is that mainland residents can only change up to $50,000 worth of foreign currency per year, which makes it tricky if you're looking to fund a big purchase overseas.
And then there's the greed and envy factor. China's become a rich country in a pretty short space of time. And everyone wants to keep up with the Joneses.
You know how it goes. Your mate, let's call her Tina, gets a raise. She starts investing some of her savings. Then she takes you out for a drink and shows off her brand-new watch and tells you all about the holiday home she's buying - and the fantastic new investments scheme that's paying her some ridiculous return that's allowing her to do this.
And you get sucked in. That's how shadow banking can take off.
Chinese authorities are in the midst of a concerted effort to clamp down on individuals and organisations that are trying to take money out of the country, because of concerns over capital outflows and the weakening of the Chinese yuan.
But in turning a blind eye over the last decade, China has allowed the creation of a financial monster that many warn is out of control.
Moody's Investors Service says that the shadow banking system continues to expand rapidly, with assets held by these less regulated banks totalling some 78% of China's GDP.
And in its annual review of the Chinese economy, the International Monetary Fund recently said that almost half of the shadow banking products that have fuelled China's credit boom carry "an elevated risk of default".
Notwithstanding that China's economy is managed differently from that of other countries and that the government can step in and bail the sector out, if it comes to that, this is still very worrying.
This isn't just a problem for the Chinese authorities. It's a problem for the "gangster grannies", the doting grannies, China's middle classes and all the rest of us.
Because if China's credit boom can't be relied on, that means China's economic growth is at risk - and that's bad news for us all.
The City of Edinburgh Council is reducing its grant from £1,262,456 to £812,456 with all the money going to the world-famous New Year festival, which lasts for three days.
The events are now being put out to tender for firms to run on behalf of the local authority.
The new three-year contract will be from April 2017 until winter 2019/2020.
The current contract is held by Unique Events and Underbelly for the winter festivals.
Hogmanay generates £42m for Edinburgh's economy.
Richard Lewis, the City of Edinburgh Council's festivals and events champion, said: "Edinburgh's Christmas and Hogmanay celebrations are world renowned, providing the city and Scotland with unrivalled promotion and a great boost to the winter economy.
"Over the last three years, the festivals have gone from strength to strength but the costs incurred of policing Hogmanay and pressure on the council's budget has continued to increase.
"As we take these events to market, our priority now will be to ensure best value for the city while retaining Edinburgh's position as a fantastic winter destination.
"This is an exciting opportunity to build on the huge success of the winter festivals to date and identify new, creative activities and events to refresh and enhance the programme going forward."
A post on the page of parenting network Mummy's Gin Fund has seen hundreds of mothers on social media praise the "selfless attitude" of the "legendary" Tube employee know only as Pip - with many recounting their own dealings with him.
It has also sparked the hashtag #BeLikePip on Twitter.
Lee Turner-Conn, 41, from Hither Green, south-east London, says recently seeing Pip helping a pregnant woman on the packed northbound platform of the Northern Line at London Bridge station brought back memories.
"It was a flashback to my own difficult pregnancy five years ago when he had helped me," Mrs Turner-Conn, a mother of twins who works in the City, told the BBC.
"The Northern Line platform between seven and nine in the morning can be packed," she says. "He makes sure everybody is safe and when a train arrives taps on the windows of trains telling people to move along and make space.
"If he sees a pregnant women, he walks into the carriage and says 'pregnant lady. Someone give her a seat' - and everyone gets up."
Mrs Turner-Conn adds: "There were people who knew about him for 10 years. He must have been doing this a long time."
While the Tube's famous "Baby on Board" badges are designed to help spare the blushes of mothers-to-be in asking for a seat, the reality is some travellers simply refuse to get the message.
Mrs Turner-Conn says "a lot of women still feel guilty asking. Pip does the asking for us".
It is a situation Elizabeth Duff, senior policy adviser at the National Childbirth Trust, recognises.
"We know that most people travelling on public transport want to be helpful to pregnant women, but sometimes a focus on their phone or the morning paper can mean the opportunity is missed," she says.
"Expecting a baby can mean a woman is more likely to feel queasy, experience backache or just feel very tired, so being offered a seat with kindness and good humour can be very welcome indeed."
The northbound Northern Line in rush hour "can be pretty hellish", said Mrs Turner-Conn in her original Facebook post.
"It's packed, it's hot, everyone is in a rush, there are bags, briefcases, suitcases, delays, overcrowding."
She added: "Commuting is hard enough but when coupled with pregnancy it can be enough to drive some of us over the edge.
"Pregnant women get hot, dizzy, sick, tired, swollen, in pain and have a greater sense of personal space.
"The hustle and bustle of the Tube isn't always a great thing! Pip takes the time to make things better for us."
It is not known how Pip feels about all the attention or his full identity - although since the story broke he has been photographed with two members of the Mummy's Gin Fund group, Sarah Ellis and Vickie Yeardley, on the platform at London Bridge station.
Transport for London has told the BBC they will be contacting the "busy shift worker" through his manager but are yet to respond.
Meanwhile, other commuters have taken to Facebook and Twitter to share their stories.
One mother says: "This guy is a legend! He brightens up my morning every day! Always see him helping people and hear him cracking jokes which eases the pain of commuting. I hope TfL know they have great employee."
Another says: "He's fab! I commuted for 9 years thru London Bridge and saw him help so many people in that time :) love him!"
"Please keep him on the platforms and use him as a shining example of customer service to others," reads a Tweet.
Mummy's Gin Fund also appear to be taken aback by the social media and press reaction to its call to to get Pip "the recognition he deserves".
"Pip is a ray of sunshine, making that temporary moment of stressful horror so much more comfortable," it says. "He is everyone's cheerleader, supporter and guide. That's why we started our campaign."
The BBC's Norman Smith said Labour's leader cited "prior arrangements" and the party had offered shadow business secretary Angela Eagle instead.
Labour denied it was a snub but one ex-minister said it was a missed chance for Mr Corbyn to engage with business.
Ed Miliband spoke at the first CBI conference after his election in 2010 but did not always attend subsequently.
The annual get-together of business leaders will take place on 9 November.
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan is currently the only named Cabinet minister officially scheduled to take part in one of the sessions, although the employers group has said another senior cabinet minister will set out the government's agenda for growth and jobs.
David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg all spoke at last year's event.
A CBI spokeswoman said: "The CBI invited the leader of the opposition to its annual conference immediately after he was appointed. We received a response on 26 October, saying he was unable to attend."
Labour said Mr Corbyn could not attend because of other commitments. Norman Smith said Labour said they had put forward Ms Eagle as an alternative speaker but the "offer was not taken up".
The Labour leader has been a critic of "big business" in the past and at last week's Prime Minister Questions referred to "David Cameron's friends at the CBI" when attacking government policy on tax credit cuts.
Former Treasury Secretary Liam Byrne said it would have "been better" for Mr Corbyn to attend but his absence was not a "massive deal".
"Our economic policy is still a work in progress," he told the Daily Politics.
"There's lots of people in the business community who want to reconnect wealth creation with social justice. We need to embrace them and build a common cause with them."
Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair's former director of communications, tweeted: "If Jeremy Corbyn is seriously saying he won't put Labour's case to the CBI we may as well just give Osborne the job now."
Since becoming Labour leader, Mr Corbyn has spoken at the TUC Annual Congress and also at the CND's annual conference. He has also attended a number of official functions, including a state banquet for the Chinese president.
Mr Miliband spoke at the CBI conference in 2010 and then again in 2012 and 2014. But former shadow chancellor Ed Balls deputised for him in 2011 and 2013.
Malcolm Roberts won a Queensland Senate seat as member of the anti-immigration One Nation party in recent elections.
He says the United Nations is using climate change to lay the foundations for an unelected global government.
His previous writing indicates that he believes a shadowy cabal of bankers is controlling world affairs.
One Nation is led by Pauline Hanson, who during the 1990s was a controversial figure in Australian politics for her views on immigration and Indigenous Australians.
The party won four seats in Australia's Senate during the election, making it the fourth-largest voting bloc in the upper house.
The BBC has asked Mr Roberts for an interview and submitted questions to him by email, but has not received a reply.
But in recent interviews with the Australian Broadcasting Corp (ABC), Mr Roberts stood by his previous positions.
He called for an investigation into Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) over its handling of climate change science.
When asked if he still believed the UN was trying to impose a worldwide government through climate change policy, Mr Roberts answered: "Definitely".
In 2011, Mr Roberts wrote a letter to then Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard demanding to be exempted from the country's carbon tax.
The letter, addressed to "The Woman, Julia-Eileen:Gillard", contained a 28-point affidavit that sought to establish Mr Roberts' exemption from the need to obey the Australian government.
He referred to himself as "Malcolm-Ieuan: Roberts., the living soul", and identified himself as the "beneficiary, administrator" for a corporate entity called MALCOLM IEUAN ROBERTS.
The punctuation and language is consistent with a style of language used by the so-called sovereign citizen movement, which sees governments as illegitimate and attempts to assert the rights of individuals to ignore laws and taxes.
The use of unusual grammar and punctuation by sovereign citizens is intended to establish independence from the government's legal system.
However, in a radio interview with the ABC, Mr Roberts denied that he was affiliated with the movement.
Mr Roberts also wrote a report in 2013 entitled CSRIOh!: Climate of Deception, Or First Step to Freedom? that detailed his rejection of man-made global warming.
"The UN IPCC's unfounded core claim about human CO2 is part of UN Agenda 21 campaign for global governance," the report said.
In a 135-page appendix to the report, Mr Roberts wrote in detail about his belief that an international cabal of bankers is exercising enormous influence on world affairs.
The report says the US Federal Reserve and Bank of England are privately controlled corporations, and that their owners are seeking to introduce carbon trading into the world economy as a way to generate money and extend their control.
It also lists Holocaust denier and conspiracy theorist Eustace Mullins as a primary reference.
Mr Roberts has been criticised in the past by prominent Australian climate sceptic Andrew Bolt, who said his theories on banking families "smacks too much of the Jewish world conspiracy theorising I've always loathed".
But in the report Mr Roberts writes that those who "falsely smear or imply those raising the topic [of the international banking scam] as anti-Jewish … is an unfounded furphy [an untruth] designed to distract. The reality is that international bankers come from a variety of religions."
Mr Roberts told the ABC that his top priorities as a senator were "accountability" for the government and "restoring the constitution", relieving cost-of-living pressures, economic security and security from terrorism.
Stokes turned down offers from Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Dundee United to move to Easter Road until the end of the season.
"It'll all come down to how well I do for Hibs," Stokes told BBC Scotland.
"If I score goals, if I perform on a consistent basis, everything else will fall into place if I do that."
The striker, 26, has won eight caps for Ireland, the last of which came in November 2013 against Poland.
"Representing my country is probably the highest honour I could have ever thought about getting as a footballer," Stokes continued.
"Everything that goes with your club is great but representing your country is something special."
Despite falling out of favour at Parkhead and making just two appearances for the champions this season, Celtic manager Ronny Deila reiterated that Stokes could still have a future at the club. The Irishman hopes that proves to be the case.
"I want to go back there next year. I want to go back a stronger player, fitter and maybe more confident if I can come here and score goals. That's all I'm worried about at the minute.
"Everything that has happened this year is in the past now, I'm just looking forward to finishing the year strongly with Hibs.
"I haven't played a lot of football lately and it is difficult to get thrown in and play games but you're only going to get match sharpness by getting 90 minutes under your belt.
"That's why I'm looking forward to coming here and I'm relishing the opportunity to help Hibs as much as I can between now and the end of the season."

The Glassboys, who play at seventh-tier level in the Northern Premier League, put out National League South Whitehawk 3-0 in Monday's first-round replay.
"It's an amazing achievement," long-serving Hackett, 54, told BBC WM.
"We're the most successful club in the country at the level we compete at."
Former Shrewsbury, Aberdeen, Stoke, West Bromwich Albion, Peterborough and Chester winger Hackett has been in charge of his home-town club since 2004.
Stourbridge had never got beyond the qualifying rounds until 2009 and it was a record that Hackett, who made the fifth round as a Shrewsbury player in 1984, was keen to put right.
They have now got to at least the first round five times in eight seasons.
"You don't get lucky," he said. "We've got good players who can handle the big occasion. We really love the FA Cup and the players keep responding.
"We comprehensively deserved to beat Whitehawk. We didn't get lucky. It was an amazing night, a packed house and we've turned up and performed.
"The travelling support we took to Brighton for the first game was tremendous too."
Now they face Northampton Town, whose manager Rob Page was in the crowd at The War Memorial Athletic Ground to watch the meeting of his side's potential second-round opponents.
"They're flying high in League One," added Hackett. "Although we caused an upset on Monday, we know we're going to have to cause an even bigger upset to beat them.
"But anything can happen in the FA Cup. We've got a boxer's chance of landing a big slug."
The company's chief executive David Strahan confirmed the start date as he gave evidence to a Northern Ireland Assembly inquiry into the rail project.
The inquiry was set up last year to examine why the cost of the upgrade has almost doubled from its original estimate of around £20m to £40m.
Translink staff were questioned by Regional Development Committee members.
On Tuesday members of the committee travelled to the hearing in Derry by train, taking the opportunity to speak to passengers about any issues on the rail line.
The second stage of the upgrade involves major re-signalling between Derry and Coleraine and the introduction of a passing loop.
The work is due to be completed in 2016.
Speaking to BBC Radio Foyle, committee member John Dallat said Derry needed a proper inter-city service and added he was looking forward to a "new era for the north west".
"Last time only one contractor expressed an interest, this time I understand there are four and a lot of the figures that should have been done the last time have been done."
Mr Dallat said: "I hope that the city of Derry and all the towns in-between will have a new rail service by 2016.
"It's not a dream it's a reality and I'm absolutely confident because I know that no other city in the world doesn't have a decent inter-city service."
Last year, Translink said an hourly service on the route was a "priority".
Senior representatives of the company were questioned alongside government officials at the Derry hearing.
In a statement, a Translink spokesperson said: "Appearing today at the Committee for Regional Development, Translink confirmed that, subject to the successful completion of a tender process, work on phase 2 of the project to relay the railway line between Coleraine and Derry is expected to commence in May 2015.
Luke Reeves, 28, from Surrey, had intended to jump 300ft (91m) - a feat his dad dreamed of but never got to do - on Sunday.
Mark Reeves, 53, died when a vintage jet plummeted onto the A27 in West Sussex on 22 August, killing 11 people.
He had carried out skydives and abseils himself in aid of Cancer Research.
"Nothing really scared him," he said.
"I could not stand on top of our house without feeling like I'm going to fall off and my knees going weak.
"But he always wanted to do a bungee and he never got to tick that off, so I said to my other half I'm going to do a bungee for dad."
First, Mr Reeves found one at 150ft (46m), but he said his father would have done something better.
"So we found one for 300ft and it looks like I'm doing that," he said.
Luke said he had set up a fundraising page with a £409.61 target, because his father's birthday was 4 September 1961. He has already surpassed that target.
He had to call off the attempt due to "technical problems".
Colin Hill, 61, of Hawick, was accused of dangerous driving in Jedburgh in October last year.
He was charged with failing to control the bus by driving at excessive speed for the conditions and road layout.
He was also accused of striking a car, railings, a wall and a road sign. The case was continued without plea at Jedburgh Sheriff Court.
The holidays would be on each nation's patron saint day - St David's Day on 1 March, St Patrick's Day on 17 March, St George's Day on 23 April and St Andrew's Day on 30 November.
Mr Corbyn believes the move will "celebrate the national cultures of our proud nations".
Labour says the UK has fewer bank holidays than other G20 countries.
Normally, England and Wales have eight bank holidays a year, Scotland nine, and Northern Ireland 10.
Labour says the average for G20 countries is 12.
Under the policy, the devolved administrations would have the final say on whether to approve the extra bank holidays.
Creating bank holidays is a devolved power in Scotland.
"The four nations that make up our great country have rarely been more divided due to the damaging and divisive policies of this Conservative government," Mr Corbyn will say in a speech on Sunday.
"But where Theresa May divides, Labour will unite our four nations.
"A Labour government will make St George's Day - England's national day and Shakespeare's birthday - a public holiday, along with St David's Day, St Andrew's Day and St Patrick's Day.
"These holidays will be a chance for workers to spend time with their families, in their communities and with their friends.
"But they will also be a chance to celebrate the national cultures of our proud nations."

It was just over two weeks ago that they found themselves 20-6 against South Africa. The odd collapse must be expected in this era of ultra-aggressive batting.
The Champions Trophy semi-final defeat by Pakistan, an eight-wicket hammering, was one of those bad days.
England simply did not know what was a good total on a used Cardiff surface. As a result, they chased an impossible dream and fell well short.
The problems for Eoin Morgan's men began the day before this match. They were clearly concerned about the pitch and talked about it a lot on Tuesday.
Each venue is only permitted to use three different pitches for the tournament, so that is why an old one was used for the semi-final. You wonder why that rule is in place, but that is not to make an excuse for England. They allowed it to get into their minds.
We were all surprised when Pakistan choose to bowl first - normal cricketing logic says you bat first in these circumstances, knowing that surface will get slower and harder to bat on.
However, the counter to that is fielding first means you don't have to worry about calculating what a good score might be. You simply have to chase what the opposition make. That is exactly what Pakistan did.
England were well placed at 128-2, but batted themselves into a hole.
Morgan maybe felt they were behind and played a rash shot; Ben Stokes wasn't able to play with freedom because wickets were falling around him. The hosts were completely squeezed by brilliant Pakistan bowling and fielding.
When England came out to field, they knew they had no other option than to bowl Pakistan out. They pushed and pushed, and that can lead to some loose bowling. In those situations, well-laid plans can quickly go out of the window, which is part of the reason why the game sped away.
And so England go out of a tournament they looked well placed to win. They had all bases covered: powerful batting and a bowling attack full of variety and wicket-takers - a team of match-winners. They will be bitterly disappointed.
Plenty of times before, England teams have had chances to end the hunt for a global 50-over trophy, a search that goes back to 1975. On this occasion, like the near-misses that have gone before, England failed to click when it mattered most.
Recently, England lost the 2013 Champions Trophy final and the 2016 World T20 final, two games they had the chance to win. Now this.
Are they developing a problem in crunch contests? I don't think so. Indeed, it is an achievement for them to be getting to these knockout matches, especially after the shambolic World Cup campaign two years ago.
They will now set their sights on the 2019 World Cup, where once again they will be the hosts.
Two years out, they look in good shape to do well in that tournament. Most of this squad will still be around and the England hierarchy will want Morgan to remain in the job, even if Joe Root is about to take over as Test captain. Some skippers want to be in charge of the whole lot, but Morgan has done a good job and is batting well.

England will dissect this defeat, but huge credit must go to Pakistan, a team transformed from the one humbled by India in their first game.
Just as the nature of one-day cricket can see a very good side like England fall flat, so too can a team rise from nowhere to potential champions.
Their bowling was terrific, led by the pace of Hasan Ali, who is fully deserving of his place as the tournament's leading wicket-taker.
He is in your face and aggressive, backed up by the left-armers of Junaid Khan and the precocious leg-spin of 18-year-old Shadab Khan. Another left-armer, Rumman Raes, came in and performed excellently on his ODI debut, perhaps helped by the fact that England had never seen him before.
Pakistan are so mercurial, you often look to their fielding as a sign of where the team is at. In Cardiff, after some tough drops, they were electric, most notably Fakhar Zaman's catch to dismiss Moeen Ali - watch the video above - and substitute Ahmed Shehzad's run-out of Adil Rashid.
And, with the bat, the attacked the new ball, because that was the best time to look to score runs. In the end, they romped to victory.
They have picked themselves up after that loss to India, upset world number ones South Africa, eked past Sri Lanka in order to make the semi-finals and have now dumped out the hosts and favourites. They will go to Sunday's final full of confidence.
Most would probably like that final to be against India, but a clash against Bangladesh comes with a similar amount of historical meaning. Pakistan matches against either India or Bangladesh do not come too often outside of these events.
It's disappointing that England will not be in that final, but the occasion will not be harmed by their absence.
Anthony France, 41, from Watford, is accused of paying an anti-terror police officer at Heathrow Airport for tips.
Mr France said he would never have become involved if he had known it was illegal as he was a "man of good character not involved in crime".
He denies aiding and abetting Pc Timothy Edwards to commit misconduct in a public office.
The trial is part of the Metropolitan Police's Operation Elveden, which is investigating alleged illegal payments to police and officials.
While working as an officer in the Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command based at Heathrow Airport, Pc Edwards, 49, allegedly sold 38 stories and pieces of information to the journalist in exchange for more than £22,000.
Asked what he would have done if he thought talking to Pc Edwards might be illegal, Mr France said: "I would never have got involved with it.
"I would have told him to get lost. I'm a man of good character not involved in crime."
The court heard how Pc Edwards was "given" to Mr France as a source.
After they met at a pub in 2008, he was told by a colleague: "I've spoken to a lawyer and it's fine."
Asked what Pc Edwards' employers might have done if they had found out, Mr France said: "I suspected they might not be happy and might put him through a disciplinary process.
"I thought with the public interest involved that the worst that might happen was he might be sacked. It never came to my mind that anybody considered it criminal."
The court heard while working as the Sun's crime reporter between 2006 and 2010, he had been involved in numerous campaigns involving victims of crime and even worked undercover.
For example, he did a lot of work with the father of young murder victim Damilola Taylor, he said.
But in 2010, Mr France had his title taken away by a boss at the Sun who he described as a "homophobic bully".
He said as a black gay man, it was particularly challenging working for the senior journalist, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
"I could stick up for myself but then there were attempts by him to get me out of the newspaper," he told the court.
Asked by his barrister Adrian Keeling QC why he was determined to stay, Mr France replied: "Because crime reporting is my life."
Mr France is accused of aiding and abetting Pc Edwards to commit misconduct in a public office between March 2008 and July 2011.
The trial continues.
Glencore said it aimed to reduce its net debt "to the low US$20bns by the end of 2016".
It said it would sell assets and raise $2.5bn in a new share issue.
The firm also said it would suspend some of its copper production operations in Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo for 18 months.
It estimated that the suspension would remove 400,000 tonnes of copper from the global market, equivalent to about a quarter of the firm's total copper production.
It has also stopped dividend payments to shareholders until further notice.
Glencore shares were suspended in Hong Kong ahead of the announcement but closed up by 7% in London trade. Last week they had been trading some 60% below their level at the start of the year.
In August, the firm reported a first-half loss of $676m after being hit by falling oil and metal prices.
The Switzerland-based firm also said at the time that investment spending in 2016 was expected to be lower than this year.
Glencore says the Zambian and Congo mines due to be suspended are both decades old with production costs close to double those of its more modern Congo mines.
The suspension will allow Glencore to upgrade and expand the operations to reduce costs.
Prices for copper and coal - two of the company's most important products - have fallen to six-year lows in recent times.
Ratings agency Standard & Poor's said last week it might lower Glencore's credit rating if the giant did not reduce its debt.
"We would likely lower the rating on Glencore if we perceive reduced commitment to defending the rating or if commodity prices persist below our price deck or fall further, absent material offsetting factors," the ratings agency said at the time.
Glencore's chief executive Ivan Glasenberg and chief financial officer Steven Kalmin said in a statement on Monday the measures would not affect their core business activities.
They also said the measures had "been designed to sensibly accelerate the deleveraging of our balance sheet [and] maximise future cash-flow generation in the current weak commodity price environment" .
But Lord Justice Pitchford said the force's "incompetence" and "failure" to plan for and anticipate the work involved were to blame for delays.
The inquiry was set up to investigate claims of wrongdoing by disbanded undercover units.
Campaigners say the cover names of former officers must be disclosed.
Activists who are taking part in the inquiry say the Met is "perpetuating secrecy" by refusing to disclose them.
They say people will not know if they were being spied on without this knowledge.
Addressing a preliminary hearing, Lord Justice Pitchford said the inquiry had wasted 12 months on the question of anonymity.
Despite this, the Met, which says it is working "tirelessly" to assess the risks of disclosing the names, has asked for more time to do so.
It has so far made decisions on only 18 out of 168 of the undercover officers.
The inquiry was ordered by the then home secretary, Theresa May, in 2015 but is yet to hear any evidence.
It is looking into the activities of the Met's top secret Special Demonstration Squad, which infiltrated protest groups for nearly 40 years until it was disbanded in 2008.
Undercover inquiry: The key allegations
Meanwhile, the Met was warned that unless it disclosed key documents it might be ordered to.
The campaigners say the Met has repeatedly tried to "stifle" the inquiry's effectiveness and prevent allegations of wrongdoing being made public.
But Jonathan Hall QC, for the Met, argued that the force should be given until October to finish the work - and denied it was trying to suppress material.
"It is not to conceal or delay, it is to ensure proper, informed, robust decisions are made," he said, adding that the Met had already spent £5m on the inquiry, with £10m forecast to be spent next year, and had 100 people working on it."
Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein said the government response had so far fallen short.
In March, the decapitated bodies of 40 policemen were found, as well as the bodies of two missing UN investigators.
The government has been fighting the Kamuina Nsapu militia in the region.
Fighting broke out in June last year after its leader Jean-Pierre Pandi called for a popular uprising with the aim of removing all state institutions and security forces from the region so that he could establish his chiefdom.
Mr Pandi was killed two months later, after security forces raided his home, and his followers then took up arms.
The UN says hundreds of people have been killed and more than a million displaced in central DR Congo since fighting broke out.
It says at least 42 mass graves have been found.
It had asked the government to agree to a joint investigation by 8 June, failing which it would call for an international investigation.
DR Congo has been plunged into a constitutional crisis since President Joseph Kabila refused to step down after his term ended last year.
A succession deal brokered by the Catholic Church, that would see Mr Kabila hand over power by the end of this year, has failed to resolve the crisis.
The musical - about a football-loving girl in London - opened two days after the England squad won a place in the quarter-finals against hosts Canada.
"It's fantastic timing for us that it's the Women's World Cup," Chadha told the BBC.
"It's even greater news that the England team are doing so well.
"As soon as they get back to Heathrow that's the first thing we're going to do - invite them all, and maybe they'll take a bow themselves."
At the curtain call on Wednesday's opening night, at London's Phoenix Theatre, the cast unfurled a banner in support of the England women's squad.
"We got to hold the banner at the end with pride," said Natalie Dew, who plays the lead role of Jess, a Punjabi Sikh teenager forbidden to play football by her parents.
"We are so happy that they remain in the finals."
The England team's Casey Stoney was a consultant for musical's football choreography.
The show's gala opening was attended by actress Juliet Stevenson, who also appeared in the original film. "It's kept the heart and message of the film," she said.
Chadha's 2002 movie, which launched the careers of Keira Knightley and Parminder Nagra, was a huge hit at home and abroad.
The new musical version includes songs composed by Howard Goodall, with lyrics by Charles Hart.
Chadha, who grew up in London's Southall, said the story carried a "great message for girls".
"It's about a young woman who dreams of doing something that is seen to be very much part of a man's world, and how she earns the right to take on the world for herself despite everyone saying 'don't do it'.
"It's not just about football, but everything in life."
She said David Beckham's manager had said the football star was "desperate to come and see it with his family".
Chadha admitted that new musicals in the West End were a "risky business".
Made in Dagenham - also based on a British film - closed in April after a West End run of six months.
"All you can do is your best - tell your story with as much honesty and integrity as you can," she said.
"I really hope the British public come to see it, and appreciate it as a new kind of West End British musical, because that's what we were trying to achieve."
The musical begins with the voice of veteran football commentator John Motson, who was also in the audience on Wednesday night.
He said: "With our girls doing so well in the World Cup, it couldn't have been staged at a better time."

Kevin Nolan, from Stewartstown Road in west Belfast, moved to England days after receiving the items.
He was arrested in September 2015 when the haul was discovered at the house on Ballymurphy Road in west Belfast.
Nolan will spend a further three-and-a-half years on licence following his release from prison.
His name will also be placed on an anti-terrorist list for 15 years.
Passing sentence at Belfast Crown Court, the judge said the amount of Semtex found could have been used to create a "large and destructive device", but accepted Nolan had been "passively storing the items for potential future use" by others.
Despite initially denying all the offences and claiming he found a bag containing what he thought was drugs and money, Nolan now admits that when he worked in a taxi company, he was approached and asked to keep the items.
The Semtex was discovered along with two guns, detonators and assorted ammunition during a police search which took place on 17 September 2015.
Among the items was a holdall containing a Baikai gas pistol, a revolver and silencer and more than 300 bullets, as well as 651g of Semtex - enough to make three under-vehicle improvised explosive devices.
Also found were two improvised detonators, a black balaclava and a large plastic tub containing more rounds of ammunition.
Nolan's barrister told the court he was approached by dissident republicans while he was a taxi driver and asked to store the items.
The barrister also said that while on remand for the offences, Nolan never asked to be moved to the republican wing, and was amongst the general prison population.
She told the court that her client had no criminal record, that "he was never arrested in his life before for any reason," and that as a result of events Nolan has been the subject of several threats.
An intelligence-led search operation in September 2015 had uncovered a "significant cache of explosives, weapons and ammunition all hidden in various rooms" of the house on Ballymurphy Road in west Belfast.
Nolan, who was living in England at the time, was arrested under the Terrorism Act and brought back to Northern Ireland for interview, when he claimed he had no knowledge or involvement with the items, said Det Insp Adrian Brown, from the PSNI's Serious Crime Unit.
"At one stage he said he had found a bag containing the cache while walking alone in the City Cemetery.
"He said he seen two men, one who was carrying a large plastic bag, which they left at a hedge.
"Kevin Nolan stated he had taken the bag believing it contained drugs or money and he didn't know there were firearms and munitions until he looked inside once he had arrived at his parents' home where he lived at the time."
The embattled electronics firm posted a loss of $8.8bn (£6.7bn) for the last fiscal year.
Auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers Aarata gave a "qualified opinion" on the financial statements, meaning it broadly endorsed the results.
Toshiba has struggled to recover from a 2015 accounting scandal.
The firm's troubles started in 2015 when it was found to have inflated the previous seven years' profits by $1.2bn.
The accounting scandal led to the resignation of several members of the firm's senior management, including the chief executive.
In late 2016, billions of dollars in losses at its US nuclear unit Westinghouse were first revealed. Toshiba, looking to diversify away from consumer electronics, had bought the business in 2006.
Its financial troubles deepened after delays and costs overruns at two US reactors, and as global appetite for nuclear energy waned following the 2011 Fukushima disaster in Japan.
Westinghouse was put into Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which protects it from creditors while it undergoes restructuring.
Toshiba had delayed the release of its financial results for months, as it struggled to secure sign-off from its auditors.
PricewaterhouseCoopers Aarata on Thursday delivered a "qualified opinion" on the earnings for the year to March, as well as the April-June quarter.
That means it broadly vouched for its accounting despite finding minor problems.
The auditor's sign-off reduces the immediate threat of Toshiba being delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
The company was demoted from the first tier of the exchange in June after confirming its liabilities outweighed its assets.
If Toshiba reports negative net worth - liabilities exceeding assets - for a second consecutive year it would likely prompt a delisting.
It's up to the Tokyo Stock Exchange to decide whether it can remain on the bourse.
Toshiba has narrowly escaped de-listing - for now at least. But the troubled firm's problems are far from over.
While auditors PricewaterhouseCoopers Aarata have broadly endorsed the results, there are reports that PwC also issued an "adverse opinion" on Toshiba saying the company didn't do enough to alert investors about the losses at its US Westinghouse unit soon enough. Toshiba says that it reported the losses as soon as it could.
But the risk hasn't gone away. Another deadline still looms - the company has until March 2018 to resolve its debt issues.
Analysts say it's hard to see how the beleaguered electronics giant won't face delisting soon - simply because trust in the firm's ability to resurrect itself is at an all time-low and the company hasn't done much to infuse investors with confidence.
The company needs to sell its prized chip business to cover its hefty US losses. But the sale has hit hurdles.
Toshiba is trying to offload the unit to a consortium of US, South Korean and Japanese investors. The sale has been challenged by Toshiba's partner and rival bidder, Western Digital, in court.
Toshiba is the world's second-largest chip manufacturer. Its products are used in data centres and consumer goods worldwide, including iPhones and iPads.
Goa's Agriculture Minister Ramesh Tawadkar said peacocks were damaging crops and could be culled.
Monkeys, wild boars and wild bison, Goa's state animal, would also be culled under the plans.
Shrinking forest cover in Goa has left less space for wildlife, which is encroaching on human habitat.
Mr Tawadkar said a committee had been formed to assess the peacocks' impact, along with that of the other animals.
"Some farmers said that peacocks also were damaging their crops in fields in hilly areas," he told Indian news agency IANS.
The birds are currently protected under India's Wildlife Protection Act of 1972.
The minister said he was aware of the peacock's status but insisted the government would follow a procedure whereby the bird could also be classified as a nuisance.
Animal rights groups have opposed the plans.
"If Goa wants to remain on the tourist map, people expect it to be a paradise for animals too," said Poorva Joshipura from PETA India.
Last month Goa's state government sparked outrage when it reclassified the coconut tree, which previously had protected status, as a palm because it does not have branches.
Officials said the move was necessary to make it easier to fell "economically unviable" and dangerous trees.
But environmentalists fear large numbers of coconut trees could now be removed to make way for development.
The seven Ukrainians and one Lithuanian have had to stay with the MV Nicola in Invergordon after the vessel got into difficulty in the Pentland Firth.
The boat's owners also went bankrupt, but following a takeover by a new company the seamen will be able to return home on Thursday.
During their time in Scotland they were taken to Ross County games in Dingwall.
Drew Anderson, Invergordon's port chaplain, said the eight had become keen supporters of the SPFL team.
He told BBC Alba: "They went to all the home matches at Ross County.
"The club was kind enough to give them hats and scarves and tickets for the matches.
"They are now staunch Ross County supporters."
During the sailors' spell in the Highlands, Ross County ended a string of defeats with a run of five wins and a draw - one of the best performances in the SPFL.
The men also volunteered at the Blytheswood charity depot in Evanton, near Invergordon.
The eight have been able to return home following the acquisition of the boat's owners by a Dutch shipping company.
Mr Anderson said: "It's been difficult for them being so far from home and in a foreign country, and sometimes short of money.
"They are really looking forward to seeing their wives and children."
Charnley, 24, has helped Wigan win a Super League Grand Final and two Challenge Cups since joining in 2010.
"Josh is a great signing. Everyone I have spoken to rates him very highly," said director of rugby Steve Diamond.
Meanwhile, Wigan centre Dan Sarginson, 22, will join NRL side Gold Coast Titans next season.
Charnley, who has played seven times for England, scored a hat-trick in his most recent appearance for Warriors - Monday's 30-16 win over Hull KR.
He has scored 148 tries and kicked 94 goals in 152 games for last season's Super League grand finalists.
Diamond added: "He has explosive pace and can play either full-back or on the wing. The last big signing we made from Wigan, back in 2000, was Jason Robinson and what an impact he had."
Wigan tried to keep both Charnley and Sarginson by offering them new deals, Warriors chairman Ian Lenagan said.
"We offered Josh a new long-term contract that would put him up there with the biggest earners at the club," he added.
"But having won so much at Wigan, he feels that the time is right to take on a new challenge."
Wigan coach Shaun Wane said he will have "a heavy heart" seeing Charnley leave, adding he was "sad" at Sarginson's impending departure.
Australia-born Sarginson, who has also played at full-back this season, joined Wigan from London Broncos in 2014.
"Dan has been open and clear that he wanted to see out his contract at Wigan before then taking on another challenge in the NRL or in rugby union," said Lenagan.
Hazard, 24, has scored 13 goals and made eight assists in 33 Premier League games to help leaders Chelsea move to the cusp of the title.
The award was voted for by the Belgian midfielder's fellow professionals.
Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane, 21, was named PFA Young Player of the Year, while Chelsea midfielder Ji So-Yun took the Women's Player of the Year award.

Hazard, who won last season's young player accolade, was handed the prize at the Grosvenor Hotel in London on Sunday.
"I'm very happy. One day I want to be the best and what I did this season is play very well, Chelsea played very well," he said.
"I don't know if I deserve to win but it is good for me. It is better to be voted by the players - they know everything about football.
"Personally I have played a good season, I have been there in the big games and I scored a lot of important goals, this is why I'm better this season."
Arsenal midfielder Leah Williamson, 18, won the Women's PFA Young Player of the Year award.
The 21-year-old was voted Young Player of the Year despite only beginning to feature regularly for the White Hart Lane club in November.
Kane has 30 goals in all competitions for Mauricio Pochettino's side this season and also scored on his England debut against Lithuania in March.
"It is amazing. It is a very proud moment for myself and my family - hopefully the first of many to come," said Kane about his award.
"I have got to keep working hard, but to be recognised by your fellow players is something special and it is a night I won't forget.
"I got the opportunity with the gaffer and I have really enjoyed my season so far - I have taken my chance."
Six Chelsea players are in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year.
Defenders Branislav Ivanovic, John Terry and Gary Cahill are joined by midfielders Nemanja Matic and Eden Hazard plus striker Diego Costa.
Southampton full-back Ryan Bertrand and Spurs striker Kane are also in a team voted for by top-flight players.
Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea, Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho and Alexis Sanchez of Arsenal also figure.
Lucy Bronze, 23, is the only player from Liverpool's championship-winning side to be selected in the Women's Super League Team of the Year.
Striker Troy Deeney, 26, is the only member of promoted Watford's side in a Championship Team of the Year that features players from nine different clubs.
Five players from champions Bristol City are selected for the League One Team of the Year.
The League Two select XI features players from Portsmouth, Plymouth, Southend, Bury, Luton, Exeter and Shrewsbury.
Former England midfielders Steven Gerrard, 34, and Frank Lampard, 36, shared the PFA Merit award.
The veteran pair will leave the Premier League for Major League Soccer in the United States in the summer, having collected 220 England caps between them.
"I'm a young boy from a council estate who has worked ever so hard to get to where I am today," said Gerrard, who will bring his 17-year career at Anfield to an end this summer when he joins Los Angeles Galaxy.
"I have been lucky, I have had a fantastic career, it has been full of highs and lows but some of the highs I have achieved have blown me away and I achieved a lot of my dreams playing for Liverpool and England.
"Frank is an unbelievable player, a world-class player and I couldn't ask for anyone better to share it with."
Lampard, on-loan at Manchester City from New York City FC, added: "I have been fortunate enough to have had a long time playing in the Premier League along with Steven.
"It is a great honour to be alongside a player who himself has done so much for the game. For the two of us to get it, it is a nice send-off and a nice ending for me."
The remains were excavated from the site of one of UK's earliest known hospitals, near Winchester, Hampshire.
Scientific detective work suggests the man was a religious pilgrim who may have caught the disease on his travels.
University of Winchester researchers think leprosy may have become common in Europe in the Middle Ages because of the great pilgrimages of the period.
Dr Simon Roffey, of the University of Winchester, said investigations of the skeleton have shed light on one of the ways that leprosy might have arrived in England.
"From the 11th Century to the 14th Century in Western Europe we get an unprecedented rise in the foundation of leprosy hospitals," he said.
"Why is leprosy - which has been around for centuries - suddenly finding its way and impacting so much on Western European society at that time?
"This one individual gives us an insight into one of the reasons why this disease found its way into a medieval society."
Leprosy is an infection caused by a bacterium (Mycobacterium leprae).
It has been a human disease for thousands of years and was recorded in ancient China, Egypt and India.
The disease develops slowly and causes skin lesions and deformities.
People continue to be affected today in some parts of the world.
Researchers performed extensive tests on a skeleton excavated from one of the UK's earliest known hospitals.
Radiocarbon dating indicated that the remains were buried during the late 11th or early 12th Century.
Scientists believe the man was a religious pilgrim. He was interred with a scallop shell, the traditional symbol of a pilgrim who has made the journey to the shrine of St James in Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
"We extracted pathogen DNA from the skeleton of this individual to test for the presence of M. leprae, thus confirming that he was indeed suffering from lepromatous leprosy at the time he died," said Prof Mike Taylor, of the University of Surrey.
The pilgrim had a strain of leprosy that is found today in central or western Asia.
It remains unclear at what point during or following his pilgrimage the man contracted leprosy.
"Traditionally the crusades have been seen to be one of the main reasons for the spread of leprosy in western Europe in the medieval period. However, we know from other forms of evidence that hospitals were present a number of decades before the crusades," said Dr Roffey.
"Work at Winchester has suggested that pilgrimage may be another conduit for the spread of leprosy because we have the only example of a medieval pilgrim with early stage leprosy in the leprosy hospital cemetery.
"And therefore that suggests that pilgrimage may also have been a conduit for leprosy and perhaps even an earlier conduit for the transmission of leprosy in western Europe."
The research suggests the genetic make-up of the bacteria that causes leprosy has not significantly changed since the disease peaked in medieval Europe.
This might explain why transmission of the disease has slowed in modern times as human populations develop resistance.
The minor genetic differences between strains is likely to reflect different origins of the disease through past movements of people or trade from different parts of the world.
The research is published in the journal, PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases.

Storm have been in the final four times in five years and lost out by one point to Manchester Thunder in 2014.
But they finally lifted the trophy with a solid display against the two-time champions at London's Copperbox Arena.
Surrey led from the first quarter and eventually pulled 17 points ahead of the Mavericks to win, with England's Pamela Cookey dominant in attack.
The Mavericks had claimed the final play-off place by finishing fourth in the standings at the end of the regular season.
And last weekend they stunned reigning champions Manchester Thunder by winning their semi-final to book a place in the domestic showpiece.
Surrey had ended the season second, behind unbeaten Thunder, and overcame Yorkshire Jets to reach the final.
After a nervy start in front of a 6,000 capacity crowd, Surrey took the first quarter by three points and went in at half-time 26-20 ahead.
The Mavericks reduced the deficit to four, thanks in part to some accurate shooting from Kadeen Corbin and Louisa Watson.
But Surrey's quality told and player-coach Tamsin Greenway finally ended her run of three final defeats in charge.

Australia II, skippered by John Bertrand and equipped with a novel winged keel, sailed into national folklore when it grabbed the cup away from the prestigious New York Yacht Club, breaking the longest winning streak - 132 years - in sporting history.
Most Australians had never heard of the America's Cup. But the victory sparked massive celebration across the country and Bertrand was welcomed home with a ticker tape parade.
But it was Alan Bond who made it all possible.
The British-born Australian, then one of the nation's richest men, bankrolled the antipodeans' fourth bid to beat the Americans, and Australians loved him for it.
Already anointed Australian of the Year in 1978 for mounting the second of four attempts to win the America's Cup, the 1983 acclaim made his fall from grace a decade later that much steeper.
By 1992, Bond was bankrupt with personal debts totalling A$1.8bn ($1.4bn; £900m).
In 1997, he was convicted of fraud and imprisoned for four years after pleading guilty to using his controlling interest in a resources company to deceptively siphon off A$1.2bn into the coffers of Bond Corporation.
Thanks to other convictions and a dubious art deal - Bond bought Vincent van Gogh's renowned painting, Irises, for A$54m but art dealers said it was designed to artificially inflate values - he was labelled the biggest fraudster in Australian history.
Alan Bond was born on 22 April, 1938, the son of Frank and Kathleen Bond in London's Hammersmith. In 1950, the family emigrated to Australia.
Bond began his career as a sign writer but the small company he formed in 1959 - Bond Corporation - would eventually including brewing, gold mining, real estate and television assets.
In 1989, he established Australia's first private non-profit university, Bond University, on Queensland's Gold Coast.
For two decades he was one of Australia's best known businessmen but even before his convictions the viability of his investments was questioned.
After initially offering A$400m in 1987 to Australian media mogul Kerry Packer for Packer's nationwide Channel Nine television network, he ended up paying A$1bn for it.
When Bond went bankrupt, Packer made a handsome profit when he bought back the network for half that price. He famously quipped: "You only get one Alan Bond in your lifetime, and I've had mine."
'Model prisoner'
Despite his convictions, some remained fond of the businessman.
In an interview to mark the 30th anniversary of the 1983 America's Cup win, Mr Hawke said Australia owed Bond "a great deal of gratitude".
"The way he helped to lift the Australian spirit as a result of that great historic victory of 1983 was great for our country," Mr Hawke said.
"While he served and was found guilty appropriately, I like the way he faced up. He didn't, like others, try to run away. He was a model prisoner."
On 2 June, Bond underwent open heart surgery in Perth, to replace and repair his heart valves. There were complications and he was placed on life support and in an induced coma.
He died on 5 June aged 77. He is survived by his ex-wife Eileen and three of his children, John, Craig and Jody. | When Australia shocked the international yachting community in 1983 by winning the America's Cup, then Prime Minister Bob Hawke declared a public holiday and famously said: "Any boss who sacks anyone for not turning up today is a bum." | 33,017,598 | 773 | 54 | false |
Evalds gave the visitors the lead but Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook and Mark Percival went over to put Saints ahead.
Dominique Peyroux and Jonny Lomax both scored for Saints either side of the break but Evalds completed a hat-trick to inspire a Salford fightback.
However, Theo Fages and Kyle Amor combined to put the hosts out of sight.
Saints moved up to fourth in the Super League table after Hull FC beat Wigan, while Salford remain 10th.
Keiron Cunningham's side had lost 47-18 to Hull in the Challenge Cup on five days earlier but they scored six tries to defeat a resilient Salford.
Evalds' hat-trick clawed the score back to 22-20 after the break, but ex-Salford scrum-half Fages went over to ensure victory went to the hosts.
St Helens boss Keiron Cunningham:
"It was a really good performance and the final scoreline did not justify the game. We bombed a few chances but all credit to Salford, who showed a lot of resilience.
"This club has a prestigious affiliation with the Challenge Cup and we have been hurting deeply all week but this was the perfect response. The players worked their socks off and big Alex Walmsley was back to his best.
"Young Morgan Knowles gets better and better and skipper Jon Wilkin ran his blood to water, it was between him and Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook for man of the match.
"Our league form is pretty good and I am happy where we are heading. This game could quite easily have gone against us but we were the dominant team all night and deserved the win."
Salford Red Devils coach Ian Watson:
"We were on the rough end of some iffy decisions by the referee. I told him after the game I didn't think his performance was the best and he did not disagree.
"The Rugby League should not have put a young lad into a match like this. He was under pressure from the home crowd from the start."
"It was a good response to what happened last week but we were a bit tentative in the first 30 minutes but then played with more confidence.
"Niall Evalds has lost his first-team spot to Gareth O'Brien but is a real team player and happy to play anywhere we ask. He has applied himself brilliantly."
St Helens: Lomax; Swift, Dawson, Percival, Owens; Fages, Walsh; Tasi, Roby, Amor, Peyroux, Wilkin, McCarthy-Scarsbrook.

The Fermanagh rider crashed at the Isle of Man TT in June during Supersport practice suffering back, tailbone and finger fractures.
Despite little practice time since his crash, Johnston is targeting at least one win at Dundrod in two weeks time.
"You're wasting petrol and fuel and tyres if you're not going with winning in mind, you have to at least set that goal," Johnston said.
"If you turn up thinking you're only going to get top five then you're definitely not going to win."
Johnston will be riding the East Coast Racing Team Superstock and Superbike machinery and will join Bruce Anstey and Conor Cummins on the Padgett's Motorcycles team for the Supersport class.
"The good thing is I'm riding bikes that I know well which helps massively and I wouldn't be going at all if I didn't think I was going to be competitive.
"I might be a little bit rusty for the first couple of races until we get going again but the good thing about that is we have the Thursday racing to get back in the swing of it and then I'll be hopefully be ready for the Saturday."
Tries from Leroy Cudjoe and Lee Gaskell put the Giants ahead, with Danny Brough adding a drop goal, while John Bateman and Liam Marshall replied for Wigan.
Huddersfield's one-point half-time lead was wiped out as Marshall grabbed his second try of the night.
Jermaine McGillvary's try swung the game back in the Giants' favour, but Williams denied them victory.
Williams was just short with a drop-goal attempt from 60 metres with four minutes remaining, while Tommy Leuluai's attempt for Wigan in the last minute drifted just wide.
It was the second draw of the season between the two sides following their 16-16 stalemate at the DW Stadium in March.
Huddersfield are now unbeaten in the last four matches, but Wigan's recent struggles continue and they are now without a win in their last eight league games.
Earlier, the home side went ahead through Cudjoe when he found space down the right-hand side to drive through the Wigan defence and slide over, and Gaskell chased down Brough's kick to score their second.
Martyn Ridyard and Brough added the conversations, while the latter put over a drop goal, as Huddersfield opened up a 13-0 lead.
Wigan roared back into the game on the half-hour mark as Bateman scored under pressure, and Marshall touched down a grubber kick from Williams, who added the extras for the second time in four minutes.
Warriors overturned the home side's narrow one-point lead within three minutes of the restart as Marshall ran in acrobatically the left-hand side for his second try of the game to give Wigan the lead for the first time.
But McGillvary touched down on the right to give Giants the advantage, before Williams had the final word, with both teams remaining mid-table in Super League.
Huddersfield coach Rick Stone:
"I'm probably happy enough in the end. We had a good first 20 or 25 minutes and I thought we gave up that lead too easily through giving away too many penalties.
"There wasn't much in it in the second half. Both sides showed plenty of desperation, desire and willingness to take the points, which was good.
"We probably managed the game better than last week, but I'm pleased with the confidence we can take out of that to move on in the next couple of weeks."
Wigan boss Shaun Wane:
"It was not good enough. There were too many penalties and too many errors - we didn't give ourselves a chance to win.
"We still managed to stay in there and get a point and they are a very confident team at the moment. But overall I am not happy.
"We had our chances to win but giving away penalties on play five and dropping the ball on play one gave ourselves too much work. We are not going to get a win doing that."

The Mourne County led for most of the Parc na hEireann contest with Sands' second goal on the stroke of half-time putting Down 2-10 to 0-14 ahead.
Down extended their advantage in the second half to set up a semi-final against Antrim.
Wicklow will face Carlow in the other semi-final.
In ideal conditions, Portaferry clubman Sands registered Down's first green-flag after 20 minutes to hand his side a 1-8 to 0-8 lead.
London bounced back and held a one-point advantage approaching the interval, but Sands bagged his second goal just before the half-time whistle, and Down led 2-10 to 0-14 at the break.
A large number of wides cost London throughout this game, but just four points separated the sides after 53 minutes.
However, Down finished strongly with an inspirational Conor O'Prey point a feature of their final quarter.
The Exiles went into the Birmingham contest as favourites after hammering Roscommon last time out.
In contrast, Down had to battle to beat Roscommon 2-24 to 1-20 a week earlier.
However, Down were boosted by the return to action of Danny Toner after several weeks out because of injury.
Regular free-taker Paul Sheehan also returned to the starting line-up after manager Marty Mallon's decision to start Gareth Johnson in last weekend's 3-15 to 0-11 defeat by Antrim.
London avoided relegation from Division Two A of the League in the Spring as their draw against Armagh proved enough to keep them up on points difference.
Down were unable to muster a significant promotion challenge in the lower-tier Division Two B.
Meanwhile, Monaghan and Armagh secured places in the Nicky Rackard Cup semi-finals after respective wins over Donegal and Longford on Saturday.
Gerard Gilmore's goal helped Donegal take an early 1-5 to 0-3 lead but Fergal Rafter's nine points saw Monaghan fight back to win 1-16 to 1-12 at Inniskeen.
Fiachra Bradley, David Carvill, Ryan Gaffney and Conor Corvan netted for Armagh as they hammered Longford 4-20 to 0-12 at Crossmaglen.
Former Antrim star Liam Watson hit 3-10 for Warwickshire as they beat Fermanagh 6-16 to 3-9 in the Lory Meagher Cup at Enniskillen while Sligo eased past Cavan 1-20 to 0-9 at Breffni Park.

The fire burned around seven acres of land but, thankfully, no injuries were reported.
Fire crews in the state of Oregon managed to put out the blaze after about an hour.
They think it was caused by farming equipment cutting the field.

For the best part of 50 years Plaid have been hoping for a big breakthrough in industrial Wales, particularly the southern valleys.
Over the years there have been some close parliamentary by-elections, the odd assembly seat won and councils captured for single terms.
What has not happened is the sort of permanent political shift from Labour to Plaid that the party has yearned for for decades.
With Labour in meltdown, though, shouldn't the party be able to capitalise this time?
Probably not, if the polls are to be believed.
The problem may be that, in truth, there is very little difference between Plaid and Welsh Labour's offers to the voters.
While Plaid are, to use their campaign slogans, "Defending Wales", Labour are "Standing up for Wales".
On the key issue of Brexit, the two parties signed up to a common policy.
The real point of differentiation, of course, is independence - and there aren't that many people in Wales who think that's a good idea.
As in the local elections, Plaid could end up making gains this time.
As for that elusive breakthrough though, well, don't hold your breath.
Bankia also restated its results
- now saying it made a 2.98bn-euro loss for 2011 rather than the 309m euros in profit it announced in February.
Earlier on Friday, trading in Bankia shares was suspended on the Madrid stock exchange while its management put together a restructuring plan.
Bankia has already been bailed out because of its bad property loans.
After a meeting of the board on Friday, Bankia's parent Banco Financiero y de Ahorro (BFA) asked Spain's bank bailout fund, FROB, to inject the 19bn euros.
Bankia will then issue 12bn euros in capital that will be underwritten by BFA.
The bank said
that the "recapitalisation measures strengthen the group's solvency, liquidity and stability".
Rating agency Standard and Poor's has also lowered the credit rating of Bankia and four other Spanish banks.
Two weeks ago, Bankia had a 4.47bn-euro loan by the Spanish bailout fund converted into a 45% stake in the bank.
Bankia had to reassure its savers last week that their money was safe after a Spanish newspaper reported a run on the bank.
Bankia was created in 2010 from the merger of seven struggling regional savings banks. It holds 32bn euros in distressed property assets.
Its shares fell 7.4% on Thursday to close at 1.57 euros, which is 58% down from their listing price in July 2011.
There have been four attempts by Spanish governments to shore up the banking system since the global banking crisis of 2008.
As part of the latest plan, lenders are having to make 30bn euros of extra provisions to cover potential losses on property loans, which comes on top of 54bn euros they were ordered to set aside in February.
The health of Spain's banking system is key to whether the country eventually needs to seek a bailout itself from the eurozone and the International Monetary Fund.
Spain's credit rating was downgraded by S&P last month on the basis that it would probably have to take on more debt to support its banks.
Also on Friday, there were appeals for help from another Spanish institution - its wealthiest autonomous region, Catalonia.
"We need to make payments at the end of the month," said Catalan president Artur Mas. "Your economy can't recover if you can't pay your bills."
Catalonia represents one-fifth of the Spanish economy.
It has to take out 13bn euros of loans this year to refinance maturing debt, not to mention funding whatever deficit it has for the current year.
The regions have been having trouble borrowing money commercially, so the central government has given them a special credit facility from the Official Credit Institute (ICO).
Those credit lines run out in June and the government has said it will come up with a new mechanism to provide credit for the regions, but it is unclear what form the help should take.
The spending watchdog found the quality of the tests was also not improving despite more being done face-to-face.
Labour MP Meg Hillier, who chairs the public accounts committee, said the cost was "staggering" and sick and disabled people needed "a better deal".
The Department for Work and Pensions said the quality of tests had improved.
Health assessments for Employment and Support Allowance are carried out to assess people's capability for work.
They were brought in to reduce the number of claimants but the department has constantly struggled with delays and controversy with disability campaigners claiming they have led to rising suicide and depression rates.
Private provider Atos quit its contract in 2014 and was replaced last year by US firm Maximus.
The new contract requires an increased number of face-to-face assessments - with more staff needed to carry them out.
But the NAO said "recent performance shows the department [DWP] has not tackled - and may even have exacerbated" problems over waiting times and targets, and expected savings to the welfare budget had been reduced from £1.1bn over the next three years to £400m.
Key findings in the report said:
Despite increasing the size of its performance management team, the DWP "has not yet achieved value for money", the report said, "Overall it now expects to pay more for assessments, and is still not achieving volume and assessment report quality targets."
Dawn Amos was sent a letter telling her that she was not ill enough to qualify for attendance allowance on the day after doctors turned off her life support machine. She was 67 and had chronic lung disease.
Her husband Mick said her condition meant she could barely walk.
"She started off with a blockage in the leg. It didn't actually get worse for about a year so we thought if it's not getting worse we'll leave it alone. Then when it started getting worse she went to get something done about it.
"By the end she could only just get down to the bottom of the garden, about 45-50ft, and that was about it. She had to sit down before she could walk back. She couldn't even get to the shops on her own. How ill do you have to be?"
Ms Hillier said: "The department's approach has been unclear, its targets untested and consistently missed, and future delivery is under threat.
"With the annual cost of assessments now expected to rise to a staggering £579m in 2016-17, taxpayers have been left to foot the bill.
"The department needs to do more to ensure private providers deliver a better deal for sick and disabled people as assessments have a huge impact on their ability to access vital cash to live with dignity."
The head of the NAO, Amyas Morse, said the DWP had "addressed some of its immediate operational issues in managing contracted-out health and disability assessments".
But he said the government needed to "take action to break a perpetuating cycle of optimistic targets, contractual underperformance and costly recovery".
The DWP said it had reached the best possible deal for new tests following a "strict competitive contract tendering process" and that the extra costs had been taken into account. "This also ensures that the quality of the assessments for claimants improves at the same time," a spokesman said.
"We are determined to support more people into work and provide individuals who can't with the correct support that they need - the effective assessment of people's abilities is key to this."
Shadow minister for disabled people, Debbie Abrahams, said the report exposed a "shambles", adding "too many disabled people have been badly let down by these assessments".
And Dan Scorer, head of policy at the charity Mencap, said "people with a learning disability who rely on the support from benefits are still suffering from a system that fails to help the people it is designed for".
It beat off stiff competition from Linwood, Gourock and Auchterarder to scoop the title at the Scottish Urban Regeneration Forum awards ceremony in Glasgow on Tuesday.
Hazel Cross, from Fife Council, who helped make changes, accepted the award on behalf of the town.
Brian Schultz from Lochgelly Community Council said he was "overwhelmed".
Mr Schultz said: "I'm absolutely delighted that Lochgelly, and the hard work of all of the organisations and volunteers in Lochgelly, is finally getting the recognition it deserves as Lochgelly is a fantastic town that is always improving."
Ms Cross said: "Lochgelly has been on a journey of people and place and the collaborative working over a number of years has helped change the face of Lochgelly by improving the towns assets, creating new housing, leisure and business opportunities.
"The Lochgelly community is strong and determined and have delivered a range of community led projects throughout the town over the years and I know Lochgelly will continue to be successful."

In a report, they highlight continuing, persistent underachievement by working-class Protestant children, and wider male underachievement in education.
They also say that "prejudice-based bullying is a persistent problem".
They say the inequalities "have worsened over time" and have called for them to be addressed as a matter of urgency by government.
The commission's Draft Statement on Key Inequalities in Education is their assessment of inequalities faced by those in education in Northern Ireland.
The report also points out that while overall levels of educational attainment are increasing, "many inequalities remain persistent and hard to tackle".
The EC published a statement on inequality in Northern Ireland in 2007, and the current report measures progress, or lack of it, since then in education.
They commissioned independent experts from Queen's University to carry out the research.
Dr Michael Wardlow, chief commissioner of the Equality Commission, said that many children in Northern Ireland continue to experience persistent inequalities because of barriers linked to disability, gender, religion and their socio-economic background.
"We've known for a long time that while the education system in Northern Ireland works well for many of our young people, for too long, significant numbers of pupils have struggled to fulfil their potential as a result of that same system," he said.
"Identifying and highlighting these inequalities is only the first step. These educational fault-lines must be followed by action."
The report also claimed some students would not study at certain university and college campuses due to their political beliefs.
Researchers interviewed one unionist and one republican student group.
The republican group claimed they would not consider studying at Stranmillis University College and said they did not think Protestants would study at St Mary's University College.
However, the report admits there is no data to back up that claim.
Stormont education minister John O'Dowd said: "Over the last 10 years, there have been policies introduced which are beginning to show change, but there's a long tale of underachievement here for many reasons which we need to tackle.
"We need the community to involve themselves, and we need community activists and politicians to stand up and admit there's something wrong."

The pair's first child is due in the next two weeks and the Briton went to the airport soon after his straight-sets defeat by Novak Djokovic.
"I'm proud I got into this position," said the world number two, who suffered his fifth final defeat in Melbourne.
"I'm just quite looking forward to getting home now."
Murray, 28, was beaten 6-1 7-5 7-6 (7-3) by world number one Djokovic, who claimed his sixth Australian Open title, tying the record of Australia's Roy Emerson.
"Regardless of today's result, it's been hard," added Murray, who thanked his wife for allowing him to play in Melbourne.
"Had I lost in the third or fourth round, it still would have been difficult with everything that happened, but she's been amazing and handled everything unbelievably well.
"I have to thank her for allowing me to play and stay here with everything that was going on. It was tough."
There was an added incentive to return home early when his father-in-law Nigel Sears, who coaches Ana Ivanovic, collapsed while watching the Serb at Melbourne Park.
"It was the closest I've been to leaving a Grand Slam," said Murray. "It was a tough couple of days, but thankfully he's fine now."
The Scot left Rod Laver Arena with the local time past 23:00 to carry out his media duties, before heading for the airport.
"It feels like for five days I've been held on almost every single flight," he said. "The first one out of here, I'm leaving."
Murray earned the unenviable record of becoming only the second player since tennis turned professional in 1968 to finish runner-up at the same Grand Slam five times.
While the Scot made early errors, world number one Djokovic raced into a 5-0 lead and would never relinquish control of the match. The Serb moves level with Australian Rod Laver and Bjorn Borg of Sweden on 11 Grand Slam titles.
"I started the last couple of matches quite slowly," he said. "I think understandably in some respects.
"Obviously it's not good to begin matches like that against someone like Novak, but I'm proud of the way I fought and managed to get myself back into the match and create chances for myself."
The former Wimbledon and US Open champion has now lost 11 of his past 12 matches against 28-year-old Djokovic.
"I don't know how far off I was tonight," said Murray.
"The first set, I wasn't there, but the second and third sets I do think were very close. I do think I could have played a bit better.
"Most of the matches we've played in Slams, I think, have been competitive. Whether that looks the same from the outside or not, I don't know."
Russell Fuller, BBC tennis correspondent
"Allowing Djokovic a 6-1 head start is like giving Usain Bolt a 10m start in a 100m sprint.
"Djokovic played another immaculate first set but Murray was very sluggish and only discovered his best when he went a break down midway through the second set.
"Murray attacked gloriously and his net play become more of a threat as he broke back and got to within two points of squaring the match.
"But Djokovic did not offer any encouragement. He was again magnificent all night long - too consistent and too strong for even the second best player in the world."
Cosmology theory predicts that galaxies are embedded in a cosmic web of "stuff", most of which is dark matter.
Astronomers obtained the first direct images of a part of this network, by exploiting the fact that a luminous object called a quasar can act as a natural "cosmic flashlight".
Details of the work appear in the journal Nature.
The quasar illuminates a nearby gas cloud measuring two million light-years across.
And the glowing gas appears to trace out filaments of underlying dark matter.
The quasar, which lies 10 billion light-years away, shines light in just the right direction to reveal the cold gas cloud.
For some years, cosmologists have been running computer simulations of the structure of the universe to build the "standard model of cosmology".
They use the cosmic microwave background, corresponding to observations of the very earliest Universe that can be seen, and recorded by instruments such as the Planck space observatory, as a starting point.
Their calculations suggest that as the Universe grows and forms, matter becomes clustered in filaments and nodes under the force of gravity, like a giant cosmic web.
The new results from the 10-metre Keck telescope in Hawaii, are reported by scientists from the University of California, Santa Cruz and the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg.
They are the first direct observations of cold gas decorating such cosmic web filaments.
The cosmic web suggested by the standard model is mainly made up of mysterious "dark matter". Invisible in itself, dark matter still exerts gravitational forces on visible light and ordinary matter nearby.
Massive clumps of dark matter bend light that passes close by through a process called gravitational lensing, and this had allowed previous measurements of its distribution.
But it is difficult to use this method to see very distant dark matter, and cold ordinary matter remains tricky to detect as well.
The glowing hydrogen illuminated by the distant quasar in these new observations traces out an underlying filament of dark matter that it is attracted to it by gravity, according to the researchers' analysis.
"This is a new way to detect filaments. It seems that they have a very bright quasar in a rare geometry," Prof Alexandre Refregier of the ETH Zurich, who was not involved in the work, told BBC News.
"If indeed gravity is doing the work in an expanding Universe, we expect to see a cosmic web and it is important to detect this cosmic web structure."
He added: "What is expected is that the dark matter dominates the mass and forms these structures, and then the ordinary matter, the gas, the stars and everything else trace the filaments and structures that are defined by the dynamics of the dark matter."
"Filaments have been detected indirectly before using gravitational lensing, which allows us to see the distribution of the dark matter.
"Part of the ordinary matter has formed stars, which we can see, but another component is the gas. If the gas is very hot it emits X-rays and can be seen using X-ray telescopes. Other techniques to detect cooler gas now include the method described here."
How close are we to finding dark matter?
Sebastiano Cantalupo, lead author of the article, and others have used the same method previously to look for glowing gas around quasars, and had seen dark galaxies.
"The dark galaxies are much denser and smaller parts of the cosmic web. In this new image, we also see dark galaxies, in addition to the much more diffuse and extended nebula," Dr Cantalupo, from UCSC, explained.
"Some of this gas will fall into galaxies, but most of it will remain diffuse and never form stars.
"The light from the quasar is like a flashlight beam, and in this case we were lucky that the flashlight is pointing toward the nebula and making the gas glow. We think this is part of a filament that may be even more extended than this, but we only see the part of the filament that is illuminated by the beamed emission from the quasar."
While the observations support the cosmological simulations' general picture of a cosmic web of filamentary structures, the researchers' results suggest around 10 times more gas in the nebula than predicted from typical computer simulations.
They postulate that this may simply be due to limitations in the spatial resolution of the current models, or, more interestingly perhaps, may be because the current grid-based models are missing some aspect of the underlying physics of how galaxies form, evolve, and interact with quasars.
"We now have very precise measurements of the amount of ordinary matter and dark matter in the Universe," said Prof Refregier.
"We can only observe a fraction of the ordinary matter, so the question is what form the remainder takes. These results may imply that a lot of it is in the form detected here."
Theresa May intends to establish an offence of "illicit enrichment" for cases where a public official's assets have increased significantly without satisfactory explanation.
It is part of a wider shake-up of measures to tackle money laundering.
But Mrs May said it was not a "knee-jerk" reaction to the Panama Papers.
She said the economy was "at risk of being undermined" by money laundering, illicit finance and the funding of terrorism.
Her new proposals - subject to a six-week consultation period being launched in the Commons later - plan to give the civil courts powers to impose new "unexplained wealth orders".
They would force suspected money launderers to declare their wealth, and those who fail to satisfy authorities will face having their property and cash seized.
The government described the plans as "aggressive" and "the most significant change to the UK's anti-money laundering and terrorist finance regime in over a decade".
Mrs May said: "The laundering of proceeds of crime through UK institutions is not only a financial crime, it fuels political instability around the world, supports terrorists and extremism and poses a direct and immediate threat to our domestic security and our overseas interests.
"We will forge a new partnership with industry to improve suspicious activity reporting, deliver deeper information-sharing and take joint action on enforcement.
"And we will act vigorously against the criminals and terrorists responsible, to protect the security and prosperity of our citizens, and safeguard the integrity of Britain's financial economy."
Under the reforms a new administrative power to designate an entity as being "of money laundering concern" is also being considered.
This would require those in the "regulated" sector - such as banks, legal and accountancy firms - to take "special measures" when dealing with them.
In October last year an official national risk assessment said that taken as a whole, money laundering "represents a significant threat to the UK's national security".
In November the anti-corruption body Transparency International UK said billions of pounds of "dirty cash" was entering Britain every year.
Reacting to the new proposals, the organisation's executive director Robert Barrington said: "There are some excellent ideas here, but the proof of the pudding will be in whether they are put into action.
"The powers that are envisaged could make a real difference and, while it is important they are properly debated in Parliament to allay any concerns over civil liberties, it is equally important that they are not watered down by self-interested lobbying during the consultation process."
A Vegas ice hockey team will play in the 2017-18 season subject to billionaire businessman Bill Foley's ownership group paying the $500m (£340m) expansion fee.
"This is a great day for the people of Las Vegas and it is extremely exciting to deliver the city's first major league sports team," said Foley.
Vegas will be the NHL's 31st franchise.
It is the NHL's first expansion team since the Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild came into the league in the 2000-01 season.
NHL (National Hockey League) Commissioner Gary Bettman said an application from Quebec City had been deferred due to the "state and volatility of the Canadian dollar".
Las Vegas will play its home games at T-Mobile Arena, which opened in April, staging Amir Khan's middleweight title defeat against Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez last month.
It is located just west of the famed Las Vegas Strip, with a capacity of over 17,000 for hockey matches, and Las Vegas has said it has already received more than 14,000 deposits for season tickets.
Ibrahim Halawa, now 21, from Dublin, was arrested when he was 17 during a siege at the Al-Fath mosque in Cairo in 2013.
He has been accused, along with more than 400 others, of inciting violence, riot and sabotage.
The trial has been adjourned until 9 May.
Irish Foreign Affairs Minister Charlie Flanagan said there was some indication that the trial of Mr Halawa was "progressing".
"The Irish Embassy in Cairo has been closely monitoring this trial since it began," he said.
"The relatively short adjournment period and the progress in recent hearings in terms of witness testimony are indications of momentum in the trial process, which is to be welcomed after a very difficult and frustrating period of over three years.
"My expectation now is that the trial will move towards a conclusion. It is important that there should be no further delays in the process.
"The government, my own Department of Foreign Affairs and our embassy in Cairo will continue to monitor all developments in relation to Ibrahim Halawa's case and his health and welfare, which remain matters of the utmost concern.
"We will continue to provide every possible consular assistance to Ibrahim Halawa and his family. A further consular visit will be undertaken by the embassy to Ibrahim Halawa in the coming days."
Earlier this month, the Irish government arranged for a doctor to visit the Dubliner in jail following concerns about his health.
He has staged a series of hunger strikes in protest at being imprisoned without trial for over three years.
Last month, his lawyer said he was so weak that jail staff used a wheelchair to take him to family visits.
Mr Halawa is the son of the most senior Muslim cleric in the Republic of Ireland.
He was arrested with three of his sisters in Cairo in 2013.
The women were released after three months, but their younger brother remained in jail.
Amnesty International said it continued to be "gravely concerned" for Mr Halawa's physical and mental health.
"We reiterate our call on the Egyptian authorities to drop all charges against him and for his immediate and unconditional release," said Colm O'Gorman from Amnesty International Ireland.
"We also urge the Irish government to continue working on his behalf and to use every means at their disposal to secure his release.
"Amnesty has conducted a thorough, independent review of the prosecution evidence and concluded that he was arrested solely for peacefully exercising his right to freedom of assembly and expression."
Operators of such discounted tours try to recoup costs by pressuring tourists to buy goods at selected stores.
Police said the victim, 54, intervened when a fellow tourist got into a fight with a tour guide after refusing to buy anything at a jewellery shop.
At least four people have been arrested and the Hong Kong Tourist Board (HKTB) expressed regret over the incident.
"The HKTB has zero tolerance for any act that impacts the hospitable image of Hong Kong, particularly acts of violence," it said in a statement.
The victim, a male building contractor from north-east China, was found lying unconscious outside the shop in Kowloon on Monday morning.
He tried to mediate in a fight between two women - believed to be the tour leader and one of the tourists - before he and the female tourist were attacked by a group of men who dragged them onto the street and beat them, police said
The two women, aged 32 and 53, have been arrested, along with two men, one a 44-year-old Hong Kong resident and the other a 32-year-old mainlander. Police say they are still searching for two other suspects.
On the mainland the man's death prompted calls for a boycott of travel to Hong Kong.
China has introduced measures aimed at stopping the practice of forced shopping, but they have had little effect.
Tensions between Hong Kongers and mainland Chinese have been rising as the number of mainland visitors has increased.
The visitors have driven a tourism boom - but local residents blame mainlanders for pushing up prices.
They also resent what they see as mainlanders' coarse behaviour, such as eating on the subway and blocking pavements with oversized suitcases.
China's National Tourism Administration has urged Hong Kong authorities to protect mainland tourists' rights.
Hussain Hussain, 19, stabbed Antoin Akpom, 20, with a kitchen knife after a confrontation in Kent Street last year.
Mr Justice Griffith-Williams said the killing was the result of gang-related violence and told the Somali refugee he must serve at least 15 years.
The jury at Stafford Crown Court failed to reach a verdict on a second 19-year-old, Abdul Hakim, who denied murder.
A decision on whether Mr Hakim will face a retrial will be made in the next two weeks.
The trial had earlier been told that Hussain, of no fixed address, stabbed father-of-one Mr Akpom with the 10-inch blade because he "feared for his life".
The jury saw CCTV footage from the Kent Street area of the city showing Mr Akpom getting out of a car to confront Hussain.
Mr Akpom could be seen running towards a gym before returning, followed by a group of up to nine people.
In sentencing Hussain, the judge said the stabbing was "offending arising out of postcode gang rivalry in which you were steeped".
And he added, whatever the failures of Mr Akpom, there was a "good positive side to him" and nothing could justify taking his life.
Mr Akpom's mother, Cheryl Armatrading, read a victim impact statement to the court and described how her son's murder had devastated the family.
She said: "The devastation of Antoin's death is beyond comparison to anything that we, as a family, has ever experienced.
"This has resulted in stress, sleepness nights, fear, anxiousness and feeling insecure.
"I feel pain like never before. It feels like I've been torn to shreds and my insides all knotted.
"Antoin's fiancee, Amber, has lost the financial support and sense of security of Antoin.
"There has been an even greater impact on his one-year-old son who will never be able to share those loving moments, guidance and counselling his father would have given him."
He rose to international fame as the architect of the main government buildings in the futuristic Brazilian capital, Brasilia, inaugurated in 1960.
He also worked with Swiss-born modernist architect Le Corbusier on the UN building in New York.
He continued to work on new projects until earlier this year.
Obituary: Oscar Niemeyer
In pictures: Curvy works
He died on Wednesday at a hospital in Rio de Janeiro.
A memorial service will be held in the presidential palace in Brasilia on Thursday.
Niemeyer's family was informed of the honour in a phone call from President Dilma Rousseff.
"Brazil has lost today one of its geniuses, It is a day to lament his death. It is a day to acclaim his life."
Rio de Janeiro's Mayor Eduardo Paes has declared three days of mourning in Niemeyer's home city.
It is thought he will be buried there on Friday.
Oscar Niemeyer started his career in the 1930s, when Brazil was still copying neoclassical European architecture and designing ornate palace-like buildings.
His bold futuristic designs in Brasilia made the new capital a dramatic statement of confidence in the future of Brazil, and an icon of modern architecture.
A student of Le Corbusier, he developed a distinctive style defined by stark concrete and sweeping curves.
He famously once said the stylised swoops in his buildings were inspired by the curves of Brazilian women.
"When you have a large space to conquer, the curve is the natural solution," he said.
"I once wrote a poem about the curve. The curve I find in the mountains of my country, in the sinuousness of its rivers, in the waves of the ocean and on the body of the beloved woman."
A firm communist - and a personal friend of Cuban leader Fidel Castro - Niemeyer left the country during Brazil's military dictatorship and forged an international career in France.
In 1988, he was awarded the prestigious Pritzker Prize.
Architecture is a profession where you need a long period of apprenticeship. You never stop learning, this is something that Niemeyer kept saying. And I think he learned until the end, he was that kind of person.
As an architect you have to be a sociologist, you have to be a builder, you have to be a scientist, you have to be a poet. And to learn to do all those things well takes time. He was one of those people proving this. It was about integrity. In some ways he was more of a moral example, an example of life.
He was also very concerned about political life, and architecture is political in some ways. In the sense of doing things that belonged to the civic life of people in the city. Architecture is the art of making cities not just making buildings. He was a good example of how architecture can be a noble job, a civilised job.
British architect Lord Norman Foster, who designed London's Gherkin tower and the dome on the Reichstag building in Berlin, described Niemeyer as an "inspiration" who "stood accepted wisdom on its head".
Recounting how the two had met in Rio last year, he said: "It seems absurd to describe a 104 year old as youthful, but his energy and creativity were an inspiration."
"He told me that architecture is important, but that life is more important. And yet in the end his architecture is his ultimate legacy.
"Like the man himself, it is eternally youthful - he leaves us with a source of delight and inspiration for many generations to come."
However, Niemeyer's style was not to everyone's taste, and for a communist some people say his work was not very people-friendly - focusing more on the architecture's form than on its inhabitants or functionality.
He went on to create more than 600 buildings around the world. His legacy endures in museums, monuments, schools and churches in Brazil and beyond.
Many of the designs were initially sketched on a table overlooking his beloved Rio de Janeiro and its famous Copacabana beach, replete with the women, waves and hills from which he drew such inspiration.
The idea is from a project in Finland where reindeer antlers were painted.
Blue paint has been placed on privately-owned ponies to see how durable it is, with reflective beads to be added to the paint later.
Conservationists said motorists would not see the animal, but an "alien glow" which should slow them down.
The Dartmoor Livestock Protection Society (DLPS) scheme has been backed by the national park authority.
Karla McKechnie, livestock protection officer for DLPS, said about 60 animals had been killed on the roads across the moor so far this year, an increase on previous years.
She took the Finnish idea to a south-west manufacturer, from where she got complementary tins of paint to test its durability on the animals' coats.
She said two ponies have been painted and the reflective beads could be put on animals on the moor within months.

Bosses plan to paint the livestock along their sides and above their bottoms and tails, "really to get as much on as possible", she said.
Ms McKechnie said it was "early days, but the trial was going well".
"Motorists will not be able to tell it's an animal, they'll just see this alien glow, which might be able to reduce the speed of these motorists," she added.
The charity, which plans to fund the project, although the exact cost is yet to be calculated, helps ponies, sheep and cattle on the moors.
Rob Steemson, Dartmoor National Park's head ranger, said the authority "fully supports the project to reduce the number of road deaths".
"These horrible incidents would not happen if motorists drove with greater care and anticipated that Dartmoor grazing stock regularly wander on to the roads."
Over four decades, men's champions have morphed from lean endurance sportsmen to brawny power-trained athletes, the Wolverhampton University pair say.
According to them, bulk gives a competitive edge for stronger shots.
It suggests Andy Murray has a good chance of winning the contest again.
But so too does Novak Djokovic.
The researchers studied the physique of players in grand slam tournaments.
Across the majors they looked at - the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open from 1982 to 2011 - a trend emerged in the male players who reached round three or more of the tournaments.
Over time, the players have become heavier and more muscular.
And the amount of muscle a player has appears to boost his chances of winning.
The researchers, Prof Alan Nevill and PhD student Adam Gale-Watts, found a significantly steeper rise in body mass (muscle rather than fat) of the most successful players compared with less successful ones.
The rise began in the 1980s, speeding up in the 1990s and peaking around 2009 - the year when Scottish player Andy Murray was seeded world number two.
At the same time, leanness of players declined, they report in the European Journal of Sports Science.
Prof Nevill says: "Four decades ago, tennis players were quite lean and thin. But they've got more muscle now.
"If you look at Andy Murray at the age of 17, he was quite a skinny little lad.
"He's bulked up since then, and I think that's been the secret of his success over the last four to five years."
Prof Nevill says high levels of muscle mass and low levels of body fat afford competitive advantage, meaning players can generate greater power behind shots, while being speedy and agile on the court.
But he says there may be a trade-off - putting in long hours in the gym and on court can lead to injuries.
Both Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray have experienced periods of injury in recent years, although both appear on top form for this year's Wimbledon contest.
Prof Nevill says his money is on Djokovic to win.
But he adds: "Murray might get to the final again. I hope so anyway."
The researchers did not study female tennis players, but Prof Nevill suspects the game is slightly different for women.
He says: "Serena Williams is a very powerful lady, and some of the other ladies can't survive on a court with her because of the power.
"But it's a balance between skill and power, and the skill factor in ladies' tennis is probably slightly higher."
The researchers have also studied what might be the perfect physique for other sports.
And when it comes to sprinting and football, it would appear being lean wins the day.

Around 600 out of 5,100 homes have been built on Priors Hall Park in Corby since 2010, but its developers and landowner are in administration.
One home owner said the site - once promoted in an advert voiced by broadcaster Sandi Toksvig - was an "expensive disappointment".
Administrators Deloitte confirmed a new investor was being sought.
The Priors Hall Park website promises an "attractive setting" and "superb rural walks through the rolling Northamptonshire countryside", which it re-branded as North Londonshire.
A radio advert, voiced by Ms Toksvig, described it as "a friendly place to bring up the kids".
"If you think you've grown out of London, see how you could grow into North Londonshire," it said.
Hughie Coull has lived at Priors Hall for five years. He said: "It looked nice and I thought there'd be country walks, a pub, shops and play areas for the kids but we've got nothing."
Another home owner, Julie McCallum, said: "When I look at the advert now it actually makes me laugh.
"It cost us a lot of money to move. What we thought we were buying and what we actually got were two very different things.
"It's been an expensive disappointment for us".
Corby Developments Limited and BeLa Partnership Limited called in Deloitte last October.
A spokesman for Deloitte, said: "We appreciate that some residents are frustrated by the progress of some of the amenities promised by the developers.
"We can confirm that material progress is being made, particularly in respect of the community centre and the district centre.
"House builders are continuing to build, house sales remain strong and the estates team is busy maintaining the site.
"We are now working to find a new investor to complete the development and have already had significant interest."
The man was found in northern suburb of the city, after police released a grainy CCTV image of a person of interest.
The driver fled the scene after Friday's attack on a busy shopping street in the city centre.
Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven has called it a terrorist attack.
More than a dozen people were injured.
The country's borders have been tightened at the prime minister's request.
People filmed fleeing the scene of the lorry attack
Eyewitness: 'I heard the screams'
The lorry crashed into the front of Ahlens department store in the middle of the afternoon on Drottninggatan (Queen Street), one of the city's major pedestrian thoroughfares.
The beer company that owns the vehicle said it was hijacked outside a nearby restaurant, where it was making a delivery.
Police shared the image of the man, dressed in a hooded jacket, early on Friday evening.
They confirmed a man resembling him was arrested in the Marsta area.
"We have investigated several people this evening, who we found interesting in one way or another, and recently we arrested someone we are very interested in," said police investigator Jan Evensson, referring to the Marsta arrest.
Central Stockholm was in lockdown after the incident.
In the immediate aftermath, shoppers took refuge in nearby buildings for hours, waiting for the area to be secured.
The central station, which is near the Ahlens store, was evacuated.
The metro, central roads and various bus lines were also shut.
City authorities made several spaces, including a number of schools, available as temporary accommodation for those who could not get home because of transport disruptions.
Eyewitnesses described horrifying scenes outside the store, as bodies and injured people lay on the ground.
In a speech on Friday night, Prime Minister Lofven said Swedish values of democracy and freedom would not be "undermined by hatred".
Ms Dugdale is battling Ken Macintosh for the top Scottish Labour job.
She told the BBC that she and Mr Corbyn belonged to a party that was a "big family in a broad movement".
However, in a Guardian newspaper interview she had questioned the MP's chances of becoming prime minister.
The 33-year-old made her position clear by saying: "I think that I and Jeremy Corbyn share the same views when it comes to trying to build a fairer more equal economy, in trying to build a welfare state in a system that is fair and protects people who need our help."

Ms Dugdale recognised that Mr Corbyn - who is hoping to beat rival MPs Yvette Cooper, Liz Kendall and Andy Burnham - had a "tremendous amount of support".
She said he was offering "straight-talking, honest politics".
During her interview with BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme, Ms Dugdale defended the newspaper piece in which she said she would need to be convinced that Mr Corbyn, who has defied the party whip 500 times, could be prime minister.
The MSP said all she had done was "ask the question", adding that it was "hardly the most critical thing anybody has said about his campaign".
Ms Dugdale said she was looking forward to meeting Mr Corbyn later in the week when he will visit Scotland as part of his leadership push.
The politician, who became an MSP in 2011, believed she was the right person to lead the party north of the border.
She said: "Scotland has an exciting future and the Labour Party has got a big part to play in that and I am going to earn the right to be heard for our party going forward and try and bring people back by setting out our values."
Ms Dugdale said she was not a tribal politician and had worked with the SNP in the past.
The winner of the Scottish Labour leadership election will be announced at an event in Stirling on Saturday.
He was released from Long Lartin prison, in Worcestershire. He has spent most of the last 10 years in custody.
A UK court approved his appeal against deportation after deciding witness evidence obtained by torture might be used at trial in Jordan.
The government believes the wrong legal test was applied and is to appeal.
"We had received a number of assurances from the Jordanian government - they had even changed their constitution," a spokesman for Prime Minister David Cameron said.
By Dominic CascianiHome affairs correspondent
Abu Qatada has lived in the UK for almost 20 years - and he might be here a few more yet because the legal roadblock on deportation is very difficult to remove.
Judges say there is a real risk that the preacher's retrial in Jordan would be unfair because it would include incriminating statements made by men who were tortured by the secret police.
They want to see either an unambiguous change to Jordan's criminal court code to exclude such material, or a ruling by its higher courts to the same effect.
So there is little prospect of Abu Qatada being deported unless the home secretary can convince Jordan to change or convince the UK's Court of Appeal that Siac got the law wrong.
If either of those routes were successful - and that's a very big "if" - it wouldn't end there. The cleric could ask the European Court of Human Rights to examine what Jordan is saying - something that could take years.
"We believe that we have got the right assurances from the Jordanian government."
He added: "The Home Office will be ensuring that we take all the steps necessary to ensure that Qatada does not present a risk to national security."
Jordan's acting information minister Nayef al-Fayez told the BBC his government shared UK authorities' disappointment at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (Siac) ruling on Monday.
When Abu Qatada arrived back at his home in London, around lunchtime on Tuesday, a small group of protesters - holding a "get rid of Abu Qatada placard" - gathered outside and chanted, "Out, out, out."
Earlier this year, judges at the European Court in Strasbourg ruled the cleric - whose real name is Omar Othman - would not face ill-treatment if returned to Jordan, citing assurances outlined in a UK-Jordan agreement.
Crucially, however, the judge did not believe he would get a fair trial because a Jordanian court could use evidence against Abu Qatada that had been obtained from the torture of others.
On Monday, despite the UK obtaining additional assurances from Jordan, Siac chairman Mr Justice Mitting ruled he was not satisfied Abu Qatada would be tried fairly.
Speaking to ITV's Daybreak, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said: "He should not be in this country, he is a dangerous person. He wanted to inflict harm on our country and this coalition governs lived in the UK for almost 20 years - and he might be here a few more yet because the legal roadblock on deportation is very difficult to remove.
Judges say there is a real risk that the preacher's retrial in Jordan would be unfair because it would include incriminating statements made by men who were tortured by the secret police.
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said people would be "horrified that Abu Qatada is now out on Britain's streets rather than on a plane", and that government efforts to secure his deportation had "clearly failed".
"Home Office ministers should be setting off to Jordan straight away to discuss what additional action would get this sorted out. The Jordanian government have already been very helpful so ministers should act fast," she said.
David Anderson QC, the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation, told the BBC: "The key to this case really lies in Jordan.
"What the judge said, what the court said in terms, was that a simple amendment to the Jordanian criminal code so as to remove an ambiguity that is in it at the moment ought to suffice to make deportation possible," he told Radio 4's Today programme.
Home affairs committee chairman Keith Vaz said the visit to the UK of the king of Jordan later this month gave the government "an opportunity to try and persuade him to go that little bit further in terms of the way the criminal code of Jordan operates".
The case had cost taxpayers £1m, he said.
Human rights lawyer Julian Knowles said the case would bring "another year's worth of UK litigation at least".
"And then if Abu Qatada is the loser at the end of the domestic phase, he can then go back to the European Court," he said.
Speaking in the Commons after Abu Qatada's release, Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said he was "frustrated" by international court rulings that had led to Monday's decision.
"I do not believe it was ever the intention of those who created the human rights framework that we are currently subject to, that people who have an avowed intent to damage this country should be able to use human rights laws to prevent their deportation back to their country of origin," he added.
On the question of why Abu Qatada had never been prosecuted in the UK, Lib Dem peer Lord Macdonald - director of public prosecutions from 2003 to 2008 - said he had never been shown any evidence to support a criminal prosecution.
"If there isn't any evidence in existence at the moment, it's a little difficult to see how now, 10 years later, anyone is going to be able to acquire any," he told Radio 4's The World At One.
The bail conditions imposed by Mr Justice Mitting on Abu Qatada include being allowed out of his house only between 08:00 and 16:00, having to wear an electronic tag, and being restricted in whom he meets.
Abu Qatada faces a retrial in Jordan for allegedly conspiring to cause explosions on Western and Israeli targets in 1998 and 1999. He was found guilty of terrorism offences in his absence in Jordan in 1999.
The Palestinian-born Jordanian has been described as the spiritual leader of the mujahideen. Security chiefs believe he played a key ideological role in spreading support for suicide bombings.
"We also have other things as well and will use them if necessary," the Russian president said.
Mr Putin was speaking a day after the UN Security Council endorsed a peace plan for the war-torn nation, including calls for a ceasefire.
The Syrian war, heading into its fifth year, has killed more than 250,000 people and displaced millions more.
The resolution, passed unanimously by the UN Security Council, sets out a timetable for formal talks and a unity government within six months,
However, the resolution makes no mention of the future role of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Western countries have called for his departure, but Russia and China say he should not be required to leave power as a precondition for peace talks.
Where key countries stand
Russia - a key ally of the Syrian president - has previously blocked resolutions critical of Mr Assad at the UN Security Council and has continued to supply weapons to the Syrian military despite international criticism.
In September Russian forces began launching air strikes against rebels, saying the so-called Islamic State (IS) and "all terrorists" were targets. However, Western-backed groups were reported to have been hit.
The resolution passed at the UN in New York on Friday foresees talks between the Syrian government and opposition in early January.
The plan sets out a timetable for UN-supervised elections within 18 months, and stresses that the Syrian people will decide the future of their country.
The plan also calls for a ceasefire, but there is also disagreement over which armed groups should be designated as terrorists and consequently excluded from any talks or ceasefire.
Actions against groups considered terrorist organisations would not be affected, allowing Russian, French and US air strikes against Islamic State to continue.
The agreement demands that all parties cease attacks against civilians.

Evans, the British number two, was beaten 6-2 6-3 by South Africa's seventh seed Kevin Anderson.
British number three Ward later went down 7-5 6-3 to Bulgarian fourth seed Grigor Dimitrov.
Andy Murray begins his title defence against Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu on Wednesday.
Evans, who beat Austria's world number 51 Jurgen Melzer in the first round on Monday, struggled to make an impact against the big serving of 6ft 8in Anderson and went out in 65 minutes.
An early break of serve put the South African in charge and when he moved 4-2 ahead in the second set, there was no way back for the Briton.
"I didn't get a chance to play tennis, really," said world number 139 Evans, who is targeting a good performance at Eastbourne next week to improve his ranking.
"Next week is a pretty big week. Smaller draw, more ranking points. That's the week you're going to pick up your points."
Evans, 24, added that he was confident he could see off the potential threat of Aljaz Bedene, the Slovenian-born player who hopes to qualify for Britain next year, to his Davis Cup place.
Evans is currently ranked seven places below Bedene, but believes he is "a better player" than the London-based 24-year-old.
"I have nothing against him. I just wouldn't do it personally," Evans added. "He's a nice guy. He's played Davis Cup for a different country. I just don't think it would be right if he played Davis Cup for our country."
Ward set up a meeting with Dimitrov after a 7-5 6-4 win against Slovenia's Blaz Rola on Monday.
The 27-year-old produced a gallant display against the world number 13 but was undone after losing his serve at crucial moments in each set.
Unseeded Australian Marinko Matosevic caused an upset as he beat ninth seed Marin Cilic, the 2012 champion and 2013 runner-up, 6-4 6-4.
Matosevic was asked afterwards what he thought about Murray's decision to work with Amelie Mauresmo, and said: "For me, I couldn't do it since I don't think that highly of the women's game. But his mum coached him, and she did a great job with him."
Mauresmo arrived at Queen's Club on Tuesday ahead of starting work as the new coach of Wimbledon champion Murray.
The 34-year-old Frenchwoman's appointment, initially for the grass-court season, was announced on Sunday.
British number one Murray practised at Queen's on Tuesday morning with Bedene. Dani Vallverdu, Murray's long-time assistant coach, oversaw the session along with fitness trainer Matt Little.
Mohammed Mayow, 23, of Dorest Avenue, Hayes, west London, was jailed for five years and two months on Friday after previously admitting distributing a terrorist publication.
Mohanned Jasim, 21, of Montague Street, Southall, was jailed for two years.
He had pleaded guilty to publishing a statement to encourage others to commit an act of terrorism.
Det Supt Ian Hunter, from the South East Counter Terrorism Unit of Thames Valley Police, said: "These arrests were a direct result of good work by Kent Police officers at the Port of Dover who intervened to stop them leaving the country.
"Whilst we cannot be certain exactly where Mayow and Jasim were heading or what they intended to do, the subsequent investigation enabled these offences to be identified and the sentences reflect the seriousness of sharing extremist material."
The pair were arrested by Kent Police at Dover's Eastern Docks on 15 November 2015, just two days after the terrorist attacks in Paris which left 129 people dead.
Hillingdon Council detained Steven Neary, of Uxbridge, for almost a year after he was taken into a "positive behaviour unit" in December 2009.
Mr Neary's father Mark, 52, said he felt relieved after the ruling, which he described as "fantastic".
The council said it had apologised to the family for letting them down.
The judge, Mr Justice Peter Jackson, concluded that the council's use of a "deprivation of liberty" order unlawfully deprived Mr Neary of his freedom.
Mark Neary told the Court of Protection that he viewed the care by the council as a temporary move and expected his son to return home by January 2010.
But the council told the court that staff had concerns about his son's "challenging" behaviour and weight, and argued that the care was intended to be for a longer period.
Mr Neary, a counsellor, said: "Hopefully people will read this judgment and be prepared to fight for the rights of their kids.
"I knew Steven should be at home because I know Steven.
"I was always outnumbered. I would go to case conferences but they were just about me agreeing to whatever they (council staff) had decided. I would come out of these meetings in despair.
"I don't think Steven really understands what it has all been about. For him he just likes seeing pictures of himself on television and the internet."
Earlier Mr Neary said there had always been problems with his son's behaviour around Christmas time because "his routine gets broken".
Mr Neary said he had been unwell and intended Steven to go to his "normal respite place" for three days but the council moved him to the behaviour unit.
He said the council's decision to move him and the deprivation of liberty orders had left him feeling "helpless".
He said: "I felt I had let him down, lost my own son.
"Steven still needs a care package from the council so I have to consider how we can rebuild the relationship."
Mr Justice Peter Jackson said: "Hillingdon had no lawful basis for keeping Steven away from his family between 5 January and 23 December 2010.
"It acted as if it had the right to make decisions about Steven.
"It tried to wear down (Mark) Neary's resistance, stretching its relationship with him to almost breaking point.
But the judge added: "Anyone who believes that the work is simple and the right decision's always obvious is mistaken.
"In the vast majority of cases, it is carried out without fuss, fanfare or public congratulation, but that can be forgotten when attention understandably turns to cases where things have gone wrong.
Following the ruling Linda Sanders, director of social care at Hillingdon Council, said: "I would like to apologise to Steven and his father.
"It is clear that there have been times when we have let both of them down.
"Cases such as Steven's are hugely complex and we always have to carefully balance what we think is right for an individual with the wider issues such as the safety of the public.
"As the judge has said in his findings, at all times my staff were genuinely committed to ensuring that we did the right thing for Steven and had his best interests at heart.
"We recognise that we need to improve our processes and that we should have kept Steven's father more involved during the time that we cared for Steven."
She said the "failings were collective errors of judgment" and the local authority was reviewing its training for staff regarding the Mental Capacity Act and deprivation of liberty safeguards.
"Steven has now been at home for over six months and we will do all we can to support him and his father so they can live a safe and happy life, which has always been our intention," she said.
Steven Neary has been staying with his father since he left a local authority unit under an interim court order that allowed him to return home in December 2010. | St Helens bounced back from their Challenge Cup exit as they survived a Salford comeback to seal victory, despite Niall Evalds' hat-trick.

The capital of China, Beijing is still blanketed under a thick layer of pollution and smog.
The city has been on 'red alert'- the highest warning given out by the Government - that encourages people to stay indoors or wear special face masks if they go outside for several days.
Coal is used to power some Chinese factories and since it's cold now, more people are using it to heat their homes, so there is more pollution.
More and more Chinese people are now taking precautions against the air pollution.

Nicholas Holgate said Local Government Secretary Sajid Javid had asked for him to go, but Mr Javid has not commented.
He said last week's fire at the North Kensington block, in which at least 79 people died, was "heart-breaking" but his presence would be a "distraction".
Residents had condemned the initial relief effort as "absolute chaos".
In a statement issued by the council on Wednesday, Mr Holgate, who has been in post since 2014, said it was the "highest priority" of the council to help families affected by the fire.
He said the communities and local government secretary had on Tuesday "required the leader of the council to seek my resignation".
The Department for Communities and Local Government would not comment on the resignation.
Since the fire on 14 June, some Grenfell Tower families have been staying in hotels and B&Bs, and there were concerns that more permanent housing would be offered in other parts of the country.
However, residents said Kensington and Chelsea London Borough Council had provided little support or information.
Government staff and other London boroughs were drafted in to help with relief efforts in the wake of the fire, with humanitarian assistance being provided by the west London borough of Ealing.
The council's £8.6m refurbishment of the tower has also faced questions, with suggestions that new cladding fitted during the refurbishment could have made the blaze worse.
Mr Holgate, who has held the post since 2014, said: "Despite my wish to have continued, in very challenging circumstances, to lead on the executive responsibilities of the council, I have decided that it is better to step down from my role, once an appropriate successor has been appointed."
He added: "There is a huge amount still to do for the victims of the fire, requiring the full attention of this council and many others. If I stayed in post, my presence would be a distraction."
Nicholas Paget-Brown, the leader of the council, said it was with "regret" that he accepted Mr Holgate's resignation.
He said: "The council has been grief stricken by the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower fire and has sought to provide the greatest level of support we can to victims.
"That is a huge challenge and Nicholas has led from the front in seeking to do this."
PM Theresa May, who is among those to have faced criticism after she failed to meet survivors in the immediate aftermath, has apologised for "State" failures after the blaze. She is expected to make a statement about the fire in the House of Commons on Thursday.
She told MPs on Wednesday: "People were left without belongings, without roofs over their heads, without even basic information about what had happened, what they should do and where they could seek help."
The former Oasis star follows acts like The Clash, Paul Weller and New Order in winning the gong.
He picks up the award as Blur prepare to collect this year's outstanding contribution to music prize at the Brit Awards next month.
Noel Gallagher, 44, already has the Brits title having won it in 2007 as a member of Oasis.
The guitarist, who launched his solo career fronting The High Flying Birds in 2011, will pick up his prize at the NME Awards on 29 February at London's O2 Academy Brixton.
"I would like to thank NME for bestowing upon me such a great accolade," said Noel Gallagher.
"I have dreamt of this moment since I was 43 years old.
"I accept that I am now a genius, just like God."
Noel Gallagher wrote Oasis hits including chart-toppers Don't Look Back In Anger, Some Might Say and Go Let It Out.
He quit the band in 2009 after falling out with brother Liam.
His debut solo album made it to number one in the album chart.
NME editor Krissi Murison said: "For the best part of two decades, the voice of one man has dominated the pages of NME more than any other. That man is Noel Gallagher.
"Opinionated, intelligent, passionate and always hilarious - Noel walks and talks it better than any other musician out there, and it's just one of the reasons why the British public loves him so dearly.
"No individual has written as many sing-out-loud classics as Noel. His songwriting has defined a generation."

"There'll be no Normandy veterans left in time to come."
Ed Murray, 86, is dying of cancer but was determined to take part in the ceremony - and not in his wheelchair.
"I only went to Normandy to complain about the noise," he joked. "I couldn't get back."
Formed in 1982 the Durham branch of the association - the twelfth - had made pilgrimages to northern France and regularly attended Remembrance Sunday events.
Michael Dalton, whose father was in Normandy, said men now in their eighties and nineties were finding it difficult just to attend the association's monthly meetings.
He said some were frail and in ill health and the group felt it was "the right time to call it a day".
Mayor Val Raw promised the standard would be one of the town's "most treasured possessions".
"I know it is given with great pride and it is with great pride that we receive it," she said. "It will be treasured here."
The standard will be put on display in the council chamber at Great Aycliffe Town Council offices.
Lord Smith of Kelvin, who recently joined as chairman, said he was aware of the need to recruit women to the seven-man board.
The firm has a strong track record of women in charge.
However, it has been the subject of a fierce battle between managers and activist shareholders.
The whole board will have been replaced in the space of 18 months, and no women are left on it.
Half of the workforce of 311 is female, but among the top 61 managers, only 25% are women.
Katherine Garrett-Cox, the chief executive, was removed from the board last October, and is leaving Alliance Trust next week.
Unusually for a listed company reporting on its full-year results, there was no commentary from the chief executive.
Also ousted from the group board was Susan Noble, who remains in the chair at a subsidiary, Alliance Trust Investments.
Karin Forseke stepped down as chairwoman in November, as the boardroom turmoil worsened and the previous business strategy was replaced.
The company had been taking a longer-term approach to results, with more emphasis on attracting investors with an interest in backing companies with strong social and environmental credentials as well as good governance.
Ms Forseke's predecessor was also female. Lesley Knox stepped down in 2012, and last year backed the women in charge in their battle with hedge fund Elliott Advisers.
Commenting on the results for 2015, Lord Smith of Kelvin said: "I am acutely aware of the lack of gender diversity on the current board as a result of the recent changes.
"Alliance Trust has long been a leader in the area of board diversity, and this is an issue which I am determined to address at the earliest opportunity."
The full year results for 2015 reflect some of that change, and the costs of it.
The discount, or gap between Alliance Trust's market value and the valuation of its portfolio of assets, was strongly criticised for being too large. It has been cut from 12% to 8% during the past year.
Assets under management at the Alliance Trust subsidiary are now around £5bn, including a net inflow of funds during last year.
Third party assets under management - which Alliance Trust has attracted from outside its own investor base - reached £2.1bn by the end of December.
Total revenue at the Tayside firm fell from £274m to £200m. Pre-tax profit declined from £229m to £145m.
While administrative costs rose from £35m to £45m, there is a target of cutting £6m from costs at the investment business during this year.
The dividend for Alliance Trust investors is being increased for the 49th consecutive year. That makes it one of only four companies on the FTSE all share index that can claim to have such a consistent record.
Juan Jasso was targeted by three youths during the incident on a tram in the city centre on Tuesday morning.
Video footage captures him being called "an immigrant" and told to "get back to Africa" when confronting the trio.
"It's been a bit surreal how social media can instantly take an incident like this and make it global," he said.
"I've had a lot of support from complete strangers."
Latest news and sport updates from across Greater Manchester
Mr Jasso was on a tram at Shudehill when he challenged the boys for "swearing profusely" and "visibly upsetting" other commuters.
He responded to the insults saying some people were "extremely ignorant and not very intelligent".
He can then be heard saying: "Seven years in the military," as other commuters told the alleged perpetrators "you are an absolute disgrace. A disgrace to England".
Mr Jasso, a sport lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University, said: "I didn't do anything that was disrespectful. I literally just asked them to watch their language.
"I don't think my accent was a part of that [abuse], I think it was more just my appearance."
He said he did not blame anyone else for not commenting until the youths had left the tram, saying "it's for every individual to judge and decide, they shouldn't put themselves in harm's way".
"I challenge people a lot on different things when I'm out, if people are littering, language, loads of different things. If I don't feel comfortable I'll say something," he added.
"I know that when I challenge somebody I'm going to be on my own and I'm still prepared to do that."
Mr Jasso, from Todmorden, West Yorkshire, who was a signals intelligence analyst for the US Army, said it was only the second incident of its type he had experienced in his 18 years in the UK.
"As a whole this country is very tolerant," he said.
"There are pockets in any society where people may not agree with the government or may not like individuals who are not from their area originally, but I like it here and I think this country has a history of tolerance."
Two men, aged 20 and 18, and a boy, 16, were arrested on suspicion of affray following the incident.
The two teenagers have been bailed until 10 August while the 20-year-old man remains in custody for questioning.

But Uefa will have the final say, according to Football Association of Wales project director Alan Hamer.
He expects the roof to be open unless bad weather hits the event on 3 June.
"I've not been made aware of any decisions so I assume that other stadiums didn't have roofs so the roof would be open unless we're told anything different," said Hamer.
The stadium in Cardiff City centre will be the first with a retractable roof to stage European football's showpiece club match.
Asked if there was any possibility the roof might be closed, Hamer added: "Potentially yes, it's a question I've been asked several times by people.
"It's an interesting one, it's Uefa's decision it's their event.
"Normally it's only closed in football when the conditions dictate really.
"I think if we had really poor weather that would put the pitch in jeopardy then clearly it's an obvious decision, but on a day like today where we can see the blue skies we'll see what comes out of it."
Hamer says the FAW hopes bringing the final to Cardiff will lead to an increase in participation.
"We were very clear from the outset that one of our three objectives was to leave a lasting legacy," he added.
"There'd be no benefit for the FAW to stage an event for the kudos. There has to be a tangible legacy.
"For the FAW the true test I guess will be in 2019-2020 (if) are there are more people playing football that were in 2015?
"After the Euros last year we've already made a difference. With Champions League and Women's Champions league final we'd be disappointed I think if it didn't make a difference.
"That's why we're putting a lot of time into community programmes we're doing.
"We don't have to do these things they're not obligations for the FAW, they're things we choose because of our legacy plan."
Twenty years ago she was growing potatoes and corn and bringing up her children in her native Huayllacocha, a village in the Andes four hours by car from the provincial capital, Cuzco.
But she told me her life changed forever one day in 1996.
A doctor suggested Ms Huillca, who was heavily pregnant at the time, visit a health clinic in the town of Izcuchaca.
She told the BBC that the nightmare started straight after she gave birth.
"A nurse put me on a stretcher and tied my hands and feet," she recalled.
"I asked them to bring me my little baby girl but instead they anesthetised me," she said.
"When I woke up, the doctor was stitching my stomach. I started screaming, I knew I had been sterilised."
Ms Huillca was a victim of a family planning programme as a result of which thousands of women were forcibly sterilised.
The programme, launched in 1996 by then-president Alberto Fujimori - who argued that a lower birth rate would drive down poverty - at first received much praise.
But then more and more women complained about being sterilised without their consent.
Most of them were poor, indigenous and spoke Quechua.
Over the years, their voices became louder and clearer.
The first case to be investigated was that of Mamerita Mestanza.
The 33-year-old lived in Cajamarca, in the northern Andes, with her husband and seven children.
1995: President Alberto Fujimori modifies the General Population Law to incorporate voluntary surgical contraception (sterilisation) as part of the contraceptive methods on offer
1996: Reproductive Health and Family Planning Programme starts and Mamerita Mestanza dies following a tubal ligation she did not consent to
2001: Inter-American Commission on Human Rights awards a settlement to her family, opening the door to other cases
2003: Prosecutors start investigating allegations of forced sterilisations
2009: Investigation shelved for lack of evidence
2011: Investigation is re-opened
2014: Second probe shelved for lack of evidence
2015: Investigation re-opened again, Peru's government creates a national registry of forced sterilisations
2016: Deadline for the investigation to conclude
According to testimony given by her husband, in 1996 she began coming under constant pressure from staff at her local health-centre to be sterilised.
She was even told that it was illegal to have more than five children and that she could be jailed for having any more.
She finally succumbed to the pressure and agreed to have the tubal ligation procedure in March 1998.
But her husband alleged that she was not given any information about the risks involved.
Eight days after she was sterilised, Ms Mestanza died of a post-operative infection which doctors had failed to treat.
Her husband said that he requested that his wife be given medical attention on a number of occasions and was refused.
Some of the victims have been speaking out and telling Peruvian media their stories.
Esperanza Huayama said she was lured to a health clinic by promises of food, vitamins and medicine.
Health Ministry staff went from village to village and according to Ms Huayama, at least 100 women from her area went to the clinic on the same day as she did.
"I was three months pregnant and I didn't know it. But they [health centre staff] did and still they went ahead." she said.
"First they offered medicine and then they treated us like animals."
Micaela Flores said she and other women were taken by lorries to a health centre.
"We all arrived innocent and happy, then we heard screams and I just ran."
She said the doors were padlocked so she could not escape and that she was sterilised against her will.
According to data released in 2002 by Peru's Health Ministry, 260,874 women had tubal-ligation operations between 1996 and 2000.
Rights group the Latin American Committee on Women's Rights (Cladem) says that as few as 10% of them might have given consent.
They believe that the others were victims of forced sterilisations.
Thousands of women have reported being harassed, threatened or blackmailed to undergo the procedure.
As a result of their testimony, Peru's Ombudsman's office prepared three reports into the issue between 1997 and 2002.
They documented mistakes made during the sterilisation campaign and made a number of recommendations.
Despite these reports, President Fujimori - who is serving a 25-year sentence for human rights abuses and corruption - has always maintained these procedures were consensual.
His daughter Keiko, a presidential candidate who polls suggest could win next year's election, was recently asked about the allegations.
She blamed individual rogue medical practitioners.
But new evidence contradicts her.
In October, Peruvian newspaper La Republica published an in-depth report into the scandal.
It quoted three doctors who said they had refused to follow orders to sterilise women in the 1990s.
One of them, Rogelio Martino, worked in a poor neighbourhood of Piura in northern Peru.
According to Dr Martino, his team was told to sterilise at least 250 women over four days in July 1997,
He and his colleagues considered this highly risky, and an undignified way to treat poor women.
"We had no option but to report it to the local prosecutor's office," explains Dr Martino, who later resigned.
He said he had no doubt that the sterilisations were a state policy.
In early November, the government ordered that the investigation into the sterilisation programme be reopened.
As part of the probe, investigators set up a national registry of victims.
Sigfredo Florian is a lawyer who works with the Institute of Legal Defence, which has taken up a few of the cases.
He believes that the registry will help to determine the extent of the practice "because no-one knows how many victims there really are".
Maria Ysabel Cedano who leads women's rights group DEMUS welcomed the move but said that the women still had not had their rights restored.
Prosecutors have been thwarted before, twice the case was dismissed before being re-opened this year.
While this most recent investigation should be wrapped up by February 2016, court proceedings are still a long way off.
Meanwhile, victim Sabina Huillca is still struggling with life since her forced sterilisation.
"At the beginning I just wanted to die but my four children kept me alive," she recalls.
She is currently living in Lima where she is receiving treatment for ovarian cancer, which she thinks is a result of the operation.
For her, it does not matter how long it takes to get justice: "I just don´t want this to happen to other women."

The German side are managed by Pep Guardiola, who will replace Pellegrini at City next season.
Asked what a tie with Guardiola would mean, Pellegrini replied: "For me, exactly the same. It doesn't matter."
City beat Paris St-Germain to reach the last four, while Bayern lead Benfica 1-0 in their quarter-final.
Real Madrid are also through to the semi-finals, with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid vying for the other spot.
"It will always be a difficult team," Pellegrini, 62, added. "Bayern Munich, if they win, Barcelona or Real Madrid."
The draw for the semi-finals takes place on Friday.
City reached the last four of the Champions League for the first time after Tuesday's 1-0 second-leg win sealed a 3-2 aggregate victory over French champions Paris St-Germain.
Sergio Aguero missed a penalty for City before Kevin de Bruyne got a 76th-minute winner for the hosts.
Real Madrid secured their spot after Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick to overturn Wolfsburg's 2-0 lead from the first leg.
In Wednesday's quarter-finals, Bayern face Benfica in Portugal and last season's champions Barcelona travel to Atletico Madrid looking to protect their 2-1 advantage.
City have reached the last 16 twice and failed to progress beyond the group stages twice in their past four Champions League campaigns.
"It's an amazing night for us," said City goalkeeper Joe Hart, the only player in Tuesday's squad who joined City before the 2008 takeover by Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Mansour.
"We've worked hard in this competition. I've been here since the start of this Champions League run and we did struggle to start with, but we started to piece together results and this speaks volumes."
Goalscorer De Bruyne added: "Everybody has talked about the Champions League and to be in the semi-finals is a great achievement.
"But it is not done yet. We are looking forward to the semis. It is only two games away from the final. We will try to do everything to reach the final."
PSG coach Laurent Blanc praised City's performance.
"City are a good team, not a particularly spectacular team, but they are efficient and they get the job done," the former Manchester United defender said.

A European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruling last November gave passengers the right to compensation for long delays, not just cancellations.
But the High Court has, at the request of UK airlines, referred the matter back to the ECJ for a further hearing.
It means UK courts will not hear any more cases until the ECJ rules again.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), which enforces the airline regulations, said it would defend the current position at the next ECJ hearings.
"The High Court stayed our enforcement powers so the courts won't hear cases in the interim," a spokesman said.
"But our view of the law hasn't changed - we wish to enforce the position laid down by the 2009 ruling."
Until last November, European rules awarded airline passengers cash compensation if their flights were cancelled, but not if they were delayed.
If passengers were delayed the airlines had only to offer meals, refreshments, two free telephone calls and, for an overnight delay, hotel accommodation and transfers to and from the hotel.
That changed when the ECJ effectively re-wrote the original 2004 regulations, and said that people whose flights were delayed should be treated as if their flights had been cancelled.
That meant cash compensation should be awarded, in addition to their other rights, if delays lasted longer than three hours.
However, the UK airline industry opposed the move. BA, Easyjet, the tour operator TUI and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) took the matter to the High Court, to persuade it to ask the European court to look at the issue again.
"It was an unexpected judgement last November," said aviation lawyer Sue Barham at law firm Barlow, Lyde and Gilbert.
"The rules don't say there is an obligation to pay compensation for delayed flights but the ECJ decided that that is what they meant."
Sarah McIntyre at Easyjet said: "It is important to clarify that this case will not affect delayed passengers' right to care such as phone calls, hotel accommodation and food, and we will continue to fully comply with EU regulations for claims relating to cancellations or denied boarding."
Since November some airlines have been paying up when delayed passengers have demanded compensation, while others have tried to stall and avoid paying, arguing that the ECJ judgement was wrong.
A stay on any new compensation cases in the UK courts, and refusal by UK airlines to pay compensation to passengers who merely ask for it, could last for two years.
"There will be a further hearing and I do not expect another judgement until the first half of 2012," said a source close to the airlines.
Despite the new round of court hearings, a CAA spokesman explained that a UK passenger could still make a claim for delay compensation in another EU country if an EU airline was involved.
The referral back to the ECJ is not a formal appeal - such a procedure does not exist - but it is being asked to reconsider the issue and change its mind.
Separately, some airlines have been fighting their obligation to pay food and hotel costs, for instance following the widespread disruption caused by the volcanic ash cloud over much of Europe during the spring.
Last week, the European Commission threatened to take legal action against the Dutch airline KLM which has been reimbursing its passengers for the cost of just one day and one night's delay.
Ryanair initially threatened not to reimburse passengers whose flights were cancelled due to the ash cloud, but it backed down under pressure from the UK and Irish authorities.
The Three Lions had taken the lead through Harry Kane's strike in Paris, but still lost despite Raphael Varane's dismissal early in the second half.
England have also lost to Germany and drawn against Spain this season.
"You have got to control possession and stay calm but I thought we looked more anxious with 10 men," said Southgate.
Tottenham striker Kane netted the opener in the ninth minute, but the French hit back through first-half goals from Samuel Umtiti and Djibril Sidibe.
On 47 minutes, Real Madrid defender Varane hauled down Dele Alli in the box and was given a straight red card, as Kane stepped up to equalise.
But they were unable to hold on as the the impressive Kylian Mbappe laid the ball on for the equally-brilliant Ousmane Dembele to drill home the winner 12 minutes from time.
"We just didn't manage that period of the game as well as we needed to, I thought we tired," said Southgate. "We put in a huge amount of effort and it was a problem for us with their pace and athleticism.
"I think we should have got a result. In the space of 90 minutes we saw the things we are very good at, with the ball we caused a lot of problems and looked a threat and created good openings and took our first goal very well.
"On the other hand we have to get better as a team and at managing the game, especially when they went down to 10 men."

England failed to get a result against France, just as they did in their 1-0 defeat by Germany in March. Against Spain last November, they were leading 2-0 until the 89th minute, before Iago Aspas and Isco scored late goals to level.
This was Southgate's eighth game as boss, since taking over from Sam Allardyce, and they have won three, drawn three and lost two during his reign.
The former international defender added: "To be honest it has been absolutely what I thought. We have been competitive in these three friendlies for long periods but we have had to play at our absolute limit to stay in all three matches.
"The pleasing thing is the players are taking on board tactical information and the three games have provided different tests.
"We have not got anywhere near these teams when it comes to tournaments and finals so that is why we need to play them.
"We need to see the reality of where we are and you have to play against the best otherwise it masks where you are as a team."
She was born on 2 May 1908 and was a native Irish speaker.
Ms Clancy was from Connemara, Co Galway, but she spent much of her life living in the US before returning home to Galway in 1988.
She died peacefully in her sleep on Tuesday morning.
Mother-of-13 Violet Crumlish, 59, died at the weekend after a long battle with cancer.
A white carriage drawn by four white horses led the cortege to St Peter's church in Lurgan, Co Armagh.
Two flatbed lorries were required to carry the huge number of wreaths and flowers for the hugely popular member of the travelling community.
Among the scores of colourful floral tributes were ones in the shape of a Chanel handbag, a caravan, a bingo board, an iPhone, a stick of lipstick, a cigarette and bottles of wine.
A number of life-sized photos of the grandmother - as well as portraits of her extended family - were also displayed inside the church and at the graveside.
Mrs Crumlish lived in the Bristol area, but had returned to her homeland in Northern Ireland as her death drew nearer.
During the requiem Mass, Parish Priest Fr Joseph Wozniak described her as a "very gentle and kind person".
"She never criticised anybody and was fondly described by family members as the Traveller Queen," he said.
The cleric added that she was "a brilliant mother and grandmother... like a mother to many in the travelling community".
Mrs Crumlish's husband Owen rode on the horse-drawn carriage as the cortege made its way from the church to the graveyard.
Parts of Lurgan town centre were closed to traffic to allow the funeral procession to pass through.
At the graveyard, a number of doves were released into the air as Mrs Crumlish's white coffin was lowered into the ground.
Family and friends dropped yellow roses onto the coffin lid while singing songs, including the Whitney Houston classic, I will Always You Love You.
In August, thousands of travellers travelled to Bristol from across Europe to pay respects to Mrs Crumlish during the final stages of her illness.
Festival adviser Cedric Eloy said Jolie would provide moral support and "bring attention to the rebirth of the Cambodian film industry".
The Hollywood star is currently in Cambodia directing her latest movie.
"Cambodia's rich history, long culture and talented people mean it has a huge amount to offer," said Jolie.
She added: "I'm proud to support the Cambodia International Film Festival and Cambodia as a home for vibrant and innovative film-making."
The festival will be held in the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh, from 4-10 December and will screen 130 films from 34 countries.
First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers, about the Khmer Rouge, is released on Netflix next year.
The film is an adaptation of a memoir by Cambodian author and human rights activist Luong Ung's memoir of the same name, published in 2000.
It recounts Ung's personal experiences of life under the Maoist regime, a time which saw more than 1.7 million people executed, including many film-makers, writers and artists, and left Cambodia's film industry was devastated.
Unlike her latest release, By the Sea, Jolie is only directing this new venture, not starring in it too.
By the Sea, a film that has come in for much criticism from industry commentators, marks Jolie's third time behind the camera since Unbroken, in 2014 and In The Land of Blood and Honey (2011).
It is the first film in which she has co-starred with husband Brad Pitt since 2005's Mr & Mrs Smith.
The film is released in the UK on 11 December.
Officers have been searching for the 36-year-old, from Petworth in West Sussex, since 22:00 BST on Thursday.
Ms Weeks, who is known for her role in the ITV drama, was last seen an hour earlier 14 miles away in Chichester.
Sussex Police said they were concerned for her welfare and it was unlike her not to get in touch. She had recently told family and friends she was feeling anxious.
Det Kate Wilt said: "If you read this Honeysuckle, please get in touch to let us know you are ok.
"Although she travels around a lot and has links in London and has family in Wiltshire, it is unlike her not to be in touch with family."
Earlier this year the actress was reportedly ordered to wear an electronic tag after she was caught speeding on the A3 in south-west London in August 2015.
A child in the back seat was not wearing a proper seat belt and it emerged she was already banned from driving.
Her agency The Artists Partnership said it was currently "unable to get hold of Honeysuckle".
She recently finished work on shooting Lewis for ITV and a Sky mystery The Five.
As well as starring as Samantha Stewart in drama Foyle's War, she has also appeared in The Bill, The Inspector Lynley Mysteries and Death In Paradise.
The Cardiff-born actress is described as around 5ft 4in (1.62m) with cropped gingery blonde hair.
She was last seen wearing a blue anorak and faded blue jeans.

The Rooney Rule, established in 2003, requires NFL teams to interview one black or ethnic minority candidate for head coaching and senior football operation opportunities that become available, as part of a transparent and open recruitment process.
Cyrus Mehri, based in Washington, has been in London this week meeting with the game's top bosses to present the rule as a way of addressing the lack of black and ethnic minority coaches and managers in professional football.
Birmingham City's Chris Hughton and Chartlon Athletic's Chris Powell are the only black managers across all 92 professional clubs, despite more than 25% of players in the league being black.
There are only two black managers across all 92 professional clubs in England. Thirteen out of 32 clubs in the NFL are led by a head coach or manager from an ethnic minority
"I think that this is a key moment," Mehri told BBC Sport. "I have confidence in the people I met with. They were very impressive, they asked good questions and came with an open mind.
"I'm very confident that when they study this issue they're going to reach the same conclusion that the bosses in the NFL reached, which was it may not be perfect but there is no better solution and we have to address this issue."
Mehri explains that the Rooney Rule - named after Dan Rooney, the owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the chairman of the league's diversity committee - was initially met with scepticism in the United States but the initiative has been a resounding success.
"What ended up happening was almost overnight we went from two black head coaches to seven and there are currently eight minority head coaches. We went from one black general manager to five. So that means 13 out of 32 clubs in the NFL are led by a minority head coach or manager.
"Most importantly these people who have been selected have delivered for their teams. Out of the last five years, of the 10 clubs that made it to the Super Bowl, seven of those were led by a black general manager or head coach.
"Roger Goodell, the commissioner of the National Football League, will tell you in speech after speech that the Rooney Rule has made America's game a better game.
"So now the question is: can a rule like this be tailored and adopted to fit the English game?"
Former Arsenal midfielder Paul Davis is leading much of the Professional Footballers' Association's (PFA) work to encourage players into coaching and management. He also believes the Rooney Rule would have benefits far beyond the black community.
To lead the way and show some leadership we need to move it on. Black and white players are looking to get into the game and are not getting opportunities because the jobs are going to the same faces
"The game over here would improve without doubt," Davis told BBC Sport. "We'd have better teams. The national team would be better. When it happens, people will see it with their own eyes.
"Black and white players are looking to get into the game and are not getting opportunities because the jobs are going to the same faces.
"We want to try and break that down, so everyone coming out of the game feels that they've got a chance."
Mehri believes that without the Rooney Rule, the issue of under-representation in the NFL would have continued. He is urging the English football authorities to become the world leaders in this area within the sport.
"It shows leadership worldwide," he enthuses. "I also believe that it will make the Premier League more competitive."
Both Davis and Mehri reject the suggestion that the Rooney Rule promotes positive discrimination.
"I don't believe this is positive discrimination," says Davis. "It's about opening up barriers and allowing everybody the opportunity to pitch for a job."
Dave Rowntree, who has played with the band since its formation in 1988, held the seat for Labour with 1,173 of the 1,997 votes (59%).
Mr Rowntree told the BBC the "music side was on hold" at the moment.
"Blur are not doing anything this year as a band. We tend to do things when something interesting comes along," he said.
He added: "No-one else from Blur is running for county council but you never know. We are an unpredictable lot."
Mr Rowntree said he was "genuinely humbled to be elected as a councillor" and paid tribute to Burt Bremner who had stepped down.
"He [Mr Bremner] was extraordinary. He turned the ward around by knocking on every door and offering help," he said.
Blur had a huge number of hits including Parklife and Girls & Boys. In 2012 the group received a Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music.
Despite Mr Rowntree "winning target seats" from the Green Party, it was the Conservatives who took control of Norfolk County Council taking nine seats from UKIP.
The Tories now have 55 seats on the council, Labour have 17, Lib Dems have 11 and there is one independent.
Carwyn Jones said his government wants "to see this project delivered but it has to be delivered on a sustainable basis."
The company behind the project wants a £210m taxpayer-funded guarantee.
The Conservatives and Plaid Cymru have criticised a delay on the decision.
It was originally expected that ministers would decide whether to go ahead with backing the project in March.
The guarantee that is sought amounts to about half the cost of the scheme.
During the session of questions to the first minister in the Senedd, Plaid's economy spokesman Adam Price said: "I think people will draw their own conclusion, first minister, on why this decision has been pushed beyond the general election."
In response, Mr Jones said: "He makes the insinuation that somehow this has been pushed back for some insidious reason.
"I can tell him that, unlike him, we do conduct proper due diligence. People expect that, people in Blaenau Gwent expect that.
"We want to see this project delivered but it has to be delivered on a sustainable basis."
Pressed by his fellow Labour AM, Lynne Neagle, on the date a decision could be expected, the first minister said: "I would expect the cabinet to meet in the course of the next fortnight with a decision being taken, of course, at that cabinet meeting.
"I understand the great enthusiasm for the project but we also have to temper that, of course, with ensuring that the project stacks up on its own, that the level of risk is acceptable, that there is substantial investment from the private sector, and that's what we've been working with, with the Circuit of Wales team," he added.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 28 points at 18,240.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 14 points to 5,292, while the S&P 500 dipped 7 points to 2,153.
Official figures showed the US economy created 156,000 jobs in September, the third month in a row the figure has fallen. The figure was slightly weaker than expected.
However, analysts said the Federal Reserve was still likely to raise interest rates before the end of the year.
"Today's data are not weak enough to substantially alter the underlying picture of the Fed's next move being one of tightening policy. It likely remains just a case of when, rather than whether, rates will rise," said Chris Williamson, chief business economist at IHS Markit.
"While a November rate hike therefore looks highly unlikely, given the proximity of the election and signs of a current weak-spot in the economy persisting into the third quarter, an election result that is positively received by the markets and business leaders will most likely pave the way for a December Fed rate hike, providing the economic data flow does not deteriorate further in the meantime."
Among individual stocks, Gap jumped 15% after the clothing retailer said underlying sales fell by less than expected in September.
Honeywell International dived 7.5% after the aerospace parts supplier trimmed its sales and profit forecasts for this year.
Both impressed in a warm-up match against a Mumbai XI on Sunday.
Plunkett bowled three good overs and Willey - who played for the hosts - took a hat-trick against England.
"I have an idea in my head," said England captain Eoin Morgan when asked about who he plans to select.
England will reveal their XI shortly before the game, which gets under way in the Indian west coast city of Mumbai at 14:00 GMT.
"Plunkett is an important player in the squad, with his extra bit of height and different trajectory to everyone else," added Morgan.
"Wills swings it up front, comes back into the middle and bowls change-ups. He has a canny knack of taking wickets and that's something that we've struggled doing for a while.
"That's one of his strengths."
England, winners of the 2010 World T20, exited at the group stage at the previous edition of the competition.

Andrew Bache, 51, from Portsmouth, was assaulted ahead of England's match against Russia in Marseille on 11 June.
Mr Bache was reported to have suffered severe brain injuries and a cardiac arrest and had to be put in an induced coma.
He is being treated at the Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth.
His friend, Crispin Harwood, said Mr Bache arrived in the UK by air ambulance on Friday afternoon.
Mr Harwood said his friend did not need "specialist neurological equipment or treatment" but would have an operation in due course to repair broken bones in his face.
The hospital said it could not comment on Mr Bache's condition.
Friends of Mr Bache, known as "Pepe", set up a web page which raised more than £27,000 for the cost of the air ambulance and any future medical needs.
The page said that Mr Bache's life had been saved by a French policeman, Patrice Martin, who performed CPR.

Bale left Spurs for Madrid in an £85m world-record deal in September 2013.
The 27-year-old has been linked with Giggs' former club Manchester United in the past, but signed a new contract in October, which runs until 2022.
"He looks happy at Real Madrid. I don't think he's going anywhere at the moment," Giggs told BBC Wales Sport.
"From a fan's point of view, it would be great to see him back in the Premier League.
"The United fans would love to see him at Old Trafford. You talk about the big clubs and United is up there.
"While he's happy there [Madrid], I can't see him leaving."
Bale has won two Champions Leagues in his time with Real.
The Cardiff-born forward scored a superb goal on his comeback after almost three months out with an ankle injury as La Liga leaders Real Madrid beat Espanyol 2-0 on Saturday.
Giggs said Bale's return to action is a "massive lift" for Wales for the World Cup qualifier against Group D leaders Republic of Ireland in Dublin on 24 March.
"You want to be going into that game with Gareth fully fit, scoring and playing well for Real Madrid," Giggs said.
"He's such a big player for Wales and the Republic of Ireland wouldn't want him turning up in Dublin that night.
"He's always the one that can make the difference. He's done it time and time again and when the pressure's on him to produce, he produces."
Giggs played alongside Bale when Wales lost 1-0 to the Irish in a Euro 2008 qualifier at Dublin's Croke Park in March 2007.
The Republic, managed by Martin O'Neill and assisted by Giggs' former United team-mate Roy Keane, are four points clear of third-placed Wales.
"The Republic, time and time again, come up with big results," Giggs said.
"There's a lot at stake and whoever wins that game will then have the confidence to push and try and qualify."
Former Wales captain Giggs left his role as Manchester United assistant manager in July 2016 and held talks with Swansea City following Francesco Guidolin in October.
Giggs said he had not been approached by Swansea after Guidolin's successor Bob Bradley was sacked, with Paul Clement appointed.
Clement, who left his role as Bayern Munich assistant to take over at the Liberty Stadium, has inspired a revival to see them climb the table which has impressed Giggs.
"I know Paul relatively well and he's a good coach," Giggs said during the launch of the FAW Community Awards.
"He seems to have changed things and they look a different team.
"He's managed to get them out of the relegation zone playing good football. They look the form side down there at the moment."
The 30-year-old succeeds Robbie Neilson and wants to build on the work that established Hearts as a top-four side.
Cathro has no playing or management experience but says there will be no issues with being the voice of authority in the dressing room.
"There isn't a limit to what you can do unless you believe in limits everybody else has set for years," he said.
"I don't live with those limits in my mind. There's space to grow and develop. We intend on being here for a long time.
"There will be good and bad, highs and lows, but it's about improving and taking another step on the great work that's already been done."
Cathro has spent the past four years as assistant manger to Nuno Espirito Santo at Rio Ave in Portugal then Valencia in Spain, and to Steve McClaren and then Rafa Benitez at Newcastle United.
He believes he is ready to prove himself at Tynecastle, and said the foundations laid by owner Ann Budge and the support structures put in place in the football department by director of football Craig Levein make Hearts the right club at which to move into management.
Cathro was appointed as a youth coach at Dundee United by then-Arabs boss Levein and said he would welcome "help" in his new role, but that he would pick the team.
"That will be me [who picks the team]," he said. "Why is this the right time? Probably because it's the right place and once of the factors is the structure that surrounds the club.
"If I can have help, I want help. I want people around me who are part of the team and want this to be a collective effort for us to make real steps forward that last. That will be done on a group basis, through my choice, because that's what I want.
"I'm ready because it's been something I've prepared for quite specifically for a long time. The only thing that people around you can do is see your work, see you as a person and have a feeling as to whether you are ready or not to do it.

"Throughout the process, this club has decided that I am ready and the people I have spoken to at Newcastle and other guys I look up to and who have supported me, as soon as they answered the phone they said: 'You're ready, go'."
Cathro has been the subject of criticism from former players, who believe he does not have the personality or charisma to inspire players. The former Kilmarnock striker Kris Boyd, who attended coaching courses with Cathro, made a remark about his use of a laptop to store coaching drills.
The new Hearts head coach brushed aside the comments, while revealing a sense of humour that undermined the accusation of him being aloof.
He also said that the description of him as a "genius" by the likes Nuno Santo and the former Dundee United youth coach Stevie Campbell was not a term he would ever use and that he will not be "radical".
"I've got numerous powerpoint presentations I can show to everybody, you just need to lift the laptop and it will be set up," Cathro joked.
"If you met me when I was 18, you'd have thought, what a boring 40 year-old he is. Comment on football is one of the reasons football is what it is.
"[My] responsibility is to make sure that prior to the first whistle in the game, we expect to win. I use the word expect, and that takes a lot of work.
"It's difficult, but that is our responsibility, to help the players improve on a daily basis, that's my vision.
"The improvement in the team, how the team can control games and make it more likely that we win games more regularly. Beyond that, time will tell."
Cathro - whose first game in charge will be against Rangers at Ibrox on Saturday - will be assisted by Austin MacPhee, who was in the running to become performance director with the Scottish Football Association but chose instead to join Hearts in a coaching capacity.
"It's not anything to do with the SFA or Hearts, it's two different career paths," MacPhee explained.
"I can only thank the SFA for their patience with me, their exchanging of ideas, and whoever takes on the performance director role, they have a very exciting job. I believe the decision to come here and work with Ian, Craig and Ann will be the right one for my career over time.
"We're different characters. We've got different skills, we've exchanged ideas in the game. There's enough synergy, but it's not all synergy.
"There are things Ian will challenge me on and there are things I will challenge Ian on. Our strengths and weaknesses will hopefully compensate, and we can grow with the club to move Hearts forward."
Budge said the pair reminded her of Neilson and his assistant Stevie Crawford, who guided Hearts out of the Championship in their first season at the helm.
"I used to say about Robbie that I was impressed with his intelligence, his understanding of the game, his work ethic, and these two young men are in exactly the same mould," Budge said.
"They buy into what were trying to do at Hearts, we've talked about our long-term plans, the investment in the academy and the development of youth and the aspirations for the club."
The stash of more than 4,000 bronze and silver coins is believed to have been buried some 1,700 years ago.
Weighing around 15kg (33lb), he discovered the coins after spotting something shimmering in a molehill.
The regional archaeological service said the coin trove was one of the biggest such finds in Swiss history.
The trove was unearthed in July in Ueken in the northern canton of Aargau.
Since a Roman settlement was discovered in the nearby town of Frick, just a few months before, he suspected the coins might be of Roman origin.
The farmer contacted the regional archaeological service who, after months of careful excavation, announced on Thursday that 4,166 coins had been found in excellent condition.
Some of the coins date from AD 274 and the rule of Emperor Aurelian. The find also included coins from the time of Emperor Maximan in 294.
Swiss archaeologist Georg Matter, who worked on the excavation, said what they found within the first three days "exceeded all expectations by far".
"As an archaeologist one rarely experiences something like this more than once in your career," he told Spiegel Online.
Coin expert Hugo Doppler said the coins were in such good condition it was clear they "were taken out of circulation right after they were minted."
He believes the owners hoarded the coins because "the silver contained in them guaranteed a certain value retention in a time of economic uncertainty."
It would be the first increase since the rate was cut to near zero during the 2008 financial crisis.
However, the bank said conditions in the labour market and inflation did not yet warrant an increase.
In a press conference the Fed chair Janet Yellen said that "most [policy-makers] are anticipating a rate increase this year".
She added that once rates started to rise, any increases would be gradual.
The US central bank is trying to find a balance between giving clear guidance to the markets about what will prompt a rise, while not restricting its freedom to react to new economic data.
The bank said it would raise rates when it had "seen further improvement in the labour market" and was "reasonably confident" that inflation would reach its target of 2% in the "medium term".
Many economists expect the first rate rise to come in September, though the projections released by the Fed today show less certainty about how far rates will rise before the end of this year.
Policy makers are equally split between one, two or three rate increases this year, according to the bank's "dot plot", which shows where individual policy makers think the economy is heading.
Ms Yellen said that "sometimes too much attention" was placed on the timing of the first increase - and that the entire trajectory should be considered.
"It seems likely that some cyclical weakness in the labour market remains," she continued, "although progress clearly has been achieved, room for further improvement remains".
The jobless rate is currently at 5.5%, close to where the policy makers said it needed to be to consider raising rates.
But it is thought that this number does not reflect the full picture with many people not being counted because they are not looking for work, but would still like a job.
Ms Yellen said that, although the Federal Reserve saw the factors behind the disappointing first quarter as transitory, they "would like to see more decisive evidence that a moderate economic growth will be sustained".
"In the grand scheme things doesn't mark a big shift in their thinking," said Charles Seville, North America director at the ratings firm Fitch.
"They're sticking to their script. We expect a rate rise in September."
Mr Seville added that the emphasis on the slow and gradual rate rises was also reassuring.
The first of the eight-book series, The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, aged 13 3/4, was published in 1982.
Mrs Townsend died at home in Leicester on Thursday after a short illness.
Chief executive of Leicester's Curve theatre, Fiona Allen, said staging the show early next year would be an "amazing tribute" to her.
Mrs Townsend, 68, was born in Leicester in 1946, and set her most famous work in her home city.
Ms Allen said they had been working on the musical for the "past couple of years".
"It's been commissioned, it's written," she added. "It has a producer and director and she really was working as the lead creative on this project.
"Obviously we need to be sensitive to timings but the project will go ahead.
"We are looking at spring next year and that would be an amazing tribute to the woman."
In 2009, Mrs Townsend was given the Honorary Freedom of Leicester.
Steven Kirkwood was originally charged with murder but was convicted of the lesser charge of culpable homicide with provocation over the death of Michael O'Hanlon.
Kirkwood claimed he acted in self defence when he stabbed Mr O'Hanlon at Stevenston, North Ayrshire, last July.
The court heard there was a struggle and Mr O'Hanlon was stabbed four times.
The trial, at the High Court in Glasgow, heard that the men had exchanged abusive texts in the days running up to the incident.
Mr O'Hanlon, who was 6ft and weighed 17st 3lbs, had been crowned Mr Scotland by the National Amateur Body Builders' Association four months before his death.
Marc Smyth, Johnny Flynn and Paul George have not been offered new deals with Ciaran Murray and Caoimhin Bonner both transfer listed.
Lyttle was appointed a month after Tommy Breslin's departure in September.
He guided the Reds to the League Cup in January but they struggled thereafter and needed a play-off win over Glentoran to confirm a European spot.
However, Cliftonville's play-off victory was worth at least £160,000 in Uefa qualification payments and as a result, Lyttle is set to make a number of summer signings.
"We thank all of our departing players and we wish them all the best for the future," said the Reds manager.
"We are currently in discussions with a number of clubs for some of our other players and I envisage three or four of the remaining squad leaving before the start of the new season.
"I have identified a number of targets and the club are working on securing these players."
Smyth joined Cliftonville in the summer of 2012 after spells with Scottish clubs Ayr United, Partick Thistle, Airdrie United and Greenock Morton.
Flynn, who is also a defender, moved to the Reds from Falkirk in 2014 and played 70 games for the club.
George moved to the club last October but only made 10 appearances.
Just 30% of those diagnosed with the disease survive for five years or more.
The charity said early diagnosis of ovarian cancer is key to survival, and women need to know the symptoms in order to visit their GP with concerns.
The charity said awareness of symptoms also differed across the UK.
Ovarian cancer symptoms
Target Ovarian Cancer also warned that women with ovarian cancer were at risk of delayed diagnosis, worse treatment and even lower survival outcomes, depending on where they live.
Alexandra Holden, from Target Ovarian Cancer, said: "It really is down to who you meet, where you live, whether your clinician believes in clinical trials, whether there is a trial near you, which there might be, but there might not be.
"It is absolutely just down to chance and that's not acceptable when we're talking about people's lives."
The charity said early diagnosis was key to survival.
Women diagnosed at the earliest stage of ovarian cancer have a five-year survival rate of 92%, but the five-year survival rate in the UK is just 36%, amongst the worst in Europe.
NICE (The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) also recommend that any woman aged 50 or over who has had symptoms within the last 12 months which suggest a new diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) should have tests for ovarian cancer.
IBS rarely presents for the first time in women of this age and may be confused with ovarian cancer.
Experts say 500 lives a year could be saved through earlier diagnosis of the cancer, if the UK could match the best rates in Europe.
The result was a right royal launch for the latest West End production of 42nd Street, with Kate as guest of honour.
Hollywood star Morgan Freeman, DJ Sara Cox and Dame Esther Rantzen were also among the audience at London's Theatre Royal Drury Lane on Tuesday.
Based on the 1933 film, the show tells of a young performer in Depression-era New York who gets a shot at stardom.
Dressed in a maroon Marchesa gown, the Duchess attended in her role as Royal Patron of East Anglia's Children's Hospices.
She left with a golden pair of tap shoes, presented to her on stage after the curtain call by Mark Bramble, the show's director and co-author.
Tap is in abundance during the musical itself, which dramatises the painstaking coming-together of a Broadway stage spectacular.
Scottish-born singer Sheena Easton heads its cast, making her West End debut as a temperamental star whose indisposition allows an unknown chorine, played by Clare Halse, to take centre stage.
According to co-producer Michael Grade, the musical - which features such familiar songs as Lullaby of Broadway, Keep Young and Beautiful and We're In The Money - is "the right show at the right time".
"I think the public are ready for just some pure entertainment," said the former BBC chairman. "You're guaranteed to come out feeling better than when you went in."
"In times of trouble we look for things that bring us joy," agreed the choreographer Arlene Phillips. "It's a great story, a big, old-fashioned musical, and it just gets right inside you."
What did the critics make of it though? Here's a breakdown of what the Telegraph, the Mail, the Mirror, The Times and The Guardian have been saying.
The West End opening of 42nd Street comes only a few weeks after that of An American in Paris, another old-school mix of classic songs, tireless hoofing and glamorous spectacle.
London's theatrical nostalgia boom will continue next month when the Open Air theatre in Regent's Park launches its summer revival of On the Town.

They were arrested on Tuesday two days after the boy was taken to hospital with cardiac arrest.
The pair, from Wolverhampton, appeared before magistrates on Thursday.
They are charged with causing grievous bodily harm, engaging in sexual activity with a child under 13 and causing or allowing a child to suffer serious physical harm.
The baby is in New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton and remains in a critical condition, police said.
The man, aged 22, was remanded in custody to appear at Wolverhampton Crown Court on January 21.
The 18-year-old woman has been released on bail to appear alongside her co-accused.
Two other women, aged 46 and 32, have been arrested and released on bail.
The 23-year-old joined the Hatters from West Ham during their Conference-winning season in 2013-14 and follows Justin James in penning a new deal.
"I can't wait to get started again and hopefully we can get promotion this season," Mpanzu said.
"Last year was a bit of a disappointment at the end, but we know we can turn it around."
Luton lost in the League Two play-offs to Blackpool last season and start the new campaign at home against Yeovil Town.
It follows a Royal British Legion (RBL) campaign highlighting that some awards to veterans injured in service were being reduced to cover care costs.
It is hoped the move will benefit more than 6,000 veterans.
The money will be given to local authorities to make those pensions exempt from financial assessment.
The RBL welcomed the move, saying it addressed a "historic discrepancy".
Social Services Minister Rebecca Evans said: "We owe our armed forces veterans a significant debt of gratitude, which is why they deserve a fairer deal when it comes to social care.
"Pensions are an important source of compensation for many veterans and ensuring they receive the full amount they are rightfully entitled to will make their life that little bit easier."
Appointed successor to Charlotte Edwards, Knight took 5-26 to dismiss the tourists for 165 in 45.4 overs.
Opener Tammy Beaumont hit 70, adding 96 with Knight as England cruised home with 18.1 overs to spare at Grace Road.
Knight is the first player to take five wickets and make a fifty in an ODI.
New Road hosts the second game of the three-match series on Wednesday.
The final ODI will be held at Taunton on Monday, before the sides play three Twenty20s.
Katherine Brunt needed only 19 balls to claim her 100th ODI wicket as Pakistan's innings began poorly after England won the toss.
But it was off-spinner Knight who starred, sparking Pakistan's slide from 93-3 by having Iram Javed caught by Lauren Winfield at first slip with only her second delivery.
Sidra Ameen was caught and bowled by the skipper for 52 off 79 balls, with captain Sana Mir following in the same fashion two balls later.
Number nine Asmavia Iqbal made 22 off 34 balls but Knight wrapped up the innings by having her caught at long-on two deliveries after removing Sania Khan.
Lauren Winfield perished to the first ball of England's reply and Georgia Elwiss was bowled for 12 to leave the hosts 33-2.
But Beaumont looked completely at ease and seized her opportunity at the top of the order, hitting four fours off five balls as she showed her early intent.
Iqbal removed Beaumont for 70 - her first ODI half-century - but by that time England required only 37 to win.
Sciver made an aggressive run-a-ball 27, completing a comfortable victory moments after Knight brought up her 70-ball fifty.
England captain Heather Knight: "I had some nerves this morning - it was a big day for me - but they settled quite quickly.
"I was dreaming of a hundred on debut. Getting a five-for never crossed my mind but it was great to start well.
"When I took the job I said I wasn't going to try and be another Charlotte Edwards and I'd do it my own way.
"Laura Marsh was outstanding in the middle and a few of my wickets were down to her."

These phantom savings offers are being made to people on fixed-price energy tariffs and are a consequence of rules imposed by the energy regulator Ofgem.
People have been told of savings of up to £200 that never materialise. Up to a third of households could be affected.
Ofgem defended the system, saying it is the best option for comparing costs.
One EDF customer in Norwich found such an offer on the front of her November bill, under the heading "Our cheapest overall tariff".
"Over the next year you could save £42.08 by choosing Blue+Price Protection Nov17 with Direct Debit, our cheapest fixed electricity and gas tariff available for your meters," the message on her bill said.
But if this customer took the offer up and switched tariffs, Money Box calculated her true saving would be just £4.
Phantom savings can even turn into real losses. In one example analysed by Money Box, a £47 projected saving with Npower would actually lead to the customer paying £147 a year more than they now do.
Energy suppliers make these offers because of licence conditions introduced by Ofgem in 2014 - rules that all energy suppliers must comply with.
A methodology stipulated by Ofgem and known as the personal projection lies at the heart of the problem.
The personal projection is a forecast of the amount a customer would spend on energy in the year ahead if they fail to switch when their current fixed term tariff expires.
A failure to switch means customers are automatically put on their supplier's usually much more expensive standard variable tariff (SVT) reserved for people who rarely or never change suppliers or tariffs.
So a customer nine months into a cheaper one-year tariff will have a personal projection made up from the remaining three months on their current tariff plus nine months on their supplier's SVT. This is stated, in part, on the bill.
The result is a personal projection which is usually much higher than the amount someone on a fixed tariff is actually paying.
One Npower customer with average energy consumption gets two different quotes from price comparison services:
In the Npower example cited above, the new tariff Npower is offering costs £870 a year, some £147 more expensive than the cost of the current tariff.
Owing to the higher cost of the SVT, the customer's personal projection is even higher - at £917 a year. That is why, using Ofgem's methodology, the customer is told they would save £47 a year.
The BBC has learned that in industry consultations before the personal projection methodology was introduced in 2014, Ofgem was warned it was likely to produce inflated savings offers.
Archna Luthra, of the MoneySavingExpert website, told Money Box: "We gave them a very clear warning about how damaging and misleading this calculation could be. Lots of people across the industry had the same concerns and voiced those concerns to Ofgem."
Florian Ritzmann, head of the energy price comparison app Voltz, said his warnings to Ofgem, that customers could end up losing money instead of saving, fell on deaf ears.
"At one particular meeting I remember Ofgem said: 'We have made our decision and it's time to move on'. And that was that," he said.
Voltz and MoneySavingsExpert are among a handful of energy price comparison sites which, along with TheEnergyShop.com, have found ways to stop using Ofgem's personal projection methodology. They now simply compare the cost of proposed tariffs with what customers currently pay.
Other leading energy price comparison sites still follow Ofgem's personal projection rules and so, for people already on fixed tariffs, produce inflated savings that will not materialise if people go ahead and switch.
In response, Ofgem said: "We believe the method we chose to calculate customers' personal projections was the best method for comparing people's energy costs over the following 12 months."
Ofgem is once again consulting the energy industry on what, if anything, will replace personal projections after it withdraws its current methodology some time next year.

The latest Committee on Climate Change (CCC) progress report shows emissions have actually risen by 0.5% per year on average between 2009 and 2015.
However, there was a fall of 1.2% in 2015, due to a reduction in emissions from industry.
The Welsh Government said it recognised "further action is needed".
By contrast, Scotland is on track to meet its own 2020 target.
Wales has a non-statutory target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% from 1990 levels by 2020.
In 2015, the CCC - which advises the UK and devolved governments - found emissions were 20% lower than in 1990, compared to 38% for the UK as a whole.
Transport emissions have risen for two years in a row in Wales, and in contrast to the UK, the Welsh power sector's emissions stayed flat in 2015.
"Urgent action" is needed, the report argues, in areas where devolved nations have sufficient power to act.
It suggests addressing failures to meet tree-planting targets, and further incentives to improve energy efficiency and heating of buildings and in promoting electric vehicles.
Where policy areas are reserved, "it is important to work with the UK Government to ensure that the overall framework is strong enough to drive the necessary emission reductions".
However, good progress is being made in the areas of renewable energy and recycling, the report says.
A target to produce 7TWh of electricity from renewables in Wales by 2020 is likely to be met, while Wales is leading the UK in terms of recycling rates.
Wales accounted for 9% of UK emissions in 2015.
It works out at around 14.7 tonnes of carbon dioxide per person in Wales - slightly more than 10 years ago; the figure for the UK as a whole is around 7 tonnes and in Scotland it is around 8.4 tonnes per person.
Jessica McQuade, policy officer with environmental organisation WWF Cymru, said they were "very frustrated at the lack of progress, a feeling we're sure is felt by many other organisations and people across Wales who want climate change tackled".
She added: "Welsh Government has known for several years that we must accelerate action on emission reduction.
"But today's figures show again that incentives and programmes in Wales are not having the scale of impact needed."
WWF said it wanted to see plans to deliver in areas like renewable heat and reducing agriculture emissions.
Haf Elgar, acting director of Friends of the Earth Cymru said the report "clearly shows that we need to urgently up our game now".
"We're disappointed that emissions in Wales have flat-lined in recent years, with variations mainly due to external factors rather than government action," she said.
"We've now got the framework to deal with this in Wales with the Environment Act but need to set ambitious targets to reduce our emissions in line with the Paris Agreement."
The CCC is meeting the Welsh Government next week, with minsters due to take advice before setting the levels of its first two carbon budgets in 2018.
A Welsh Government spokesperson welcomed the report, highlighting Wales' record on leading the way with the highest recycling rates across the UK.
"Wales has a proportionately high share of the UK's electricity generation and heavy industry and is a net exporter of energy," said the spokesperson.
"Electricity produced in Wales feeds into the national grid and is consumed by homes and businesses across the UK. Taking these energy exports into account, emissions based on Wales' end-use consumption of energy have reduced significantly since 1990.
"We recognise further action is needed and our Environment Act sets us at least an 80% long term reduction by 2050."
Trinity Mirror, which publishes the Western Mail and South Wales Echo, received £7.8m for the building on Park Street in central Cardiff.
Its Welsh arm, Media Wales, moved to the six storey purpose-built office block in 2008 but following cuts, it will retain one floor as a tenant.
Accountancy firm Deloitte has taken some of the vacant space but it is not known who has bought the site.
The Toronto District School Board announced the decision citing "uncertainty" with regards to who may be affected by US President Donald's Trump's latest travel restrictions.
Twenty-five already scheduled trips will go ahead as planned.
The school board joins the Girl Guides of Canada and a few other schools in temporarily halting travel to the US.
In a statement released on Thursday, Director of Education John Malloy said that the district school board was faced with "a difficult choice", with the President Trump's latest travel restrictions facing an uncertain future pending a number of court challenges.
"We strongly believe that our students should not be placed into these situations of potentially being turned away at the border," said Mr Malloy.
"For the trips that will be continuing, should students with the appropriate documentation be denied entry to the US for no legitimate reason, the entire trip will return to Toronto and will not proceed."
The board is among the largest in North America with some 246,000 students in 584 schools throughout Toronto.
The school board says that, should the US travel restrictions be fully implemented, pre-approved trips will also be cancelled.
Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, New York, Massachusetts, and Hawaii have all launched legal challenges against the Trump administration's executive order.
Under the new US travel ban, citizens from Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen would not be permitted to enter the US, unless they have already been issued valid visas, for a 90-day period.
Some individuals from those countries would be exempt from the order, including legal permanent residents of the US and dual nationals travelling on a passport from a country not on the list.
Last week, Canada's Girl Guides announced they would not be travelling to the US until further notice.
Greater Essex County school board in south-western Ontario decided last month to cancel a handful of trips over concerns of about equity.
The Ottawa-Carleton District school board recently sent a letter to parents asking whether their children would participate in upcoming trips across the border to determine whether plans should go ahead.

Cameron Lewis, Corey Baldwin, Kieran Williams, Rhun Williams, Rhys Carre, James Botham and Morgan Morris all crossed for the visitors.
Meanwhilem, Wales' Ben Jones added 25 points with the boot.
Scotland replied through Tom Dodd, Fraser Renwick, Callum Hunter-Hill, Andrew Simmers and Robbie Nairn.
It was a non-stop spectacular affair on the artificial pitch in Cumbernauld, with almost every attack resulting in a score, and both sides collected bonus points with time to spare.
Wales got off to a flying start as centre Lewis powered over from close range within five minutes of his first start, before a leg injury cut his evening short.
Two minutes later, debutant wing Baldwin came in from the blindside following a line-out to carve down the middle unopposed.
A glorious Welsh counter-attack from inside their own half saw centre Kieran Williams scorching clear to score after 32 minutes, Jones converting all three and landing two penalties.
But Scotland finally roused themselves in the closing minutes of the half as number eight Dodd and hooker Renwick drove over for close-range scores, with Eastgate's conversion making it 27-12 at the break.
Wales regained the ascendancy as full-back Rhun Williams ran on to an awkwardly-bouncing kick to cross for the bonus-point try a minute after the interval, Jones converting and adding his third penalty.
Lock Hunter-Hill forced his way over for the home side, only for prop Carre to rumble over for a converted Wales score as the scoring feast continued.
Replacement Simmers got the fourth Scottish touch-down, diving over a ruck for Josh Henderson to convert, but Kieran Williams' second and yet another Jones conversion saw Wales past the half-century.
Back-rowers Botham and Morris added to the Welsh tally but replacement wing Nairn hit back both times with unconverted tries to leave the points total one short of the century.
Kieran Williams was named man-of-the-match.
Wales Under-20: Rhun Williams (Cardiff Blues); Corey Baldwin (Scarlets), Cameron Lewis (Cardiff Blues), Keiran Williams (Ospreys), Ryan Conbeer (Scarlets); Ben Jones (Cardiff Blues), Dane Blacker (Cardiff Blues); Rhys Carre (Cardiff Blues), Corrie Tarrant (Cardiff Blues), Keiron Assiratti (Cardiff Blues), Sean Moore (Pontypridd), Alex Dombrandt (Cardiff Met), James Botham (Cardiff Blues), Will Jones (capt) (Ospreys); Aled Ward (Cardiff Blues)
Replacements: Owen Hughes (Newport Gwent Dragons), Steff Thomas (Scarlets), Chris Coleman (Newport Gwent Dragons), Max Williams (Newport Gwent Dragons), Morgan Morris (Hartpury), Reuben Morgan-Williams (Ospreys), Arwel Robson (Newport Gwent Dragons), Phil Jones (Ospreys).
Northern hemisphere teams normally struggle to win one Test away from home, let alone two or three, so it is a huge achievement.
Each team wants to create its own history by winning Grand Slams, World Cups and the like, and this team has done that.
The series win ranks very highly in English rugby's achievements, although I wouldn't go comparing it to reaching a World Cup final, let along winning one.
England have traditionally been poor on their summer tours because they come at the end of exhausting seasons, but the enthusiasm and energy coach Eddie Jones has injected into the squad led to this superb 3-0 result.
His encyclopaedic knowledge of modern rugby has enabled him to get the best out of this England team.
He's pushed them psychologically and physically, asking good questions of them about what they want to achieve, and explaining clearly how they have to go about achieving it.
I love his comments to players, the media and the public and I think we're in for an entertaining time in the run-up to the 2019 World Cup.

To win the series 3-0 is also significant because Jones was saying "we're going to win 3-0" - like Sir Clive Woodward he put the pressure of expectation on his team.
Jones said England were going to attack Australia using 'Bodyline' tactics, challenging the Wallabies with their physicality, and they posed questions the hosts could not answer with conviction.
Flanker James Haskell played the best rugby of his England career in the first two Tests and was arguably man of the tour.
He hit hard in defence, was a real menace at the breakdown - and who knew he had that pace?
At the age of 31 the likelihood is that he and back-row partner Chris Robshaw (30) will find their places under increasing pressure, but Haskell looks to have plenty of life in him yet.
Owen Farrell was huge, and the unrelenting way he accumulates points, landing 23 out of 26 shots at goal, is so important for England. Opponents know that if they concede penalties he will punish sides.
Farrell's defence is strong - he's not afraid to put his body on the line - and although he does nothing spectacular in attack, his partnership with fly-half George Ford is proving invaluable.
It may not be sensational but it is very efficient and you have to admire the way they work together.
Maro Itoje blows me away because of his age. He's still only 21 and it's always impressive to see a young player step up to the top level and not look out of place.
Jonny Wilkinson had it when he came in and Itoje is one of those wonderful players who is going to get better too with age.
Able to play both second row and blind-side flanker, he makes an impact in so much of what he does, and it is not just his physical abilities that impress - he reads the game so well too.
He carries aggressively with pace and can also bump people off, when he hits a breakdown it's like a bird of prey swooping down to make a kill with that huge wingspan of his, and when he tackles he wraps people up in a cloak of death.
But his brain is just as important. He reads the game so well he knows what is going to happen, which helps make him so effective at the breakdown for a tall man.
And he is starting to show rugby intelligence that reminds me of Martin Johnson, in that he knows when to try it on and break a law - he'll keep gaining that advantage until the referee catches on.
He has not lost any of the 26 matches he has started this season for Saracens and England but I don't see him getting carried away - he's a well-balanced young man and has the mindset to go right to the top of the game.
When Jones took over he said "let's get back to basics", and Dylan Hartley is part of that.
Hartley has led well and he is a very good scrummaging and throwing hooker - the solidity he brings there has been an important part of laying England's solid foundations.
However, I feel he has still got to work on his contribution away from set-pieces.
Jamie George has looked lively when he has come on and I expect him to keep pushing Hartley for the number two shirt.

Jack Nowell had a difficult game in defence on Saturday but he is a very capable player and produced a great rip from the 6ft 5in Israel Folau from a high kick to prevent a try.
He needs to work on his defence but he's young enough to do that and he's got a good all-round game, including the ability to beat a man, being solid under the high ball and possessing a decent kicking game.
He will have to work harder, as will full-back Mike Brown.
He had an indifferent Six Nations and was not sensational on tour, but it's not like he's had a shocker either.
He's one of those experienced guys the team clearly needs and there's a spotlight on him purely because he only did well, while there were so many down under who did very well.
England are playing a pressure-based game that, at the moment, reminds me of Saracens about three seasons ago. They soak up pressure, hit their opponents hard and take their chances when they come.
It's not been all about defence - they have played heads-up rugby when they have had opportunities - but they have played a smart territory-based game.
Australia play a possession-based game and play more from their own half, which means there is more chance of getting knocked over.
England are putting immense pressure on the attacking side - they look to slow ball down and turn it over, then when they have the ball they aim to play for territory most of the time and squeeze sides from there.
It's a simple gameplan that when well executed causes big problems for the opposition.
Along with the likes of George Kruis, and his big brother Mako, Billy Vunipola is another player who has had a fine season.
The Saracens number eight is so big and powerful but what he needs to do now is learn to vary his game.
The opposition will know all about him and he knows he will have to start making dummy runs rather than just carrying the ball up all the time.
He needs to get a little bit fitter, use his footwork more and not be so one dimensional - big dimension though that is.
He is a very good player at the moment but as Jones has told him he can be one of the best, if not the best. In a way he represents this England team - very good, with wonderful foundations, but with the potential to be even better.
The 3-0 win over Australia is a magnificent achievement, but by playing smart rugby England can really go on to another level. Just like Billy, they have a very bright future.
Jeremy Guscott was talking to BBC Sport's James Standley.
In total, 17,316 EU students applied - up from 16,348 in 2011, figures from the admissions service, Ucas, show.
EU law says EU students must be treated as locals, so - like Scottish students - they will not pay fees in Scotland.
But EU applications to English, Welsh and Northern Irish universities - where they will pay up to £9,000 a year - fell by 16.5%, 14% and 8% respectively.
This means 6,065 fewer EU students applied for places at universities in England for 2012.
In Wales, 543 fewer applied and in Northern Ireland, 177 fewer applied.
From the autumn, fees will rise to up to £9,000 a year in England.
Fees are also rising up to this maximum level in other parts of the UK, although students in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales who stay in their home nation to study will not be affected.
British-born Michael Kind, who is 17, has been living in Germany for the past few years, because of his parents' work.
As a result, he is now classed as an EU student, so would not have to pay fees if he went to university in Scotland.
Students who come to Scotland from England, Wales and Northern Ireland, on the other hand, will be liable for fees of up to £9,000 a year from the autumn, although those coming from Wales will be subsidised by the Welsh government.
Michael attends an international school in Berlin where he is studying for the International Baccalaureate.
He said he and his friends had done a lot of research into where to apply for university, in particular weighing up universities in the United States with those in the UK.
"There are a lot of factors you have to consider," he said.
"We are not the wealthiest family so price is always going to play a role. Scotland is a viable option."
He said he felt in an "awkward position" because he did not think "this loophole" was fair, but would do what was best for himself.
"I like the idea of equality. I don't find it fair that Europeans can get in cheaper because they have lived in a different country," he said.
It costs Scotland £75m a year to fund EU students, and that will rise if numbers go up. Ministers in Edinburgh are looking to see if they can change the rules.
Alan Trench, an academic from Edinburgh University and author of a blog,Devolution Matters, said: "It's an anomaly caused by the structure of devolution.
"Politically, it is clearly causing some concern in England and financially, it is expensive for the Scottish government.
"The solution to the problem is far from clear."
The attraction of no fees is also luring English students who live near the Scottish border.
Berwickshire High School in the Scottish borders has pupils who live in England and Scotland, so some will get a free university education and some will not.
Kate, 16, and her family moved six miles three years ago to ensure she was resident in Scotland and would avoid tuition fees there.
"It just hits you sometimes, I think, 'Gosh, I could have been landed with £36,000 debt if I'd done a four-year degree in England.'
Robyn, 17, has always been at school in Scotland, but lives in England, so will have to pay full fees at a Scottish university.
"I've never been in English education and Scottish education has always suited me, so I always thought I wouldn't pay them [tuition fees], so when I found out it was quite difficult.
"I'm part of a Scottish school, I've always been part of Scotland, but I'm considered different and it's difficult to deal with."
Grant, 17, said he was only considering study at a Scottish university, because his family was already struggling with his older sister's fees in England.
"I know that the English universities are very good and they've got very high standards, but I do feel, because of the financial situation, it's just not an option for me."
The head teacher, Rob Kelly, said the new fee structure for higher education had had a notable impact on students' choices.
"There's been a clear reduction in the number of young people applying to go south of the border to English universities.
"Normally we have between 15 to 20 young people choosing to look south. This year I think we have seven all together - and I think that's a sign of things to come."
The government in England says that students should not be put off applying to university when fees rise in the autumn - because no-one has to pay any fees upfront.
The fees will be covered by student loans, which graduates will only have to begin paying back once they are earning more than £21,000 a year.
The 23-year-old Dutchman arrived in Dingwall in October following his release from Go Ahead Eagles.
The former Netherlands U21 international has scored eight goals, including a last-minute winner in the League Cup final.
"We're delighted to get that over the line," County manager Jim McIntyre told BBC Scotland.
"Alex has done fantastically well since he's come to the club.
"He realises this has been good for him as well as it has for us. He's at a place where he feels he can grow and keep get better.
"He's got a coaching staff that really believes in him, a good group of team mates as well and he's happy within the club."
Contract talks lasted a number of weeks with County able to secure a deal, despite reported interest in the player from other clubs.
"There's always speculation when players are scoring goals, especially when he scores a winner in a cup final," added McIntyre.
"He had every right just to wait and see what offers were on the table. We just showed how much we wanted him here and we convinced him that this is the right place for him to be for the next year or so."
Schalk's retention is another example of McIntyre completing business early in advance of next season, as he did last term when recruiting a host of new players in an overhaul of the squad.
The former Dunfermline and Queen of the South manager concedes that there will be less activity over the summer.
"It'll certainly be a lot different than what it was last season when I was chasing umpteen players," he said.
"We've got a far more settled squad. There'll be additions but they won't be wholesale."
After achieving County's first major trophy in the League Cup and earning a top six place this term, McIntyre admitted his delight at being one of the nominees for PFA Scotland's Manager of the Year, to be announced on Sunday evening.
"Obviously, I'm very honoured that I've been nominated and it's just a reflection on how well everybody's done at the club," he said.
"There's some fantastic nominees and also ones that haven't been nominated have had great seasons also so I feel very privileged."
The new buzzwords are to be "outcomes" and "indicators".
They are words most people living in Scotland or Finland will be very familiar with.
Because Stormont's administrators have been studying what happens in those countries and they like what they see.
Scotland has a series of sixteen National Outcomes which describe what the Government there wants to do over the next ten years.
This so-called outcomes based approach to government focuses on actual results achieved.
The theory is it allows the government and wider public sector to focus on making sustainable improvements to public services and the quality of life for people in Scotland.
A series of indicators allow them to track progress towards the achievements of these outcomes.
Sources close to the negotiations for a programme for government at Stormont say this is the model they intend to follow.
One source said it is about "doing things differently" and denied the change was merely cosmetic.
As a first step a "framework" programme for government will be produced in just over a fortnight. It will then go out to consultation.
At the end of this year it will be replaced with a detailed programme for government.
There will also be a budget, not for one year but for the next three to four years.
And there will be documents setting out strategies on the economy, capital investment and social policy strategy.
Sources say this is not a programme for one Assembly mandate but for a 10 - 15 year period.
They say it will also require the civil service to be "more outward facing."
Politically, this seems the model Sinn Féin and the DUP intend to move forward with - with or without the other parties.
Can the SDLP, Ulster Unionists and Alliance agree to go into the next Executive on the basis of a "framework" programme knowing they won't get the real detail for another seven months?
The 37-year-old re-signed for the county in February after his bowling action was cleared following a ban, but he is not expected at Worcester until after Pakistan's tour of Bangladesh.
The tour, in April and May, is still to be officially finalised.
"We're waiting to hear from Pakistan whether the trip will go ahead," said director of cricket Steve Rhodes.
"He'll be here to play for us at some stage, sooner rather than later. When it will be we just don't know," he told BBC Hereford & Worcester.
Ajmal, who has taken 178 wickets at an average of 28.10 in 35 Tests, spent the winter remodelling his action after he was banned from bowling in September.
"His action is a bit more orthodox now he's had to make a few changes but he's a very determined character," added Rhodes.
"He's bowled thousands and thousands of balls to get his action cleared again and we're looking for him to make an impact in country cricket again."
Pakistan's tour, which is scheduled to begin on 15 April and involves two Tests, two ODIs and a T20, has been approved by the Pakistan government, subject to security clearance.
Newly promoted Worcestershire begin their County Championship season on 12 April at home to defending champions Yorkshire.
England all-rounder Moeen Ali could figure in the season opener, having practised this week following an abdominal strain suffered during the World Cup.
Moeen was left out of England's squad to tour the West Indies, but he may play against Yorkshire before possibly joining the Test squad in the Caribbean.
The 29-year-old had a short-term loan deal at Bath earlier this season but is now back at the Championship outfit.
Wales-born Allinson is a former Cardiff Blues number nine, but joined London Irish in 2010.
"I'm really excited to be returning to Bath next year and looking forward to getting a solid pre-season under my belt," he told Bath's club website.
"There is a great deal of competition and experience in the number nine shirt and that is something that brings the very best out of me as a player."
The marsupial, which terrorised South America 3.5 million years ago, had the biggest canine teeth for its size.
Experts say the big beast possessed extreme adaptations to the "sabretooth lifestyle".
The killing behaviour of Thylacosmilus atrox is described in Plos One.
Until now, the extinct sabretooth "tiger" Smilodon fatalis has received most attention as a ferocious sabretooth predator.
But millions of years earlier, a pouched marsupial was one of dozens of sabretooths that had roamed the Earth before the better known Smilodon, which went extinct at the end of the last Ice Age.
Like Smilodon, Thylacosmilus had highly specialised canines adapted to kill large beasts but until now little was known about the exact way it killed its prey.
Scientists took CT scans of fossil remains to construct high-resolution digital 3D models of both sabretooth beasts, and compared them with the modern leopard.
The simulations were digitally loaded with forces to see how the animals would have behaved when biting and killing prey.
The work was led by Stephen Wroe from the University of New South Wales, Australia, who explained that Thylacosmilus's closest living relatives are Australian and American marsupials.
"We found that both sabretooth species were similar in possessing weak jaw-muscle-driven bites compared with the leopard, but the mechanical performance of the sabretooths' skulls showed that they were both well-adapted to resist forces generated from very powerful neck muscles," he told BBC News.
For its size - Thylacosmilus's huge canine teeth were larger than those of any other known sabretooth. The roots of these canines went back to within millimetres of its very small brain case.
"Thylacosmilus was even more extreme. Its skull easily outperformed that of the placental Smilodon and was much better adapted to resist forces incurred by a neck-driven bite."
This adaptation was vital as its long thin canines were vulnerable to snapping. To hunt, the animal had to secure and immobilise large prey using its powerful forearms before inserting its long canines into the windpipe or major arteries of the neck - "a mix of brute force and delicate precision".
These adaptations allowed for a relatively rapid kill of dangerous big prey.
"The bottom line is that the huge sabres of Thylacosmilus were driven home by the neck muscles alone - and - because the teeth were actually quite fragile - this must have been achieved with surprising precision," said Dr Wroe.
"It may not have been the smartest of mammalian super-predators, but in terms of specialisation Thylacosmilus took the already extreme sabretooth lifestyle to a whole new level, which clearly exceeded that of the much better known sabretooth tiger."
Halfpenny's contract with Toulon runs out in summer 2016, and with Wasps losing All Black Charles Piutau at the end of the campaign, Young is not surprised at the reports.
"Leigh Halfpenny is an obvious one," Young said.
"I'm just looking forward to seeing who we get linked with next week."
Wasps are not the only club being linked with a move for the 26-year-old Halfpenny, who missed the recent Rugby World Cup because of injury.
His former side Cardiff Blues are reportedly interested, while Scarlets have said they would be keen to take the player back to Wales.
"I know Leigh really well. I was at Cardiff when he came through the system. We all know he is a quality player." Young added.
"We will make no bones about it - this is recruitment season and we are looking at getting the best for us.
"It is a great situation to be in, getting linked with these players. But there's no point me saying much more than we are at a point where we are looking to strengthen our squad."
Former Wales and Lions scrum-half Robert Jones wants Halfpenny to continue his career in Wales.
But he feels Halfpenny could help Wasps achieve their ambitions.
"They're a very ambitious club and Dai Young is a very ambitious coach and I think we've seen already in the European competition that they're a side capable of winning silverware this season," Jones told BBC Radio Wales.
"And I think they want to progress to become the best they probably can.
"Leigh Halfpenny is a player who would fit in to ensuring that they do.
"I think Dai Young will be desperately keen to get him on board.
"I hope he comes back to Wales, but ultimately it's going to boil down to the offer that's on the table."

Has the situation improved since then?
Ahead of the presidential elections on 28 March, BBC Africa tells you what you need to know about the nation's power generation.

Robert Fidler, 66, hid the building behind straw bales for four years when he built it in Redhill, Surrey.
Following almost a decade of legal battles he has been told to demolish it by June or face three months in prison.
He said: "This is our home. Everybody who comes here says they just feel this is home."
Mr Fidler, who gave the BBC a tour of his property, said: "It's got such a warmth about it.
"We have so many things going on the kids love to be here."
He added: "We've got three bedrooms and one little box room so it's not as big as people seem to think.
"At least we can enjoy it for this winter.
"Then we'll have to start making plans, maybe they'll let us keep part of it? Reduce the size of it or something, maybe reduce it to a bungalow?"
Mr Fidler said he had contacted firms to find out how much the demolition of his property would cost but as he had until June to comply with the court he would not be tearing down his house in the middle of winter.
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council first told Mr Fidler to demolish his home in 2007.
In November, he appeared in court again and claiming he could not destroy the castle as bats, which are protected by law, were roosting in the property.
However, a High Court judge disagreed, giving him a three-month suspended sentence.
He said Mr Fidler would be jailed for his "defiance" if the property was not demolished by June.
Abdulhameed Alyousef originally thought his nine-month-old twins Aya and Ahmed were unaffected by the air strike and left them with their mother Dalal while he went to help relatives nearby.
But later he found out that all three had died in the incident.
"I left Ahmed and Aya in good health," he said through tears in an interview.
"Why did this happen? I thought they were OK. Now they are gone."
Khan Sheikhoun was hit by three explosions on Tuesday morning, followed by a rocket that hit a hospital treating the injured and hundreds suffered symptoms consistent with reaction to a nerve agent.
Mr Alyousef's house was hit in the second blast.
He said that he heard the first explosion and then left his wife and children to go to see if he could help other survivors in his neighbourhood.
"When I went to the street, I saw the gas was taking effect on them," he said. "I helped them, trying to lift them up - I wanted to save them. I couldn't go back to my family because I was helping people."
When he reached his parents' house, Mr Alyousef said he found the bodies of his brother Yasser and his children.
"He had been trying to help his son - they died on top of each other. I saw the foam coming out of their mouths, and they were blue."
In total, 22 members of Mr Alyousef's family died in the attack. As well as his wife and twins, he lost two brothers, his parents and several nieces and nephews.
Syria chemical attack: What we know
The spectre of nerve agents - again
Why is there a war in Syria?
As he was trying to save one of his nieces, Mr Alyousef began to suffer the symptoms of nerve gas himself and collapsed.
He was taken to hospital where he asked about his own family.
"I asked them 'where are my babies and my wife?'," he said.
Mr Alyousef said that at first he was told his family was alive but later he was taken to see their bodies.
"I left them in the house and they were OK and they brought them to me dead. They were suffocated.
"Why did they kill them? Why with gas? What did they do?"

East Midlands Ambulance Service (Emas) took 3,000 calls on Sunday - a third more than usual - with most coming in the early hours.
It said it was sustained pressure into the late afternoon that led to an incident being declared.
Managers also had to ask neighbouring services for help.
Emas, which covers Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire, said the incident was declared at 17:30 GMT on Sunday and scaled back at 21:00 GMT.
It led to paramedics having to reduce their meal breaks from 45 to 20 minutes to keep more ambulances available.
Chief operating officer Dave Whiting said it was a "critical event".
He said: "We faced the busiest 48 hours we've ever faced in the ambulance service.
"Yesterday, where we would normally expect to take 2,000 emergency calls, we took 3,000. A large proportion of those were in the first six hours which we would expect to see during New Year's Eve night."
He added: "Rather than see a drop off in activity during the day on New Year's Day which we typically see, the demand kept coming right through to the evening."
The expected spike in the early hours of Sunday saw a large number of alcohol-related incidents, but during the day it was a "broad range" of calls.
Mr Whiting said a investigation and debrief would try to establish why there was such high demand on Sunday afternoon.
Emas - which is already the worst performing ambulance service in England - said that throughout December, 57% of all calls were categorised as the most serious compared with the expected rate of 42%.
Figures over the whole festive period were also higher than previous years.
The gang tried to force open a cash machine outside a Waitrose in Kenilworth with an angle grinder, circular saw, crowbars and a hydraulic cutter.
They sped off empty handed, taking police from three forces on a high-speed pursuit during their getaway.
The men were jailed from three to 12 years at Birmingham Crown Court.
They were detained in Mile Oak, Tamworth on 29 September after a pursuit involving officers from Warwickshire, West Midlands and Staffordshire, and a police helicopter.
West Midlands Police said the gang hacked at the cash machine with the equipment.
"Sparks flew as they used an angle grinder to slice open the machine frontage but despite concerted efforts they were unable to breach its cash defences," a police spokesman said.
Residents at homes overlooking the Bertie Road shop were woken by the noise at 03:20 BST.
Police said unmarked traffic cars followed the gang on the M42 where "racetrack-like speeds" were reached in a stolen Audi RS7.
But they were monitored by a police helicopter, which directed officers to flats in Mile Oak.
Pedro Taylor, 30, of no fixed abode, and 27-year-old Jason Hadley of Harcourt Road, Birmingham, were each sentenced to three years in prison for conspiracy to steal over the botched raid.
Two of the men were also sentenced for their part in a separate plot to rob a jeweller thought to be carrying thousands of pounds of diamonds. Mark Kirk, 34, of Cadbury Drive, Castle Vale, Birmingham, was jailed for 11 years, six months while Dean Beech, 37, of Courtney Road, Great Barr, was jailed for 12 years.
They were convicted of conspiracy to steal, conspiracy to commit robbery and aggravated vehicle taking in February. They were sentenced with Darren Bowman, 47, of Kingswood Road, Moseley, Birmingham.
Bowman, accused of planning the diamond robbery, was sentenced to six years, two months.
Scotland's chief veterinary officer said the discovery confirmed that H5N8 avian influenza was present in the country's wild bird population.
Sheila Voas urged the public to be vigilant for signs of disease in both wild and domestic birds.
Two more cases of birds infected with avian influenza have also been detected in England.
The H5N8 strain has been spreading rapidly in Europe, though it is considered far less risky than the H5N1 outbreak in 2006, and is believed to pose a low risk to humans.
Ms Voas said: "This underlines the crucial importance of bird keepers and members of the public remaining vigilant for signs of disease in domestic or wild birds.
"Any dead wild swans, geese, ducks or gulls, falcons or other birds of prey or five or more dead wild birds of other species in the same location, should be reported to the Defra helpline"
The Scottish government said there was strong evidence from Europe that the disease was getting into housed poultry.
The heavy rainfall brought by Storm Barbara could heighten the risk of contaminated water entering poultry houses, it added.
Producers have already been ordered to house birds or ensure they are kept separate from wild birds.
Rural Economy Secretary Fergus Ewing said: "With the recent disease confirmations in both England and Wales, it is not unexpected for avian influenza to be found in a wild bird here in Scotland.
"We have already made clear that all bird keepers - whether major businesses or small keepers with just a few birds - must ensure that their bio security is up to scratch and prevent any contact between their birds and wild birds."
A further two cases of avian influenza have been detected in wild wigeons in Somerset and Leicestershire.
NFU Scotland said it was a "very worrying" time for poultry keepers.
An NFU spokesman said: "Whether your poultry flock is large or small, we urge you to ensure your bio-security measures to protect the health of your flock are as robust as possible.
"Given the spread of the disease in wild birds, flock owners must continue to comply with the Avian Influenza Prevention Zone, put in place on 6 December, which requires that all poultry and captive birds in Scotland be kept indoors, or otherwise kept separate from wild birds."
The spokesman added that consumers should have no concerns about eating eggs or poultry meat.
The Defra helpline number is 03459 335577 and it can also be contacted by email.
Ond fe ddyfarnodd y llys nad oes rhaid iddyn nhw ofyn am ganiatâd Llywodraeth Cymru a chyrff datganoledig eraill cyn dechrau proses Brexit.
Fe bleidleisiodd y Goruchaf Lys o wyth i dri i wrthod apêl Llywodraeth y DU.
Daw eu penderfyniad ddydd Mawrth wedi i'r llywodraeth herio dyfarniad blaenorol fis Tachwedd.
Dyma un o'r achosion cyfansoddiadol mwyaf arwyddocaol i gyrraedd prif lys Prydain.
Roedd yr Arglwydd Neuberger, cadeirydd y Goruchaf Lys, yn glir yn ei ddyfarniad mai nid achos yn ystyried a ddylid gadael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd neu beidio oedd hwn, ond achos am bwy oedd â'r grym i ddechrau'r broses.
Nid y llywodraeth sydd â'r grym, yn ôl mwyafrif barnwyr y Goruchaf Lys, ond y Senedd. Ac felly o fewn y dyddiau nesaf fe fydd y llywodraeth yn cyflwyno mesur i'r Senedd.
Yn ôl y barnwyr, penderfyniad i'r llywodraeth yw pa fath o fesur fydd hwn, ond mae'n debygol o fod yn fyr iawn, o bosib dim ond un llinell, er mwyn cyfyngu ar allu aelodau i'w newid.
Dyw hynny ddim yn golygu na fydden nhw'n trio. Mae Plaid Cymru, y blaid Lafur, yr SNP a'r Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol yn dweud eu bod nhw'n paratoi gwelliannau er mwyn gallu clymu dwylo'r prif weindiog yn y trafodaethau.
Er fod y dyfarniad yn ei gwneud hi'n bosib i ASau ac arglwyddi atal y broses o adael, mewn gwirionedd mae hynny yn annebygol iawn o ddigwydd. Prin fydd yr aelodau fydd eisiau mynd yn erbyn canlyniad y refferendwm.
Ond fydd 'na siom yn Llywodraeth Cymru na fydd llais i aelodau'r Cynulliad yn y broses hon. Roedden nhw wedi dadlau bod angen pleidlais yn y Cynulliad hefyd, ond roedd y barnwyr yn unfrydol nad oedd achos cyfreithiol i roi pledilais i'r sefydliadau datganoledig.
Mae'r dadlau cyfreithiol nawr ar ben. Ond fe fydd y frwydr wleidyddol dros y math o Brexit y cawn ni yn parhau.
Mynnodd Llywodraeth y DU na fyddai'r dyfarniad yn newid eu cynlluniau ar ddechrau'r broses o adael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd.
"Mae pobl Prydain wedi pleidleisio i adael yr UE, ac fe fydd y llywodraeth yn gweithredu'r penderfyniad hwnnw - gan danio Erthygl 50 fel y cynlluniwyd - erbyn diwedd mis Mawrth," meddai llefarydd.
"Dyw dyfarniad heddiw ddim yn gwneud unrhyw beth i newid hynny."
Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran Llywodraeth Cymru eu bod yn "croesawu" y dyfarniad fyddai'n golygu bod yn rhaid i Lywodraeth y DU gael caniatâd y Senedd cyn tanio Erthygl 50.
"Mae'n hanfodol i Lywodraeth y DU negodi mewn ffordd sy'n adlewyrchu buddiannau Cymru a'r Deyrnas Unedig yn gyfan - mae Prif Weinidog y DU eisoes wedi ymrwymo'n gyhoeddus i wneud hyn", meddai'r llefarydd.
"Mae'r dyfarniad yn cynnal ac yn cydnabod pwysigrwydd confensiwn Sewel, sef na fydd Senedd y DU fel rheol yn deddfu mewn meysydd sydd wedi'u datganoli i Gymru a'r llywodraethau datganoledig eraill heb eu cydsyniad.
"Bydd Llywodraeth Cymru'n parhau i weithio'n agos gyda Llywodraeth y DU a'r gweinyddiaethau datganoledig eraill drwy'r Cyd-bwyllgor Gweinidogion er mwyn dylanwadu ar safbwynt y Deyrnas Unedig yn gyffredinol. Ein nod yw cadw mynediad at y farchnad sengl i fusnesau a diogelu swyddi a buddsoddi yng Nghymru, ynghyd â hawliau gweithwyr."
Ychwanegodd Jo Stevens AS, llefarydd Llafur ar Gymru, bod y penderfyniad yn ddiwrnod da i sofraniaeth y Senedd, a bod y llywodraeth wedi gwastraffu 82 diwrnod ac arian yn herio penderfyniad yr Uchel Lys.
Dywedodd arweinydd grŵp Plaid Cymru yn San Steffan, Hywel Williams AS eu bod yn "croesawu" dyfarniad y Goruchaf Lys, ond fe rybuddiodd y dylai Theresa May gofio ei bod yn cynrychioli "buddiannau mwy nag un wlad" yn y trafodaethau i ddod.
Ac fe ddywedodd AC Plaid Cymru, Adam Price ei fod yn siomedig tu hwnt â dyfarniad y llys ar y gwledydd datganoledig ac y byddai ei blaid yn pleidleisio yn erbyn tanio Erthygl 50.
Dywedodd Mark Williams AS, arweinydd y Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol yng Nghymru, ei fod yn croesawu'r dyfarniad ac "yn galw ar i'r bobl gael dweud eu dweud ar y fargen derfynol ar Brexit".
Ychwanegodd: "Mae'n rhaid i Lywodraeth y DU barchu setliad datganoledig Prydain a hawl y senedd-dai datganoledig i siapio'r broses o adael yr UE."
Roedd arweinydd y Ceidwadwyr yng Nghymru, Andrew RT Davies, yn fwy croesawgar o ddyfarniad y llys nad oedd angen gofyn am ganiatâd Llywodraeth Cymru.
"Da gweld eglurder i'r llywodraethau datganoledig ar ddyfraniad Erthygl 50, fel petai unrhyw amheuaeth," meddai mewn neges drydar.
The 21-year-old was arrested by Cheshire Police after being stopped near junction 20 of the southbound M6 in the early hours of 22 October.
He will appear before North Cheshire magistrates in Runcorn on 19 January.
The England Under-21 international has scored 13 times in 24 appearances for the Baggies this season, and has been linked with a big-money transfer to a top Premier League club.
The player's form earned him a call-up to the full England squad in November but he did not play in matches against Slovenia and Scotland.
Berahino,who came to the UK from war-torn Burundi as a child, signed a new three-and-a-half-year contract with West Brom in December 2013.
David Mills, Michael Bancroft, Mark Dobson, Alison Mills, Jonathan Cohen and Tony Cartwright, have pleaded not guilty.
Southwark Crown Court was told that the six were involved in a racket led by another man, Lynden Scourfield.
He was the former head of the HBOS "impaired assets" division in Reading.
Prosecutors allege that between 2003 and 2007, he abused his role overseeing the supposed recovery of the bank's small business customers who were in financial difficulty, in the whole of the South of England.
Scourfield, the court was told, advanced huge extra sums to the businesses from HBOS, "well past the point when it would have been obvious to any honest banker that the bank debt could and would never be repaid", said the prosecutor, Brian O'Neill QC.
He then insisted the troubled businesses engage the services of Quayside Corporate Services, his favoured firm of "turnaround" consultants run by one of the accused, David Mills, a former banker.
In return Scourfield, who is not on trial, received "huge rewards" including cash, gifts, luxurious holidays and sex with "high class escorts".
That in turn gave Mr Mills the opportunity to extract large sums from the small business customers in consultancy "fees".
More than £28m passed through the personal accounts of Mr Mills and his wife Alison, from Moreton-in-Marsh in Gloucestershire, the crown alleges.
However the additional benefit of the corrupt relationship for Mills and associates was the opportunity to take control of various businesses and in some cases to take ownership of them in order to enrich themselves.
Total losses to HBOS from loans made to the small business customers under Mr Scourfield's supervision were £245m, Brian O'Neill QC told the court.
The accused were "not troubled" by the effect on the business customers.
"Many individuals suffered great financial loss and considerable personal trauma as a result of their callous disregard for the businesses they had established, owned and managed," said Mr O'Neill.
The six defendants are charged with six counts of conspiracy to corrupt, fraudulent trading and conspiracy to conceal criminal property.
David Mills and Michael Bancroft ran Quayside Corporate Services, Tony Cartwright and Jonathan Cohen were accountants, and Mark Dobson was an HBOS manager.
HBOS is now part of the Lloyds Banking Group.
Manchester's Victoria Baths trustees visited Newcastle's City Pool to see how they can emulate its redevelopment.
The North East baths were saved by campaigners and taken over by sport and leisure charity Fusion Lifestyle.
Victoria Baths' Gill Wright said Newcastle was a "flagship" for making historic pools "fit for today".
"There is huge interest in buildings like these that provide a very different leisure experience to modern pools," she said.
Opened in 1928, Newcastle's Grade II-listed pool and Turkish baths were closed in 2013 because of council budget cuts.
Campaigners successfully bid for them to be registered as an asset of community value last year.
Fusion Lifestyle was granted a lease and listed building planning permission and has started work on a £5m restoration of the historic building.
Director of operations Anthony Cawley said it had "obviously been hard for councils to maintain historic leisure facilities".
"We hope that this partnership can be used as a blueprint for other pools across the UK," he said.
Assistant coach Orr, 39, has been in the Cas backroom team since his retirement as a player in 2012.
Sheridan, 42, also assistant coach, previously worked alongside Tigers head coach Daryl Powell at Featherstone.
Head of strength and conditioning Cooper follows head physio Matty Crowther in penning a new contract.
Powell said: "I'm absolutely delighted that our coaching staff have agreed to extend their stay at the club.
"I believe we have a staff that is second to none, we have worked exceptionally hard as a coaching group to build a culture and an identity as a team, and I am so pleased that Danny, Ryan and Ben will continue their journey with myself and the club as we seek to do special things at the Tigers."
Russell Brand disagrees. The comedian's not going to vote at the General Election in May, and wants others to do the same.
In an interview with BBC Newsnight, Brand explained the current political system has created a "disenfranchised, disillusioned underclass".
A group of bishops has attacked Brand's view that voting is pointless.
In an open 52-page letter, the House of Bishops call for a "fresh moral" vision from politicians.
The Bishop of Norwich, the Rt Rev Graham James explained: "While the bishops of the Church of England don't quite have the sex appeal of Russell Brand, we think we should counter [his views].
"Do vote, do engage and do use the hard-won political freedoms that you possess."
The letter stayed clear of getting behind a particular party, but calls for us to discuss issues such as nuclear weapons and the economy.
While Brand says he won't vote because he's tired of the "lies, treachery and deceit of the political class", but the letter calls for Christians to see ignore him.
"It is the duty of every Christian adult to vote, even though it may have to be a vote for something less than a vision that inspires us."

Jamie Walsh's body was found after officers were called to a disturbance at a flat in Wren Road at about 19:10 on Thursday.
The arrested man is expected to appear at Greenock Sheriff Court on Monday.
The change in status means combatants will now be officially subject to the Geneva Conventions, leaving them more exposed to war crimes prosecutions.
The Red Cross had previously regarded only the areas around Idlib, Homs and Hama as war zones.
Meanwhile, the Syrian government is disputing claims it used heavy weapons.
Activists initially described fighting on Thursday in the village of Tremseh near Hama as a massacre of dozens of civilians, but later accounts suggested most of the dead were armed rebels.
The UN accused Syrian forces of using heavy artillery, tanks and helicopters, but Damascus denied those allegations and said just two civilians had been killed.
The accusations, if proved, would mean Damascus had broken an agreement it made with envoy Kofi Annan.
Later on Sunday, video footage emerged purporting to show heavy fighting in southern Damascus.
Activists claimed the fighting was the most intense seen in the capital since the start of anti-government protests in March last year.
They said tanks and mortars were used, and in some areas residents were fleeing.
There has been no independent confirmation of their claims.
The International Committee of the Red Cross, which oversees the Geneva Conventions, said fighting had now spread beyond the three hotspots of Idlib, Homs and Hama.
Spokesman Hicham Hassan said Syria was now regarded as a "non-international armed conflict", which is the technical term for civil war.
"What matters is that international humanitarian law applies wherever hostilities between government forces and opposition groups are taking place across the country," he said.
The BBC's Imogen Foulkes in Geneva says the statement is significant because it is the Red Cross' job to monitor the conduct of the fighting, and to tell warring parties what their obligations are.
Under the Geneva Conventions, indiscriminate attacks on civilians, attacks on medical personnel or the destruction of basic services like water or electricity are forbidden and can be prosecuted as war crimes.
From now on, all those fighting in Syria are officially subject to the laws of war, and could end up at a war crimes tribunal if they disobey them.
Last month, the UN's head of peacekeeping Herve Ladsous also said Syria was in a state of civil war.
And Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has previously said the country is in a state of war.
Some 16,000 people are thought to have been killed since the uprising against Mr Assad's regime began in March 2011.
UN diplomats are attempting to agree a way forward for the organisation's monitoring mission in the country.
The mission's mandate runs out on Friday, and Western nations are trying to get Russia and China to agree to a beefed-up resolution authorising sanctions.
The 25-year-old will join compatriots Hamish Rutherford and Neil Broom at the County Ground.
Neesham has played in 13 Twenty20 matches, nine Tests and 19 one-day internationals for the Kiwis.
"He's an exciting talent and has the capability to win games with both bat and ball," said elite performance director Graeme Welch.
"To have three internationals, all of whom are team-mates in New Zealand, available for the entire T20 Blast campaign is massive and will provide us with stability on the field and within the dressing room."
Teams are normally allowed to play only two overseas players in the T20 Blast, but Broom holds a UK passport.
"The three of us being able to contribute as a unit is a big attraction and should give us a real head start," said Neesham, who has also played in the Indian Premier League for Delhi Daredevils.
Lieutenant Negar was shot in the neck near police headquarters in the provincial capital, Lashkar Gah.
She is the third senior policewoman to be killed in recent months. Her predecessor in Helmand, Islam Bibi, was killed on her way to work in July.
Police in Helmand face the twin threats of Taliban insurgents and drug traders.
No group has said it carried out the latest attack. A spokesman for the governor of Helmand described Lt Negar's assailants as "enemies of Afghanistan".
The BBC's David Loyn in Kabul says Afghan troops and police are increasingly bearing the load as British and American troops draw down their forces.
Women make up just under 1% of Afghanistan's police, with nearly 1,600 policewomen serving and about 200 more in training.
Lt Negar, known only by her surname, was walking near police headquarters when she was shot by a gunman on a motorbike, officials say.
Helmand Provincial governor's spokesman Omar Zawak told the Associated Press news agency that the 38-year-old suffered a bullet wound to the neck.
In a recent interview with the New York Times, Lt Negar said she loved her job, and felt it was important that women came forward to work for the police.
After her two female colleagues were killed in July, she said her role was to give courage to the 30 or so other women police officers in Helmand and boost their morale.
Lt Negar served as a sub-inspector in the police criminal investigation department in Helmand.
She took over when 37-year-old Islam Bibi was shot dead in July. Lt Bibi had been hailed as a role model for other women in the conservative province.
Several prominent Afghan women have been attacked or kidnapped in recent months.
Earlier this month the Taliban released a female member of parliament who they had held hostage for a month.
In August, insurgents ambushed the convoy of a female Afghan senator, seriously wounding her and killing her nine-year-old daughter.
In 2008 gunmen in Kandahar killed Lt-Col Malalai Kakar, the country's most prominent policewoman and head of Kandahar's department of crimes against women.
Afghanistan's Independent Human Rights Commission says general violence against women has increased sharply over the last two years, and donor nations have expressed fears that advances in women's rights could be at risk when Nato-led troops withdraw next year.
Poppi Iris Worthington died in December 2012. Her father, Paul, 46, and a 30-year-old woman were later arrested.
An inquest in October ruled the cause of death could not be ascertained and their bail was cancelled.
Lawyers for several media groups wrote to senior coroner David Roberts to argue the inquest was "insufficient" and therefore "unlawful".
Ian Smith, the original coroner who has now retired, took seven minutes to declare the death of Poppi Worthington as unexplained at the inquest.
Following the media's concerns surrounding the "secrecy" of her death, Mr Roberts said he would ask the Attorney General for a fresh inquest.
He said: "My own view is that it would be desirable for a fresh inquest to take place, not least so that conclusions as to how, when and where Poppi Worthington came by her death can be recorded.
"Neither I nor Mr Smith has power to hold a further inquest without the permission of the High Court."
On Wednesday High Court judge Mr Justice Peter Jackson varied reporting restrictions, allowing Poppi Worthington's home town of Barrow-in-Furness to be reported.
Cumbria Police said a file had been passed to the Crown Prosecution Service for consideration whether to bring criminal proceedings.
A CPS spokesman said: "We have received a file from Cumbria Constabulary on this case and we will be making a decision as soon as is practicably possible."
The initial police investigation is being probed by the Independent Police Complaints Commission and an officer remains suspended.
The agreement covers MOTD's Sunday morning repeat, MOTD2, Football Focus and a new midweek show on Wednesday nights on BBC Two and BBC Two HD.
MOTD, which is in its 50th year, and MOTD2 have a combined weekly audience of nine million.
MOTD presenter Gary Lineker said he was "thrilled" with the news.
Barbara Slater, the director BBC Sport, called the programme "the most iconic brand in television sport".
She added that it was "very exciting" to be able to add a new midweek show to the mix that would reflect "the continued appetite for Premier League action and analysis".
The BBC's Premier League programmes will also be available on the iPlayer.
Lineker is joined in MOTD studio each week by regular pundits Alan Shearer, Robbie Savage, Danny Murphy and Phil Neville, with guest appearances from Rio Ferdinand and Ruud Gullit.
Reacting to Thursday's announcement, BBC director general Tony Hall said: "Sport matters. It brings the nation together.
"It can break hearts and raise spirits. And because it matters to the public, it also matters to the BBC. That's why it's fantastic news that we have kept the Premier League highlights."
A Sinn Féin motion was passed by council last week to boycott Israeli goods.
DUP MLA Gary Middleton, a critic of the motion, said councillors should to give up their iPads if they were "serious about the boycott".
Apple use flash memory components manufactured by Israeli company Anobit.
"It is quite clear that there should have been more information sought before the motion was brought," Mr Middleton said.
"I think we all realise the huge role that the research and development sector within Israel plays.
"The iPhone I'm using, the iPads the council use, they all use components that come out of Israel.
"The motion has raised the serious issue of discrimination, I put the question to the first minister and she herself had been contacted by the Jewish community expressing their concerns," Mr Middleton added.
Sinn Féin councillor Christopher Jackson, who proposed the motion, defended its aims.
"The wording of the motion actually states that council investigate the most practical means of implementing the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) campaign.
"The comments from Gary Middleton are nonsensical and he is just looking to grab headlines.
"The motion itself was symbolic and in my view it has been successful in raising awareness in the council area and elsewhere.
"Any attempts to try and link the BDS campaign with anti-Semitism is absolutely wrong," Mr Jackson said.
On Friday, Gerald Steinberg, chairman of the Belfast Jewish Community Council, told BBC Radio Foyle that the decision to implement BDS was "very regrettable". | A target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% in Wales by 2020 is likely to be missed, government advisers have warned.

The Prisons and Probation Ombudsman (PPO) for England and Wales investigated 32 complaints, in just over a year, of letters being opened.
The watchdog ruled in favour of the prisoner in 16 cases, but found "little evidence" of deliberate tampering.
A Ministry of Justice spokesman said they were "isolated cases".
Nigel Newcomen of the PPO said it was a "fundamental aspect" of the right to a fair trial and access to justice that correspondence between prisoners and their legal advisers was kept private.
Prison rules say such letters can be opened only if staff suspect they contain banned items, such as drugs, or if they do not think the mail is connected to a legal matter.
Mr Newcomen said the investigation, which looked into complaints dating from April 2014 to June this year, found "one-off and occasional errors".
Most of the cases were due to "human error", he said
But he found that some letters had been "deliberately" opened on security grounds without the prisoner involved having the opportunity to be present, as the rules require.
There was a small number of cases in which staff training or prison processes had not been sufficient to prevent repeated mistakes, he said.
He added: "To say that the evidence pointed to human error rather than deliberate interference is not to minimise the seriousness of the issue."
He called for improvements in the way prisons handle confidential correspondence - ensuring errors are recorded and that staff fully understand the rules.
A Prison Service spokesman said his recommendations had been accepted and the "necessary action" taken at the prisons concerned.

Cumbernauld couple Jim and Ann McQuire and Billy and Lisa Graham of Bankfoot were among 30 Britons killed in Sousse by a gunman with extremist links.
Their bodies were flown back to the UK on Thursday.
A candlelit vigil was planned in Perthshire for the Grahams, while a special church service was held in Cumbernauld in memory of the McQuires.
Following the service in Abronhill Church, where Mr and Mrs McQuire were members, session clerk Linda Gray said: "The church was full. There were lots of people there and we were happy to be together to share our prayers with the community.
"We would like to thank everyone who came and also the very many people - some we knew and some we did not know - who sent messages of love and support. It was very kind."
A total of 38 people were killed in the attack by Seifeddine Rezgui last Friday. The gunman, who had links to the Islamic State group, was himself shot dead following the incident, and Tunisian authorities have arrested several people on suspicion of helping him.
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, who are in Glasgow, joined in with the minute's silence during a visit to the University of Strathclyde.
The silence was also marked by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who signed a book of condolence which has been opened by North Lanarkshire Council.
She said: "Today is a day to remember all of the victims of this senseless and cowardly terrorist attack and my thoughts, prayers and heartfelt condolences are with their families and friends at this incredibly difficult time.
"I hope that the families of James and Ann McQuire and Billy and Lisa Graham can take some comfort from the fact that right across Scotland people have come together to condemn these mindless acts and pay respects to their loved ones during today's minute's silence - just as I hope all the bereaved families will take comfort from the expression of solidarity right across the UK."
Shoppers and staff in Aberdeen and Inverness paused to mark the occasion, while passengers at Glasgow Airport also fell silent.
Flags are being flown at half-mast at the Scottish Parliament, Whitehall and Buckingham Palace.
A special ceremony was held at the scene of the killings in Sousse, and events were held at churches and mosques across the country.
The candlelit vigil in Bankfoot was due to be held at a park near the Graham family home. A local councillor said the village had been "very subdued" since the death of the "very well-known couple", who had been in Tunisia celebrating Mrs Graham's 50th birthday.
North Lanarkshire and Perth and Kinross Councils are flying flags at half-mast, and have opened books of condolence.
The first inquests into the deaths of the Britons are also set to begin, with the bodies of more of the dead expected to arrive back at RAF Brize Norton.

Muslim Remain campaigner Shazia Awan, a former Conservative parliamentary candidate, received a Tweet on Friday saying: "Pack your bags....youre (sic) going home."
Cardiff's Butetown councillor Ali Ahmed said he was told to "get out of the country".
Both incidents have been reported to police.
Caerphilly-born Ms Awan, a businesswoman and PR consultant, told the the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme: "I've not just had one, I've had an array of racial abuse."
"I'd like to read you an email I got which I found particularly worrying because one of these bigots had gone to the trouble of finding my personal details," she said.
"'You are not now, nor will you ever be, Welsh. Being born in Wales has nothing to do with being Welsh. I cannot wait to send you and the anti-white garbage that you stand for back to the third world dumps that you came from.'
"This is now a police matter. I've personally reported about eight people to South Wales Police and I would urge others to do the same."
Ms Awan said she believed the abuse was a direct result of the Brexit vote.
A South Wales Police spokesman said the force was taking the matter "extremely seriously" and was trying to trace the person responsible.
Chief Insp Daniel Howe added: "Since the referendum result last week, there has been no noticeable increase in reports of hate crime to South Wales Police in Cardiff. As always those that have been reported are being fully investigated."
Labour councillor Mr Ahmed said he was talking to a friend in Roath, Cardiff, on Saturday morning when they were approached by a man who asked them how they voted.
When they replied they had voted to remain in the EU, they were subjected to a series of racist comments, according to Mr Ahmed.
"He said, 'When are you leaving?' and 'Get out of the country'," Mr Ahmed said.
"My friend was very angry. I was in a state of shock.
"Forty-one years of my life have been in the UK and it's the first time I've come across anything like this."
Police and crime commissioner for North Wales Police, Arfon Jones, said he would monitor the issue after hearing reports of people being mistreated.
He told the police and crime panel he would discuss it with chief constable Mark Polin later this week.
Mr Jones's Gwent Police counterpart, Jeff Cuthbert, said people in the area had expressed concerns about the possibility of discrimination, but did not say there had been specific incidents.
Ch Insp Daniel Howe, of South Wales Police, said: "Since the referendum result last week, there has been no noticeable increase in reports of hate crime to South Wales Police in Cardiff."
A spokeswoman for Dyfed-Powys Police said: "We've had one hate incident reported that is linked to Brexit, but that is all since Friday."
The force has seen a "significant increase" in hate crimes compared to last year - from 32 in June 2015 to 47 so far this month, but the spokeswoman said "we are not sure of the reasons".
First Minister Carwyn Jones said he would contact police commissioners following the reported abuse.
Meanwhile, in Carmarthenshire, workers at the Welsh Polish Mutual Association arrived on Monday to see a poster pinned to the door showing airmen and accompanied with the text: "Thanks for being here then... still glad you're here now #PolesinUK."
One of them, Joanna Pecherzewska, said: "We feel more safe because of this. I think this note should be shown to people. The Polish community here works hard and we are welcome here in Llanelli."

Downing Street said that measures in the Investigatory Powers Bill would provide the authorities "with the tools to keep you and your family safe".
It will "address gaps" in intelligence gathering and access to communications data which is putting "lives at risk".
But civil liberties campaigners claim it will pave the way for mass surveillance of UK citizens.
Home Secretary Theresa May's efforts to introduce a similar bill in 2012, dubbed the "snooper's charter" by critics, were blocked by the Liberal Democrats.
The new bill is designed to "maintain the ability of intelligence agencies and law enforcement to target the online communications of terrorists, paedophiles and other serious criminals".
Details of how it will work will be published in the next few days.
It is thought likely to require internet service providers and mobile operators to log much more data about what their customers are doing, including data on who people call, text, tweet and instant message, what games they play, when they post on social networks and who they send webmails.
The government has come under growing pressure to do more to respond to the fallout from the conflicts in Iraq and Syria and, specifically, the threat posed by British jihadists returning to the UK after fighting in the two countries.
The police have long argued that their ability to track the online communications of potential suspects is heavily circumscribed and the the law is not keeping pace with advances in technology.
But civil liberties campaigners fear it will lead to mass surveillance.
Essentially the government wants to upgrade the law so that is can do all the things it used to do with the post and telephones with all the plethora of online communications that now exist.
A review by the "Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation" David Anderson QC will feed into this.
The Bill will be very controversial. It is strongly opposed by many Liberals, and civil liberties groups, and the idea became even more controversial after the Edward Snowden revelations.
Jim Killock, executive director of The Open Rights Group, said: "The government is signalling that it wants to press ahead with increased powers of data collection and retention for the police and GCHQ, spying on everyone, whether suspected of a crime or not.
"This is the return of the 'snooper's charter', even as the ability to collect and retain data gets less and less workable.
"We should expect attacks on encryption, which protects all our security. Data collection will create vast and unnecessary expense."
Renate Samson, chief executive of Big Brother Watch, said: "Whilst the title may have changed from a Communications Data Bill to an Investigatory Powers Bill it will be interesting to see whether the content has radically changed.
"We have yet to see real evidence that there is a gap in the capability of law enforcement or the agencies' ability to gain access to our communications data."
The Investigatory Powers Bill is one of 26 proposed laws included in the first all-Conservative Queen's Speech since 1996.
The Conservatives are also proposing new steps to tackle extremism, including giving the home secretary new powers to ban extremist groups and allowing the authorities to close down premises being used to "support extremism".
It will also include more powers for watchdog Ofcom to take action against TV channels that "broadcast extremist content".
Downing Street said there would be "appropriate safeguards and oversight arrangements" and it would take into account a yet unpublished review of existing counter-terrorism legislation undertaken by the independent reviewer David Anderson.
The court in Bucharest heard how Ion Ficior, 87, had run an abusive regime from 1958-63, subjecting detainees to inhuman and repressive treatment.
Ficior denied the allegations and has 10 days to appeal.
Another communist-era prison commander was given 20 years last year for running "an extermination regime".
Alexandru Visinescu was convicted of crimes against humanity at the Ramnicu Sarat prison from 1956 to 1963, where inmates were tortured and starved.
Some 600,000 Romanians, including priests, teachers, doctors and peasants, were jailed between 1948 and 1964 as the communist authorities confined political prisoners in a series of labour camps and jails.
One in five inmates is thought to have died as a result of the brutal prison conditions, according to historians.
Ficior is the second prison chief to be sentenced since the death of communist leader Nicolae Ceausescu in 1989. He argued he had done nothing wrong and was following orders.
He was in charge of Periprava jail, where he was accused of beating political detainees, and subjecting them to treatment and living conditions likely to lead to death. One witness told the trial that Ficior had beaten a sick prisoner and left him to die in a field.
Ficior was charged after five skeletons were found at the camp in the Danube delta in eastern Romania.
The Romanian Institute for the Investigation of Communist Crimes (IICCMER), a government agency, said in 2013 that it had clear evidence that he had implemented "an extermination regime for political detainees".
The Scarlets back-rower, 29, admits he was 'slightly surprised' to be called up for the Six Nations but is desperate to play for his country again.
Barclay, capped 45 times, is in contention for a place in the match-day 23 to face England on Saturday.
"I am still massively motivated and still feel I have a lot to offer at this level," he said.
"My hopes are pretty high. I am certainly not coming up here hoping to just hold bags for the next six to eight weeks. I am delighted to be here and I am desperate to play."
The popular Barclay played in two of Scotland's World Cup warm-up matches last summer, his first caps since 2013.
But he was omitted from the final World Cup squad in favour of John Hardie - recently arrived from New Zealand - while another adopted Kiwi, Blair Cowan, was summoned as a second specialist open-side during the group stages.
Asked if he thought that signalled the end of his Test career, which began against New Zealand in 2007, Barclay said: "Yeh, I thought so, because I hadn't been in it for a while before the World Cup.
"But I think Vern is a pretty fair guy. If you are playing well, you generally get picked. When he phoned me I was slightly surprised but obviously very happy.
"I didn't even know when the squad was being announced because I haven't put too much emphasis on it. I try to do my own thing really, and if you do that well enough, you will get picked.
"But the fact I am more philosophical about things doesn't mean I am not gutted when I am not playing for Scotland, and that I am not hugely motivated when I do play."
With Cotter picking both Hardie and Cowan in Scotland's last Test, their World Cup quarter-final defeat against Australia, Barclay's versatility - he has played in all three back-row positions for the Scarlets this season - could serve him well as Scotland finalise their 23 to play England.
The Scots have not beaten England in their last eight meetings since 2008, but optimism is high north of the border that run could come to an end on Saturday, with the visitors starting a new era under head coach Eddie Jones.
Barclay does not expect a radically different approach from England, however.
"I believe there is only a finite number of ways you can change things, and they have picked very similar players by the looks of it," he added.
"They will play to their strengths, they have always been strong up front. They can't re-invent the wheel in a week. We are just trying to focus on ourselves and what we can do to put pressure on them and test their mind-set."
The policies, unveiled ten years after the ban on hunting with dogs in England and Wales, include a vow to reduce cruelty on shooting estates.
Labour also promised to defend the Hunting Act, saying the Conservatives might legalise hunting with dogs.
The Tories are committed to a free vote on the issue in the next Parliament.
Shadow environment secretary Maria Eagle said: "The last Labour government achieved much to end the cruel and unnecessary suffering of animals: the banning of hunting with dogs, securing an end to cosmetic testing on animals, banning fur farming and introducing the Animal Welfare Act.
"The next Labour government will continue to lead the way on animal welfare, starting with six key commitments that build on our previous achievements at home and abroad."
Labour pledged to:
Further details of the policies have not yet been released.
Party leader Ed Miliband said: "Our Labour values tell us that we have a moral duty to treat the animals we share our planet with in a humane and compassionate way.
"No other major political party has such a proven track record of decisive action for animals at home, on farms and in the wild."
Claire Bass, of Humane Society International, said: "We urge all parties to make acting for animals a priority, and encourage voters to ask their candidates for their views on animal welfare."
The 2010 Conservative manifesto said the Hunting Act was "unworkable" and promised a free vote by MPs on its repeal.
The party says it remains committed to this if it wins a parliamentary majority in May.

But talks with Dijks' representatives have broken down and he will remain with the Europa League finalists.
"Unfortunately, we couldn't come to an agreement and will now be moving onto other targets," said Canaries sporting director Stuart Webber.
The 26-year-old finished the 54-hole LPGA Tour event on Sunday at 18 under par for her second tournament victory of the season and 15th career title.
Ryu closed with a two-under 69, beating compatriot Amy Yang and Thailand's Moriya Jutanugarn, after heading into the final round with a five-shot lead.

The former Plaid Cymru leader left the party on Friday to sit as an independent.
He told BBC Radio Wales' Sunday Supplement programme that people in his Dwyfor Meirionnydd constituency were "disappointed and concerned" about his decision.
Others understand his reasoning to put Wales ahead of the party, he said.
Lord Elis-Thomas left the party to sit as an independent over claims Plaid Cymru wasn't "serious" about taking part in the Labour-led Welsh Government.
Plaid Cymru said he had "misled" constituents and it would call for a by-election as soon as possible.
But Lord-Elis Thomas insisted he had a mandate to remain as an AM.
"My mandate is what appeared in my election literature," he told the programme.
'More honest vote'
"All this talk of a by-election is to mislead the electorate. I am under no constitutional obligation.
"I am an independent member formerly elected as Plaid Cymru and that will be my position throughout this assembly."
His former colleague, the Plaid AM Rhun ap Iorwerth, said it would be "just" for Lord Elis-Thomas to allow a by-election.
"I, and others, including people who have been colleagues for many years in the party in Dwyfor Meirionydd, say the just thing for him to do would be to seek that mandate he doesn't really have currently.
"There are people who have worked with him closely feel let down and disappointed and they are saying let's have another vote, a more honest vote this time."
Lord Elis-Thomas said that while some people are distressed, others understand his reasoning to put Wales ahead of the party, "when that party seems to be unable to take responsibility for running its own country."
Earlier this year a magistrate judge declared a three-drug process the state had proposed to be unconstitutional, but Ohio is appealing against the ruling.
The judge banned the use of drugs that paralyse inmates and stop their hearts, but lawyers for the state said they were unable to find a willing supplier.
One prisoner was set to die next week.
Ronald Phillips was scheduled to be executed on 15 February for raping and killing his girlfriend's three-year-old daughter, but that has now been pushed back to 10 May.
Governor Kasich explained that the legal challenge necessitated the delay, but that he is confident that the state will win the appeal, and resume with the scheduled executions.
"These delays are necessary to allow the judicial process to come to a full resolution, and ensure that the state can move forward with the executions after the appeal is settled," Mr Kasich said.
The US Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati will hear arguments on 21 February.
A lawyer for the state's prison agency said that they had contacted seven states to request supplies of Pentobarbital, but were rejected.
A court filing says Ohio had asked Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, Texas and Virginia for the drug, but they were unwilling to provide it.
Ohio is among several states that have had problems securing legal supplies of drugs used in lethal injections.
The number of US executions peaked at 98 in 1999 but has been falling ever since. Only 20 were carried out in 2016.

The bronze coins dating from the late 4th Century were found inside 19 Roman amphoras, a type of jar.
They bear images of the emperors Constantine and Maximian and it is thought they may have been used to pay soldiers or civil servants.
The Director of the Seville Archaeological Museum Ana Navarro said the discovery had incalculable value.
"It is a unique collection and there are very few similar cases," she said.
"I could not give you an economic value, because the value they really have is historical and you can't calculate that."

The crash caused a gas bottle to explode which set fire to the Serves You Right Cafe in Ravenshoe, south of Cairns, in Queensland state.
Three people are in critical condition and have been airlifted to hospital. The driver is among the injured.
It is not known what caused the vehicle to veer off the road.
Patients were being treated for a "varying degree of burns" said Queensland Ambulance Service Assistant Commissioner Rod Sheather. The fire took an hour to bring under control, he said.
Kate Lewis, who works at a supermarket across from the cafe, described the scene as horrific.
"We just heard a massive sonic boom and went running out and saw the cafe on fire and lots of burned people," she told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
Ravenshoe, a farming town, has a population of about 1,000 people.
The Welsh Government said in May 2010 health boards should ensure key workers - who help co-ordinate patients' care - were in place by the end of March 2011.
Public Health Wales (PHW) said collection of that data was "not currently mandatory".
The Welsh Government said a set of standards and measures to review progress was being developed.
A Freedom of Information (FoI) request was submitted after some cancer patients contacted BBC Wales to say they had not been allocated a key worker.
But PHW said "understanding of what numbers and percentages of patients with a key worker is not possible to collate" as data did not have to be collected.
It said the most recent All Wales Cancer Patient Survey - which asks whether patients have a key worker - was due for publication later this month.
"This survey therefore should give a percentage of compliance both nationally and by health board, the only rider being that it will of course reflect the response from the percentage of patients who decided to respond to the actual survey," the statement added.
PHW said it was not in the public interest to release data from the most recent survey early as it needed to be collated and verified.
Susan Morris, from Macmillan Cancer Support in Wales, which carries out the survey, said: "More robust monitoring of the situation on the ground would be welcome to ensure this commitment is being met."
"Our 2014 Wales Cancer Patient Experience Survey, which Macmillan ran with the Welsh Government, showed a third of the 7,352 people with cancer surveyed (34%) were not given the name and contact details of a key worker.
"As a single point of contact they help ensure people diagnosed with cancer can access the right information and support, while also helping them to navigate complex care and treatments."
Prostate cancer patient Nick Phillips, 59, from Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taff, who says he has not been assigned a key worker, said: "They shouldn't be relying on the patient survey, it's not an accurate reflection. Not everybody is going to reply.
"We want to know the figures. Every patient should be having a key worker and a care plan."
Carolyn Robertson, 70, from Whitchurch in Cardiff, added: "It's sad they don't know the numbers of key workers.
"I've talked about how beneficial it was in the case of my breast cancer. I've had the care that helped me survive, that's why I'm banging the drum."
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "The Cancer Implementation Group, which is responsible for the delivery of the Cancer Delivery Plan, has identified the key worker role as a priority.
"As such, work is currently being undertaken to develop a set of standards and associated measures to review the progress health boards and trusts are making in the provision of key workers, as well as for other priority issues."
There are procedures for introducing changes to Scottish football, so what would need to happen for a summer calendar to be introduced, in whatever form?
Here, BBC Scotland looks at the process.
Media playback is not supported on this device
The Scottish Professional Football League runs the four league competitions and the Scottish League Cup, while the Scottish Football Association runs the Scottish Cup and the international fixtures.
So, changes to the calendar would need to involve both organisations, although it would primarily be based around the league schedule.
Ultimately, within both organisations, it's the clubs who decide.
In theory, yes. The vote would need to be held after June 27, 2016, since that is three years since the formation of the SPFL, when the Scottish Premier League and Scottish Football League agreed to merge.
When that decision was taken, all 42 clubs unanimously agreed to an effective moratorium on further reconstruction or structural changes for three years.
In that time, such issues can only be passed with a unanimous, 100% vote.
As the BBC Scotland survey shows, summer football does not have that backing just now. However, after June 27, 2016, the old voting structures are restored, so it does not require the support of every club in Scotland.
The board of the SPFL could do that, or alternatively, the vote could be raised at a general meeting, which can be called by two clubs.
This is where the situation becomes 'complex', as SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster put it. Summer football means different things to different people.
Some clubs consider it to be a season that runs from March to November, however for others with a more practical perspective, it means a season that runs from July to December and then February to May. The difference is significant.
As the Premiership currently stands, a season from March to November could not accommodate all of the games.
A switch to that calendar would therefore require structural change and a revised financial distribution model, with either a smaller top flight or a bigger top league but with clubs only playing each other twice a season.
For that to be agreed, it requires changes to the SPFL's articles of association as well as the rules and regulations, so 11 of the 12 Premiership clubs would need to vote in favour, along with 75% of Championship clubs, 75% of League One clubs and 75% of League Two clubs.
The alternative is to retain the current league structures, but simply alter the calendar to a July start and with three- or four-week breaks in January and June.
This requires a slightly lower voting threshold since it is merely a rule change - there is a rule that the leagues must begin on or after August 1 - and so would need the backing of 75% of Premiership clubs, 75% of Championship clubs, 75% of League One clubs and 75% of a League Two clubs.
In effect, either model would be scuppered if three or more clubs in any of the divisions voted against.
In reality, thorough discussions would need to be in held in advance to ascertain the financial implications, the potential benefits and how any change would accommodate European and international fixtures, as well as the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup.
On Friday 29 May, 1953, at 11:30 local time, New Zealand climber Edmund Hillary and Nepalese Sherpa Tenzing Norgay of the British Mount Everest Expedition, led by Col John Hunt, set foot on the highest point on Earth.
With perfect timing, on the morning of Tuesday 2 June, the day of the coronation in London of Queen Elizabeth II, The Times newspaper published its correspondent James Morris's dispatch from the mountain describing the expedition's success.
In today's world, with the latest satellite technology, it is easy to forget just how much agility - both physical and mental - would have been involved in such a scoop.
For James, now Jan Morris, the only journalist embedded with the expedition, it meant a hazardous descent in fading light from an altitude of 22,000 ft (6,700 m) on the mountain.
A coded message then had to be sent by runner more than 20 miles (32km) to Namche Bazaar, transmitted by radio to Kathmandu and telegraphed from there to the UK.
And, of course, all this to be done to a tight deadline without alerting other news media in the area to the scoop.
"You weren't allowed to use a radio so I had to organise runners to take my dispatches back to Kathmandu," recalls Morris in the BBC Radio 3's Sunday Feature programme, Jan Morris - Travels Round My House.
Morris's dispatches from Everest were usually sent by runner to Kathmandu, a journey of five days.
In order to get the news of the climb through faster, Morris handed the vital dispatch to a trusted runner on the morning of Saturday 31 May.
The runner arrived in Namche Bazaar on Sunday 1 June, from where the message was sent by the bicycle-powered radio station in Morse code to the Indian and British embassies in Kathmandu.
To prevent the story leaking out Morris penned the message using a pre-arranged code.
A successful ascent would begin with 'Snow conditions bad'.
'Wind still troublesome' would signify a failed attempt.
Forwarding the report to London, a British embassy official mistakenly interpreted the code to read that Tom Bourdillon and Tenzing Norgay had made an successful ascent on 29 May.
While he understood that 'awaiting improvement' signified Tenzing, he failed to correctly translate the reference to 'abandoned' as Hillary.
However the mistake was picked up at the Foreign Office in London and corrected before it reached the The Times at 16:14 BST on 1 June, and Buckingham Palace shortly afterwards.

"It was rather romantic, really, because (of) the dash down the mountain with the news from Camp Four above the icefall."
Morris, 86, who has lived for many years in Gwynedd, north Wales, received the news of Hillary and Tenzing's achievement in the early afternoon of Saturday 30 May.
"I had to get down that evening to get the thing away," she tells presenter Anthony Sattin.
"Anyway it was getting dark, you know, and I was going to go down by myself but [expedition member] Mike Westmacott... said it would be crazy and he would come with me.
"And it was very nasty and the icefall was beginning to melt and I was hopeless, I kept falling over.
"Halfway down I said: 'Oh, you go ahead, Mike, I'm not going to go any further. I'll stay here for a bit' and he just said: 'Don't be ridiculous'.
"I guess I would certainly have died. I'm sure. And we went on down together through the developing dusk and nightfall, on down to the camp with the news that only I knew.
"I had to get it through to London. The excitement of it. The romance of it. The Queen was going to be crowned. Can you imagine it all?
"Everyone was expecting the news that the Empire was on top of the world."
According to Morris the famous dispatch read: "Snow conditions bad. Advance base abandoned yesterday. Awaiting improvement. All well!"
"That's what it actually said but it isn't what it meant," she explains. "It meant that Ed Hillary and Tenzing had got to the top of Everest and we were all well."
Despite all the effort needed to get the news back to The Times, its 'Everest Climbed' headline was not splashed across the front page in the way in which it would be today.
Morris, who went on to have a much-celebrated career as a travel writer and also had a sex-change operation, explains: "They didn't have news on the front page then. It was all ads on the front page so they just put a little thing in the top right corner.
"It went in the press on the very day of the Queen's coronation and everybody cheered."
Col Hunt's 1953 expedition had close links with north Wales, as did several British Everest expeditions before it.
The group used the Pen-y-Gwryd Hotel, at the foot of Snowdon at Nant Gwynant, as a training base, and returned there for decades afterwards to celebrate anniversaries of the climb.
The last surviving climber from the 1953 expedition, New Zealand-born George Lowe, died in Derbyshire aged 89 in March this year.
The Royal Geographical Society is currently running two London exhibitions commemorating the anniversary of the 1953 climb.
Innovation Everest (7 May - 14 June at the Royal Geographical Society) examines the technologies used in the 1953 expedition, while Everest 1953 (23 May - 9 June at the Oxo Gallery) is a photographic exhibition and fine art sale.
Azeez headed in Lyle Taylor's cross to move the Dons above City in League Two on goal difference.
George Francomb gave the home side a first-half lead as he hooked in a cross after Andy Barcham's flick-on.
Ryan Harley equalised soon after and City thought they had taken the lead through an own goal, but it was chalked off for a push by Troy Brown.
AFC Wimbledon manager Neal Ardley told BBC London 94.9:

"A win is a win, and any win is a good win, but we weren't at our best today.
"We started brightly for 20 minutes, lost our way a bit and Exeter are the sort of team that can pick holes in you when you're a little bit stretched.
"They grew into the game and we were our own worst enemies at that point.
"We wanted to up the tempo in the second half and we didn't really."
The Belgian defender, 30, is still recovering after injuring his knee against Crystal Palace in November.
City boss Pep Guardiola will decide on Tuesday whether to start Claudio Bravo or Willy Caballero in goal.
Monaco midfielder Gabriel Boschilia is out with the cruciate ligament injury that is set to sideline him for the rest of the season.

Monaco top the Ligue 1 table and are the highest-scoring team in any of Europe's main leagues, with 76 goals in 28 games.
Striker Radamel Falcao returns to England having scored 19 goals in 25 appearances in all competitions this season.
The Colombian, 31, scored four times in 29 appearances for Manchester United during the 2014-15 season, and just once at Chelsea the following campaign.
"Monaco are the most successful team in Europe in terms of scoring goals, so this is a tough draw," said Guardiola.
"We are looking forward to playing against them. They are a really good team."
With Gabriel Jesus out for up to three months after breaking a bone in his foot, Sergio Aguero is expected to keep his place in attack.
Aguero, 28, failed to make an impression as City were held to a goalless draw at Huddersfield in the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday.
However, the Argentine has scored 18 goals this season, including three in the Champions League, and Guardiola has reiterated his importance to his side.
"Sergio has enough experience," he said.
"We are going to talk with him like with all of his team-mates to convince him in these two games, 180 minutes, we are not going to be able to do our best performance because in this level it is so demanding in the Champions League.
"This is one of the most beautiful competitions to play in and we have to do our best."
Morrisons' online business is available to about half of UK households, but currently does not deliver to areas such as the South West or Scotland.
The new deal allows Morrisons to use its own stores to pick products for delivery, doubling its reach.
Morrisons will also increase the number of non-food brands it sells online.
Morrisons and Ocado joined forces in 2013, finally enabling Morrisons to launch an online business years after its main rivals had already done so.
Morrisons chief executive David Potts said the latest changes would allow the retailer to reach millions more customers.
"The new investments in online growth are further examples of Morrisons building a broader business and will allow millions more customers all over Britain to enjoy Morrisons' good-quality fresh food and great value for money," he added.
Despite the new deal and extra investment, the company said it expected its online business to remain a loss-making concern in the short-term.
But it thinks its online operation, together with its wholesale distribution business and food manufacturing division, will boost profits by up to £100m in future.
Morrisons announced in February that it had struck a new supply agreement with Amazon, making hundreds of its products available on Amazon's website.
Under the terms of the new deal, Ocado will have fewer restrictions preventing it from working with other retailers, although the company has still agreed not to tie-up with major players Tesco, Asda , Sainsbury's and discounters Aldi and Lidl.
The derby looked destined for a drab goal-less draw until former Livingston defender Cole fired his first goal in a Candystripes shirt in the 87th minute.
McEneff made sure of the victory with a second goal deep into stoppage-time.
City move back up to to third in the table, two points ahead of Shamrock Rovers.
It was the first time Kenny Shiels' men have achieved back-to-back league victories since they won their first four games of the season, and was revenge for a 2-0 home defeat by Harps in April.
Harps, battling to get clear of relegation danger, started well and City keeper Gerard Doherty did well to deny Caolan McAleer in the ninth minute.
Derry had gone into the game without striker Ronan Curtis who was left out for what the club termed disciplinary reasons.
Curtis had scored five in his last eight games, and the visitors seemed to be missing him as they struggled to make the breakthrough.
But, just when a draw seemed inevitable, a corner to the near post was not cleared and, when the ball came back in, Cole pounced with a left-foot finish which gave home keeper Ciaran Gallagher no chance.
Derry made absolutely sure of the three points when Rory Patterson laid off for McEneff to go through and round Gallagher to make it 2-0 with virtually the last kick of the game.
Henderson, 34, was released by fellow League One side Scunthorpe on Monday.
"I've spoken about a plan B in the past and Darius definitely gives us that," Sky Blues manager Tony Mowbray told the club website.
"He's got a lot of experience and we're glad he is here to strengthen our ranks," added Mowbray, whose side travel to Port Vale on Sunday.

He has faced a lot of criticism since saying he would be standing down from the assembly but continuing to lead the party from Westminster as an MP.
Party grandees including Brid Rodgers and Seamus Mallon said he should give up the leadership.
Mr Mallon, a former deputy leader, said he should go "as soon as possible".
He added that if he acted decisively it would be good for him and for the party.
In his first response to the criticism, Dr McDonnell told the BBC One programme The View that while he respected Mr Mallon's views, he did not agree with them.
"He's entitled to that point of view," he said.
"I happen to have a different point of view, and the view I'm holding is the point of view of the grassroots and the vast majority of the SDLP who want me to finish the job.
"I'm not going to run away from a task half done."
He was more dismissive of internal party critics who say if he will not resign, they may try to force a special party conference where they could mount a leadership challenge.
"We're a democratic party - people are entitled to challenge," he said.
"There's a conference scheduled for November. I have heard no word of any special conference or anything else.
"I will work within the democratic rules and regulations and standing orders that we have in the party, and I will win.
"Quite simply, what I'm doing is essential.
"The vast majority of people in the party know that it's essential and they realise that a silly personality contest or beauty contest, for want of a better description, is not going to help the party and it's not going to help the broader politics in Northern Ireland.
"Yes, I would rather people would talk to me about these issues rather than negotiate through the newspapers.
"It would be helpful but the point is this: we live in a real world, people do what they do, people are individuals in a democratic party.
"I don't have muzzles, I don't have anything else on the people and if they choose to go to newspapers or discuss things through newspapers, it's unhelpful but it's acceptable in a democratic sense."
Last week MSPs voted to extend the Thursday Q&A from 30 to 45 minutes.
Ms Sturgeon had called for a longer session, as well as more chances for committees to quiz her, following her election as first minister.
The longer sessions will be tried out for the next two Thursdays and then evaluated by the parliament.
A key member of its ethics committee, Uruguayan lawyer Juan Pedro Damiani, is being internally investigated for links with Eugenio Figueredo - an allegedly corrupt football official.
Damiani has acted in sensitive ethics cases involving leading football officials since July 2012.
Part of a huge tranche of leaked documents, seen by the BBC, suggest that Damiani and his firm provided legal assistance for at least seven offshore companies linked to Figueredo, a former Fifa vice-president who was arrested last May in Zurich as part of the US inquiry into football corruption.
Figueredo was charged by US authorities with wire fraud and money laundering for his role in the alleged bribery conspiracy.
Despite that, he was extradited to Uruguay in December where he was also wanted on similar charges.
Discovery of his links to Damiani are the result of a leak of over 11 million documents from the internal files of Mossack Fonseca, a Panama-based law firm that specialises in helping the wealthy and powerful set up offshore companies.
The documents were obtained by the German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung and shared with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).
BBC Panorama and The Guardian newspaper are among 107 media organisations in 78 countries which have been analysing the documents.
The records do not show illegal conduct by Damiani or his law firm but a spokesman for Fifa's ethics investigatory committee told the BBC in a statement: "We confirm that on 19 March the investigatory chamber of the independent ethics committee was informed by the chairman of the adjudicatory chamber, Hans-Joachim Eckert, about becoming recently aware of a business relationship between the member of the adjudicatory chamber Juan Pedro Damiani, and Eugenio Figueredo Aguerre.
"After receiving the information Dr Cornel Borbely, chairman of the investigatory chamber of the ethics committee, has immediately opened a preliminary investigation to review the allegations in question. Dr Borbely is currently looking into said allegations in order to determine if there is a breach against the Fifa code of ethics and decide any further measures."
Fifa president Infantino has spoken repeatedly of a "new era" for football after being elected as Sepp Blatter's successor in February.
The leaked documents linking Damiani to Figuredo are therefore likely to raise questions over the strength of Fifa's background checks into ethics committee members.
In addition, two other executives charged in connection with the US football corruption probe have links to Damiani's legal and accountancy firm.
Hugo Jinkis and his son Mariano are currently under house arrest in their native Argentina, fighting an extradition request to the US on corruption charges.
They are mentioned in correspondence between Mossack Fonseca and Damiani's law firm regarding an offshore company they owned called Cross Trading.
Cross Trading was originally incorporated in 1998, on the Pacific island of Niue.
It then relocated to Nevada, USA in 2006 as Cross Trading LLC.
The leaked papers list Hugo Jinkis as a "beneficiary" of the company.
The records suggest that Damiani's law firm provided services for Cross Trading while it was in Niue as well as in Nevada.
According to the leaked documents Damiani and his law firm, JP Damiani & Asociados, have acted on behalf of hundreds of companies registered with Mossack Fonseca.
A spokesman for Damiani told the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, prior to knowing he was under investigation, that he was not authorised to make statements while officials in Uruguay are investigating allegations of corruption related to Fifa.
He added that Damiani has taken a lead in reporting corrupt practices within Fifa to Uruguayan authorities and to Fifa's ethics committee.
Damiani has not responded to requests from the BBC to comment on the information contained in the leaked documents.
The extent to which Fifa officials and others connected to football have used offshore companies is also suggested in the huge leak of Mossack Fonseca documents.
Jerome Valcke, the secretary general of Fifa from 2007 until he was sacked by the governing body in January this year, also appears in the papers.
Valcke was banned by Fifa's ethics committee for 12 years in February for a series of breaches concerning its code of ethics.
Swiss authorities opened criminal proceedings against him earlier this month concerning "various acts of criminal mismanagement".
Documents suggest not only the extent of Valcke's wealth but also how he used Mossack Fonseca to create and then be installed as the hidden owner of a British Virgin Islands company called Umbelina SA.
Umbellina was used to purchase a 2.8m euro yacht, which Valcke subsequently renamed 'Ornella', after his current wife.
A source close to Valcke said the yacht was declared to the relevant tax authorities.
Furthermore it is claimed the company was not used for any other commercial or business purposes.
There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by Valcke but the disclosure suggests the extent to which individuals within the football world use offshore companies to hide ownership of assets.

With neither side able to reach the semi-finals, the Dutch raced to 84-1 in 11 overs before Ravi Bopara's 1-15 helped limit them to 133-5.
But in reply England mustered only four fours and were all out in the 18th over for just 88. Bopara top-scored with 18.
"What a shambolic end to a shambolic performance to end a shambolic winter.
"There really are some questions to be answered here. Realistically, can they give the job to Ashley Giles now?"

It echoed their four-wicket reverse against the Dutch at Lord's in 2009.
If 12 defeats in 13 matches against Australia on the Ashes tour was difficult to explain, a comprehensive thrashing by a part-time team who do not play Test cricket was even tougher to fathom.
It was certainly awkward viewing for interim coach Ashley Giles in his quest to be given the job on a permanent basis.
"Today was pretty embarrassing; it was a poor, poor performance," Giles said. "I still believe I can do the job for England. It's for other people to decide whether I can or not."
In their first afternoon match of the tournament - and so with dew less of a factor - England opted to field first and were still guilty of three dropped chances of varying degrees of difficulty.
Netherlands, who lost by only six runs to South Africa, made an impressive start with six fours in the first three overs as they rattled up 32.
See full group tables
Jade Dernbach, who conceded 26 in his final over against the South Africans, was omitted in favour of left-arm spinner Stephen Parry, but the Lancastrian was also expensive, conceding 15 from his opening six balls.
With England's bowlers beginning to restrict the scoring, Chris Jordan produced a moment of magic to dismiss Tom Cooper when he ran back from mid-off and nonchalantly caught the ball in his left hand, before pouching his dislodged sunglasses with similar panache in his right.
But though only two fours and a six were scored in the final nine overs, that catch proved to be the solitary highlight of England's day.
Against innocuous medium-pace bowling, the batting rapidly disintegrated, from the moment Michael Lumb drove tamely to short extra cover off the final ball of the third over.
Of the three players to reach double figures, only Jordan scored at a run a ball.
"We are stunned because they have not lost - they have been thrashed. What is so numbing is the margin - 45 runs is a massive margin, like an innings and 150 runs in a Test match.
"We will have to see what the implications are, and it shows the fragility of the England set-up right now."
Alex Hales, a match-winning centurion as England beat the top-ranked T20 side Sri Lanka last week, missed with an attempted pull and was bowled in the fifth over and key batsman Eoin Morgan was caught at slip for six as England fell to 42-5 at the halfway stage.
Jos Buttler could also only manage half a dozen as he mis-timed a pull at Logan van Beek's slower ball, the seamer finishing with remarkable figures of 3-9 from two overs.
Hopes rested with Bopara but with a desperate swipe he was caught at deep mid-wicket in the 16th over, another England batsman powerless to prevent defeat.
As with previous England debacles of recent vintage, the coup de grace was suitably farcical, last man Parry run out after disastrous mid-pitch confusion with James Tredwell.
Canaries striker Cameron Jerome should have scored after the break but scuffed his shot over while unmarked.
Norwich substitute Jacob Murphy also saw a low effort well saved by Bees goalkeeper Dan Bentley at Griffin Park.
The visitors had to play the final 15 minutes a man down after Robbie Brady was controversially sent off for a sliding tackle on Ryan Woods.
Republic of Ireland international Brady seemed to go in for a 50-50 challenge with the Bees midfielder, but was shown a straight red after catching Woods on the leg.
Brentford, and 13-goal top scorer Scott Hogan, mustered little threat in front of goal until Norwich were reduced to 10 men and failed to register a shot on target throughout.
Striker Hogan appeared to be clean through in the 90th minute but was denied by a superbly-timed tackle by Ryan Bennett.
Norwich, who were second in the table in mid-October, have now only won twice in 12 Championship games and end the year in 12th, while Brentford stay 15th.
Brentford manager Dean Smith:
"I'd like to have seen us pose more of a threat in the final third, but the two sides cancelled each other out pretty much all game.
"They had the better of the chances but apart from that there wasn't a great deal in it. The clean sheet is a positive and I felt we were tough to beat, but we definitely need to create more than we did."
Norwich boss Alex Neil:
"Robbie [Brady] clearly isn't going in to injure the lad and both of them are sliding at impact, but we're not getting the rub of the green right now and that's just another example.
"But you can't feel sorry for yourself, you just need to roll your sleeves up and keep going. The one thing about football is you've always got a chance to make it better."

As we saw in Sunday's 4-0 defeat by Everton, who scored with every shot they had on target, teams do not need to create many chances to get past City.
That is a criticism of their back four and their goalkeeper, but another reason they have fallen off the pace in the title race is their lack of threat going forward.
It was not difficult for Everton to defend against them at Goodison Park. Yes, City had a penalty shout and a couple of half-chances in the first half but at the moment, if you get back into shape against them and close off the gaps, then it is also easy to keep them out.
City's tempo when they come forward is not always quick enough. They are pretty predictable in attack and, in the Premier League, they are finding it hard to score goals against well-organised defences.
That means more pressure is being heaped on their own back four. Against Everton, they could not cope.
It would be very easy to come out after watching City lose 4-0 and say they were wide open at the back, and John Stones had a nightmare on his return to his old club.
But Stones was probably the best player in City's back four - it is the others who let him down, massively.
If you look at the four goals that City conceded against Everton, Nicolas Otamendi and Gael Clichy both make errors that lead to three of them. Stones was not at fault for any of them.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Everton scored their first, second and fourth goals because either Otamendi or Clichy got their basic defensive positioning and decision making wrong.
That is not down to Guardiola's system or the way he sets his team up, it comes down to the mentality of his players, and them being alert and aware of danger - I am talking about things like their reaction time, staying in line with the rest of their back-four and staying with runners from the opposition team.
For example, with Everton's fourth goal, Stones will get criticised because his clearance was charged down and led to Ademola Lookman scoring.
But Otamendi was on his heels and not even thinking about defending when Stones went over to the left to clear. Yes, the ball dropped nicely for Lookman but Otamendi should have been ready for that.
The fact he wasn't is not down to Stones, but he seems to be getting the blame.
It seems to happen a lot. Stones has got unbelievable ability but he seems to have been carrying the can all season whenever City have conceded goals, no matter what their other defenders do.
That is partly because he is a £50m signing and an England international, and partly because of the way he tries to play as a skilful centre-half - which is the way Guardiola wants him to play.
Stones aside, it seems to me there are fundamental problems with City's defence.
Claudio Bravo is one of them - it looks like people are playing City and thinking if they hit the target, they will score.
To win the league title, you need a goalkeeper who will make important saves. Look at all the champions over the last 10 or 20 years and you will find keepers who are worth around nine to 12 points a season to them with the stops they make.
That is not the case with Bravo at City. I saw him play in Spain when I was with Valencia last season and he is a fantastic keeper but the goals are going in very easily against him at the moment.
It is not even as if they are all going into the corners of the net - Bravo is being beaten in the central areas of his goal too.
He is definitely struggling in English football, with the speed, the intensity and the physicality of our game, and teams are 100% targeting him.
His confidence has taken a hit, which is inevitable, and it obviously does not help when you concede with the first shot you face in a game, which is what happened at Everton.
As a defender, when your keeper is letting in a lot of the shots you face - in Bravo's case, 14 of the last 22 shots on target over City's last eight games - then you lose a bit of confidence in him too.
The whole back-four are aware that, if you make a mistake, it will end up in a goal. You have no margin for error, and it makes people nervous.
It is the complete opposite to the confidence you feel when you have got a reliable keeper behind you, who you know can make saves that will get you out of trouble.
This City team looks like it is a work in progress for Pep, because City are nowhere near where he wants them to be.
I don't think they can win the Premier League this season, but they will still be there or thereabouts in the top four. They are not just going to roll over.
City got badly beaten by Leicester in December and responded with an important win over Arsenal in their next game.
They will have to show a similar spirit, and put in an improved display, when they play Tottenham next weekend.
It is another massive game for them, but they are capable of coming back this time too.

Scott, 32, holed a 15ft birdie putt in deteriorating light across the 10th green on the second extra hole to deprive Argentina's 2009 winner after both players birdied the 18th in regulation to reach nine under on a dank, drizzly day.
The Masters in numbers
Australian Jason Day, runner up with Scott in 2011, was third at seven under with Tiger Woods (70) and another Australian Marc Leishman (72) tied for fourth at five under.
"It fell my way today, there was some luck there but it's incredible to be in this position. I'm honoured," said Scott, who squandered a four-shot lead with four to play to lose the Open to Ernie Els last year.
"This is the one thing in golf we hadn't been able to achieve," he added. "It's amazing that it's my destiny to be the first Australian to win."
Scott rolled in a stunning long birdie putt on the 18th for a 69 to snatch a one-shot lead over Cabrera, who was waiting back down the fairway in the final group. The Argentine kept his focus despite the roars from the green and hit his approach to a few feet before making his birdie for a 70 to join Scott.
Both came up slightly short of the 18th green on the first extra hole and Cabrera, playing first, almost holed his chip and tapped in from a foot for a four.

Scott left his chip three feet shy but holed it and they went back down the 10th. They both hit good approaches to the heart of the green but Cabrera, who won a play-off against Chad Campbell and Kenny Perry three years ago, missed his putt before Scott made his.
"That's how golf is. I came back and I had that chip on 18, I could have won it," said Cabrera.
"But Adam's a good winner. I would have been happier if I had won but he's a great player, I get along with him, we've played together in the President's Cup and I'm happy for him."
Cabrera, the joint overnight leader with Brandt Snedeker, held a two-shot lead at nine under during the first nine but on the way home he shared the lead with Scott and Day, who was two in front with three to play before bogeys at 16 and 17.
Woods was four behind at the start of the day after being penalised two shots for an illegal drop on Friday, but struggled to ignite his round and carded a two-under 70 for a seventh top four in his last eight Masters following his last win in 2005.
"Everyone felt for Adam after the 2012 Open. 'Under-achiever' is an unfair tag, but everyone thought that he would have more by the age of 32. He'll now start to plan more and more for the majors, I would not be surprised if he starts contending at all of them. This is the shot in the arm that Australian golf needed. This will get people back on the golf course and start the kids playing again. It will be such a big thing."
The 14-time major champion, chasing his fifth Green Jacket and first major title since 2008, said his putting cost him.
"I played well, unfortunately I just didn't make enough putts and also missed a few shots here and there," said Woods, the world number one.
"I certainly had an opportunity. If I shot 65 I thought I could win it outright, and it looked like that might be the number. I just couldn't quite get the peed right the first eight holes I left them short."
American Snedeker slumped to a 75 for four under with 23-year-old Danish debutant Thorbjorn Olesen, who finished with a 68 to head the European challenge.
England's Lee Westwood once again led the British challenge and got to four under at the seventh before finishing three under with a 71. The 39-year-old, who was second in 2010 and third last year, is still chasing his first major at the 60th attempt.
"Any time you finish top 10 in a major you've got to be pleased with that," said Westwood. "There's not too many negatives to take away."
Sergio Garcia (70) and Matt Kuchar (73) also finished three under, while Open champion Ernie Els and Friday's halfway leader Fred Couples, 53, ended in a group on one under.
World number two Rory McIlroy improved on his third round by 10 shots with a 69 to end on two over.
"I didn't feel that I played that differently today, but this golf course, if you get on the wrong side of it, can make you look a little silly at times," he said.
"Yesterday [round of 79] was very disappointing. If I had kept that round under control then I might have been in with a chance today. But I was pleased with my round today and that is something to build on for the rest of the season."
England's Luke Donald (72) and Justin Rose (74) also ended two over along with two-time former champion Bernhard Langer, 55, who enjoyed a little cameo with three straight birdies to start before running out of steam, finishing with a 76.
"It was fun while it lasted, just didn't last long enough in the end," said the German.
Defending champion Bubba Watson took a 10 at the short 12th in a round of 77 to end seven over.
"I made a good putt for a 10. No big deal," said Watson, who found the water with his tee shot and then had trouble after firing long with his replacement.
Scotland's Paul Lawrie ended four over after a 72, English debutant David Lynn finished with a 71 for five over and Sandy Lyle, 25 years after winning the Green Jacket, finished nine over alongside three-time champion Phil Mickelson.
Chinese 14-year-old amateur Guan Tianlang finished with a 75 for 12 over on his remarkable debut that saw him become the youngest Masters competitor and youngest player to make the cut at a major, and winner of the low amateur prize. | A nationwide minute's silence has been held in memory of the victims of the shooting in Tunisia last Friday.

It comes after more than 218 dogs were rescued in the five years from 2011 to 2015 - about 68% of all animals rescued over the period.
Among them was Staffie cross Blodwen who was swept 70m (230ft) out to sea in Burry Port, Carmarthenshire.
"Water safety never used to be a major consideration," admitted her owner Jan Godfrey-Coles.
She said she regularly walks on the beach and Blodwen loves splashing in and out of the water, but on this occasion strong currents got hold of her.
Seeing her pet unable to swim to shore, Ms Godfrey-Coles called the coastguard and minutes later Burry Port lifeboat came to Blodwen's rescue.
She said "panic set in" when she saw Blodwen her drifting out to sea.
"I thought I was going to lose her."
Praising Blodwen's rescuers, she added: "I can't thank them enough. Not only did they save Blodwen but their presence also prevented me from trying to swim out to her and potentially putting myself at risk".
Alun Wells from Burry Port RNLI, who are working with Vets4Pets on the campaign, said Ms Godfrey-Cole did what they encourage any dog walker to do if their animal gets into difficulty in or near the sea.
"It can be tempting for dog walkers to enter the water and attempt to rescue their beloved animals, but by doing so they can put themselves in serious danger," he said. | A new water safety campaign aimed at keeping people and their pets safe on the Welsh coast has been launched. | 40,811,689 | 356 | 23 | false |
Kerr has also quit his role as a board director of the Windsor Park club.
Linfield issued a statement expressing deep regret at Kerr's decision to stand down, but no reason was given for his departure midway through the season.
"The club would like to pay tribute to Jim's immense contribution to Linfield over very many years," the south Belfast club said.
"The board are totally unanimous in giving fulsome praise for the hard work our former chairman has carried out on behalf of the club.
"At a later date it is the intention of the club to more formally recognise Jim Kerr's long years of service to Linfield."
In the days after the London attacks, his mother Marie made a deeply emotional speech during the search for her son, not seen since a number 30 bus was blown open by a suicide bomber in Tavistock Square on 7 July 2005.
"My son Anthony is my first son, my only son, the head of my family. He's the love of my life. I am proud of him, I am still very proud of him. What did he do to deserve this?" she asked.
Five years on at the inquest into his death, she moved her audience a second time.
"His death has left a yawning vacuum in our lives and a sustained pain too strong for words and too deep for tears," she said.
"Oh, how I miss you sorely, such that the rose is not red and the violets are not blue any more for me."
Born in January 1979, to a Catholic mother and Muslim father, Anthony divided his childhood between Britain, France and Nigeria, attending school in Sevenoaks, Kent, Paris and Lagos.
He became fluent in French and went on to study for a degree in politics and economics at Bradford University.
Born of Nigerian parentage, his origins were far from humble: his mother, a senior oil executive, his father, one of Nigeria's leading medical practitioners.
In 2002, he followed his mother into the oil industry, joining Amec's oil and gas business. After two years, he became a regional executive developing new business in Africa.
His career ambitions were matched by a strong work ethic, and he planned to start a part-time Master's degree in oil and gas at Dundee University.
The day before his death, he earned plaudits from his industry for a presentation given at an oil seminar in London.
On 7 July 2005, he was on his way to the City to report back to his bosses on his success when he was caught up in the blast.
At 0947 BST, he made his last phone call to the office to let them know his journey to work had been disrupted.
It was five days after the attacks that his family heard of his fate, and weeks before Anthony's briefcase and gold chain, a gift from his mother, were returned.
At the inquest, his mother described Anthony as a selfless, dedicated young man with a big heart who cared and loved very much.
She said he doted on his two younger sisters, Aisha and Lauretta - one of whom has special needs.
"He lived for humanity and radiated joy and peace from childhood to adulthood," she told the hearing.
But those qualities also meant "he didn't handle sadness very well", as his cousin Tom Ikimi Jnr, 26, told the congregation at his funeral in Westminster Cathedral.
"Tears and sadness don't do anything for Anthony at this point. Only joy and happiness is the way he should be remembered."
Since his death, his family has set up the Anthony Fatayi-Williams Foundation for Peace and Conflict Resolution and plans are under way for an international youth centre for peace in Lagos, in Anthony's name.
Ed Joyce (73), Luke Wright (50) and Ross Taylor (50) all made half-centuries as Sussex totalled 271.
But Ryder then made a round 100, sharing a key 83-run fifth-wicket stand with Essex skipper Ryan ten Doeschate, who went on to finish on 49 not out.
He helped his side then get home on 275-5 with an over to spare.
Essex's win maintained their fine record at Hove, where they have only lost three times in 15 visits, a run dating back to 1986.
Essex got their One-Day Cup campaign off to a winning start in Southampton on Sunday when they chased down 311 to beat Hampshire in the final over.
They do not play again until Somerset's visit to Chelmsford this Sunday (22 June, 11:00 BST), while Sussex play Glamorgan in Cardiff on Wednesday (18 June, 14:00 BST).
The UK has 27% of the world's breeding curlews but numbers of the wading birds have fallen by 43% since the mid-1990s, the charity said.
The RSPB made its call following a new report, Birds of Conservation Concern, which has listed curlews as a bird of "highest conservation concern".
The UK is thought to have about 68,000 breeding pairs.
Loss of habitat, climate change and predation are thought to have led to declining populations.
Dan Brown, conservation adviser with RSPB Scotland and lead author of the new report, said falling curlew numbers was a "major concern".
He said: "We are responsible for more than a quarter of the world's population in the UK, so the large declines currently occurring may be having a big impact on the global population.
"On this basis, the curlew emerges as our highest priority species from a global perspective - conservation success in the UK will go a long way to helping secure the global population.
"We also approach this work acutely aware that, sadly, two close relatives of the Eurasian curlew - the Eskimo curlew and the slender-billed curlew - are highly likely to have become extinct in recent decades."
Andrew Douse, senior ornithologist with Scottish Natural Heritage, said: "The drop in curlew numbers demonstrates well a more general issue: a worrying decrease of many upland birds, all of which have large populations across the Scottish uplands.
"Familiar species such as merlin, whinchat, grey wagtail and dotterel have all declined. These changes likely relate to habitat changes, climate change and in some cases, predation.
He added: "We're working hard to understand the causes of these changes to make sure we conserve these important birds of the Scottish hills and mountains."
The review follows a BBC and BuzzFeed News investigation that uncovered suspected illegal betting in tennis.
"While there is no fixed deadline, it is expected the full review will take at least 12 months with an interim report in that time," a statement said.
The match-fixing claims were made just before last month's Australian Open.
Over the last decade, 16 players who have ranked in the top 50 have been repeatedly flagged to the Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU) over suspicions they have thrown matches.
The TIU was formed as a joint initiative of the International Tennis Federation (ITF), the Association of Tennis Professionals, the Women's Tour Association and the Grand Slam Board.
"The IRP will review the effectiveness and appropriateness of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Programme (TACP), the TIU and the Tennis Integrity Protection Programme (TIPP) and recommend any suggested changes," the statement said.
An offshoot of Hobart's lauded Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), the Dark Mofo festival uses the winter solstice to explore ancient and contemporary mythologies around death.
Its programme of art, theatre, music, film and food stretches across 12 days. Key events include the Funeral Party, a gothic ball held in a funeral parlour, and Hymns to the Dead, a concert featuring some of the world's heaviest black and death metal bands.
The festival is capped off on the morning of the winter solstice, when more than 700 souls will plunge naked into icy water at first light.
One of the festival's most challenging works is the one-off installation Asylum by Australian artist Mike Parr, which opens with a continuous 72-hour performance entitled Entry by Mirror Only.
Parr's performances examine physicality, memory and subjectivity, and often feature self-mutilation or extreme physical feats.
He will occupy the darkest parts of Australia's oldest continually run "insane asylum", Willow Court at New Norfolk near Hobart.
For most of the three days, or as much as possible, Parr will draw while thinking about his role in the 2009 alcohol-poisoning death of his schizophrenic brother Tim.
He'll respond to the asylum and the issue of mental health with video, sound, photos, objects and an interactive piece in its wards for the "criminally insane".
Willow Court's ran from 1827 to 2001. Isolation has left the buildings largely intact.
"What I am doing here is recalling that Tim in 2008 went out to (Sydney's) Cockatoo Island to this monumental installation of mine," Parr said.
The 2008 Sydney Biennale Mirror/Arse installation at Cockatoo Island included images from Parr's past works, where he hacks off a fake arm, pushes tacks into one of his legs, slaughters chickens and has his face stitched.
"Tim wasn't invited by me because I felt quite strongly that it was something that would have disturbed him," Parr said.
"He heard about it, and went out there and saw it. How I feel is that in the wake of that experience Tim went into a decline."
Parr also has a performance where he dresses as a bride.
Tim made a video shortly before his death. Parr has never watched the video, but understands that Tim is dressed as a bride in it.
"There's a strange reciprocity I feel with Tim's disturbed video. Which I may not even be able to look at, it may not be in the show," Parr said.
"But it is certainly driving a good deal of how I'm thinking. People have a remarkable capacity to feel the need in a situation."
Asylum and Entry by Mirror Only can be viewed by the public at any time, 24 hours a day, during the festival.
Entry really is by mirror only. Viewers must bring a mirror and leave it at Willow Court. "I am performing in extremis for three days … it's a fair exchange," Parr said.
Dark Mofo creative director Leigh Carmichael said Parr was a perfect choice for the festival.
"Mike Parr deals with dark ideas and painful concepts that sit within us all at times," Carmichael said.
"The subconscious is also a kind of dark place and that fits beautifully with what Dark Mofo is trying to explore."
At the festival's final event, nude swimmers plunge into the Derwent River. The water temperature will be about 10C and the air temperature could be half that.
Swimmers wearing only red rubber caps are urged to put their heads under the water and stay in for at least two minutes. Thirty surf lifesavers are on hand.
It's a cheeky moment of rebirth and renewal, the flipside of the festival's exploration of morbid themes.
Dark Mofo is in its fourth year and has captured popular and critical acclaim, winning prestigious performing arts awards and government funding.
It attracts more than 270,000 visitors to various performance precincts in Hobart, the Tasmanian capital, which has a population of 210,000.
Carmichael said the festival's popularity was fascinating, given its focus.
"Who would have really anticipated that a festival that explores death and darkness could become a popular event?" he said.
He said his previous two "births" were the day he survived an assassination attempt by Israeli agents in Jordan in 1997, and his actual birth in 1956.
Mr Meshaal had not set foot in the Palestinian territories for decades.
His visit follows a ceasefire that ended days of violence between Israel and Hamas. The Islamist militant group has governed Gaza since 2007.
Mr Meshaal entered Gaza from Egypt at the Rafah border crossing, touching his head to the ground in celebration. Officials there said his wife had arrived late on Thursday.
In a statement to the media, he said: "I consider this moment my third birth, and I pray to God that my fourth birth will be the moment when all of Palestine is liberated."
"Gaza is always in my heart," he said.

Posters of Khaled Meshaal can be seen all over the Gaza Strip, but until today he had never seen it himself. We stood on a street corner with a welcoming committee waving green flags as the Hamas leader drove by in a convoy. Armed men in balaclavas carrying guns and rockets kept the crowds back.
This is an intensely important personal trip for Mr Meshaal but it is also politically significant. It is often suggested that the external leadership of Hamas is sidelined by the officials who govern its stronghold in Gaza. By coming here just after negotiating last month's ceasefire with Israel through Egyptian mediators, Mr Meshaal is taking his share in what he describes as the "victory" over Israel.
It is also a chance to complete the secretive internal Hamas leadership process and plot strategy going forwards. At a mass rally on Saturday, Mr Meshaal is expected to refer to the need for reconciliation with his political rivals in the Fatah faction headed by President Mahmoud Abbas. Finally he's expected to lay out plans concerning Israel.
In Pictures: Meshaal visits Gaza
Just after arriving in Gaza, Mr Meshaal inspected the charred remains of the car in which military commander Ahmed Jabari was killed in an Israeli strike last month.
He later visited Jabari's home, and that of Hamas founder Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.
Jabari's death marked the start of an eight-day Israeli offensive which Israel said was aimed at halting militant rocket attacks. Some 170 Palestinians and six Israelis were killed.
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said in a statement that Mr Meshaal's visit was "a fruit of the victory of the resistance over the occupation".
In the past, Egypt's former president Hosni Mubarak never allowed him to use the Rafah border crossing to come here, and it was seen as too risky in terms of his personal security.
An Israeli official told the BBC that no guarantees for Mr Meshaal's safety in Gaza had been requested and none had been given.
"Hamas is Hamas, it doesn't matter who heads it," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor. "It's position is known - violence as the only tool to promote its racist and extremist ideology."
Israel, the US and the EU consider Hamas a terrorist organisation.
Mr Meshaal also visited relatives of the Dalou family, 10 of whom were killed along with two neighbours in an Israeli air strike on Gaza City on 18 November.
Earlier, Human Rights Watch urged Israel to provide a full account of the incident, saying the man whom Israel said it had targeted, Mohammed Jamal al-Dalou, was a low-ranking police officer.
The Israeli military said the Dalou home had been a hideout for a senior "terror operative", and that civilians were never a target.
For the centrepiece of his three-day tour, Mr Meshaal is scheduled to address a rally on Saturday in Gaza City, where a stage has been set up with a replica of a type of rocket Hamas has fired into Israel.

Who are Hamas?
He is also expected to discuss reconciliation moves with the Fatah movement, which Hamas removed from Gaza by force in 2007 after winning elections there. Fatah now rules parts of the West Bank.
In 2011, Mr Meshaal and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas - the Fatah leader - endorsed an Egyptian plan to reconcile the rival factions.
Although attempts to forge a Palestinian government of national unity have since stalled, Mr Meshaal told Reuters news agency ahead of his Gaza visit that "there is a new mood that allows us to achieve reconciliation".
Barring a brief visit to the West Bank in 1975, Mr Meshaal had not visited the Palestinian territories since his family left in 1967.
He survived an Israeli assassination attempt in Jordan in 1997 only after the King Hussein demanded an antidote to poison used by Israeli agents.
Mr Meshaal became Hamas's political leader in exile in 2004 when Sheikh Yassin was assassinated by Israel.
He ran operations from Damascus until February this year, when the unrest there prompted another move. He now bases himself in Qatar and Egypt.
Hamas was created in 1987 after the beginning of the first intifada - or Palestinian uprising - against Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.
Under its charter, Hamas is committed to the destruction of Israel. But the group has also offered a 10-year truce in return for a complete Israeli withdrawal from territories it occupied in 1967.
Sarah Papachristophorou, 47, from Four Oaks, Sutton Coldfield, admitted three drug-related offences and a theft charge at Birmingham Crown Court.
She said she had taken £1,000 from the man while supplying him with three Class C drugs over two years.
She was granted unconditional bail ahead of sentencing on 24 August.
A police inquiry into Papachristophorou revealed she gave zopiclone, tramadol and diazepam to the man.
Adjourning the case for probation service reports, Judge Patrick Thomas QC said a trial of issue may be needed to decide whether up to £4,000 was taken from the theft victim.
A spokesman for the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust said Papachristophorou no longer worked for the trust, having been dismissed from Queen Elizabeth Hospital on 10 May.
The man, who was walking with his son, suffered head injuries in the fall from Striding Edge, Helvellyn, on Saturday.
Low cloud prevented an air ambulance from attending, but an RAF Sea King helicopter took paramedics and members of the Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team as close as it could.
Despite CPR being carried out by his son and other walkers, the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Mike Blakey, from the mountain rescue team, said: "The man and his son were well equipped.
"Those people who were walking on the ridge at the time, and who risked their own safety to assist the man, should be commended.
"They did everything they could to help."
The club will receive a parachute payment ahead of their Championship campaign but Casey said revenues will significantly decrease.
"We will have to restructure accordingly," he told BBC Sport.
"We'll have to sit down with the board of directors and look to see what appetite they have for the losses."
Relegation for the Exiles has come in Casey's first year in the job, as well as that of head coach Tom Coventry.
Casey, who played more than 200 times for the club as a second row, was unable to give reassurances about Coventry's future.
"Once that review (on Monday) is complete, we'll look to see what went wrong and how we can take this club forward," he added.
"We've just got to make sure that we do it as thoroughly as we can and that we will move forward after it.
"Tom would have learned a huge amount from this season. He has held himself incredibly well in very difficult circumstances."
Casey admitted to making mistakes during his first 12 months as chief executive, but stressed the club's owners remain committed to its long-term strategy.
"It's proved very difficult and ultimately, if your rugby isn't performing, it's a very difficult business to turn around," he said.
"We have a long-term vision of where we're taking this club. This is a setback, there's no doubt about it. But we're determined to take this club forward."
The 40-year-old, the second highest Test run-scorer of all time, was speaking after a meeting of the MCC World Cricket committee at Lord's.
"The Olympics is the pinnacle of global sport and to be able to get cricket into something like that would be an awesome spectacle," said Ponting.
"It would be great for the growth and development of cricket."
Ponting is one of 14 members on the MCC World Cricket committee, an independent body made up of current and former international cricketers and umpires from the men's and women's games.
The Australian, who made 41 Test centuries and scored 13,378 Test runs during his career, has suggested games would be played in a T20 format with sides made up of under-23 players, similar to the way football is staged at the Olympics.
"The discussions were very positive," added Ponting. "We should look to grow the game and open it to different markets and introduce cricket to a new audience - I think that's something the game needs."
However, cricket's governing body, the International Cricket Council, has not stated a desire to push cricket towards becoming an Olympic sport.
A statement from the MCC World Cricket committee added: "The committee urges the ICC board to reconsider its position and take a decision that it believes is in the best interests of the global game.
"This would need to be done in the next 12 months for cricket to have a chance of being included in the 2024 Olympics."
The committee also urged the ICC to "look again" at its decision to reduce the number of teams for the 2019 and 2023 World Cups to only 10 teams.
There were 14 sides competing in the 2015 competition held in Australia and New Zealand, with Ireland, a non-Test-playing nation, beating the West Indies and Zimbabwe.
However, Ireland and the other ICC Associate members face a tough task to qualify for future events.
"A 10-team ICC Cricket World Cup is a retrograde step that damages the potential for growth in cricket's developing nations," said a committee statement.
"To limit future tournaments to 10 teams is a handbrake for the development of the sport."
Suggestions of four-day Test matches, to replace the current five-day format, have been dismissed by the committee, who expressed their concern at the "extra strain" it would put on the players' bodies.
Although the committee said four-day Tests - which would have started on Thursday and finished on Sunday - "may encourage the playing of positive, attacking cricket", they decided it was "not the answer".
Nevertheless, plans to hold the first day-night Test between Australia and New Zealand under floodlights in November have been welcomed.
A "World Test League" to find a top cricketing nation across all forms of the game was also something that the committee said should be debated for inclusion in the schedule after 2019.
After record-breaking individual and team scores during the 2015 Cricket World Cup, critics said the game was weighted too much in favour of the batsmen.
The committee felt that "today's cricketers are generally stronger athletes than previous generations of players". However, the committee has "no appetite for turning back the clock" in reducing the size of cricket bats.
But it was mentioned that the MCC would work with the ICC on a research project to look at the size of the seam on cricket balls, with the hope of making the ball swing more after 15 overs of use than it does currently.
This research will be discussed at a future meeting of the committee.
Whether it is winding up the other dug-out,cheekily predicting the opposition line-up, or allegedly hiding in a laundry basket to flout a stadium ban, he is always looking to gain an edge.
And it seems, even after getting sacked from Chelsea on Thursday, the 52-year-old may have indulged in one final piece of subterfuge and skulduggery.
On Thursday afternoon, a man with his hood pulled down over his face was driven away from Chelsea's Cobham training ground.
The waiting paparazzi lit up the gloom with a barrage of flashbulbs and the resulting photos - presumed to be of Mourinho fresh from clearing his desk - appear in many of today's newspapers.
However, is all as it seems?
Jose Mourinho sports a chunky wedding ring.
The figure in the passenger seat does not.
Mourinho revealed in March that he celebrates every trophy-winning season by "retiring" the watch he has been wearing, keeping it in a safe as a memento of his success.
He also has a sponsorship deal with a luxury Swiss brand that has produced a limited edition of 350 watches branded with his name.
The watch worn by the man leaving Cobham in a hurry appears to be a mainly black number.
It does not appear to match the model worn by Mourinho in his final pre-match press conference as Chelsea manager last Friday (on the left in the image below) and certainly is not the flashier design he sported earlier back in October (on the right).
The final exhibits presented in support of this theory are the hands themselves.
Has the shock of losing his job caused sudden and severe manual hair loss? Did Mourinho - who shaved his head between losing to Leicester on Monday and losing his job three days later - also take the clippers to his hands? Or is it just the effect of a flurry of camera flashes?
Either way, the man in the passenger seat on Thursday evening seems to have silky smooth hands where Mourinho, certainly last week, did not.
If not, it will be only a matter of time before this weird little fellow is as familiar on your feed as a thumbs-up.
Trash Dove, a Facebook sticker which has bowled over social media in Asia, is the cartoon baby of American artist Syd Weiler.
The Florida-based illustrator drew the bird in September 2016 and subsequently created a set of Facebook stickers in January 2017.
Trash Dove appeared in various guises that people could use as emojis, the most popular one showing the bird vigorously thrashing its head up and down.
It was all ticking along quietly and then wham - or coo coo - the dove appeared on a popular Thai Facebook page in a dance-off with a cartoon cat in early February.
Within a week, it had racked up 4 million views, and an army of fans.
After its popularity was picked up by news channels in Thailand, Weiler posted a thank you video on her Facebook page:
"Hello Thailand, thank you all so so much for your support. I'm really glad that you like the stickers."
However, not everyone is a fan. There is a petition to ban the bird from the internet by those fed up with seeing its purple bobbing head.
But what does it actually mean? Well, who knows? Perhaps its ambiguity is one of the reasons it is so popular.
As Syd Weiler wrote on her Facebook page in October 2016 : "In case you didn't know, I made some fantastically dumb iOS stickers, you can spam your friends and family with them!"
It's just another in a long list of internet memes we've seen so far this year like salt bae and cash me ousside.'
And if you haven't spotted Trash Dove yet, fear not. The purple bird is bobbing its way around the world to a Facebook page near you.

As 19th Century Tory prime minister Benjamin Disraeli once warned: "Keep your eye on Paisley."
Here are 10 reasons Paisley has made its mark on the culture of Scotland, the UK and the world.
After her remarkable victory at the general election, Mhairi Black is indisputably Paisley's most famous daughter at the moment.
The 21-year-old SNP politician became the UK's youngest MP and her first speech in the House of Commons went viral, being watched online more than 10 million times.
In that maiden speech, Mhairi Black referred to the history of her Paisley and Renfrewshire South constituency, pointing to the fact that Scottish national hero William Wallace, who fought against English rule, was born in Elderslie, just outside Paisley and was said to be educated by monks at the town's abbey.
Multi-million selling singer-songwriter Paolo Nutini is the town's most successful current pop star.
In the decade since his first hit single, the 28-year-old has racked up three huge albums and success around the world.
His father runs a fish and chip shop on the town's New Street.
Nutini's talent was spotted when he played an impromptu set at a concert organised for David Sneddon, the Paisley-born winner of the BBC talent show Fame Academy.
Hollywood star Gerard Butler hit the big time with 300, a fictionalised retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae.
The Paisley actor has since starred in numerous big budget blockbusters such as Olympus Has Fallen and the Bounty Hunter, with Jennifer Aniston.
He is also the voice of Stoick the Vast, the great chieftain in the How to Train Your Dragon movies.
The man who scored Scotland's most-lauded goal was a Paisley buddy, starting his career at the town's football club St Mirren.
He played 43 times for Scotland and scored eight goals, including his fantastic solo effort against the Netherlands in the doomed 1978 campaign.
The following year Gemmill's team Nottingham Forest won the European Cup but he was dropped for the final.
Phyllis Logan has played the housekeeper Mrs Hughes in all six seasons of the blockbuster period drama Downton Abbey.
She was born in Paisley and went to school in nearby Johnstone.
In the 80s she starred with Ian McShane in Lovejoy and appeared in the 1996 Mike Leigh film Secrets & Lies.
It all began with exotically patterned, delicate woollen shawls which were originally from Kashmir but European manufacturers began to produce cheaper versions to meet demand.
From roughly 1800 to 1850, the weavers of the town of Paisley became the foremost producers of these shawls.
Unique additions to their hand-looms and Jacquard looms allowed them to work in five colours when most weavers were producing paisley using only two.
The design became known as the Paisley pattern.
The shawl went out of fashion in the 1870s, but the pattern that had decorated them is still popular around the world today.
The late singer Gerry Rafferty is best remembered for his classic 1970s hit Baker Street but he also wrote songs about his home town Paisley.
Rafferty grew up on the town's Foxbar estate before bursting on to the folk scene with the Humblebums, whose line-up also included Glaswegian comedian Billy Connolly.
With Stealer's Wheel, Rafferty wrote the huge hit Stuck in the Middle With You before later embarking on a successful solo career.
He also produced numerous hits including The Proclaimers' first single, Letter from America, in 1987.
Rafferty died in 2011 and the town now runs a festival in his honour.
Rafferty was a good friend and contemporary of artist and playwright John Byrne, who grew up in Paisley's Ferguslie Park area.
Byrne wrote the popular BBC TV series Tutti Frutti in 1987, which introduced the world to the talents of Robbie Coltrane, Emma Thompson and Richard Wilson.
And in the theatre, Byrne is best known for The Slab Boys Trilogy, which was based on his own experience of the "slab room" of a Paisley carpet manufacturer.
Byrne's list of other achievements is wide and varied, from designing a Beatles album cover to creating the sets for National Theatre productions.
Former Doctor Who star David Tennant moved to Paisley as a child, with his Church of Scotland minister father.
He made his professional acting debut while still at Paisley Grammar and appeared with the agitprop 7:84 Theatre Company.
Tennant also made an early television appearance in the Scottish TV sitcom Rab C Nesbitt as a transsexual barmaid called Davina.
After his success as the doctor and his appearance in Harry Potter, Tennant has continued to land big roles in shows such as Broadchurch.
The current Doctor Who showrunner and chief writer Steven Moffat, who is also responsible for TV's Sherlock, is also from Paisley.
Scottish tenor Kenneth McKellar was a mainstay of the BBC's Hogmanay celebration programme and the White Heather Club series in the 1960s.
In 1965, the BBC selected McKellar to represent the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest in Luxembourg and he came ninth.
The song A Man Without Love became a hit single and he followed it up with successful albums.
Among his unlikely achievements was writing a sketch for Monty Python. It featured in the Secret Policeman's Ball and saw a blindfolded person trying to identify the star beating them up.
On a more serious note, Paisley has a rich and varied cultural heritage dating back hundreds of years.
It also has some of the finest architecture in the UK.
The Grand Fountain, the centrepiece of Fountain Gardens, was gifted to the people of Paisley by the wealthy mill owner, Thomas Coats of the world famous J&P Coats thread manufacturer.
The claim: The NHS is being given more money than it asked for.
Reality Check verdict: The amount that the NHS in England is being given over this Parliament is at the bottom end of the range that it asked for. It doesn't take into account the knock-on effects of shortfalls in other areas such as social care.
"We gave them more funding then they required."
But NHS England chief executive Simon Stevens denied this on Wednesday.
We are only talking about the NHS in England because health is a devolved power, although increased spending on the NHS in England is reflected in the overall amount of funding allocated to devolved governments.
The government says it has given the NHS in England an extra £10bn over the life of this Parliament, a more generous offer than the £8bn Mr Stevens requested in 2014.
The £10bn is NHS England's extra budget for the period 2014-15 to 2020-21, so it covers six years, not five - it is actually £8.4bn over the five-year Parliament.
And as Mr Stevens pointed out, the document in which he set out how much cash the health service needed was called the Five Year Forward View, not the six-year forward view.
But still, £8bn was what the NHS asked for, so shouldn't that be enough?
Mr Stevens has made clear that when he mentioned the £8bn figure, that was the minimum amount needed just to plug the funding gap.
But this figure is not enough to keep pace with rising demand, improve services or accommodate plans for seven-day services.
Speaking to NHS leaders last June, he said: "Let's not rewrite history.
"In the Forward View, we actually said that the National Health Service would need between £8bn and £21bn by 2020 in order to sustain and improve."
So government has given the NHS funding within the range of what it asked for, but it is at the very bottom of this range.
And we know demand is rising.
Between 2004-05 and 2015-16, attendances at accident and emergency departments went up by almost 30%, while over a similar period, the number of people aged 85 and over increased by 31%.
NHS trusts also finished the last financial year (2015-16) £2.4bn in the red, so some of the extra money is being used just to plug gaps.
On top of this, the government used a different calculation compared with previous years when it came up with the £8.4bn figure, arguably making it look more generous.
In the past when it talked about this funding, figures referred to the whole health budget and now they are referring to only NHS England.
This does not include things such as training, building upkeep or public health, including smoking cessation and some sexual health and obesity management services, which now fall on general local authority budgets.
All of these areas may face cuts that could pass on extra costs to the NHS, meaning the £8.4bn will not go as far.
Also falling to local councils rather than the NHS is the funding of social care.
When there is not enough social care available, this piles pressure on to hospitals.
For example, elderly people who cannot access the right care in the community are more likely to end up in A&E after falling or becoming dehydrated, for example.
Overstretched care services are also part of the reason people end up staying in hospital beds longer than they need to.
Figures published on Thursday showed there were almost 200,000 lost bed days in November 2016 because of delays in discharging people into the community.
So looking at the NHS budget in isolation does not tell the whole story.
The NHS might have more money, but if it has to be spent on keeping people in hospital because social care is unavailable, then it is not going towards treating more people or improving care.
The House of Commons Health Committee have worked out that it is a £4.5bn increase once you factor in the whole health budget in the way that it used to be calculated.

The 33-year-old England international joined West Brom on loan from Birmingham City in 2011 before making the move permanent a year later.
He has made 161 appearances for the club, keeping 41 clean sheets.
"His form has been there for all to see and he continues to set the standards at the club all the goalkeepers have to aspire to," said manager Tony Pulis.
It is more than triple the number needed to start organizing the process.
Earlier, Mr Maduro dismissed the initiative, saying he would serve out his full mandate until 2019.
Many Venezuelans are furious because of a deep recession, food shortages and a power crisis that has cut supply to four hours a day in most cities.
Under Venezuela's constitution, presidents can be removed from office by means of a referendum once they have served half their term.
At this earliest stage, 1% of those on the electoral roll must sign the petition to start the process.
"It's an extremely high number given that the National Electoral Board only requires a little under 200,000" signatures, said Enrique Marquez, deputy speaker of the opposition-controlled parliament.
He said the signatures would be handed over to electoral officials next week.
Mr Maduro was sworn into office in April 2013 and is halfway through his six-year term.
Thousands of Venezuelans queued to sign the petition in the capital, Caracas.
1. One per cent of voters on the electoral roll have to sign a petition within 30 days to kickstart the process
2, Twenty per cent of voters (almost four million) have to sign a second petition in order to trigger the referendum
3. For the referendum to be successful, an equal or greater number of voters than those who elected Mr Maduro would have to cast their vote in favour of the recall. Mr Maduro won the 2013 election with 7,587,579 votes
Miriam Leal, 54, told Agence France-Presse news agency that she was signing "to end this anarchy".
"We don't have medicine, work, education, and on top of that there is the electricity problem," she explained.
Like Ms Leal, many Venezuelans expressed their despair at the country's economic crisis which has seen inflation rise to the highest level in the world.
The oil-rich country relies almost exclusively on oil exports for its revenues and has been badly hit by the global fall in oil prices.
There are shortages of basic food items and medicines, and long queues form at supermarkets whenever some basic staple foods arrive.
A drought has also caused water levels at the country's main hydroelectric dam to drop dramatically.
Last week, President Maduro announced that power would be cut for four-hour periods daily except for in the capital, Caracas.
And on Tuesday, he said that public sector workers would only work two days a week to save power.
The government has blamed the power crisis on the El Nino weather phenomenon and the shortages on an "economic war" waged against it by the country's elite.
But its critics say years of mismanagement by the socialist government have driven the economy into the ground and that only a change at the top can save the country.
Earlier this year, they announced they would be pursuing three strategies to try to oust Mr Maduro: a recall referendum, a constitutional amendment and popular protests.
Earlier this week, the Supreme Court said that a constitutional amendment to shorten the president's term in office while constitutional could not be applied for Mr Maduro's current term.
The opposition is therefore placing its hope for change in the recall referendum.
Opposition politicians are also trying to act swiftly as the timing of the referendum is key for what follows.
If the president is recalled during his first four years in office, new elections are called,
However, if he is recalled in the last two years of his term, the vice-president takes over.
It is in the opposition's interest to have new elections, rather than have socialist Vice-President Aristobulo Isturiz serve out Mr Maduro's term.
It looked as though it would be a comfortable win after Rooney and Peter Pawlett gave them the half-time lead.
David Wotherspoon pulled a goal back for Saints early in the second half before Niall McGinn and Rooney again stretched the visitors' lead.
However, Steven Anderson and Tam Scobbie scored in a late Saints rally.
There was to be no late equaliser as Derek McInnes's side extended their run to 12 league games unbeaten, while Tommy Wright's men have now gone eight matches without a victory.
An injury to Andy Considine in the warm-up led to Mark Reynolds being promoted from the bench prior to kick-off, which meant the Dons started with the same back four that began the midweek win over Celtic.
However, it was the re-jigged Saints defence that was troubled as early as the fifth minute when Cammy Smith's neat pass picked out Shay Logan just inside the box.
The full-back delivered a low cross to the back post, where Rooney pounced to slot home his 11th goal in his past 15 appearances.
St Johnstone almost got a quick equaliser from a well-worked corner that fell to Scobbie at the edge of the area and the defender's left-foot volley bounced back off Scott Brown's left-hand post.
Liam Craig was booked for hauling down Graeme Shinnie as he ran at the Saints defence after breaking up play in the midfield, but that was not the only punishment for the home side.
The resultant free-kick was taken by Pawlett and he struck it from 26 yards with the aid of what looked like a slight deflection into the corner of the net.
Saints came close just before the interval when Graham Cummins was clean through, but his touch took him wide of goal as well as the goalkeeper and, from an acute angle, his effort crept inches wide of the post.
The home side began the second half in positive fashion and only a goal-line clearance from Shinnie prevented Scobbie, with a right-foot lob, pulling a goal back.
A goal did materialise for Saints after fine footwork on the edge of the area by Steven MacLean, whose reverse pass found Wotherspoon for a composed finished that breathed hope into the home side.
Rooney twice went close before McGinn restored the two-goal lead when Simon Church took advantage of poor defending and set up the substitute for is ninth goal of the season.
The home defence were culpable again as Rooney easily shrugged off a couple of challenges to fire his second of the match.
However, Anderson out-jumped everyone at the back post to head home Craig's corner and, one minute from the end, Scobbie's shot sailed through a ruck of players.
Paul Stinton, 45, from Ashford, died from his injuries three weeks after being knocked down in Simone Weil Avenue in Ashford on 4 January 2014.
Linda Ann Jenns, 49, from Richborough Way, Kingsnorth, had denied the charge at Canterbury Crown Court.
She was also disqualified from driving for four years.
Mr Stinton was hit by a Ford Kuga driven by Jenns as tried to cross the road.
When interviewed by Kent Police, Jenns said that she had driven through the traffic lights as they were amber.
Investigating officer PC David Jeeves said: "This tragic collision happened at a busy set of traffic lights.
"The Highway Code states that even amber lights should be stopped at unless you have crossed the stop line or to stop would cause an accident."
A clash of heads between Aldershot's Will Evans and Lincoln's Matt Rhead early on led to a lengthy stoppage before the game stuttered into life.
Aldershot, looking to extend a 10-game unbeaten run, survived early scares when Terry Hawkridge and Luke Waterfall both went close in quick succession.
Bernard Mensah forced a fine save out of Paul Farman at the other end just before the break, but Lincoln - who are three points clear and have a game in hand over their rivals at the top - came closest to breaking the deadlock when Waterfall headed onto a post on the hour mark.

The eight-time major champion, playing in his 43rd Masters, had hoped to make the cut but seven bogeys prevented a dream weekend goodbye.
The American, 66, received a standing ovation as he finished his second round with a par at a packed 18th green.
"To finish playing at Augusta with my friends and family watching - that's the way to go out," he said.
"The fans were really very generous with their applause, it was a pleasure."

He completed his 134th and last round in the Masters with a long snaking putt at the 18th that stopped just inches away from what would have been a fitting final birdie.
He was then embraced by a waiting gallery of family, Augusta Green-Jacketed officials and former golf rivals with hundreds of fans surrounding the green.
"I hope that over the period of my career, I've been able to show the crowd some great golf," he added.
Watson, whose two Masters wins came in 1977 and 1981, said that the only regrets he had over his long career was not winning a few more majors.
"I know I won probably more than my share, but on the other hand, there are a few that got away. I guess it all balances out in the end, just like they say," he said.
Last July, he marked his final appearance at the Open with an emotional walk up the 18th fairway at St Andrews at the end of his second round.
But he said Friday's walk up the 18th at Augusta National was even more special.
"There's more finality in this walk here, because I really have made the decision that the kids hit the ball too far. I can't compete against the kids," he said.
"This course really shows the difference. You've got to hit the ball a long way to play this golf course."
Taylor, 30, has played 27 games for Wigan since joining from Cardiff in 2014 and featured 23 times on loan with Championship side Reading last season.
He began his career at Middlesbrough and had loan spells at Bradford and Watford before moving to Cardiff in 2011, where he played 114 games.
The deal takes Bolton's tally of signings to seven for the season.

"We don't have to accept defeat as an inevitable state of affairs for the next five years," Mark Serwotka told the PCS union annual conference.
Mr Serwotka said members should oppose spending cuts and the expected attacks on pensions and public sector pay.
"We need to be prepared to fight like never before," he added.
Trade Unions coordinated industrial action in 2011 over public sector pensions.
But Mr Serwotka said that unity didn't last long enough.
He urged other unions "to step up to the plate".
"We need this time to not just call for united coordinated action across the trade union movement but it needs to be united in every sense" he said. "Common demands, common negotiations and common industrial action strategies".
The PCS union represents civil servants in Whitehall and around the UK in job centres, tax offices, the courts and immigration.
It is one of the biggest public sector unions with around 225,000 members.
But quoting a newspaper report that suggested government cuts could lead to 100,000 further job losses in the civil service, the PCS leader called on delegates to fight back.
"We need to commit ourselves to opposing the cuts, the closures of the offices, the privatisations and the further attacks we are expecting on pensions and in public sector pay" Mr Serwotka said.
Mr Serwotka said that the message from the election was not that the Conservatives won but that Labour lost by refusing to advocate ant-austerity politics.
And he said that proportional representation would help anti-austerity politics take hold in the UK.
He also criticised government plans to tighten strike ballot rules.
"They don't want to change the balloting laws to have more people voting to make it more democratic' he said. "They want to change the balloting laws to stop us from going on strike".
The PCS union has seen its membership fall in recent years, hit by cuts in Whitehall and across the public sector.
In total, around 90,000 jobs were cut across the civil service during the last parliament.
The PCS has also seen numbers drop due to changes in how it collects subscriptions from members.
Several government departments including the Home Office, HMRC and DWP have ended the so-called "check-off" system which automatically deducted union subscriptions directly from salaries.
That's led to lapsed memberships as the union attempts to re-recruit people to pay by direct debit.
Mr Serwotka admitted that the union was still on course to lose "thousands and thousands" of members. That's hit the union's finances forcing it to save £6m this year.
Htin Kyaw from the National League for Democracy (NLD) takes over from Thein Sein, who introduced wide-ranging reforms during his five years in power.
Although NLD leader Aung San Suu Kyi is barred from the presidency, she has said she will rule by proxy.
The handover completes the transition that began after the NLD won a landslide win in elections in November.
Thein Sein's legacy of reform
Htin Kyaw, 69, said he would be "faithful" to the people of Myanmar, as he took the oath of office in a joint session of parliament in the capital Nay Pyi Taw.
Vice-presidents Henry Van Thio and Myint Swe, who lost to Htin Kyaw in the presidential vote earlier this month, were also sworn in, as were new cabinet ministers.
Most of the ministers belong to the NLD. The list includes Ms Suu Kyi who will be in charge of foreign affairs, the president's office, education, and energy and electric power.
But the military is appointing its own nominees for three key ministries - defence, home affairs and border affairs.
In a brief speech, Htin Kyaw noted challenges ahead including the need for a nationwide ceasefire. The government has been engaged in armed conflicts with various ethnic groups for decades.
He also spoke about the constitution complying with modern democratic values, in a nod to the NLD's stated goal during the election campaign of changing the constitution.
Correspondents say this is perhaps the most sensitive issue in the NLD government's relationship with the army, who have 25% of parliamentary seats. It means the army retains the power to veto any changes to the constitution, as that would require more than 75% of votes.
The constitution contains a controversial clause barring anyone with family members who have another nationality from becoming president - widely seen as aimed at preventing Ms Suu Kyi from taking power, as her two sons are British.
Despite the restriction Ms Suu Kyi, who remains hugely popular and prominent in Myanmar, has vowed to act "above the president".
Last year, the NLD won 80% of contested seats in a historic election that was considered mostly free and fair and now dominates parliament.
Outgoing President Thein Sein, who led a quasi-civilian government from 2011 ending decades of military rule, will hand over power to Htin Kyaw, who assumes office on 1 April.
Thein Sein is credited with starting the reform process in Myanmar, also known as Burma.
Five years ago Myanmar was an international pariah, rusting in the sidings. Sanctions were in place, and people were scared to speak their minds. More than 2,000 political prisoners languished in jail.
Now, as Thein Sein hands over the controls to Aung San Suu Kyi and her NLD, Myanmar is a country on the up.
Where once people were jailed for criticising the junta, there is now a vibrant media and open public debate. The economy's growing rapidly and a telecoms revolution is under way.
With a few exceptions, notably the Rohingya minority, life for Burmese people has got better, and much of the credit for that must go to the stewardship of Thein Sein.
It sounds like a Christmas cracker joke, or the start of a Hollywood film pitch.
But the man who knows the answer is Les Carlisle, project manager of the conservation group Rhinos Without Borders.
Under his guidance, 12 white rhinos have just left their native South Africa for a new life in a nearby country, as part of an anti-poaching project.
The beasts spent 15 hours in a truck, plane, and helicopter to get from a game park in KwaZulu Natal, on South Africa's east coast, to their new location [which the BBC won't name for their protection].
"We send them an email with a boarding pass and a seat number, and then we run like hell," Mr Carlisle chuckles.
But in some ways, the truth is stranger still.
"A massive translocation like this involves having the right equipment and the right people in place to be able to manage these very big animals," the project manager says.
"The animals are caught and put into a steel crate that's specially designed to contain them, and designed to fit in the aircraft."
Mr Carlisle says it's not a matter of simply knocking them out.
"You have to immobilise them - make them go to sleep completely, and then blindfold them. And then you put earplugs in their ears.
"And then, you slowly give them a little bit of [sedative] reversal. Enough so they can stand up. They're uncoordinated at that stage - so then you put a rope round their heads and you pull them slowly into the crate.
"They have to walk on their own feet because they're very heavy. You can't move a tonne of sleeping meat!"
The rhinos need to be awake throughout the flight so they can move their legs and regulate their own breathing.
"The problem with a flight that long and an animal this big, is that if it lies for too long that restricts circulation to the leg. And they get pins and needles - and then occasionally the animal could lose the use of that leg," the conservationist says.
Then comes the heavy lifting. With the rhinos safely in their transport crates, a crane lifts them onto the back of a truck bound for the airport.
Next, the crane deposits them on a loading vehicle, which will move them on to a plane.
"In this case we had rollers on the floor," Mr Carlisle says. "We just laid them onto the rollers, and then rolled them into the aircraft.
The process involves a significant team of human helpers.
"The loading - you've normally got between 10 or 12 people per rhino. And we normally do two at a time, so 25 people."
Sadly, the move requires an armed security contingent due to the threat from poachers. Trading in rhino horn has been banned globally for four decades, but the substance - traditionally used in Chinese medicine - has a higher black market value than gold or cocaine.
Mr Carlisle says there are four rhinos airborne at any one time, "in a big military transport plane".
For the 12 re-homed animals, the flight time was about two hours and 40 minutes.
After clearing customs with their endangered species - and some serious paperwork - the team encountered an unexpected glitch.
Water levels at the rhinos' proposed habitat were too high, with floods a real risk.
Cue more flying rhinos.
"We had to heli-sling them to their new home. They've had two flights. It's a hell of an operation!" laughs the project manager.
Most of the world's wild rhino population - between 20,000 and 25,000 individuals - live in South Africa, where poaching is rife.
Rhinos Without Borders ultimately wants to resettle 100 of them.
The cost of shifting just one animal is around $45,000, if you include the expense of monitoring teams and anti-poaching patrols.
But as over 1,000 a year are killed in South Africa, equivalent to one every 7.5 hours - it may be the price of avoiding extinction.
Though Mr Carlisle is a veteran of animal relocation projects, he says this one has been special.
"I've translocated 40,000 [creatures] to about 70 new destinations in my career, and this has probably been one of the most emotive.
"It's absolutely unbelievable to see these animals slowly get up, take a few steps ... It really was emotional - phenomenal!"
Each of the roving rhinos had an ankle tag fitted and an ID chip implanted while under sedation, so monitoring teams can keep tabs on their welfare.
With any luck, they'll be too busy grazing - and breeding - in their new home to even notice.
Khadija Shah, 25, has been held in custody with her daughter, aged four, and her five-year-old son.
She says she had been on holiday in Pakistan with relatives and had no idea what was in the cases.
The BBC's Orla Guerin said if Miss Shah was convicted she could face the death penalty.
Miss Shah, who has not been formally charged, said some men asked her to take the bags to the UK as a favour.
Miss Shah was accused, at the court in Rawalpindi, of trying to smuggle 63 kilos of heroin.
She said if Miss Shah was convicted she could face the death penalty.
Miss Shah, who was six months pregnant, was arrested in Islamabad in May as she tried to board a flight back to Birmingham with her children.
Miss Shah told the BBC: "I had no idea what was in them. I wouldn't do that with two young children".
She told our correspondent conditions in prison were absolutely horrific, with stifling heat and overcrowded cells.
The legal charity Reprieve says Miss Shah's children contracted measles in jail, and claims other pregnant women have died in the prison where she is being held.
Reprieve said Miss Shah could not understand the legal proceedings against her as she did not speak Urdu.
She is due back in court on 29 June, when she is expected to be formally charged.

Lucy Boucher, from Antrim, had a successful kidney transplant last November. 3D models of her abdomen and the donated kidney, from her father, were used to plan the surgery.
Her parents, Chris and Ciara, were speaking to the Victoria Derbyshire Show.
The incident happened on the B4501, near Cerrigydrudion, at an area known locally as the "Evo Triangle".
It happened on Saturday shortly before 14:00 BST. The biker was pronounced dead at the scene.
North Wales Police is appealing for two other motorists who stopped to give assistance to get in touch as investigations continue.
The driver of the Daihatsu car, which was involved in the collision, was taken to hospital for treatment for injuries believed to be minor.

McIlroy, 25, from Northern Ireland, was eligible to play for Great Britain or Ireland and his choice has been the subject of ongoing speculation.
At one stage, McIlroy said he might not participate to avoid offending anyone.
"I have been thinking about the decision a lot and remembered all the times I represented Ireland as an amateur," he said on Wednesday.
"I've played for Ireland my whole life and there's no reason to change that now - it's just a continuation of what I've done.
"It's a decision I feel comfortable with and I'll be proud to represent Ireland in 2016.
"I'm 100% sure it's the right decision for me and I hope people respect my decision."
McIlroy revealed his decision on the eve of the Irish Open, which is being played at Fota Island in County Cork.
"Just because now that I'm playing golf for money and I'm a professional, I'm supposed to have this choice or this decision to make, where if you look at the rugby players, you look at cricketers or hockey players, they view Ireland as one, the same as we do in golf.
"I don't think there's any point to change that or go against that just because it's a different event or it's the Olympics."
The golfer, from Holywood in County Down, has twice played in the World Cup for Ireland - both times alongside fellow Northern Irishman Graeme McDowell.
He is one of the biggest stars in the game and won the US Open in 2011 and the US PGA Championship a year later.
"Just looking at the reaction on Twitter, it seems to have gone down very well. I think people understand it was a difficult decision for him and, from what I've seen, there's been little hostility. Had he decided to represent Team GB, perhaps there would have been more hostility.
"Golf breathes a huge sigh of relief because what golf didn't want was one of its biggest stars standing aside from the Olympics, so they'll be very pleased that he's made the decision and put out this signal of intent."
McIlroy hit the headlines earlier this year when he broke off his engagement to Danish tennis player Caroline Wozniacki.
Just days later he won the lucrative BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, the flagship tournament of the European Tour.
"I think it's great that he's put it to bed at last," said McIlroy's compatriot McDowell.
"I think it was a contentious, complicated, complex issue that I suppose could have been settled very quickly with a straight answer. I'm glad that he's committed and I'm hoping to be there alongside him.
"There's no doubt he'll be there. I just have to keep my game ticking over and hopefully I'll be there, as well.
"We are in a very unique scenario in Northern Ireland. We could easily declare for Great Britain or we could easily declare for Ireland. We have all-Ireland teams and we have sports which are split; obviously soccer is two teams and rugby is one team.
"To me, golf is always an all-Ireland sport. I grew up wanting to wear the green blazer with a shamrock on it and have a green golf bag with the Ireland logo on it. So it makes sense that the best players in Ireland, whether it be north or south of the border, should want to represent Ireland in the Olympic Games."
Golf is being played at the Olympics for the first time since 1904, having been voted in along with rugby sevens by the International Olympic Committee in 2009.
While his output is prolific, so too is the praise for his work.
His reputation is confirmed by the popularity of his shows and the prices his paintings command.
And while his elegant works often tease and provoke, the artist's opinions on the art world are also barbed.
A new exhibition that opens at the Martin Tinney gallery in Cardiff this week includes new work with prices reaching almost £10,000.
If he was a football manager he would be one of the special ones, and he knows it.
"An awful lot of people now believe that they are an artist," he remarks as we sit in his Cardiff studio.
"There is an awful lot of promotion of the idea that in everybody there is an artist. Well, there bloody well isn't."
As he opens his show in Cardiff, Mr Holland's works also hang in galleries in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Athens, Brussels and Marbella.
He is best known for painting female nudes, taking inspiration from history's idealist artists.
"I'm a great fan of 19th Century painting, which was the great era of the idealised human form," he said.
"In the 20th Century artists like William Bouguereau made absolutely wonderful depictions of the human figure, and put them in compositions which I think are glorious. There's a phrase they used to use in the pop industry - I 'pay homage' to that spirit!"
Born in Glasgow in 1941, he has lived in Cardiff since the 1970s and would hardly want to live anywhere else.
"I think Cardiff is wonderful," he said.
"It doesn't treat its artists particularly well, but it is a great place to be an artist. Brutally, because it's much cheaper than a lot of other places, and there are areas close to Cardiff which are even cheaper. And there is an artistic community which is very supportive.
"There are the usual politics, of course, and there are the usual vituperations. But generally speaking artists in Cardiff support one another, and help when they can."
Mr Holland is a commercial artist, and takes pride in never having relied on grants or public funds to sustain his career. In fact, he is quite scathing of the government and the art establishment for implementing policies that he feels have been detrimental to Welsh artists.
"The emphasis of the museums on 'bums on seats' to get the crowds in is so wrong-headed," he said.
"People should be allowed to be interested - or not - in art. The emphasis on the numbers of people has driven a dumbing down, and a lack of the need to make judgements of quality on behalf of the audience."
The issue of quality clearly concerns him, as does his perception that international artists and contemporary art installations are favoured by curators but not by the general public.
He tells me how he feels that a lack of critical voices in planning how to spend public money on art means nobody challenges "boring" art.
"They are frightened witless of making value judgements themselves, and of saying, 'This thing is better than that thing.' Because there would be a political storm if they said 'sorry, we don't like this sort of art, it's crap. Boring video art, forget it.' If someone said that, there would be a fuss.
"The system has become one in which curatorship is more important than the arts, and one in which careers are made in relation to what international artists you can show rather than what local artists you can discover."
The public galleries and art institutions who he has in mind would doubtless argue that contemporary art, and challenging pieces, deserve a place alongside treasured works from Welsh painters which also hang on their walls.
But if there is something Mr Holland is determined to encourage, it is a more open culture of criticism that would lead to an honest discussion about the quality of art that is produced and promoted in Wales.
"People are desperate not to say that one thing is better than another, when it patently is.
"I'm not claiming this for myself particularly, but there are some people who, by their dedication to whatever skills they need, and their ability to observe the world and their desire to say something about those observations, have something special to say. And those people should be sought out. But they're not."
While Mr Holland has just opened his new show in Cardiff, he reminds me that the paintings that are freshly hung on the gallery walls were completed months ago.
He may be 75 but age does not seem to limit his productivity or his passion, and he is already sketching the paintings that will eventually hang in a gallery in Wales or abroad in his next exhibition.
An application was made under the victims' right to review scheme, the Crown Prosecution Service said.
The singer, 75, was never arrested or charged over the assault allegations made by four men dating between 1958 and 1983 - which he strongly denies.
The case was dropped in June on the grounds of insufficient evidence.
The right to review process allows an alleged victim to ask the CPS to look again at a case file, providing their application is lodged within three months of a decision not to charge or to end proceedings.
A spokesman for the CPS confirmed they had received an application earlier this month and the review was "ongoing".
Sir Cliff was the subject of a long-running South Yorkshire Police investigation which began in 2014.
Two years later the CPS said he would face no further action saying there was "insufficient evidence to prosecute".
Sir Cliff said he felt "tarnished" by the allegations. "Insufficient suggests that maybe there's something there and I know there wasn't," he said.
He said his naming by the media, despite not being charged, meant he had been "hung out like live bait". | Linfield have announced the resignation of Jim Kerr who has been chairman of the Irish Premiership club since 2007.

Karen McArthur, a director at Ashers, took the order for the cake from Gareth Lee, a gay rights activist.
The cake was to have a slogan on it supporting gay marriage.
Although she accepted the order initially, Mrs McArthur said: "In my heart, I knew I would not be able to put that (slogan) on the cake."
Asked why she accepted money for it and expressed no concern about it to Mr Lee at the time, she said she did not "want to embarrass him or have a confrontation in the bakery".
It was more than 48 hours later, after consultations with her family that Mrs McArthur told Mr Lee that the order could not be fulfilled.
His money was returned.
Ashers Baking Company faces a discrimination case, brought with the support of the Equality Commission.
A barrister representing Ashers told the court that the County Antrim firm did not know, or care, about the sexual orientation of the customer who ordered the cake.
"The issue here was the content of the cake, and not a characteristic of the customer," he said.
"It was the cake not the customer."
The lawyer said that when Mr Lee was told his order had been cancelled, it was explained to him "courteously and sensitively" that the problem was simply the message on the cake.
Earlier, the general manager of Ashers, Daniel McArthur, gave evidence.
He was asked about a leaflet produced for the firm which indicated they baked Halloween cakes with witches on them.
Mr McArthur said it was no longer used by Ashers.
Asked if his church approved of Halloween celebrations, Mr McArthur said: "I've never talked to anyone in the church about it."
On how his faith impacted upon his work, he said: "We believe the business has been given to us by God and how we use it is on our shoulders."
The court was told Mr McArthur was appointed general manager at his parents' company two years ago.
He said the family had not taken legal advice before his mother Karen McArthur told the customer that the order would not be completed.
However, he said that that he had telephoned a church elder to "ask his thoughts" on the matter.
"We were not doing it in defiance of the law," Mr McArthur said.
"I think it is quite obvious that we do not know a lot of the ins and outs of the law.
"Our Christian faith is of utmost importance to us. It is how we run our lives; it is how we live our lives; it is how we bring up our families.
"Before God, this is something we couldn't make."
The case will resume on Monday.
The Williams sisters beat Vesnina and fellow Russian Ekaterina Makarova 7-6 (7-1) 4-6 6-2 to reach the semi-finals.
Serena had already beaten Vesnina in the singles semi-finals, while Venus was beaten by Angelique Kerber.
The Americans will meet German Julia Goerges and her Czech partner Karolina Pliskova for a place in the final.
The Williams sisters have already won five Wimbledon ladies' doubles titles, the last of which came in 2012.
Their path to a sixth has been eased slightly by a defeat for number one seeds Martina Hingis and Sania Mirza.
The defending champions were beaten 6-2 6-4 by Timea Babos and Yaroslava Shvedova.
That was the first of two titles surrendered by Hingis on Thursday, who, along with partner Leander Paes, was beaten in the mixed doubles by Great Britain's Heather Watson and Finnish partner Henri Kontinen.
Watson and Kontinen, in the third round after walkovers in each of the first two, won 3-6 6-3 6-2 to book a quarter-final with Scott Lipsky and Alla Kudryavtseva.

Peter Blackwood was accused of demanding money and cigarettes before trying to kill Naser Hussain at his Glasgow store in January 2016.
An attacker was seen on CCTV pointing a gun at Mr Hussain's chest and then shooting him the leg.
But Mr Blackwood denied any involvement and was cleared after a trial.
The High Court in Glasgow was told that despite Mr Hussain telling his attacker to take what he wanted, the gunman shot him in the leg and tried to help himself to cigarettes.
But the 24-year-old shopkeeper then chased him out of the KOF Convenience Store in Yoker with a bullet lodged in his leg.
Mr Hussain gave evidence at the trial and said he has since given up his shop and is now studying.
Jurors watched footage of a man dressed all in black with only his eyes on show going into the shop.
Mr Hussain was in another part of the store and made his way to the till area where the man pulled a gun out.
He told the jury the raider pointed the handgun "directly at him".
The police and an ambulance arrived after Mr Hussain chased his attacker away with a metal rod, the court was told.
Mr Blackwood later gave a "no comment" interview to police. The jury heard evidence that when he was charged with attempted murder, he confessed to police.
Footage of London Road police station was played to the jury, which officers claimed captured Mr Blackwood saying: "I wish I'd shot him in the face."
But jurors found the case against Mr Blackwood was not proven.
Thousands of gallons of water flooded Harborne Lane in Selly Oak after a water main burst in November.
Around 10 homes were damaged as water gushed through doors, with numerous cars trapped.
Severn Trent said repairs have begun and are expected to be finished by mid-February.
More on this and other stories across the West Midlands
Engineers are aiming to fix the pipe while maintaining water supplies across the city.
Paul Baldwyn, area operations manager, said once the pipe is repaired work will begin on fully reopening Harborne Lane, which is expected to last until the end of next month.
"We absolutely understand the frustrations of those affected by the burst and the subsequent road diversion, and we know it's been going on for a long time, but we want to reassure everyone that we have been working hard on this in the background constantly since the burst happened," he said.
"We know that this is really inconvenient for everyone and we can only say sorry for this."
Weir, 36, who has won six Paralympic gold medals, recorded a time of two minutes and 57 seconds in London, beating his previous best by six seconds.
"I've always said I could do it," said Weir, who has also won six World Championship gold medals in his career.
"I wanted to prove a point I was still up there with the best in the world."
It was Weir's fourth consecutive Westminster Mile title, beating South African rival Ernst van Dyk, and comes after six victories at the London Marathon.
Sir Roger Bannister, who ran the first sub-four-minute mile in 1954, congratulated Weir.
"I know that Dave's been on the edge of the three-minute mile for a while, so I send him all my congratulations for his huge achievement," the 87-year-old said.
Michael Davison and his wife spent six weeks living at a Premier Inn after their home in Mytholmroyd was flooded on Boxing Day.
The couple were told it would be between six and nine months before they could return home.
But housing association Places for People said he was a priority and have found the couple a bungalow in Halifax.
Mr Davison said he and wife Wendy were happy to be in their new home.
"In the hotel I was eating biscuits and chocolate bars whereas [now] I can make toast or a sandwich," he said.
"You notice little things like that which mean so much, so it's great."
Storm Eva flooded more than 4,400 homes and businesses across Calderdale when the River Calder burst its banks.
Mr Davison was one of about 40 people who had to flee their homes on Elphaborough Close.
"God willing I'll be back [in Mytholmroyd] and can end my days there as we originally planned," he added.
Greater Manchester Waste Disposal Authority (GMWDA) said it would seek to cancel its 25-year private finance initiative deal with Viridor Laing Ltd.
GMWDA, which signed the contract in 2009, faces financial challenges, Viridor's parent company Pennon said.
It indicated the firm would seek compensation over the termination.
Viridor Laing is a consortium of the waste and resources firm Viridor and construction group John Laing Infrastructure.
In December last year, John Laing PLC reported that GMWDA said it was "not satisfied with the current status" of the project and that it continued to "seek significant cost savings and efficiencies".
In a statement, GMWDA confirmed it had agreed to terminate the deal.
The authority added: "The decision allows for delegation for officers to progress termination. At this time we are unable to comment further."
Dominic Nash, a financial analyst at Macquarie, believes it could be "up to three years before there is any clarity".
He said: "The main driver is to save money. It does not come down to Viridor Laing doing a bad job because I don't think they have. The council budget is lower and they will want to reduce bills for customers."
Mr Nash said jobs would be transferred to any new contractor, and compensation would be paid.
He warned: "How the compensation is calculated is a good indicator for investment perception in the UK...If it is handled badly it has the potential to damage investor sentiment, as it would increase risk for investors."
GMWDA provides waste disposal services for councils in Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside and Trafford.
People are being asked to give their views on measures including the introduction of a soft opt-out system for organ donation.
Under an opt-out system, organs could be removed from a dead person if they had not registered or expressed an objection during their lifetime.
People have to opt in, under the current system.
That includes signing up to the Organ Donation Scotland.
Ministers have said they would consider introducing an opt-out system if it had wide support and could be introduced in a way that did no harm.
While progress has been made in increasing organ donation and transplantation in Scotland, there are still insufficient donors to meet the number of organs needed.
In 2015-16, despite 183 deceased and living organ donors and 415 people receiving transplants, there were still 542 people on the active transplant waiting list.
The consultation follows a previous bid to change the law by Labour MSP Anne McTaggart, which failed when Holyrood voted by 59 to 56 against her Transplantation Bill in February.
The Scottish Government described the Bill as well-intentioned but "seriously flawed".
Launching the 14-week consultation, public health minister Aileen Campbell said: "This year, there have been 85 deceased organ donors in the eight months since April compared to 60 over the same period last year.
"However, there is more we can do for those who are still waiting for a transplant and it's essential that we make sure we're doing all we can.
"That is why we are launching this consultation which looks at ways in which we could increase the number of people being referred to the donation services in Scotland and the number of times when donation is 'authorised' to proceed.
"In particular, we have agreed to consider the introduction of a soft opt-out system of donation if this can be developed in a way which will do no harm to trust in the NHS or to the safety of transplantation."
A soft opt-out system was introduced in Wales in December 2015 and Ms Campbell said the government would monitor its progress.
The consultation was welcomed by BMA Scotland, which supports the move to a soft opt-out system.
Dr Sue Robertson, a renal physician and member of the BMA's Scottish council, said: "Organ transplantation is an area that has seen amazing medical achievements but has not yet reached its full life-saving and life-transforming potential.
"The whole transplant community has worked tremendously hard to increase donation rates but we believe that more can be done.
"We believe that genuine choice over organ donation can be facilitated through a soft opt-out system.
"If properly implemented, with adequate resources and staff, and backed up by a high-profile campaign, an opt-out system could save or transform peoples' lives."
Officials said it was operating, but at a reduced capacity, after diesel fuel was sent from Egypt.
Engineers hope to restore it to full working order within days.
The plant was shut down in April amid an escalating power struggle between Hamas, which governs Gaza, and the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority.
The closure worsened the already lengthy blackouts which Gaza's two million inhabitants have been experiencing.
Despite the plant's partial resumption, residents will continue to receive four hours of electricity followed by about 14 hours off.
On Thursday, a day after lorries brought a million litres (220,000 gallons) of diesel into Gaza from Egypt, engineers partly restarted the plant.
A spokesman for the Gaza Electricity Distribution Company (Gedco), Mohammed Thabet, told the BBC that two of the four generators were now operating
He added that the other two generators would hopefully be operational before the festival of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the Islamic month of Ramadan.
The power plant is now generating 45MW - 30% of the 148MW of electricity available in the Strip. Israel is providing 80MW and Egypt another 23MW.
Gaza has long suffered from chronic power cuts, says the BBC's Yolande Knell in Jerusalem.
But, our correspondent adds, recent decisions made in Ramallah by the Palestinian Authority, headed by President Mahmoud Abbas, to put pressure on the Hamas government in Gaza have led to a worsening energy crisis.
Hamas stopped buying fuel for the power plant from the PA after the PA scrapped a tax exemption, doubling the price.
And this week Israel - which considers Hamas a terrorist organisation and does not deal directly with it - began reducing the electricity it supplies to Gaza after President Abbas said he would no longer pay Israel the full amount for it.
Mr Abbas had warned in mid-April that he would take "unprecedented steps" to "end the division" between Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
In 2006, Hamas won Palestinian parliamentary elections and reinforced its power in Gaza the following year when it ousted Mr Abbas' Fatah faction from the territory.
The rival groups agreed to the creation of a unity government in 2014, but it never got off the ground in Gaza.
Last week, the United Nations warned that a further increase in the length of blackouts was likely to lead to a "total collapse of basic services, including critical functions in health, water and sanitation sectors".

Voice370 said the search ought to be expanded - it was "an inescapable duty owed to the flying public".
The plane vanished en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur with 239 on board.
More than 120,000 sq km (46,300 miles) of the Indian Ocean has been searched with no results. Pieces of debris have been found as far away as Madagascar.
But only seven have been identified as definitely or highly likely to be from the Boeing 777.
MH370: What we know
The passengers on board MH370
Relatives' anger at 'ignored' debris
MH370: The key pieces of debris
There were 14 nationalities among the 227 passengers and 12 crew on board the plane. The majority - 153 people - were Chinese.
The underwater search discovered new volcanoes, anchors, long lost ships. Its sonar mapped an area of seabed less well known than the surface of the Moon. The sea gave up many secrets but it didn't give up MH370.
There were false alarms. At one point the search team rang the prime minister of Australia and told him to get ready to make an announcement. But when they sent down cameras on a drone to look at the odd shaped lump, they just found another ship wreck.
The experts on the boats had to cope with some of the worst weather on Earth, many days sailing from help. No helicopter could reach where they were looking.
They were desperate to solve this mystery, but drew a blank.
So what next?
The pain of not knowing is as sharp for the families as it was two years ago and they will lobby hard to keep looking. New scientific drift analysis suggests that MH370 came down slightly further north of where they were looking. There is a chance that private companies could fund a new search. Maybe Boeing?
But for now the hunt for MH370 is all but over, leaving the way open for internet "theorists" to fill in the blanks.
Mysteries like this never fade.
Announcing the suspension, Australia, Malaysia and China said "no new information has been discovered to determine the specific location of the aircraft" despite numerous studies.
They remained hopeful this would happen in the future.
However, Voice370, a family support group, said the search must continue and be extended to include an area of some 25,000 sq km north of the current one, recommended by a report released by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau last December.
"Stopping at this stage is nothing short of irresponsible, and betrays a shocking lack of faith in the data, tools and recommendations of an array of official experts assembled by the authorities themselves."
A report in November 2016 said the plane probably made a "high and increasing rate of descent" into the Indian Ocean.
One man's search for answers
Promise Ndlovu's body was found in Charter Street in Leicester on the morning of 29 October.
Leicestershire Police has referred itself to the Independent Police Complaints Commission as Mr Ndlovu had contacted them prior to his death.
The cause of the 40-year-old's death has not been confirmed.
Two other men, aged 34 and 55, have previously been charged with conspiracy to murder.
The three men charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice are aged 27, 28 and 36, and were due to appear at Leicester Magistrates' Court earlier.
A fourth man, aged 48, was arrested in connection with the death but has been released with no further action.
Sir Bernard, who was appointed to the role in September 2011, will remain in post until February to allow for his successor to be appointed.
During his time in charge, the 58-year-old oversaw policing of riots and the Olympic Games.
Sir Bernard said he believed it was "the right time to move on".
He said he had loved his time in the role but said it was "a good chance to make this change now" after the appointments of a new London mayor and home secretary.
"It also allows a decent amount of time to select my successor," he said.
Prime Minister Theresa May, who was home secretary for the majority of Sir Bernard's time as commissioner, praised his "total policing" approach saying he "has done an excellent job... at what has been a difficult time given the level of terrorist threat".
According to the Met, crime has fallen by around 18% during the time Sir Bernard has been in post.
He led the police response after the riots in 2011 and the murder of soldier Lee Rigby in 2013.
However, he has also faced controversy including questions about the Met's handling of Operation Midland.
The 16-month investigation was launched after claims boys were abused more than 30 years ago, but it closed in March without a single arrest.
The announcement of Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe's departure came as a surprise, given that he'd sought, and been granted, an extension to his original five-year contract.
The commissioner's explanation for resigning seven months early was that it was better to go before his "power deteriorates" in his final year.
That suggests that with a new London mayor and a new Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, he did not expect that his contract would be renewed again.
Sir Bernard denied his decision was linked to criticism of Operation Midland, the high-profile inquiry into allegations of a Westminster paedophile ring. He's due to discuss the findings of a report into the affair next week.
But the controversy surrounding the Met's handling of Midland remains the one significant blot on Sir Bernard's tenure.
He'll otherwise be viewed as a commissioner with a commanding presence who kept a firm grip on the Met during turbulent times.
Sir Bernard took charge of the UK's biggest police force when his predecessor Sir Paul Stephenson quit amid criticism of the Met's role in the phone-hacking scandal.
The Sheffield-born former traffic officer was awarded a knighthood in the 2013 New Year Honours list.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan thanked the commissioner "for his years of service" and denied reports he had helped oust the country's most senior police officer.
"It isn't to do with me, it's to do with Bernard deciding to retire," he said
Sir Bernard also said the pair have "an excellent relationship".
Home Secretary Amber Rudd, who will begin the search for Sir Bernard's successor with Mr Khan, called the commissioner a "determined crime fighter and an inspirational senior officer".
Several people have emerged as possible successors to Sir Bernard:
Sara Thornton is the current chair of the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC)
She has been in the role since April 2015 after the organisation replaced the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo).
Ms Thornton joined the Met in 1986 and undertook operational postings in West London and strategic roles in New Scotland Yard over the next 15 years.
Mark Rowley is the assistant commissioner in specialist operations at the Met and the national policing lead for counter-terrorism.
He was previously chief constable of Surrey and has served in the police for close to 30 years.
Among the crises he has had to deal with are the fatal shooting of Mark Duggan and the fleeing of three London schoolgirls to Syria to join so-called Islamic State.
Stephen Kavanagh is the chief constable of Essex, but started his career with the Metropolitan Police in 1985.
He was a founding member of the Racial and Violent Crime Task Force and was involved in creating the Race/Hate Crime Manual following the murder of teenager Stephen Lawrence.
He was head of intelligence in the Anti-Corruption Command before being named commander to SO15 Counter Terrorism Command where he worked closely with the security services.
The visit, later in June, is part of the Let Girls Learn initiative.
It comes six years after she delivered an emotional address to pupils at Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School in Islington, north London.
Mrs Obama's mother, Marian Robinson, and daughters Malia and Sasha will accompany her on the trip.
Her 2009 encounter with the Islington schoolgirls is said to have been a significant inspiration to her taking on a more campaigning role.
She was reunited with them in 2011, when she gave a speech at Oxford University on the second day of President Barack Obama's state visit to the UK.
The US embassy said Mrs Obama would "meet with students and discuss how the UK and the US are working together to expand access to girls' education around the world - supporting adolescent girls in completing their education".
Her trip to Europe will also take in Italy, where she is leading a presidential delegation on health issues and visiting members of the US military and their families stationed in Vicenza.
The aim of the Let Girls Learn initiative is to "encourage and support community-led solutions to reduce barriers that prevent adolescent girls from completing their education".
He was arrested following the death of 24-year-old Xixi Bi at a property in Ely Road, Llandaff, on Friday.
South Wales Police received a report of a woman experiencing breathing difficulties at about 08:25 BST, but she died at the scene.
The man appeared at Cardiff Magistrates' Court on Monday and spoke only to confirm his name and address.
He was remanded in custody and will appear at Cardiff Crown Court on Tuesday.
Ms Bi grew up in Nanjing, China, and came to Oxford to study as a teenager. She later went to Cardiff University.
Her family, who live in China, have been informed.
Mr Woolfe blamed technical issues with the site and insisted he was still in the race - but this has not been officially confirmed by the party.
He submitted his application at 11:35 BST - before the noon deadline - but it "did not successfully go through until 12:17", his spokesman said.
Candidates will be named on Tuesday.
Other contenders to succeed Mr Farage are thought to include Huntingdonshire councillor Lisa Duffy and MEPs Jonathan Arnott and Bill Etheridge.
Meanwhile, Mr Farage hit out at the party's National Executive Committee, which he said was made up of "amateurs" and "the lowest grade of people I have ever met".
He urged his successor to "bypass" the governing body and "make big decisions about UKIP's future via direct polling of the membership".
UKIP's leader in the Welsh Assembly, Neil Hamilton, said Mr Woolfe should not be able to run for the party's leadership if his nomination was submitted late.
But explaining his difficulties, Mr Woolfe, a north west England MEP and UKIP immigration spokesman, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "I did feel like I was in a scene from Little Britain's 'computer say no'.
"But at 11.35 yesterday I managed to be on the phone with my bank to prove that the £5,000 had been transferred over."
He said he had been speaking to a party official "at four minutes to 12, telling him 'I'm pressing the button for submit'" - and that he had sent pictures, upon request, to prove it.
He said there had been issues with the online system before and told Today that it showed UKIP needed to "professionalise".
Asked if he would pursue legal action if his application was rejected, he replied: "I hope it wouldn't come to that.
"Hopefully they recognise that everybody in the country now sometimes looks at their computer screens and screams at it when something is not working but we have a system in place that didn't seem to work properly that day."
Mr Woolfe also said claims that his party membership had temporarily lapsed in 2014 - which could affect his eligibility to stand under the party's rules - were "false".
"On March 17 2011, I paid over £1,500 to the party. Part of that was to the patrons' club and the remainder was to have a five-year membership that ran out in 2016 in March," he said.
Mr Hamilton, who is backing MEP Jonathan Arnott to be leader, said it was "ironic" that Mr Woolfe was standing on a platform to make UKIP more "professional" and "yet it seems he can't get his nomination papers in on time".
He told BBC Wales: "I think there are rules which have to be observed. It's not something there's any discretion about, the NEC has to abide by the rules, everybody has to do that, and if anybody is late in submitting nomination papers, I'm afraid that's it.
"I mean he's stood for election enough times, why did he leave it to the last minute, to the 59th minute of the 11th hour? If something goes wrong it's too late to do anything about it."
The leadership contest has been sparked by Nigel Farage, who led the party for most of the past eight years, standing down after the UK's vote to leave the EU.
A number of high-profile figures, including deputy leader Paul Nuttall, former deputy chair Suzanne Evans and UKIP's sole MP Douglas Carswell have ruled themselves out.
To stand, candidates each needed the backing of a proposer and 50 supporters from at least 10 UKIP branches - and to have been a member for the past two years.
The final list of candidates will be considered by the vetting committee of the party's national executive, before being announced on Tuesday, a UKIP spokesman said.
The winner will be announced on 15 September.
The Scot defeated China's Mei Xi Wen and England's Dominic Dale 4-0.
O'Sullivan recorded two 4-2 wins - over veteran fellow Englishman Jimmy White and Northern Ireland's Mark Allen.
Judd Trump faces Robert Milkins, Yu De Lu takes on Liang Wenbo and Mark Davis is up against Marco Fu in the other quarter-finals.
Hong Kong's Fu edged out Australia's Neil Robertson 4-3 having already beaten Finland's Robin Hull 4-0.
Following his 4-1 win over China's Xiao Guodong, Englishman Davis was also made to battle to a 4-3 win by Mark Williams, the Welshman having earlier beaten home favourite Stephen Maguire.
Trump beat fellow Englishman Kyren Wilson 4-2 after whitewashing Thailand's Noppon Saengkham.
Milkins was another to win a by a deciding frame, against Anthony Hamilton, having beaten another fellow Englishman, Joe Perry, 4-1.
China's De Lu had single-frame wins over Welshman Daniel Wells and England's Sean O'Sullivan.
Wenbo edged out Barry Hawkins by one frame after the Chinese beat another English opponent, Ian Burns, without the loss of a frame.
Sources close to government forces denied that they had been pushed aside and said they had driven the rebels back from an artillery base.
UK-based activists say the rebels have indeed managed to link up with their comrades in eastern Aleppo.
But the rebels have so far failed to establish a secure route, they add.
There were sporadic clashes and air strikes on Sunday morning, after the reported ending of the siege, monitors said.
Children burn tyres to create no-fly zones
Government forces cut Aleppo's rebel-held areas off in July, with some 250,000 people living under siege.
Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based activist group, said the rebels had broken the siege but the route was "not fully secure yet".
On Friday, the rebel groups said they had stormed an artillery base in the city.
But the Syrian army said it had repelled the assault and inflicted heavy casualties on the rebels.
Meanwhile, a US-backed alliance of Kurdish and Arab fighters seized most of Manbij - a key Syrian city - from so-called Islamic State.
Fawaz Gerges, who is professor of Middle Eastern Politics at the London School of Economics, told the BBC News Channel that the rebels had certainly made gains.
"The rebels coalition - it's called the Army of Conquest - has basically made some major progress," he said.
"It has been able to score some major gains in the past 48 hours. The question is not whether the opposition has made some progress or not [but] whether they can really maintain the areas that they occupy and whether they can consolidate it."
The Syrian army has been fighting the rebels with the help of Russian air strikes.
Earlier this week, Russian state television ran pictures of civilians and fighters reportedly leaving the city through humanitarian corridors announced by Moscow.
But some rebel groups described the Russian initiative as a ploy to recapture all of Aleppo.
Aleppo was once Syria's commercial capital and also boasted a rich architectural and archaeological heritage.
Much of it has been destroyed or looted during more than five years of war.
RWE Innogy wanted to use water from the River Conwy to supply its proposed hydro power project at Betws y Coed.
The firm said it would have had a positive impact on the environment but campaigners were worried half an acre of the centuries-old Fairy Glen Wood would be destroyed by the build.
Snowdonia National Park Authority rejected the proposals on Wednesday.
The project would have taken water from the river above Penmachno bridge and diverted it through more than half a mile (1km) of pipeline around Fairy Glen to generate electricity, before returning it to the river near the River Lledr junction.
It would have been capable of generating enough power for about 3,200 homes a year.
Billy Langley, of RWE Innogy UK, said he was "extremely disappointed" with the authority's rejection of the plans, which he said would have had a positive impact on the local environment and economy.
"In light of this decision, we will now take some time to consider our options," he added.
She is accused of leading one of Africa's biggest ivory smuggling rings, responsible for more than 700 elephant tusks worth $2.5m (£1.7m) illegally leaving Tanzania for the Far East.
Ms Yang denies all charges. Her trial, set to begin in Dar es Salaam on 9 May, has been postponed for two weeks.
So what do we know about the woman dubbed the "Ivory Queen" and what exactly is she accused of?
Originally from Beijing, Ms Yang first went to Tanzania in the 1970s. She was one of the first Chinese students to graduate in Swahili and worked as a translator for Tazara, the Tanzania-Zambia Railway project that China was helping to fund and build.
According to China Daily, after the railway was completed in 1975 she returned to Beijing to work in the government's foreign trade department.
It wasn't until 1998 that she decided to set up business in Tanzania. In fact, she set up two.
She rented a two-storey building in downtown Dar-es-Salaam, opening a Chinese restaurant on the ground floor and establishing an investment company, Beijing Great Wall Investment, on the floor above.
The restaurant proved to be a success but in 2014 she told China Daily: "Now I do not count on the restaurant to make money. Instead, I see it as a place where people from China and Tanzania can communicate, get to know more friends and conduct information exchanges."
She has spoken of her attachment to Tanzania, both physical and emotional. Her daughter is named Fei, the first character of the word for Africa in Mandarin.
By 2012 she was secretary-general of the Tanzania China-Africa Business Council.
"I know I should have retired, but whenever I think that my language advantage and network can help many Chinese and Tanzanians and increase mutual trust and confidence, I do not want to stop. I myself am the best illustration of China-Tanzania friendship," she said in 2014.
But at the same time, investigators say, Ms Yang was a major player in a far darker relationship developing between Tanzania and China - the illegal ivory trade.
They say she was a key link between poachers in East Africa and buyers in China for more than a decade.
Tanzania's National and Transnational Serious Crimes Investigation Unit tracked her for more than a year. She was arrested after a high-speed car chase in October 2015 and charged with ivory smuggling between 2000 and 2014.
Poachers and ivory traffickers are threatening the very existence of elephants in Central and East Africa. Tanzania lost more than 60% of its elephants between 2009 and 2014.
The role of Chinese buyers in this hardly comes as a surprise - demand for ivory in China is high because of its use in ornaments and even in holistic medicine.
Most of the time those arrested are small-time smugglers - which is why Yang Fenglan's arrest was welcomed by wildlife groups.
"It's the news that we all have been waiting for, for years," Andrea Crosta, co-founder of the US-based Elephant Action League, said in October.
"We must put an end to the time of the untouchables if we want to save the elephant."
The Elephant Action League says Ms Yang is "connected to various companies abroad, all Chinese-owned, and circulates in the upper echelons of Chinese citizens living and working in Tanzania".
"When we think of a kingpin, we think of someone like Al Capone," Mr Crosta said. "But this was someone who mingled with the country's elite, who blended in."
Ms Yang denies the charges against her. If found guilty she faces up to 30 years in jail.
The federal government says it is monitoring the situation closely and is ready to provide assistance upon request.
CBC News reported that an estimated 7,000 people had been forced from their homes.
The fires threaten several communities in BC's central interior region.
It is the first state of emergency declared by the province in 14 years.
The BC Wildfire Service said that lightning, strong winds and high heat were all contributing factors in the spread of the wildfires burning across hundreds of kilometres.
The hot weather is expected to continue throughout the weekend.
No deaths or injuries were reported and authorities are asking residents to take every precaution to stay safe.
The province of Saskatchewan is sending three planes and 30 firefighters and support personnel to assist. About 260 firefighters from outside the province are expected to arrive in BC next week, provincial Natural Resources Minister John Rustad told journalists.
"The weather situation is not favourable," Mr Rustad told Reuters. "There is very aggressive fire behaviour that makes it very difficult to directly attack."
Incoming provincial Premier John Horgan in a statement: "To those who have lost their homes and to those who are under evacuation order, I want to send my comfort at this difficult time."
"Whatever these wildfires throw at us, we will overcome it."
Environment Canada said much of southern BC was under threat of forest fires.
The BC Wildfire Service said that the Gustafsen wildfire burning near 100 Mile House, a town about 400km (250 miles) north of Vancouver, reached a estimated size of 3,200 hectares by Saturday afternoon. About 120 firefighters are battling that blaze.
"This fire is expected to grow substantially in the next hours and the amount of growth is dependent on weather and wind conditions," the agency said, urging the public to exercise caution and stay away from the region.
BC experiences up to 2,000 wildfires a year but the majority are contained within 24 hours.
The 53-year-old's spell as interim Chelsea boss is coming to an end and he will replace Walter Mazzarri, who has joined Napoli's Serie A rivals Inter.
Napoli finished second in the Italian league last season and have qualified for next season's Champions League.
This season's Europa League win with Chelsea means Rafael Benitez has won 10 trophies as a manager:
"I am very happy and very satisfied for having committed to a great club with an illustrious heritage like Napoli," said Spaniard Benitez.
"I understand the history of the city and how the club forms a fundamental part of the culture and traditions of Naples.
"I must confess that I am extremely excited because I can share my passion for football with the fans of Napoli; it is proven that they are very, very special.
"I look forward to experiencing each and every one of the fans of Napoli and their strong support for this project that we will begin."
Benitez is bringing first-team fitness coach Paco de Miguel and first-team opposition analyst Xavi Valero with him from London to Naples.
Napoli club president Aurelio De Laurentiis first made the appointment public when he posted a picture on Twitter of himself shaking hands with Benitez.
"Rafa Benitez is the new coach of Napoli," he tweeted. "A man of great international experience. A leader."
Napoli later confirmed the appointment, calling Benitez a "prestigious" coach.
The Spaniard twice won La Liga with Valencia, while also leading the club to a Uefa Cup victory.
He then spent six seasons in charge of Liverpool from 2004 and guided the Reds to Champions League glory in 2005 as well as the FA Cup in 2006.
Benitez parted company with the Anfield club in June 2010 before taking over at Inter Milan a week later - a post in which he lasted just over six months, despite a Club World Cup success.
Following nearly two years out of club management, he took over as interim Chelsea boss in November 2012.
Benitez guided the Blues to the Europa League trophy this season, while a third-place finish in the Premier League ensured the Stamford Bridge outfit would play in the Champions League next season.
He also led Chelsea to the final of the Club World Cup - where they lost to South American champions Corinthians - and the semi-finals of the FA Cup and League Cup.
Despite a season widely regarded as a success, Benitez remained unpopular with a section of the Chelsea support after succeeding Roberto Di Matteo in November and had underlined his intention to leave the club at the end of the season.
The Spaniard was linked with the vacant roles at Everton and Stoke after announcing he would be leaving Chelsea, who are expected to re-appoint former manager Jose Mourinho this summer, after the Portuguese's departure from Real Madrid was confirmed.
A Blues statement read: "Everybody at Chelsea Football Club would like to place on record our thanks to Rafa and his staff for their work at the club, and wish them success for the future."
The 29-year-old, who joined the League One side from Millwall earlier this summer, suffered a suspected dislocated or broken left ankle.
He was hurt after landing awkwardly 13 minutes before full-time, and the game was called off soon afterwards.
"Our thoughts are with Lee," said Gillingham manager Justin Edinburgh.
"We hope that he makes a quick recovery," Edinburgh added of the former Manchester United youngster, who had come on at half-time in place of Bradley Dack.
First-half goals from Jordan Bowery and Jay Simpson had put League Two side Orient 2-0 up when the game was abandoned.
Martin is the third Gillingham player to be injured during pre-season, with defender Bradley Garmston and midfielder Aaron Morris both out of action with knee injuries.
The difference in average turnovers between Premier League and Championship clubs grew in each season from 2014-16.
More and more Championship clubs are spending beyond their means chasing a place at English football's top table.
However, the Premier League is becoming a "closed shop" as successful clubs only become richer, an expert says.
The EFL said its clubs were "in a good financial position overall because of the support of their boards and shareholders" and could compete with teams across Europe who did not take part in Uefa competitions but conceded there was "clearly a sizeable gap in revenue generation".
The Premier League said it made solidarity payments to EFL clubs "linked to the value of broadcasting contracts", made youth development and community grants throughout the EFL and made pension contributions and provided medical insurance to all professional players in the Championship and Leagues One and Two.
It said broadcast revenue gave its clubs "investment choices, and the financial regulations [including parachute payments for relegated teams] we have in place encourage good governance and sustainable investment".
In 2015, the Premier League sold television rights to its games for a record £5.136bn, 71% above the previous deal.
BBC England's data unit and BBC Sport analysed most recent accounts - covering the three years until 2016.
The full extent of the impact of the new TV deal on clubs is expected to be seen first in the 2016-17 accounts, which have not yet been published.
The extra money awarded to clubs at the end of the last season, however, suggests the financial divide between the Premier League and the EFL will only widen further.
Our analysis found:
That was up from eight out of 24 in 2014 and nine of 24 in 2015, with the rise occurring despite rules being in force to curb excess spending.
The combination of a record TV rights deal and the effect of spending rules will prevent the rise of any "new money" clubs in future and extend a hierarchy of historically rich Premier League clubs, according to football finance expert Kieran Maguire, from the University of Liverpool.
He added that the Championship is also at risk of becoming a "basket case" division as clubs are tempted to stake more money on chasing Premier League status, if they have financial backers who can sustain losses.
The Premier League rejected that criticism, saying its model supported all of its clubs "to put on competitive and compelling football, and compete in European club competitions".
It said this season Brighton and Huddersfield Town would be the 48th and 49th clubs to compete in the Premier League in "a clear example of the overall health of the English game and the opportunities for ambitious clubs to develop and progress within the football pyramid".
In the Premier League, what were known as Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules in place from 2014-16 limited the increases clubs could make in spending on players between seasons that were funded purely by new broadcast revenue.
They could, however, make bigger increases in player spending every year if they had more of their "own revenue", which could come from new commercial or sponsorship deals, profit from player sales, rising matchday income - such as an increase in ticket sales - or Uefa prize money from appearing, for instance, in the Champions League.
Clubs which could not satisfy those criteria were capped on any increases in player spending between seasons.
There was no cap on player costs or wages in the Championship but the rules limited losses to a maximum of £13m per season, or £5m per season if the owner did not inject cash into the club to cover those losses.
FFP was replaced with Profitability and Sustainability rules last season, which changed the assessment period to three years.
That change meant clubs that remained in the Championship from 2014-17 were permitted to lose an average of up to £13m each season without facing sanctions; they could lose a total of £39m at any point during those three years.
Maguire echoed the warning earlier this year from finance firm Deloitte that Championship clubs may continue to be tempted "to spend excessively relative to their revenues, particularly on wages".
"In the Championship, clubs have a three in 24 - or one in eight - chance of winning the lottery [by promotion] and it's just a case of how much are they willing to pay for a ticket," said Maguire.
"But it means the vast majority of clubs - if they do not have rich owners who can sustain losses - are happy to settle for staying up.
"The spending rules operate well at the lower levels because there is a wage cap but at the elite level it's anti-competitive and prevents the rise of the next new money club, such as a Manchester City."
The EFL told the BBC "these [spending] rules will be kept under regular review".
The gap in revenue generation between the divisions was "nothing new", said the EFL, which is reported to be set to announce its own new £180m-a-year TV deal.
"In addition, revenues for EFL clubs continue to increase through club-generated income, alongside improved central contracts and EFL-negotiated solidarity payments," the EFL added.
"FFP regulations were first introduced in 2012 to help support clubs to spend within their means.
"New regulations came into force this year, and now clubs in the Championship are governed by Profitability and Sustainability measures.
"These rules allow clubs to function in a fair and sensible manner, whilst also providing the freedom and flexibility for club owners to operate in what is an increasingly competitive marketplace. These rules will be kept under regular review."
Lord Alan Sugar, who was involved in the first Premier League TV rights deal in 1992, previously described the money coming into the Premier League as the "prune juice effect" - as in "it goes in one end and goes out the other".
The former Tottenham owner said the more money that was given to clubs, the more money would be spent on players.
The Premier League itself has previously highlighted its investment in facilities and good causes, the tax revenue from players' wages and said its wealth is distributed beyond those 20 clubs.
It emerged earlier this year higher costs for Premier League rights had hit annual profits at Sky despite a jump in revenues and new customers.

He is expected to spend the remainder of a five-year prison sentence at his uncle's home in Pretoria.
He shot Reeva Steenkamp through a locked bathroom door in 2013 but said he thought she was an intruder.
Ms Steenkamp's relatives say they think Pistorius is "getting off lightly".
Oscar Pistorius, 28, was found guilty of culpable homicide, or manslaughter, of his 29-year-old girlfriend at a trial in October last year.
A case lodged by the prosecution appealing against that decision is due to be heard by the Supreme Court of Appeal on 3 November. State prosecutors say Pistorius should have instead been convicted of murder.
The athlete was released on Monday evening, a day earlier than expected, according to a spokesman from the Kgosi Mampuru II prison, where Pistorius was being held.
"Oscar Pistorius was placed under correctional supervision tonight," Manelisi Wolela confirmed in a statement.
"The handling of the actual placement is an operational matter of the local management, and how they handle it is their prerogative that is carried out in the best interest of all parties concerned, the victims, the offender and the Department of Correctional Services," he added.
Oscar Pistorius was driven under cover of darkness to his uncle's house 20 minutes away, a premature departure designed presumably to avoid the media glare, says the BBC's Karen Allen in Pretoria.

The making and unmaking of Oscar Pistorius
Has politics intruded in the Pistorius case?
It is understood he will not be electronically tagged but he will have restrictions on his movement, she adds.
His parole conditions include gun ownership restrictions and continued psychotherapy sessions. The disabled sportsman is also expected to do a period of community service.
South Africa's justice minister blocked an earlier attempt to get the Olympic athlete's release in August in a surprise move.
Speaking earlier to the BBC, Reeva Steenkamp's cousin Kim Martin said the family might consider visiting Pistorius when the time is "right". But she also said she felt he was "getting off lightly".
Her parents have previously said that the time served by Pistorius was "not enough for taking a life".
Under South African law, the double amputee was eligible for release under "correctional supervision" having served a sixth of his sentence.
Meanwhile, a close family friend of the athlete said he was in poor physical shape, adding that his return to athletics would be unlikely.
Pistorius competed in the 400 metres at the London 2012 Olympics, wearing carbon-fibre blades to run against able-bodied athletes.
If the prosecution is successful with its appeal next month, Pistorius could face a lengthy sentence back in prison.
Guy Verhofstadt said a system is needed for individuals to keep rights, such as freedom to travel and voting in European elections.
The former prime minister of Belgium said Brexit had been a "tragedy" for people in the UK and EU.
He also warned the European Parliament had veto powers over any deal struck.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Verhofstadt said he had received more than 1,000 letters from UK citizens who did not want to lose their relationship with "European civilisation".
He said: "All British citizens today have also EU citizenship. That means a number of things: the possibility to participate in the European elections, the freedom of travel without problem inside the union...
"We need to have an arrangement in which this arrangement can continue for those citizens who on an individual basis are requesting it."
He now hopes to convince European leaders to agree on this.
But Mr Verhofstadt also warned that the European Parliament will have veto powers to reject any deal brokered between the UK and the European Commission on Brexit.
Prime Minister Theresa May has said she wants to trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty by the end of March, which would pave the way for Brexit negotiations.
But experts say many other factors could be at play and people should not stop taking supplements.
University of Auckland researchers analysed 23 studies involving more than 4,000 healthy people.
The UK government recommends children and over-65s take a daily supplement.
The New Zealand research team conducted a meta-analysis of all randomised trials examining the effects of vitamin D supplementation on bone mineral density in healthy adults up to July 2012.
The supplements were taken for an average of two years by the study participants.
Bone mineral density is a measure of bone strength and measures the amount of bone mineral present at different sites in the body. It is often seen as an indicator for the risk of osteoporosis, which can lead to an increased risk of fracture.
The trials took place in a number of different countries including the UK, the US, Australia, Holland, Finland and Norway.
Although the results did not identify any benefits for people who took vitamin D, they did find a small but statistically significant increase in bone density at the neck of the femur near the hip joint.
According to the authors, this effect is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Prof Ian Reid, lead study author, from the University of Auckland, said the findings showed that healthy adults did not need to take vitamin D supplements.
"Our data suggest that the targeting of low-dose vitamin D supplements only to individuals who are likely to be deficient could free up substantial resources that could be better used elsewhere in healthcare."
Writing about the study in The Lancet, Clifford J Rosen from the Maine Medical Research Institute agrees that science's understanding of vitamin D supports the findings for healthy adults, but not for everyone.
"Supplementation to prevent osteoporosis in healthy adults is not warranted. However, maintenance of vitamin D stores in the elderly combined with sufficient dietary calcium intake remains an effective approach for prevention of hip fractures."
The Department of Health currently recommends that a daily supplement of vitamin D of 10 micrograms (0.01mg) should be taken by pregnant and breastfeeding women and people over 65, while babies aged six months to five years should take vitamin drops containing 7 to 8.5 micrograms (0.007-0.0085mg) per day.
Dr Laura Tripkovic, research fellow in the department of nutritional sciences at the University of Surrey, said the study was important but very specific.
"I'm not surprised they didn't find any evidence of the effects of vitamin D on bone density because there are so many other factors involved in osteoporosis, like genes, diet and environment.
"To pin it all on vitamin D... it's difficult to do that."
Dr Tripkovic said it was no good taking vitamin D supplements if people didn't also maintain a healthy, balanced diet containing calcium and take plenty of exercise.
She said most healthy people should be able to absorb enough vitamin D naturally, through sunshine and diet.
"But if people are worried about their vitamin D levels then a multi-vitamin tablet would do. If you have bone pain and muscle aches then you should go and see your GP and discuss it."
We get most of our vitamin D from sunlight on our skin, but it is also found in certain foods like oily fish, eggs and breakfast cereals.
However, taking too much vitamin D in the form of supplements can be harmful because calcium can build up and damage the kidneys.
Experts advise taking no more than 25 micrograms (0.025mg) a day.
The UK guidance is currently being reviewed.
A video shot by Facebook user Johnny Lester in the Weston Favell store shows people forming a scrum as they cram their baskets full of bargain produce.
A woman is overheard calling the shoppers "disgusting". Mr Lester blamed the store for how the food was put out.
A Tesco spokesman said the "safety of our customers and colleagues is of paramount importance to us".
The video, which has been viewed by almost 1.5m people, starts with a number of Tesco customers surrounding a reduced counter at the store.
Someone is clearly heard telling them: "Sit, sit."
Staff have to fight their way out as customers dive in to grab the goods. Customers are seen piling baskets high with meat produce.
Mr Lester, who took the video on Monday, said he was "shocked and in disbelief".
"I had heard about it, but never seen it happen like that before," he said.
"Tesco were at fault. If you throw a load of trays on the floor like that with people waiting, what is going to happen?"
Former Northampton North MP and Green Party politician Tony Clarke said Tesco were "crass and irresponsible" for putting the food out in the manner they did.
He said: "They put their staff at risk and allowed their customers to wrestle on the floor in the hunt for a bargain."
A woman in the background of the video can be clearly heard saying: "I am sending this to your head office because they are disgusting."
The Tesco spokesman said an investigation had been held and the store manager "will take steps to prevent a similar situation happening again".
He said: "We are continually trying to improve the way we deal with surplus food, this includes making better reductions earlier in the day to make it easier for customers and colleagues in the evening."
Full-back Scott Wiseman made the decisive breakthrough in the 80th minute, his sweetly-struck shot from the edge of the box nestling in the back of the net via the inside of the post.
The story could have been much different had the Latics taken one of three good opportunities that came their way in the opening 45 minutes.
Billy McKay side-footed a great opportunity wide from seven yards when the goal was gaping and Iron keeper Luke Daniels twice thwarted Ryan Flynn after he had got in behind the defence.
Scunthorpe improved greatly after the break and were unlucky not to go in front much earlier.
Kevin van Veen thought he had broken the deadlock with a shot that cannoned down off the stanchion before being cleared and seconds later Tom Hopper was flagged offside after adding the finishing touch to a free-kick.
It did not matter though as, after Latics midfielder Paul Green had been sent off for his second booking in the space of seven minutes, Wiseman fired home.

The Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital (QEQM) in Margate said it had experienced a sudden surge in attendance in the last 24 hours.
People are being asked to go to a pharmacist, GP or minor injuries unit.
QEQM is run by East Kent Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which was put into special measures in September.
It followed a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection which rated QEQM's A&E as inadequate.
The trust said the hospital was currently extremely busy caring for large numbers of people who were seriously ill.
Senior Matron Mike Walker said it was dealing with increased numbers of elderly people who were suffering from dehydration in the hot weather.
The summer was also causing an increase in minor ailments from people visiting the seaside and working in their gardens.
The trust asked the public to carefully consider safe alternatives to A&E in east Kent, particularly at QEQM.
"This will help us to provide the specialist care seriously ill patients need in our emergency departments," said director of operations Jane Ely.
The trust also runs the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford; the Kent and Canterbury in Canterbury; the Buckland in Dover; and the Royal Victoria in Folkestone.

Coppola, an Oscar-winner for Lost in Translation, will direct a new production of Giuseppe Verdi's tragedy La Traviata at the Rome Opera.
She was enlisted by fashion designer Valentino Garavani, a fan since seeing her lavish 2006 film Marie Antoinette.
The venue and its patron Garavani - known as Valentino - said the drama balanced "the classic and the modern".
Like Marie Antoinette, Verdi's opera is set in 18th Century Paris.
But, based on the play La Dame aux Camelias by Alexandre Dumas fils - the son of The Count of Monte Cristo author Alexandre Dumas - it tells the story, not of a queen but of a young courtesan who sacrifices all for love.
Rome Opera Foundation's general manager Carlo Fuortes said the production of La Traviata would take inspiration from the world of film and would be a "momentous event".
Coppola, the daughter of Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola, won the best original screenplay Oscar for her 2003 film Lost Translation, starring Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson.
Her other notable films include The Virgin Suicides and Somewhere, for which she won the Golden Lion at the Berlin Film Festival.
Nathan Crowley, who worked on two Batman movies, will design the production.
Meanwhile, Valentino will fittingly create the costumes for his collaboration with Coppola. He will be helped by the two designers who took over from him at the fashion house that still bears the Valentino trademark name.
The involvement of the celebrated fashion designer has been a big boost for the Rome Opera House whose finances have been hit hard by the European financial crisis.
It finally returned to break even last year after cutting costs and accepting state funds. The engagement of the world famous designer has added extra kudos, funds, and now celebrity sway.
There will be 15 shows of La Traviata from 24 May to 30 June. | The woman who took an order for a 'gay cake' in Belfast has told a court she initially accepted it to avoid a "confrontation" in the bakery.

One group more tense than most are those running the banks - because they know more than most that the outcome is life-or-death for their institutions, and therefore for Greek prosperity.
So the latest opinion polls, showing voters split right down the middle, are the stuff of bankers' nervous breakdowns. "It is nerve-wracking," one said to me, perhaps euphemistically.
Here is the ecstasy and agony of what could happen next week.
If Greeks vote "Yes" to the deal with creditors - pension cuts, VAT rises and all - just maybe the European Central Bank (ECB), whose governing council meets on Monday morning, will lift the ceiling a fraction on the provision of Emergency Liquidity Assistance (ELA).
That might not permit banks to start operating as normal with immediate effect. But it could allow the 60-euro daily ceiling on withdrawals to be raised a bit and the total freeze on transfers abroad to be eased somewhat.
And that might allow the Greek economy to be taken out of the deep freeze it has been in since banks were ordered to more-or-less close last Monday.
But if Greeks vote "No", as the government wishes them to do, there would be zero chance of the ECB turning on the ELA tap again.
And as I said a few days ago, a "No" vote might persuade the ECB to demand additional collateral from banks to cover the risk of losses on the 120bn euros in emergency lending it and the Bank of Greece have already provided.
This would be very painful for the banks. Right now they have unencumbered assets sufficient to borrow an additional 17bn to 20bn euros from the Bank of Greece, if the ELA ceiling were lifted.
But if the ECB decided these assets - such as loans to Greek companies - are intrinsically less valuable than it currently thinks, and imposed a bigger so-called haircut on these loans, that 17bn to 20bn of possible additional credit could shrink to zero or a negative number.
Or to put this more clearly, rather than lending to banks, the Bank of Greece and ECB could start to demand some of their outstanding credit back. Which none of the banks are in any position to give.
Greek banks would go from their current frozen state to totally and utterly crippled. Which would dash any chance of them providing the fuel to re-start the Greek economy.
And that would create a vicious cycle of more of the loans they've made to businesses and households going bad. Which in turn would wreak further damage on the banks.
So there is a heavy responsibility both on Greek voters and then the European Central Bank over the next 48 hours. They will decide whether the Greek financial system and Greek economy stands or falls.

A 43-year-old man was driving along the A38M Aston Expressway at about 12:30 GMT when the collision happened.
He suffered life-threatening injuries. The drivers of the other two cars were treated for minor injuries, West Midlands Police said.
The expressway was shut for three hours leading to long delays in to and out of the city centre.

"We are now appealing to anyone who was in the area and saw the collision to come forward.

David Vaughan Jones, 76, of Welshpool, Powys, initially denied charges of theft and fraud at Mold Crown Court.
But on Tuesday, he pleaded guilty to 24 of the 39 charges, which the prosecution accepted.
Judge Niclas Parry deferred sentencing until April 2017, and gave him a chance "to put his money where his mouth is" and repay those who lost their savings.
The jury heard Jones was a founder member of the Evangelical Church in Newtown, and some of the complainants were friends and associates, including contacts from the church.
Jim Davis, prosecuting, said he advised or persuaded people to part with their money by telling them it would be invested in off-shore accounts.
He told them it would generate a higher rate of interest compared to investing in the UK.
But Mr Davis told the court interest payments were either late or not paid at all.
There was also evidence Jones had repaid an investor by using money he received from another, Mr Davis said, and that he also spent money on his own day-to-day living expenses.
The court heard Jones would send letters and emails in the name of his typist, without her knowledge, when people were pressing him to respond - such as "David is away on business at the moment" or "David is ill".
Jeremy Lasker, defending, said it had always been his client's contention the funds could be accessed.
Jones served a document with up-to-date balances and said, given sufficient time, he could repay the money, Mr Lasker told the court.
Judge Parry told him: "You have admitted offences that have had a devastating impact upon the finances of numerous individuals.
"What they seek is re-imbursement of the investments by them, trusting in you.
"I make this absolutely clear - if £1,396,574 is not paid by April 18 next year, the sentence will be a significant sentence of imprisonment."
The gunfire broke out when officers who had been called to the Houston-area home late on Saturday spotted the body of a child and tried to enter.
A man surrendered about an hour later, after talks with police negotiators.
Police said the suspect, David Conley, was later charged with capital murder.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office said the bodies were found after "a welfare check was conducted on the premises" by deputies at about 21:00 local time (02:00 GMT Sunday).
A man inside opened fire when the deputies tried to force their way in.
The dead were identified as Dewayne Jackson, 50, his wife Valerie Jackson, 40, and children Nathaniel, 13, Dewayne, 10, Honesty, 11, Caleb, nine, Trinity, seven, and Jonah, six.
Nathaniel was believed to be the son of Mr Conley, 48, and Valerie Jackson from a previous relationship.
Chief Deputy Tim Cannon of the Harris County Sheriff's Office said: "We... cannot fully comprehend the motivation of an individual that would take the lives of so many innocent people. Especially the lives of the youngest.
"The killer's motives appear to be related to a dispute with Valerie."
Mr Conley is being held in jail without bond.
The officials had previously said the bodies of five children and three adults were found in the house.
Court records showed that Mr Conley's criminal history dated back to at least 1988, the Associated Press reports.
Last month, he was charged with assault of a family member, the news agency says.
The team at Yale School of Medicine, in the US, showed diet could change the structure of mice brains.
They argue this could explain why the children of obese parents are more likely to become grossly overweight.
Experts said the study had merit, but brain changes in humans were unproven.
Obesity can run in families and shared eating habits are a major factor.
However, there is evidence that diet during pregnancy can also influence a child's future waistline, such as through changes to DNA.
The latest foray into the field, published in the journal Cell, shows the structure of the brain itself may be changed.
The experiments on mice showed that mothers on a high-fat diet had pups with an altered hypothalamus, a part of the brain important for regulating metabolism.
These mouse pups were more likely to become overweight and develop type 2 diabetes than the pups of mothers given a normal diet.
One of the researchers, Prof Tamas Horvath, from Yale, told the BBC: "It could be a signal to the pup that it can grow bigger as the environment is plentiful in food.
"We definitely believe these are fundamental biological processes also affecting humans and influencing how children may eventually become obese.
"It seems, at least, that this could have a major impact and we need to explore it further in both animal and human studies."
He says a healthy diet during pregnancy may help to break the cycle of obese parents having obese children.
Commenting on the findings, Dr Graham Burdge, from the University of Southampton, told the BBC: "Twenty years of research shows nutrition in early life has lasting effects on cardiovascular disease, obesity, osteoporosis and some cancers. It's extremely well established.
"This is an intriguing technical advance showing neurological circuits are being changed, which hasn't been shown before."
He said the "concept fits in well with the data" but pointed out there were key differences in the way mice and people process fat, so the same might not be happening in pregnant women.
He added: "Much of what we know about the process comes from animals. The next big thing is to establish the same mechanisms operate in humans and if we can modify that."
For now he advises parents to "have a healthy balanced diet and ensure the diet of your child is balanced as well".
The summit will try to rethink global strategy but divisions among members have immediately been laid bare.
While some countries favour decriminalisation, others still punish drug-taking with the death penalty.
Leading figures sent an open letter to UN chief Ban Ki-moon before the meeting calling for a more liberal approach.
Among the signatories were several former presidents, US politicians and businesspeople, who argued that prohibition has done more harm than good.
The three-day special session was requested by Colombia, Mexico and Guatemala who have seen spiralling drugs violence.
Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto warned that harsh penalties "create a vicious cycle of marginalisation and crime".
Several delegates called for the death penalty to be abolished for drugs crimes.
But Indonesia, one of the countries where capital punishment takes place for such offences, said it was a matter on which individual states should decide for themselves.
A document adopted at the session calls for "proportionate" sentencing but does not refer to the death penalty.
While no major decisions are expected at the summit, activists hope it will be an important step towards reform.
The 32-year-old man told officials he hoped to get 30,000 Bangladeshi taka (£261; $384) for his service.
A 100g (0.22lb) gold chain has also been seized. The gold is reportedly worth 3m taka (£26,000; $38,400).
Airports in Bangladesh are widely used by gold smugglers and detentions are common.
The man has confessed to smuggling but no further information has been released.
Most of the gold caught by Bangladeshi authorities are believed to be destined to India, one of the world's top importers of the metal.

A deal between the clubs was agreed on Monday and is subject to a medical and visa being secured.
The former Germany captain, 32, has signed a one-year contract, according to the Chicago Tribune newspaper.
"I am sad to leave so many friends at Manchester United," he said. "But I am grateful to the club for allowing me the chance to take up this challenge."
He added: "I have enjoyed working with the manager, players and staff but I have to reserve special thanks to the fans. I will always remember their energy and their passion."
Schweinsteiger, who led Germany to World Cup victory in 2014, had talks with Chicago Fire last year but opted to stay at United beyond the end of the January window.
However, Fire requested the midfielder join them now and, as Schweinsteiger was unlikely to play any significant part at United for the remainder of the season, the Old Trafford club have sanctioned his exit.
Last week, he trained with some junior members of the United squad while the remainder prepared for their Europa League game against FC Rostov.
"In the locker room, he will be a huge example of a champion," Chicago Fire manager Veljko Paunovic told the Tribune.
"He still is somebody that can show that on the field and [demonstrate] how our guys have to work, prepare, behave, think and work together in order to get to that level."
Schweinsteiger, who was signed by the Old Trafford club under former boss Louis van Gaal in July 2015, trained alone or with the Under-23 side at United after Jose Mourinho took over as manager last summer.
He returned to the first-team set-up before a Europa League game against Fenerbahce in November and played his first game for the club this season in an EFL Cup win over West Ham on 30 November.
However, he has made just three further appearances for the club - scoring one goal - with his last outing coming as a substitute against Saint-Etienne in the Europa League on 22 February.

Reports suggest increasing numbers of Buddhist monks are contracting diet-related diseases such as diabetes because of fatty, sugary gifts.
Traditionally monks do not cook and depend on donations given by devotees.
The BBC's Charles Haviland in Colombo says on some occasions monks are given five-course meals.
Although most food given to monks is vegetarian, officials are worried that it is not always healthy, he adds.
"Because of their great affinity towards religious observances, most devotees offer food with high cholesterol content and the Buddhist monks have no choice but to partake of these foods all year round," Health Minister Maithripala Sirisena said, according to the Sri Lankan Daily Mirror.
"The situation is further aggravated because monks do not engage in recreational activities or exercises to shed their excessive weight."
He said the new menu was being drawn up on the instructions of medical experts and nutritionists.
They advise the monks to eat more fruit, vegetables and rice, to drink more water and to cut down on wheat-based foods.
The minister has also instructed health officials to open a ward exclusively for the clergy at all hospitals, the Daily Mirror reported.
However, prominent Buddhist monk Maadulaawe Sobitha dismissed the government initiative.
"For thousands of years, the tradition was for the devotees to offer food for the clergy. It was up to the monks to decide what is appropriate to consume," he told the BBC Sinhala Service.
"We have to be satisfied with whatever is given to us. We are not supposed to demand anything.
"The main problem is that there are many monks in rural areas who have no nourishment at all. They survive on meagre rations of some rice and green leaves. It will be much more useful to initiate a system to ensure that these poor monks have a square meal a day, than just wasting resources for political gain."
The Scarlets outside half returned to Cardiff Arms Park as his new side enjoyed a 26-15 win at Cardiff Blues.
Patchell's sensational break allowed Hadleigh Parkes' to score which sealed a bonus point.
"I'd been here five years, of course it was going to be a little bit different going into the away changing room," Patchell told BBC Radio Wales Sport.
"But once you get over that and get on the pitch, the pitch is the same size as it always is, you get on with the 80 minutes."
Patchell went head-to-head with former Scarlet Steve Shingler, who was involved in a controversial sin-bin incident with his brother Aaron.

Patchell was thrilled to keep up his winning record in the fixture. The Blues did the double over the Scarlets last term and Patchell was determined to ensure he remained on the right side of the scoreline once more.
"It's pleasing, but it's not so much about me coming out on the right side of the result, it's a lot more about us coming out on the right side of the result. It was a big night for us, we needed to win," said Patchell.
"It's pleasing, at the end of the day the boys put in an incredible 80 minute shift."
The bonus point win means Scarlets leapfrog Blues in the Pro12 standings, but Patchell is not getting carried away.
"We'll see at the end of the year how important this game is, certainly for the here and now climbing up the table was a big priority tonight and to come away with maximum points is pleasing," he said.
"Don't get me wrong, it was a good win, but next week now becomes the biggest game of the season, and the weekend after that becomes the biggest game of the season.
"We're happy that we've won, but there's a long way to go this year."
Scarlets' coach Wayne Pivac felt his side were slow start to the season. Losing their opening three matches meant the derby with Blues was already a key contest.
"It was a must win game clearly with us five points off the Blues, what we didn't want to do was sink further back from that top six," Pivac told BBC Radio Wales Sport.
"It was an important game and last year they were the only side to beat us twice and really they embarrassed us at home. That played on our minds and we talked about that in the week."
Nigerian Sambo Davis is married to an Indian woman and lives in Mumbai.
All his documents are valid, but he was arrested by the police recently on suspicion of being a drug dealer.
He and 30 other black Africans were detained for hours before they were let off with an apology.
But the following day, Mr Davis said that he was shocked to read in local newspapers that they were "arrested for drug peddling".
"The police treat us Africans like dogs," he says.
Mr Davis claims he often faces discrimination when he goes to restaurants or when he tries to rent an apartment in gated middle-class communities.
But he is nevertheless one of the lucky ones. He found a decent flat to rent, thanks to his Indian wife.
But his fellow countrymen, he says, still face discrimination: "When they go to rent flats in a normal building they are told - 'you are a black man, you are Nigerian, and you are not wanted'. This is racism."
There is no official data on how many Africans live in Mumbai, but since India's economic progress gathered momentum in recent years, many have come to work in and around the city. Unofficial estimates put their numbers at more than 5,000.
Most of them are engaged in exporting garments to Nigeria and other African countries.
Many others are students, enrolled in the region's prestigious educational institutions.
But there are also hundreds of Africans, mostly Nigerians, who live as illegal immigrants in India. They have either "lost" their passports or their visas have "expired".
Every day, these people play hide-and-seek with the police - if they are caught, they are sent to jail.
Ikeorah Junior from Lagos runs a cafe for Africans in a crowded market on Mumbai's Mohammed Ali Road.
"I don't understand why they [police] have to go from house to house to arrest the people who don't have their papers. If they don't have papers, then deport them, don't put them in jail," he says.
Ahmed Javed, who is in charge of maintaining law and order in the state of Maharashtra, says it is not that simple: "In most cases they have no passports. So, unless their nationalities are determined, they cannot be deported."
Dozens of Africans have taken up residence on Mira Road, a dusty, nondescript town just outside Mumbai.
One "illegal immigrant" there asked me for money, claiming he had not eaten for two days.
He looked worried and told me that he had been approached by drug dealers to work for them.
"I have been here for three years - my visa expired a long time ago. I want to go back home. Please help me, brother," he tells me.
In this neighbourhood, Negro or kaalia (black in Hindi) are the two words indiscriminately used to describe all black people.
"We call them Negro because they are black. They look frightening," says one woman.
"They don't find homes to rent in Mumbai, they only stay in Mira Road. Why? Because of the way they behave. They sell drugs and indulge in other illegal activities. They cannot be trusted," a local man commented, seemingly unaware of the offensive nature of his words.
Against such a backdrop of pronounced prejudice, Sheeba Rani married Sambo Davis four years ago and the couple have two children.
Mrs Davis says her parents are enlightened Christians and they blessed them because they thought the marriage was God's wish.
But, she says, she has been ostracised by many friends, relatives and society since her marriage.
Mrs Davis is "embarrassed and ashamed" by the behaviour of the Indian people towards black Africans.
"When I used to go to a mall or if I walked with him, I always wanted him to hold my hand. But when people saw me with him, they thought I was from a bad family or even a prostitute."
Earlier, she did not understand why black people were being looked down upon, but now she says she does.
"Because our society is obsessed with white skin. If I had married a white man, I would have gained more friends and society's approval too."
Mr Davis believes that the discrimination is solely "because I am a black man".
"It's because I am from Africa, I am a Nigerian. I think Indians see us as inferior."
Yet despite the discrimination they face, nearly all Africans the BBC interviewed said they had a soft spot for their adopted country.
They say the relations between India and Africa are "rock solid". Many argued that Indians and Africans are brothers.
"We look after Indians in our countries. They have become rich there. All we want here is for Indians to understand we are not drug dealers. We are not violent. We are just like them."
Richard Burford, 36, died unexpectedly two weeks ago, leaving behind wife Sara, 34, and their three young children.
An online memorial fund has raised £27,028 which Mrs Burford said will be put away for son William, two, twin daughters Lucy and Kate, aged one.
An inquest has been opened.
The cause of death is unknown.
Mrs Burford told BBC Newcastle her husband, a software engineer, had finished work and put their three children to bed before going for a jog.
He collapsed on a driveway near his home in Guisborough.
She said: "When he didn't come home I knew pretty quickly something was wrong, he always came home at a certain time.
"When the police came they just said there was no easy way to tell you this, and that's it.
"He made us a very strong family, he's left me with a lot of love, he's left me with three beautiful children."
Mrs Burford said she was overwhelmed by the generosity of those who have given to the fund, which was set up by her sister-in-law.
She said: "To say thank you simply isn't enough, the gratitude and love I feel in my heart because so many people have come together to help us has given me so much positivity for the future."
Ashwell, in Hertfordshire, had been divided by residents who said St Mary's quarter-hour chimes kept them awake at night, and others who liked them.
But now its bells are ringing round the clock again thanks to the gadget, and peace has been restored in the village.
The parish council said all parties were "happy that it's doing what it said it would".
Chairman Mark White said he was "so glad it was all over with".
The St Mary's bells have been ringing for more than 100 years, but were silenced while repairs were carried out three years ago.
Following the repairs in June 2012, complaints led to an investigation by North Herts District Council (NHDC), which decided the chimes were "prejudicial to health".
Some residents believed the complainants moved to the village when the bells were silent.
In December 2013, Ashwell Parish Council took the decision to stop them chiming every 15 minutes between 23:00 and 07:00 GMT to avoid being issued with a noise abatement notice, although they could still ring on the hour.
Campaign group Save the Chimes claimed it was not what most of the village wanted and it was given time to develop and raise funds for an alternative solution.
Wayne Francis, of Clockwise Restorations, designed the Chime Volume Reduction Mechanism (CVRM) which, after a six-month trial, both the complainants and the council were happy with.
"The device applies a counter balance to the levers of the clock so that the hammers don't hit the bells so hard," he said.
Mr White said: "All parties wanted it solved and everyone is happy at this moment in time.
"Hopefully it will help other people in other villages with the same problem."
NHDC said it was a "fitting compromise" and the authority had been "happy to support" the community while they "arrived at a local solution".
Councillor Bernard Lovewell said: "We are delighted that a solution has emerged and there was no need to exercise our statutory powers in this instance."
None of the complainants could be reached for comment.
The union Aslef said it had been left with no option than to re-ballot its members after accusing the company of "reneging" on a proposed deal.
A planned strike earlier this month was suspended to allow talks to be held.
Aslef's Mick Whelan said they "moved the goalposts" but Arriva's Gareth Thomas blamed a "misunderstanding".
Mr Whelan said: "After arriving at a deal with Arriva Trains Wales that we were happy to put to our members, the operator has subsequently moved the goal posts by changing the length of the shifts our members are expected to work.
"We had hoped to avoid this action, because we always work hard to find a resolution to problems without strike action, but this is no way to conduct industrial relations in the 21st century and the actions of management have left us with no choice other than to re-ballot our members."
Mr Thomas added: "The locally-elected company council were in full agreement with the terms of the deal. There appears to have been a misunderstanding between the locally-elected representatives with whom the detail of the deal was agreed and Aslef's national executive.
"Once again, we find ourselves in a position that the parts of the union closest to our people were in agreement with the detail of the deal but the national executive of Aslef, who were not involved in any discussions until November 11, seem to be unclear about the details of the deal which we believed to be acceptable to drivers locally."
Ulster Football Championship games, including the provincial decider, will continue to be shown live on BBC NI.
A new provision in the deal also means Ulster SFC matches shown on BBC NI will also be available on the BBC's iPlayer catch-up services on all devices.
This new service will be available from 9am on the Tuesday after games.
BBC Radio Ulster's extensive gaelic games coverage will continue.
This will include live coverage of the Ulster Club Championship and All-Ireland Club Championship games involving Ulster sides, plus live coverage of the National League and the Ulster Football Championship, in addition to All-Ireland Football qualifiers and All-Ireland series games involving Ulster counties.
All Radio Ulster commentaries will also be live streamed via the BBC Sport NI website.
BBC Northern Ireland will continue to provide first class reaction, analysis, previews and match reports across our online services and social media channels, and on our News services.
Peter Johnston, Director BBC Northern Ireland said that the corporation was "delighted to have secured this agreement with the GAA for the next five years".
"We're always looking at ways to enhance our coverage for audiences and the availability of games now on the BBC iPlayer is a great example of this," added the BBC Northern Ireland director.
Shane Glynn, BBC Northern Ireland's managing editor of productions added that the new agreement would give "certainty to our audience about the level of our gaelic games coverage across our platforms for the next five seasons".
"We're grateful to the GAA for their continued support in what is a very complex, international rights market," added Mr Glynn.
GAA president Aogan O Fearghail said that the association was "pleased to extend our long-running relationship with BBC Northern Ireland as part of our efforts to bring our games right across the island".
"Over the course of our partnership they have brought their own unique style to their coverage and we can expect more of the same in the months and years ahead," added the GAA president.

Police are waiting for new equipment from the Home Office before the lower limits can be enforced, a Stormont department has confirmed.
A government committee heard that it could be 12 months before the new breathalysers are approved after "rigorous" testing.
The new laws, passed in April 2016, lower the limits by almost 40%.
Currently, the law allows for up to 35 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath or 80 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood.
The new laws reduce those limits to 22 microgrammes and 50 milligrammes respectively.
These limits are lower than those enforced in England and Wales, but in line with those in Scotland.
The new laws would also introduce a breath-alcohol limit of nine microgrammes for drivers with less than two years experience on the road and some professional drivers.
However, an official from the Department of Infrastructure told MLAs on Stormont's infrastructure committee last Wednesday that obtaining equipment that can test reliably for the lower limits is a "key remaining issue" in implementing the new laws.
"At the moment, the PSNI uses testing equipment that has gone through a rigorous Home Office-type approval process, but it needs new equipment to test reliably at the new lower limits," said Donald Starritt.
"While we know that the Home Office is working to approve the new devices, we cannot, unfortunately, be specific about a timeline for when they will be available for the police to use."
Mr Starritt added that testing the new devices can take six or seven months.
"Realistically, it could be 12 months, but we are looking at ways of accelerating that.
"At the same time, we need to be 100% sure that the equipment and processes we use are defensible and reliable."
A Department of Infrastructure spokesperson confirmed that current breath-testing equipment used by the PSNI was "not suitable for testing at the new lower limits".
"New equipment is therefore needed and this requires 'type approval' from the Home Office," said the spokesperson.
"The home secretary has been contacted in efforts to move this forward and relevant officials continue to liaise with their Home Office counterparts.
"At this stage, however, a date for the introduction of the new arrangements cannot be confirmed."
The executive collapsed over a botched green energy scheme.
"There was no alternative to an election. We went to the DUP before Christmas, Martin McGuinness spoke to Arlene Foster - we asked her privately to step aside so we could facilitate an inquiry.
The DUP hardened up their position over Christmas and tried to dress it up as an attack on unionism and we ran out of road.
If the institutions don't have the peoples' confidence then it can't function. "
"It's been clear for several weeks now that Sinn Féin have been looking to manufacture a crisis and collapse the institutions here.
"We want to see an RHI investigation. Sinn Féin were the ones who frustrated that. They said Arlene Foster had to step aside - she had done nothing wrong, so why would she have?
"When Martin McGuinness went that impediment was gone. They still didn't want a judge-lead inquiry."
erry Carroll says that "this is a once in a lifetime election"
"It was a sad day to see the Institutions, created after many years of hard negotiations, being collapsed by a combination of political opportunism by Sinn Féin and gross incompetence and arrogance by the DUP.'
"This is a once in a lifetime election-a judgement day for all those who have taken the electorate for granted.
"We call on everyone, irrespective of the community that they come from, to punish the big parties for their failure to deliver anything for ordinary people.
People have been urged to help contain the spread of the virus at the Conquest Hospital in Hastings by not visiting friends or relatives in hospital if they have symptoms of the vomiting bug.
Tina Lloyd, assistant director of infection prevention and control, said stringent measures had been brought in.
The affected wards are Newington, Baird and MacDonald.
Ms Lloyd said East Sussex Healthcare NHS trust would prefer that people did not visit the affected wards, but she said if their visit was essential they should restrict the time of the visit and wash hands before and afterwards.
She urged people to follow good hygiene measures.
Last month, the French privacy watchdog, CNIL, ordered the firm to extend people's right to have posts removed from its websites worldwide, including Google.com.
Google said it "respectfully" disagreed with CNIL's authority to make such an order.
The firm now faces possible fines.
A 2014 court ruling allows Europeans to submit applications to Google to remove data from search results that they thought were out of date, irrelevant or inflammatory.
Google is believed to have processed more than one million requests to remove data since the ruling came into effect. It reviews all requests and refuses those it judges have no merit.
However, those that are deleted are removed on its European websites such as Google.de or Google.fr. They are not removed from Google.com.
The company points out that more than 95% of searches in Europe are made on the firm's local websites.
In a blogpost, Google's global privacy counsel Peter Fleischer wrote that the French regulator's request was a "troubling development that risks serious chilling effects on the web".
"While the right to be forgotten may now be the law in Europe, it is not the law globally," he continued.
"As a matter of principle, therefore, we respectfully disagree with the CNIL's assertion of global authority on this issue and we have asked the CNIL to withdraw its formal notice," he added.
The CNIL said it would look into Google's appeal and make a decision in two months on whether to accept it.
"We have taken note of Google's arguments which are mostly of a political nature. The CNIL, on the other hand, has relied on a strictly legal reasoning," a spokeswoman said.
The 32-year-old, who won gold in the 5,000m and 10,000m at London 2012, has made himself available for the British team for the race, on 26 March.
"It will be a good chance to try to claim another world title," said Farah.
Organisers said Farah's appearance was a "major coup" for the event, which hopes to attract 25,000 runners.
British Athletics will name its team on 7 March, with Farah hoping to race at the championships for the first time in his glittering career.
"I know the standard is incredibly high with athletes who really target and train specifically for the event, so I know it will be a hard race," said Farah, the British and European half marathon record holder.
"I always get amazing support whenever I race in the UK and I hope this will help me along the way."
Farah began the Olympic year by competing at the Great Edinburgh Cross Country, where he was beaten by American Garrett Heath over the 8km course.
Organisers of the World Half Marathon have long lobbied Farah to make himself available, and he believes the course in Cardiff will help his ambition to become the first man since Finland's Lasse Viren in 1976 to win successive 5,000m and 10,000m Olympic titles.
"My primary aim for 2016 is the Olympic Games in Rio in August but this race will be a good way to build my endurance before I return to the track in the summer," he said.
"I hear the course in Cardiff is very fast and it may take a personal best to win the race but I'm up for the challenge."
The IAAF Half Marathon Championships are being hosted in Britain for the first time since 2009, and for the first time in Wales.
As well as the world-class athletes who will compete in the elite races over 13.1 miles (21km), the event will also be open to amateur runners of all ages.
"Mo's appearance has always been a key ambition for us and this news will give a huge boost in the final nine weeks of preparation," said Matt Newman, chief executive of race organisers Run 4 Wales.
"The Welsh public will get a rare chance to witness one of athletics' global stars competing around their capital city."
It is the highest Wales have been in the official Test rankings, helped by points earned and lost being double during the tournament.
New Zealand remain top, with Australia in third while Wales' next opponents Fiji, who they play Thursday, are 10th.
Ireland are fourth, England drop to sixth and Scotland climb to ninth.
No athlete admits to weaknesses, especially when they are involved in one of the world's toughest sports, but one professional cycling team has turned chronic illness into a strength.
Phil Southerland, co-founder and CEO of Team Novo Nordisk, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was just seven months old.
Doctors told his parents he would probably be blind or even dead by the age of 25.
He was also warned off sport - but Phil developed a love of riding his bike from a young age and cycling became a big part of his life.
"I realised that exercise was helping me manage my diabetes," he says, now 32.
When he started winning races, he inspired a diabetic friend to take up the sport by showing him how he could manage his blood glucose levels.
He then decided to do the same for others with the condition, but struggled to find anyone else with diabetes to compete alongside him.
"When people are diagnosed, doctors tend to say 'your career is over' or 'you can't do this with diabetes'.
"There's no malice in it, they want their patients to live safely, but for years people believed them and gave up their dreams."
Phil says he wants every doctor to know that people with type 1 diabetes can do anything if it is managed properly.
Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body is unable to produce any insulin, a hormone which helps the body use glucose in the blood to produce energy, which we all need.
Without insulin, glucose builds up in the blood and the body cannot get any fuel. Instead, it tries to get energy from elsewhere, such as stores of fat and protein, which can cause weight loss and other problems.
About 10% of all adults with diabetes have type 1. The condition is treated with daily insulin injections, a healthy diet and regular physical activity.
But for professional cyclists who spend several hours in the saddle during a race such as the Tour of Britain, managing that regime is far from easy.
Mr Southerland explains that the team monitors the riders' blood sugar or glucose levels every 15 minutes in the hours before a race.
They also closely monitor their food intake. After the start, it's up to the riders.
Using a small glucose monitoring system on their body, the riders keep an eye on their glucose levels by checking a receiver in their pocket.
Each rider has a different way of dealing with their diabetes, Phil says, but they all have insulin pens in their pockets which can be used to provide a quick injection of the hormone to reduce glucose in the blood and release energy.
"Some are eating food constantly and don't take any injections, while others give themselves three or four injections during the race."
Leading a life as a professional athlete with type 1 diabetes is not impossible, but it is much more difficult.
Novo Nordisk, the Danish pharmaceutical company behind the team, have been producing insulin in a variety of forms for many years.
Their backing of the team is part of a push to educate and inspire people with diabetes.
With Phil Southerland leading the search for talented cyclists with type 1 diabetes, the team has big plans - to qualify for the Tour de France before the 100th anniversary of the discovery of insulin, in 2021.
In the meantime, the Tour of Britain provides an opportunity to show they can compete with the best.
But there won't be any excuses if they don't.
"What most perceive as our greatest weakness has become a unifying force," Phil says with feeling.
"If you're prepared to learn from your mistakes, you can do anything."
Sean Conway's fourth foray began earlier on Friday and involves sailing from Land's End to John O'Groats along the west coast within 72 hours.
Mr Conway said: "I am not really a sailor and I get really sea sick."
The Cheltenham adventurer finished the third stage of his "ultimate triathlon" - running 1,000 miles from Caithness to the Cornish landmark - in May.
His other adventures have been self-supported, but this time he is being joined by two experienced sailors, skipper Phil Sharp and Alex Alley.
Jersey sailor Mr Sharp is using the challenge as part of his training for next year's round the world solo race, the Vendee Globe.
As the sailing journey is during December, the crew are expecting some rough, stormy seas.
"By the time we get around Skye and into the Hebrides there's a good chance we will get into some horrible headwinds," said Mr Conway.
The vessel is a 40 ft purpose-built race boat but has few home comforts.
"There's no toilet, so it's bucket and chuck it," explained Mr Conway.
"Our cooking facilities are a little stove, barely a bunk bed, so it is pretty rustic."
The crew sailed seven hours from Falmouth to get to the start line at Land's End for 08:55 GMT when the record attempt officially began on Friday.
They hope to arrive at their finishing line by Tuesday morning at the latest.
The Princess of Wales was killed in a car crash in 1997, when he was just 12.
Prince Harry, 31, was speaking as he hosted an event for the mental health charity, Heads Together, which was attended by a number of sports stars.
He told the BBC the event was an opportunity to highlight that anyone can suffer from mental health issues.
Footballer Rio Ferdinand, athletes Dame Kelly Holmes and Iwan Thomas, and cyclist Victoria Pendleton - some of whom have spoken publicly about dealing with depression - were at the event.
Prince Harry formed Heads Together with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to bring together leading mental health charities.
The prince told BBC Breakfast: "It is OK to suffer, but as long as you talk about it. It is not a weakness. Weakness is having a problem and not recognising it and not solving that problem."
He said the event was an opportunity to show that "unflappable" sporting personalities can suffer from mental health problems like everyone else, including members of the Royal Family.
"A lot of people think if you've got a job, if you've got financial security, if you've got a family, you've got a house, all that sort of stuff, everyone seems to think that is all you need and you are absolutely fine to deal with stuff," he said.
Prince Harry made his comments about his mother's death as he talked to Ferdinand, saying: "You know, I really regret not ever talking about it."
Father-of-three Ferdinand - whose wife Rebecca Ellison died from cancer last year - also spoke to the prince about dealing with the death of a parent.
The former England and Manchester United footballer said: "He's gone through different stages in his life that my kids are going to be going towards.
"So to get some of his experiences is very rewarding for me and very educational in many ways."
Prince Harry told the BBC: "It is very easy for someone to look at someone like Rio Ferdinand and say, 'You get paid all the money in the world, you are a successful footballer, you have fast cars.' But at the end of the day his wife was snatched from him at an early stage of his life with her.
"So of course he is going to suffer, it doesn't matter if he has an amazing job."
Former European sprint champion Thomas told the prince how he suffered when his career was cut short by injury.
He said: "I think yes, depression definitely. I didn't have one injury that was suddenly like 'you have to retire tomorrow' that almost might have been easier - being dealt a really bad blow."
And Harry also spoke to Dame Kelly, who told him of the mental issues she fought after suffering injuries before the 2004 Olympics, where she won gold in the 800 metres and 1,500 metres.
She said: "I had depression going through my athletics career, no-one knew at all what I was going through. I was having treatment and they thought I was crying because the treatment was so hard.
"It's really been the last three or four years that I've been more open."

Trevor Joyce, 36, of Franklyn Close, Abingdon, is accused of killing Justin Skrebowski in the town shortly after 11:20 GMT on Monday.
Police said the victim had not been formally identified, but is believed to be the 61-year-old from Oxford.
Mr Joyce appeared at Banbury Magistrates' Court and is due to appear at Oxford Crown Court on Friday.

Curators discovered the jewellery during maintenance work on its collection of enamel kitchenware.
The jewellery had been concealed beneath the mug's fake bottom, which gradually eroded over time.
Many Jews hid valuable items in their luggage when they were deported to Nazi death camps such as Auschwitz.
Some 1.1 million Jews and more than 100,000 other prisoners were murdered between 1940 and 1945 at the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland.
The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum said the jewellery - like other objects accidentally discovered - would be carefully documented and secured, but warned that the likelihood of finding the owners was slim "because there are no traces left on the objects to help identify them".
The mug is one of 12,000 cups, pots, bowls, kettles and jugs held by the museum; items looted by German forces from the luggage of people who arrived at Auschwitz-Birkenau during World War Two.
"It turned out that one of the mugs has a double bottom," said Hanna Kubik of the museum's Memorial Collections. "It was very well hidden; however, due to the passage of time, the materials underwent gradual degradation, and the second bottom separated from the mug."
Inside, they found a woman's ring made of gold and a necklace wrapped in a piece of canvas - and tests have concluded the pieces were made in Poland between 1921 and 1931.
The hiding of valuable objects is repeatedly mentioned in the accounts of survivors of the camps, said museum director Dr Piotr Cywinski.
He said the Nazis "incessantly lied" to the Jewish people being rounded up - saying they were being resettled and could take a small amount luggage.
In this way, the Germans could be "confident" that they would find "the last valuables of the deported families", he added.
The fact that some of these items were hidden "proves on the one hand the awareness of the victims as to the robbery nature of the deportation, but on the other hand it shows that the Jewish families constantly had a ray of hope that these items will be required for their existence".
The woman suddenly accelerated and smashed into the rows of parked cars, police added.
Vehicles were even pushed away from their original positions.
Her car and some others were so badly damaged that they had to be towed away, police said.
The driver was taken to hospital with minor injuries. Her condition was unknown.

The 31-year-old Portugal captain has the chance to win the first international title of his glittering career when his side take on the tournament hosts at Stade de France.
"Everyone in the country will be against him, but he will thrive off that hostility, and off their fear," Ferdinand told BBC Sport.
"The French know Cristiano is the player capable of destroying their dream because he has produced magic moments in huge matches right through his career.
"Part of the reason he is a superstar is because he is not fazed by the big occasion - quite the opposite in fact.
"Superstars like him relish these situations - the pressure that goes with it brings the best out of him, when other players falter."
Ronaldo helped Portugal reach the final when they hosted Euro 2004, but was left crying on the pitch after defeat by Greece, and they have not reached this stage of a major tournament since.
"He was only 19 then, so just a kid," added Ferdinand, who played alongside Ronaldo at Old Trafford between 2003 and 2009 and is working in France as a BBC pundit.
"I remember his reaction but I think he was a bit too young to take it all in. At that age, you expect you will get back to another final soon to rectify what happened but he has had to wait 12 years for his chance.
"I think he is very aware this is his last opportunity to win something with his country and, knowing him like I do, that makes him even more dangerous. He will be so desperate not to miss out again.
"Cristiano has produced great performances for Portugal when it matters before, for example his hat-trick against Sweden in the play-off for the 2014 World Cup.
"So France will know that it is not just in a Real Madrid or Manchester United shirt that he is capable of great things, especially because it was his moment of brilliance that helped decide Portugal's semi-final against Wales."
Ronaldo is now the joint highest scorer in European Championship history with nine goals, and holds the record for most headed goals with five.
Two of them have come in France, most notably when he soared to nod Portugal in front against Wales, but Ferdinand says that part of Ronaldo's game is nothing new.
"He has always been amazing on the ball but even when he first joined United in 2003 he was great in the air too," he said.
"Early in his career it was a part of his game that was quite undervalued but he always scored a lot of headers and, the way he does it, he is the closest thing in football to basketball legend Michael Jordan.
"The way he jumps and hangs in the air is the same as Jordan and he has got the ability to stay up there, assess the situation and then put the ball where he wants to, with power.
"I will always remember the header he scored for United away at Roma in the Champions League quarter-finals in April 2008.
"He more or less jumped on the edge of the box to meet a cross that Paul Scholes put over but he met the ball a good way inside the area. If you watch TV footage of that game, he just appears from nowhere and smashes it into the bottom corner.
"Just like his goal against Wales, it was an unbelievable jump and he generated incredible power. I was on the pitch that night, and it was amazing to see.
"Cristiano's heading ability will be a huge threat in the final too, along with Nani - another former United team-mate of mine.
"France have struggled to defend crosses for most of the tournament and, although they were better at it in the semi-final, Germany did not have anyone to aim at in the box."
Eighty-six players at Euro 2016 have completed more dribbles than the three Ronaldo has managed in six matches.
"He was always well known for his brilliant runs forward but his game is not about that any more," said Ferdinand, who was in the same United team as Ronaldo when he scored 42 goals in the 2007-08 season.
"Before, he used to exert a lot of energy trying to take people on from deep areas, running at goal from 30 or 40 yards, or even further out.
"Now, he is very clever in where he tries to receive the ball. It has to be in good positions and, when he gets it, he finds a yard of space and hits it - either a shot or a cross.
"Part of the reason he has been able to reinvent himself is because of how hard he works - right from the start of his career, when we were together at Old Trafford, he was totally committed to improving every part of his game.
"But to be able to re-evaluate his game and change it is also down to his football intelligence.
"Clearly he is clever - you do not score 50 goals a season, six seasons running, for Real Madrid if you are not.
"But his extra intelligence has allowed him to evolve as a player, understand his body, where it can take him and how often.
"He has become a much more efficient player, but is still an extremely effective one."
Sunday offers Ronaldo the opportunity for personal glory too, with the chance to get one over Lionel Messi in the battle to be viewed as the best player in the world.
Messi has never won a major tournament for Argentina and announced his international retirement last month after they lost to Chile in the final of the Copa America.
"If Ronaldo wins the European Championship, it will be massive for him," said Ferdinand, 37.
"I don't think it will give him the edge over Messi in terms of who deserves the accolade of the best in the world, but it is a huge achievement.
"And it will matter to both of them, because there is a definite battle between them in their own minds about who has done what for club and country.
"It is far from a given that Ronaldo will manage it, of course. France are looking very good and they have a game-changer in Antoine Griezmann.
"Even if Ronaldo is at his best, it is a difficult ask for them and I think they are going to have to play ugly, like they have done all the way through the tournament, to win.
"I have known him a long time and I would love to see him do it, but it is awkward for me because I have friends in both camps - Nani and Cristiano for Portugal, and Paul Pogba and Patrice Evra for France.
"So I am not really bothered about the result, I just want to see a good game. I would love to see Ronaldo and Griezmann perform to their potential and finish off this tournament on a high note."
The teams meet at Twickenham on Saturday in a "cup final" which the New Zealander says will effectively decide the 2016 Six Nations.
An injury-hit Wales team shocked the hosts 28-25 in a Pool A match in September.
"It was a great performance to get out of that group, but we feel we're in much better shape now," said Gatland.
"There's a lot of confidence in the team and we're treating Saturday as a final.
"It's going to be one heck of a game, and to be honest whoever wins on Saturday probably wins the Six Nations."
Both teams are unbeaten going into Saturday's match, with England boasting a 100% record under new coach Eddie Jones in pursuit of their first Grand Slam since 2003.
Wales have beaten Scotland and France after drawing 16-16 with Ireland in their opening game.
Gatland has named an starting XV unchanged from the one that began the 19-10 win over France.
But there are three changes among the replacements as scrum-half Rhys Webb returns to the squad for the first time since September.
Lock Luke Charteris is also on the bench after missing the win over France, while prop Paul James replaces injured loose-head Gethin Jenkins.
Wales' starting XV shows only four changes from the team that won at Twickenham in the World Cup.
On that day, Hallam Amos and Scott Williams were among the backs, while Gethin Jenkins and Tomas Francis were the starting props.
But Wales have fewer injuries to contend with now, and have a much stronger bench.
"We feel like there's a lot of strength in depth, especially with the two locks - and the two young props have continued to get better and better," said Gatland.
"Samson Lee was coming back from injury at the World Cup so we feel he and Rob Evans have done really well.
"Scott Baldwin is getting better and better so, up front, we feel confident and settled.
"And in the backs, we have [centre] Jonathan Davies back with that experience as well and I'm pleased to see [wing] Alex Cuthbert is getting a little bit of his mojo back."
Gatland believes England are "very similar" to the side Wales played in the World Cup but concedes new coach Eddie Jones has "added an edge" to their play.
"The two wings have changed over and the six and seven have changed over, but apart from that it's pretty much the same team that was on show at the World Cup," added Gatland.
"They're a good side. I don't think they are too far away from cracking it.
"They've got a lot of strength in depth and young players who are improving the longer they are in the side." | Everyone in Athens is nervous about the outcome of Sunday's referendum on the creditors' proffered (and semi-retracted) bailout terms.

Speaking at a news conference during a visit to Paris, Mr Trump said "most people" would have taken the meeting.
Emails show the president's son and two top campaign officials met the Russian attorney during the campaign.
A Senate panel is asking Donald Trump Jr to publicly testify about the meeting.
Chuck Grassley, the Republican chairman of the judiciary committee, said he would issue a subpoena, compelling the president's son to testify, if necessary.
Several congressional committees and a special counsel are investigating alleged Russian efforts to influence last November's US election and whether Trump aides colluded.
Flanked by French President Emmanuel Macron, President Trump said on Thursday: "From a practical standpoint, most people would have taken that meeting.
"It's called opposition research or even research into your opponent."
Mr Trump twice referred to his son, who at 39 is the same age as Mr Macron as "a young man".
"My son is a wonderful young man. He took a meeting with a Russian lawyer, not a government lawyer but a Russian lawyer," Mr Trump said, in response to the first question he was asked by journalists at the news conference.
"I've had many people call up 'Oh, gee, we have information on this factor or this person, or frankly, Hillary - that's very standard in politics.
"Politics is not the nicest business in the world, but it's very standard, where they have information and you take the information," he said, blaming the press for inflating the significance of the story.
"Nothing happened from the meeting. Zero happened," Mr Trump insisted.
Mr Trump Jr was joined by the president's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and then-campaign manager Paul Manafort, in meeting Natalia Veselnitskaya at New York's Trump Tower on 9 June 2016, as Donald Trump Snr closed in on the Republican nomination.
The lawyer, who US media report has ties to the Kremlin, was said to be offering damaging information to provide to the Trump campaign regarding Hillary Clinton.
The documents "would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father", according to the email sent to the president's son by British music promoter, Rob Goldstone.
Mr Goldstone's email added: "This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government's support for Mr Trump."
"If it's what you say, I love it," the president's son responded.
Ms Veselnitskaya denies having ever worked for the Russian government. Donald Trump Jr told Fox News the meeting was "such a nothing" and described it as a waste of time.
During the event in Paris, Mr Trump also blamed members of the Obama administration for allowing Ms Veselnitskaya to be admitted into the United States.
Also on Thursday, a spokesman for US Vice-President Mike Pence said his boss "had no meetings with any individual associated with the Russian government during the campaign or transition" into the White House.
The denial comes after a Fox News interview on Wednesday in which Mr Pence's spokesman ducked a question three times on whether Mr Pence had attended any such meetings.
A Pentagon spokesperson said the trucks were hit in a single air strike near the IS-held town of Albu Kamal, according to AFP news agency.
The coalition has targeted fuel trucks before, but a coalition official said this was the most they had hit at once.
Black market trade in oil is one of IS' most important sources of funding.
It is believed to make about $500m (£329m) a year from the oil industry in territory under its control.
The trucks were parked in a loading area, being filled or about to depart, when they were hit, the coalition spokesman told AFP.
The coalition began air strikes on IS-held oil infrastructure last year, and last month the US vowed to be "more aggressive" in targeting IS oil.
The Pentagon spokesperson said Sunday's attack "was part of that strategy to start degrading their financial ability".
It came at a point in 2015 when officials knew they needed to stop the Renewable Heat Incentive draining cash.
The Ulster Farmers' Union requested a "grace period" on cuts as members were awaiting planning consent for poultry sheds to be heated under RHI.
The UFU defended the emails, which were sent to the enterprise department.
The aim of RHI was to increase the creation of heat from renewable sources, but businesses received more in subsidies than they paid for fuel, and the scheme became heavily oversubscribed.
The fallout from the scandal, which is approximately £490m over budget, resulted in the collapse of Stormont's institutions and the calling of snap elections on 2 March.
In July 2015 officials in the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment (Deti) were sent an email by Tom Forgrave, a member of the UFU's poultry committee, who also represents suppliers to Moy Park.
He said some farmers had bank loans of up to £1m for expansions which were still subject to planning approval.
He said businesses could be in jeopardy if planning consent came after a change in tariffs.
He suggested that rather than changing the tariffs on 1 October 2015, as indicated by Deti, this should wait until 1 January 2016.
But the official wrote back: "I'm not buying this."
Mr Forgrave then got the backing of the UFU's senior policy officer, Christopher Osborne, who also emailed Deti calling for a grace period.
A different official responded: "The potential for a grace period is a difficult one given that we are currently over budget and this position needs to be addressed urgently.
"That said we are of course understanding of people who have already made commitments and we will do what we can to assist those in this position so that they are not disadvantaged."
The former Deti minister Jonathan Bell has previously said he wanted to cut tariffs on 1 October 2015, but interference by DUP special advisors delayed this until November 17.
In a statement on behalf of itself and Mr Forgrave, the UFU said it dealt only with civil servants.
"We did not meet politicians or their special advisors to discuss our concerns," said the statement.
The statement said it would have been "unfair" to change tariffs before some farmers had completed planned installations.
A spokesperson for Moy Park said Mr Forgrave was a member of a group which only represents the interests of farmers and was separate from the company.
Wozniacki served for the match in the third set and led 4-1 in the deciding tie-break but Williams battled back.
The world number one will face Simona Halep in the final after the Romanian beat Agnieszka Radwanska 6-2 6-2.
That racquet will never do me wrong again, I tell you
"Caroline played a great match, it was really difficult today. I feel so bad," said the 33-year-old American.
"She's the only one undefeated (after the group stages) in this tournament and she deserved to win."
Wozniacki admitted: "This really sucks. You know, being so close and still losing, it really sucks."
Williams had earlier smashed her racquet in frustration as the first set slipped away, but two breaks of serve brought the reigning champion level in the second set.
The third set was an epic affair, lasting longer than the first two combined, but after grabbing a break at 4-4, Wozniacki was unable to serve out the contest.
She saved a match point in her final service game and the Dane again looked on course for only her second win in 11 meetings with her good friend when she moved 4-1 clear in the tie-break.
Williams would not be denied, however, reeling off five straight points and finally sealing victory on her fourth match point after two hours and 13 minutes.
"I don't know how many times I hit it, but boy, that racquet will never do me wrong again, I tell you," Williams said of her angry outburst in the first set.
"It was definitely legendary. I kind of lost my cool a little bit. I thought, well, at least you know I'm passionate. I give 200%.
"When I play, doesn't matter how I feel, I'm going to give everything I have for every shot and every point."
Williams will face a rematch against Halep on Sunday, four days after against the Romanian in the group stage.
"I'm excited. My goal is to win three games. That'll be my first goal. I'm going to go from there," joked Williams.
"Hopefully I can hold serve. That would be good. Most of all, I hope to break once."
Halep broke Radwanska's serve five times and hit 26 clean winners as she swept past the Pole to reach the final on her first appearance at the WTA season finale.
Humphrey Mubita farms near the Kafue National Park.
Kafue is often said to be the green jewel of Zambia, being its oldest and biggest protected area covering over 22,000 sq km.
When the national park system in Zambia was set up, the authorities decided to designate buffer zones around them, areas in which people live and farm, but also areas in which the animals from the park move freely.
This has had tragic consequences for Humphrey.
"My daughter was going to the clinic in Chunga, on the way she met this elephant. There were five people, but the other four knew where to hide. My daughter was a visitor to the area so she didn't know how to divert…"
Humphrey's daughter was 29 years old and left three children behind. Her case is not an isolated one. Humphrey knows of two other people who have been killed by elephants in the past three years.
The main complaint that Humphrey and others in his area have about the elephants is the lack of compensation from the government - The destruction of crops or people is just a "loss to be borne", as another villager said.
"If an animal kills a person, then that family is not compensated," said Humphrey.
"They are protecting the animals over people. It is not fair."
Kelvin Kapesa is a hardworking farmer with a smallholding that runs up to the edge of the Zambezi river, near the village of Mugarameno. This area is in the buffer zone of the Lower Zambezi National Park.
Okra is Kelvin's main crop, and he lives and works with one eye on the horizon. Elephants are very active at this time of the year because they have stripped all the foliage from the trees deep in the national park.
"Sometimes in a week they come three times. If they don't have enough food in the bush they come anytime. I have no break!" he complains.
To cope with the problem, Kelvin now sleeps on a wooden platform about five metres high, with a range of instruments to scare them away.
"At night, people used to beat drums and use flashlights. I used to whistle but now I have a vuvuzela to scare them away,"
However the impact can be limited.
"New elephants run away but the old one, he doesn't run."
Kelvin says that he has a simple message for the people meeting at Cites in Johannesburg. Money for fencing!
"If they can come up with electric fences around our fields that would be good, that plan is good," he says.
"If we can fence the fields, and can protect our homes from the elephants - we can be friends."
A tarmac road is all that separates Namukulo Munalula Hayumbu from the Kafue National Park.
Her 50-hectare farm is located in the buffer zone or Game Management Area (GMA) just across from the park. She is one of the 33,000 people who now live in the GMA.
Conflicts with endangered species such as elephants and lions are part of the way of life. People are angry about the constant feeling that animals matter more to the government than the people who are impacted by them.
She understands why the "courageous ones go across the road at night to hammer one or two for the pot," but poaching is not the solution she says.
Mrs Hayumbu has a detailed plan.
"The government is not doing much, we need fencing of the park and also to allow farmers to fence their fields," she says.
"We need an insurance scheme and we in the GMA should contribute to this so in case of loss of life or loss of crop we should be compensated."
But with a rapidly growing population and a government with many other priorities, ending the human-wildlife conflicts in Kafue may take a while.
"We should co-exist, we appeal to the government to come up with policies which would allow us to co-exist," Mrs Hayumbu adds.
Ian Stevenson rushes off to a small airstrip near the Zambezi river, eager to take to the air.
The plane is just one part of the logistical support role that his organisation, Conservation Lower Zambezi (CLZ), provides to the government-run park rangers.
As well as the plane, CLZ helps with communications with rangers in the field, provides equipment and is training a dog team to intercept shipments of ivory.
But despite these significant efforts to aid the park ranger in the fight against poaching, Ian and his colleagues don't always feel the love of the local population.
"You can go into the community and see someone who's had his crops wiped out last night and they will say they see no benefits, and they have no interest in having elephants here," he says.
"It's very mixed. I do think people understand that without this wildlife they would not have the same opportunities as they do with it, that's very hard to tell someone who lost their crops last night. But there's no magic fix."
The CLZ efforts are focused on short-term fixes such as supporting the rangers, but the longer term is also key, and that's about education and ensuring that communities see and feel the benefits of conservation.
But the pressures of poaching mean that there may not be a long term. Right now support organisations like CLZ are having to spend millions of dollars in a race with organised criminal gangs intent on hunting down the elephants.
Ian says that curbing demand for ivory on a global scale needs to happen. And fast.
"I hope we can keep it up, if the resources can be sustained, you may get donor fatigue," he admits.
"The only thing that will really work in the end is changing the whole mentality of a culture around the world."

Jimmy Fraser was begging on George Street when he was asked for directions by Annis Lindkvist and her sister Emma.
They struck up a friendship during their trip and swapped numbers before flying home to Sagmyra.
Mr Fraser told the BBC Scotland news website: "The next thing I knew I was on a plane to Sweden."
The 54-year-old said Mrs Lindkvist got him a passport and paid for his flights so he could spend a week over Christmas with her family.
Mr Fraser moved to Edinburgh 13 years ago after divorce left him homeless. He now lives in a flat.
He said the trip had been like a dream.
The former security guard and father-of-two, who is originally from Lanark, said: "It's weird, I know. I was begging on George Street and these two women came up to me and the next thing I knew I was in Sweden.
"People promise you things all the time on the street but they never materialise and friends said I shouldn't go in case I was hung, drawn and quartered when I got there.
"But I thought I'm going to go for it as its once-in-a- lifetime.
"On the plane I was so nervous and was worrying if they would be there waiting for me or if I would be shot.
"Instead it was a beautiful experience, the family was tremendous."
He added: "Annis is such a wonderful, kind and generous person and I wish everyone was like her.
"Being homeless is cold, lonely and depressing and you get a lot of abuse from people.
"This was an incredible act of kindness and I loved meeting Annis' friends, family and colleagues. I wish I was there now."
Mr Fraser flew out on 21 December and returned on 27 December. During the trip he was taken to an ice hockey match, Christmas markets, midnight mass and to meet all Mrs Lindkvist's family, friends and colleagues.
Mrs Lindkvist lives in the Swedish town of Sagmyra with her husband Daniel and three children, aged 13, eight and five.
The 37-year-old, who works in a retirement home for people with dementia, said she has been calling Mr Fraser every day since he returned to the capital.
She said: "I have never felt like this before for a homeless person. My mother was crying and crying when he left and my children have been asking every day when he is going to come back.
"There is a big place in my heart for him.
"I had had my doubts about it but I sat up late one night when he was here and spoke to him about it. I could have been a killer just like he could have been but I just had a feeling in my stomach that he was a really nice person.
"We give money to charity every month but we have never done anything like this before.
"There were friends and family who thought I was really crazy but I just opened my home to him and said everything that is ours was his too."
Mrs Lindkvist said she had invited Mr Fraser back for Easter and described him as "part of the family now".
The pictures could be copied and altered by paedophiles or simply prove embarrassing to the children in later life, Hagen Police said, in a message on their own Facebook page.
Parents were advised to ensure that privacy settings allowed only their Facebook friends to view the photos.
The advice has been shared nearly 200,000 times.
A police officer and spokesman for Hagen Police told the BBC that the response to the post had been "amazing" and that they estimated it had been viewed by more than 12 million people.
"We want to tell all users that it is important to be careful with everything they do on the internet," said Hanki Ulrich.
"It's better to think twice - the internet never forgets."
Mr Hanki added that the post had not been inspired by any recent criminal cases or paedophile activity in Hagen.
Child protection charity the NSPCC said in a statement: "All parents should feel free to enjoy taking photos of their children and sharing them with friends and family. However, we should all be careful when posting photos online.
"We know that sex offenders are able to doctor innocent family photos of children, and developments in photo editing software have made this easier.
"So if parents do publish photos of their children online, they should take care to ensure that they have checked their privacy settings and are happy about who can see and share them."
The statement added that if parents were worried a photograph of their child had fallen into the wrong hands, they should contact the Internet Watch Foundation, the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (Ceop) or NSPCC helpline on 0808 800 5000.
A man has been arrested on suspicion of arson in connection with the fires.
Patients were "dragged outside" Royal Stoke University Hospital when fire broke out in the main building at about 18:00 BST on Wednesday.
An hour earlier, there was a blaze in toilets at Staffordshire University.
On Thursday, Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service said the hospital fire was started deliberately, with Staffordshire Police later saying it was linking that incident to the university fire.

A force spokesperson said a 39-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life.
Disrupted hospital patients were returned to wards by 23:15 BST on Wednesday, according to University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust which runs the site.
The A&E unit reopened on Thursday.
Deputy chief fire officer Rob Berber said: "The fact that this fire was deemed to be deliberate is very concerning and we are working closely with Staffordshire Police to aid in their investigation into this incident."
He said one man was treated for smoke inhalation at the scene.
No one was injured, police said, in the university fire which happened at about 16:45 BST on Wednesday in the Beacon building on College Road, Stoke-on-Trent.
The hospital trust said people should continue to attend outpatient appointments unless contacted directly.
On Wednesday, eyewitness Paul Bradbury, who had gone to the hospital to visit his mother, said people were "dragged outside in their beds and on mattresses" and "it was quite surreal to see".
Operator Ineos had announced on Wednesday that the plant was to shut, with the loss of 800 jobs, after union members rejected a survival plan.
But the decision was reversed after the union agreed to Ineos's conditions.
Ineos founder and chairman Jim Ratcliffe said it was "a victory for common sense".
He confirmed Ineos would now press ahead with plans to invest £300m in a new gas terminal at the site, following a "significant change in attitude" from the Unite union.
He added: "We have had assurances from the union yesterday that the changes we have requested in order for us to invest in that facility have been agreed and we are delighted to announce that Grangemouth will restart today, both the refining and petrochemicals side."
The announcement on Grangemouth's future was greeted by huge cheers from the workforce, who had gathered at the plant to be told the news.
The move brings to an end a bitter dispute with the Unite union which began over the alleged mistreatment of a Unite official and escalated to the threat of strike action.
This was dropped but Ineos shut down the plant and issued an offer of revised terms and conditions in a survival plan, which was initially rejected by union members.
Unite has been accused of mishandling the negotiations, but the General Secretary of the Scottish TUC, Graham Smith said Unite officials were always prepared to be flexible but were hamstrung by the management's refusal to be reasonable.
"I think they've been placed in a very difficult position by an employer who in my experience very uniquely walked away from its responsibilities that it had with the trade union, tried to impose its will on the workforce with a take it or leave it ultimatum," Mr Smith said.
Reacting to the announcement, Unite Scottish secretary Pat Rafferty said: "Relief will ring right round the Grangemouth community, and across Scotland today.
"Hundreds of jobs that would have been lost can now be saved and £300m will be invested into the plant."
The main points of the Ineos announcement included:
First Minister Alex Salmond described the development as a "tremendous fillip for the workforce and the whole Grangemouth community, following what could have been a potential disaster".
He said it had been "a great team effort from all concerned", including the unions and workforce, the management and governments.
"I am delighted that people have rallied round to protect these jobs, and now we can all agree that Grangemouth has an outstanding future," he added.
Scottish Secretary Alistair Carmichael also welcomed the announcement, saying that it was "the news that we all wanted".
"The staff and their families have been through a very stressful and uncertain time," he added.
The announcement came as BP said it had reached an agreement with Ineos which would ensure that oil and gas supplies from the Forties Pipeline System would be secured.
The pipeline - which brings oil and gas ashore from more than 50 North Sea fields - as well as BP's processing plant at Kinneil depend on steam and power from Grangemouth.
BP said "some key commercial terms" had been adjusted in an existing deal with Ineos, but did not elaborate.
It added: "By doing this, we have ensured that over a third of the North Sea's total oil and gas supplies will be unaffected, and that our motorist and airline customers will enjoy supply security."
Ineos' future plans at Grangemouth include investing £300m in a new gas terminal at the site.
Grangemouth chairman Calum MacLean said: "It is a huge investment and that investment was only rightly to be done if we had a long-term sustainable base.
"What we have now done is given the chemicals business another 15 to 20 years on the back of new raw materials, new contracts and significant investment."
Mr MacLean would not dismiss the prospect of redundancies, but said they would be "very limited".
The company has also said that 2,000 contractors it laid off after shutting down the complex would be re-hired to support investment in its survival plan.
According to Ineos, the Scottish government has indicated it would support its application for a £9m grant to help finance its gas terminal plans, while the UK government has given "pre-qualification approval" for a £125m loan guarantee facility.
Falkirk Council, which had planned to set up a task force to respond to the threatened closure, said the Ineos announcement was "the best possible outcome for all concerned".
Council leader Craig Martin added: "There has been a tremendous effort behind the scenes to secure the plant's future involving UK and Scottish governments and Falkirk Council, working together to ensure the plant's survival.
"This partnership approach has paid off and a more stable and positive future for the workforce has been delivered."
The claims come from the Reuters news agency, which has seen an anonymous email sent to top management setting out the charges.
It follows accusations of corruption in its non-prescription business in Syria, as well as bribery claims in China.
GSK said it would thoroughly investigate the claims.
The email, addressed to chief executive Andrew Witty and Judy Lewent, the chair of GSK's audit committee, says: "GSK has been engaging in multiple corrupt and illegal practices in conducting its pharmaceutical business in Syria."
The company has suspended relations with its distributors in the war-torn country while it investigates.
It is one of the few major pharmaceutical companies still supplying drugs there.
The new claims follows a rash of similar bribery claims against GSK in China, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Poland.
"All the claims in this email will be thoroughly investigated using internal and external resources as part of our ongoing investigation into operations in Syria," said a spokesman for the company, which is the UK's biggest drugmaker.
"We are committed to taking any disciplinary actions resulting from the findings. We have suspended our relationship with our distributors in the country pending the outcome of our investigation."
The alleged sums involved are small, according to Reuters, running into thousands of dollars rather than the hundreds of millions GSK is alleged to have funnelled to doctors and officials in China.
The email gives names and dates of alleged illicit payments, including those of one Syrian doctor who personally received between $200 and $300 a month in free samples in exchange for ordering GSK drugs for his hospital and rejecting rival ones.
It also accuses the company of bribing officials at Syria's Ministry of Health to obtain vaccines for illegal resale.
The US Department of Justice is already investigating GSK for possible breaches of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the UK's Serious Fraud Office has launched a formal criminal investigation into its overseas activities.
The 21-year-old from Newport was approaching the end of a two-year suspension imposed in 2014 for steroid use when he was a Wigan academy player.
He was tested again in February 2016 and produced a positive result for the anabolic steroid nandrolone.
Pugsley, capped by Wales in 2012, had been offered a deal by Whitehaven.
"Rhys has single-handedly destroyed that promising career as a result of this second violation," UK Anti-Doping chief executive Nicole Sapstead said in a statement.
"All athletes serving a sanction remain subject to testing throughout the course of their suspension, to mitigate the risk of them returning to sport and continuing to dope.
"Rhys' conscious choice to continue to take performance-enhancing substances, whilst he was already serving a ban, has rightly been met with a further tough sanction.
"We take this type of violation with the utmost seriousness and our message is clear - there is no place in sport for those who consciously dope."
Pugsley was due to start playing for Whitehaven once his ban expired, but is now banned from all sport until March 2024.
Aaron Heremaia's fourth-minute try was the only time the visitors were ahead and Hull led by six points at the break thanks to Kelly and Mahe Fonua.
Danny Houghton, Jamie Shaul and Kelly's second try of the night saw the hosts move up to second in the table.
Lloyd White ran in a late consolation for Widnes but they have now lost four of their opening five matches.
Hull move level on points with leaders Castleford who travel to Salford on Sunday.
The visitors went in front when Heremaia threw a dummy to open up the Hull defence and go over, while White added the extras.
But Hull hit straight back as a Marc Sneyd's cross-field kick was caught by Fonua, who set up Kelly to score.
Fonua dived in for his first try of the season following a pass by Kelly as the home side led 14-6 at the break.
Hull scored two tries in three minutes when Houghton pounced on Sneyd's kick-through, before Mark Minichiello's break down the left freed Shaul to go over.
Sneyd added the extras on both occasions to go with the six points he scored in the first half.
Two minutes later, Minichiello was held up but Kelly powered over after a smart dummy and Sneyd put over the conversion.
White converted his own try with eight minutes remaining, but it was too little too late for winless Widnes.
Hull coach Lee Radford:
"First and foremost I'm pleased with the result. How we started the second half went a long way towards dictating the scoreline.
"I'm pleased with the way we went about our business. There was some fluency in what we did, which I said would come.
"It sets us up nicely for the fixture next week. Wigan at Wigan is a tough fixture and it's one we're looking forward to."
Widnes coach Denis Betts:
"We keep giving sides 18 points by rolling over in patches in the game. We are making it easy for sides.
"We were up against a side running pretty hot with threats from all over the field, but I felt we handled them well for big patches of the game.
"We went toe to toe with them in the first half, which shows we're not far off but then we hit a patch and look like a side that looks like it doesn't know what it's doing."
Hull: Shaul, Fonua, Tuimavave, Griffin, Michaels, Kelly, Sneyd, Taylor, Houghton, Bowden, Manu, Minichiello, Thompson.
Replacements: Connor, Ellis, Green, Washbrook.
Widnes: Thompson, Marsh, Bridge, Armstrong, Runciman, Heremaia, Craven, J. Chapelhow, White, Buchanan, Houston, Whitley, Cahill.
Replacements: T. Chapelhow, Leuluai, Olbison, Johnstone.
Referee: Chris Campbell (RFL).
He was given a one-match ban for being shown two yellow cards and a further four for pushing the referee in the back after he had been sent off.
The bookings at the Nou Camp were for taking off his shirt to celebrate his goal to make it 2-1 and for a dive.
He will miss Wednesday's second leg.
Ronaldo, 32, will have 10 days to appeal.
The Portugal international will be able to play in the Champions League but will not return to domestic action until 20 September against Real Betis.
Madrid had already signalled their intent to appeal against Ronaldo's second yellow card shown for diving eight minutes from time when he went down inside the area under pressure from Samuel Umtiti.
"Ronaldo's sending-off annoys me because even if it is not a penalty, the card is harsh," said Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane after the game. "We will see if we can do something so that he is available on Wednesday."
Ronaldo was only on the field for 24 minutes as he was introduced as a second-half substitute and fired into the top corner 10 minutes from time to give Madrid a 2-1 lead.
It was Ronaldo's 10th red card of his career and the two yellow cards on Sunday came within two minutes.
"Once shown the red card, said player (Ronaldo) pushed me lightly as a sign of his disapproval," the referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea wrote in his post-match report.
Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher
The message they've got to send out is it's unacceptable to push a match official.
If I'm walking down the high street in my town I can't go pushing a policeman.
There is nothing to excuse what Ronaldo did.
We cannot accept this at any cost.
Patrick Delaney, of Twin Oaks Caravan Park, near Braintree in Essex, admitted religiously aggravated harassment of four Orthodox Jews - including a 13-year-old boy - on 6 January 2016.
Wood Green Crown Court heard Delaney, 19, was intoxicated on nitrous oxide following a relationship break-up.
He was jailed for six months for the attack in Tottenham Hale retail park.
One victim told the court she was forced to take shelter in a nearby supermarket with her teenage son as Delaney, who was with two other men in a van, repeatedly yelled "Hitler" at her.
Nobody was injured by the thrown gas canisters.
Passing sentence, Judge John Dodd QC told the defendant his actions were unacceptable in "any civilised society".
His sentencing comes as new figures showed anti-Semitic hate incidents reached record levels in the UK.
The Metropolitan Police said the 33-year-old had also been charged with the rape, attempted murder and kidnap of a woman in her 20s.
Another man, 28, has been charged with the kidnap of both women.
The teenager's body was found at an address in Coombe Lane West, in Kingston Upon Thames, on Wednesday night, three hours after she had been reported missing, police said.
The second woman had earlier been treated for stab or slash wounds at a south London hospital.
Police had visited the women's addresses in Sutton and Merton following a concerned call about their safety at about 17:00 BST on Wednesday.
The teenager's name has not yet been released, but her next of kin have been informed.
A post-mortem examination revealed the cause of death was a neck wound.
The two men, who have not been named by police, will appear at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court on Monday.
The former prime minister said Thursday's EU reform talks should not be regarded as "High Noon".
And they "should not decide whether or not we remain inside the European Union", he told BBC Radio 4's Today.
In Parliament, Mr Cameron said he had a "great record on Europe" and would get "the best deal" for the British people.
Speaking during Prime Minister's Questions, Mr Cameron - who has refused to rule out campaigning for an exit if the EU does not agree to his reform demands - said he had won concessions before from the EU and his approach to the referendum was to "get a good deal and trust the British people".
Sir John, whose seven years in Number 10 were dominated by internal Conservative Party rows over Britain's future in Europe, said he was not a "starry-eyed European" and he could understand "frustrations" with the EU, which were "entirely justified".
He also said he could not "get inside" David Cameron's mind - and was anxious not to become a "backseat driver" to the prime minister.
But he said "flirting with leaving at a time when the whole world is coming together is very dangerous and against our national interests".
He said the UK should not "break off" and head into "splendid isolation".
Analysis, by BBC Deputy Political Editor James Landale
Sir John Major rations his public utterances. So when the former prime minister gives an interview, he tends to have something to say and people tend to listen. And his remarks on the Today programme were clearly directed at David Cameron.
Sir John was effectively warning the prime minister not to base his campaign for Britain to stay in the EU entirely on the reformed relationship he is hoping to negotiate this week.
"This renegotiation is important," he said, "but it shouldn't decide whether or not we remain inside the European Union." Instead, Sir John implied that Downing Street should be doing more to make the broader case for staying in.
He said that "flirting with leaving is dangerous", heading off into "splendid isolation wouldn't be in our interests", there would be "acrimonious negotiations with an irate ex-partner", it would not save much money, nor better control our borders but it would lead to a "fractured" UK because of the "high probability" of Scotland voting for independence.
So Sir John's implicit message to Mr Cameron - as he prepares for some tough negotiations in Brussels - is that he must start making the wider case for EU membership if he wants to win the forthcoming referendum.
He said there would be a "high probability" Scotland would have another independence referendum and the UK's international standing would also suffer.
The UK would not be better able to control immigration, nor would it make the UK Parliament more sovereign because to trade with the EU "we would have to accept its regulations," added Sir John.
"If we leave the EU it won't be a friendly departure, it will be very acrimonious," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
He said he could understand why Mr Cameron had decided to hold a referendum on remaining in the EU to end the "long-running and tiresome" row about the issue - but he predicted that the British people vote to stay in.
Mr Cameron will join other EU leaders in Brussels on Thursday for substantial talks on the UK's demands for reform.
A deal could pave the way for the government to announce when it will hold an in/out referendum on Britain's membership, which Mr Cameron has promised will be held by 2018.
Leave.EU - one of the groups campaigning for Britain to exit the bloc - said Mr Cameron should "stay and home and put his feet up" because "he isn't asking for anything that people actually want".
"His grandstanding around ending migrants accessing benefits will do nothing to reduce the number of people wanting to come here," said Brian Monteith, the group's head of press.
European Commission President Donald Tusk has said Thursday's talks should "pave the way" for an agreement by the next gathering of EU leaders in February.
Mr Tusk said the discussions should focus on the "most controversial" elements of Mr Cameron's reform demands, which are likely to centre on his calls for a four-year wait before EU migrants can receive working-age benefits.
"The stakes are so high that we cannot escape a serious debate with no taboos," Mr Tusk said.
Mr Cameron is reported to have warned in private that he will lead the EU exit campaign if he does not get what he wants from other EU leaders. His public comments have been more measured, with the PM repeatedly saying he "rules nothing out".
Speaking at PMQs, he said: "What I will be doing is getting the best deal for Britain, that is what we should be doing. This government was the first to cut the EU Budget, it was the first to veto a treaty, the first to bring back substantial powers to Britain."
Also speaking on Wednesday, UKIP leader Nigel Farage described the renegotiation as a "charade" which would result in only "minor and inconsequential" changes, and said those campaigning for the UK to leave the EU had "momentum on their side".
Q&A: What Britain wants from Europe

BBC News EU referendum special report
Worker output per hour in the UK fell 1.2% during the last three months of 2015 compared with the previous quarter, according to data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
Output per hour in manufacturing fell by 2% from the previous quarter, while in the service sector it dropped 0.7%.
Poor rates of productivity in the UK have been a concern to policymakers.
In last month's Budget, the Office for Budget Responsibility cut its growth forecasts for the UK economy after it lowered its predictions for productivity.
The fall in productivity in the fourth quarter of the year followed a 0.6% rise in the third quarter.
Over 2015 as a whole, output per hour rose by 1%, which the ONS said was the strongest increase since 2011.
The ONS said that labour productivity overall - covering output per hour, output per worker and output per job - was about 0.5% higher in the fourth quarter of 2015 than in the same period a year earlier.
"How productivity develops going forward is critical to the economy's growth potential," according to Howard Archer, an economist at IHS Global Insight.
"The crucial question for the UK economy is, does the fourth quarter of 2015 mark a temporary relapse in productivity. Or is it evidence that the UK has an ongoing serious productivity problem."
Suren Thiru, head of economics at the British Chambers of Commerce, said: "There are deep-rooted structural problems in our economy that have dampened productivity - from skills shortages, to infrastructure bottlenecks and limited growth finance.
"Delivering solutions to these critical issues would go a long way to achieving the productivity gains we need."

Wanderers came from a goal down to beat Fleetwood 2-1 on Saturday and maintain their perfect start to the season.
Bolton were relegated from the Championship last term, but have won their first four League One games under new manager Parkinson.
"I thought it was our biggest test on Saturday," said Parkinson.
He told BBC Radio Manchester: "There was an edginess around the place. You could feel that, and that's understandable given what's happened in the past.
"The most important thing I'm pleased with is the character. You can have good players, but they've got to play when the pressure's on.
"I felt there was a little bit of pressure on us and we responded very well."
Daniel Bartlam had denied murder but admitted the manslaughter of his mother, Jacqueline Bartlam, following a row at their Nottinghamshire home.
Nottingham Crown Court was told she had been beaten seven times with a claw hammer, fracturing her face and skull.
A soap opera murder plot and violent TV clips were found on Daniel's computer.
Reporting restrictions preventing identification of the teenager were lifted by the court following his sentencing.
Mrs Bartlam, 47, was discovered by fire crews at her home in Georgia Drive, Redhill, Nottinghamshire, in the early hours of 25 April 2011.
After being beaten, her body was then padded with paper, covered in petrol and set on fire, the court heard.
Daniel, who was 14 at the time of the killing, told police an intruder had killed his mother but detectives found a written "soap opera plot" on his computer in which he fantasised about his character carrying out a killing.
The court heard he had been particularly interested in a Coronation Street storyline involving the character John Stape.
In the soap, Stape had murdered a woman with a hammer and then left her body in the wreckage of a tram crash.
It was also revealed Daniel had been watching violent horror films since he was eight and had viewed the film Saw hours before killing his mother.
The teenager claimed he had been provoked into violence when his mother called him "a freak" during their argument.
He was found guilty of murder at Nottingham Crown Court on 9 February.
The jury heard authorities raised concerns about the boy's behaviour in the months before the attack.
He told a counsellor voices were telling him to hurt people and that he had had visions of killing people, the court was told.
However, several experts had concluded Daniel was not mentally ill and did not pose a risk.
Judge Julian Flaux described the killing as "grotesque" and "senseless" and said it seemed like the teenager wanted to "get away with the perfect murder".
Det Ch Insp Kate Meynell, who led the murder inquiry, said after sentencing: "The level of violence, degree of planning and extent of his lies is not only shocking, but it is also chilling that a boy of 14 could do this.
"You can only imagine the impact that this has had on Jacqueline's family, and having spent time with them throughout the investigation and subsequent legal proceedings, I know this is going to be very difficult, if not impossible, for them to come to terms with.
"This murder has devastated everyone involved. There is only one person who knows why it happened, and Daniel has lied consistently throughout, making attempts to besmirch Jacqueline's character.
"Everyone who knew her knew she lived for her children and was a warm, loving mother.
"Maybe one day Daniel will tell the truth, as there are several gaps that only he can fill."
A statement issued on behalf of the family said: "We find it so hard to explain what we are going through.
"There are no winners here because not only have we lost Jacqui, but we have lost Daniel too because of what he's done.
"We know it was the right result at court, but trying to understand how a boy you have loved for 14 years can do something like this is so difficult.
"To find out that Daniel planned to kill his own mother and then hear all the details, it is all so hard to believe.
"The most difficult part for us and something that only Daniel can answer is 'why?'"
The Stags struck in each half as they leapfrogged their opponents in the table and are now breathing down the necks of seventh-placed Portsmouth after an accomplished display at The Hive.
Whiteman came within a whisker of opening the scoring for Mansfield when his low shot across goal struck the inside of the post and somehow did not roll in.
Jake Kean bravely beat John Akinde to the ball to head a long punt clear before the goalkeeper made a good save with his legs to deny Barnet's Jamal Campbell-Ryce.
The Stags then took the lead on 36 minutes when Whiteman produced a clean finish from the edge of the area from Shaq Coulthirst's lay-off.
The visitors were then awarded a penalty just before the hour mark when Ricardo Santos tripped Coulthirst, who calmly stroked his effort down the middle to give his side an unassailable lead.

It happened during officer safety training on Saturday.
Police Scotland said there appeared to have been a "malfunction" with a set of handcuffs and fire service personnel were called in.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said boltcutters were used to free the officer.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Officer safety training is a vital skill for police officers and involves training with handcuffs and other equipment.
"On this occasion there appears to have been a malfunction with a set of handcuffs which our colleagues at the fire service were fortunately able to assist with.
"This type of situation is thankfully rare but as has been demonstrated procedures are in place to deal with such an occurrence."
A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: "On Saturday, firefighters attended at Mounthooly Way where they used boltcutters to free a police officer from a set of handcuffs that had malfunctioned."
No-one was injured.
They are a quirk of ocean currents - a naturally created vortex known as a gyre - where floating rubbish tends to accumulate.
The largest is in the North Pacific and covers an area twice the size of France. Others have since been discovered in the North Atlantic and most recently the South Atlantic.
Scientists now fear the same process is probably taking place in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean.
As well as damaging coasts and killing marine life who mistake the plastic for food, contaminants in the water, which attach to the plastic debris, are transporting waste chemicals across the world's oceans.
At the UK's University of Sheffield, scientists are investigating how they could accelerate the speed at which the plastic breaks down by looking at micro-organisms already found in the sea that naturally feed on plastic.
Promising results have already been seen in finding out which microbes are attaching themselves to plastic in coastal waters around the UK.
The next stage will be to analyse how these enzymes work in the natural environment and how they might work in controlled environments where plastic would be the prominent carbon source.
But the researchers emphasise that even if they can narrow down the microbes and encourage their proliferation in an area like the plastic waste patch just found in the South Atlantic, this would be a very slow process.
"It's a bit like imagining how long it would take us to eat something the size of Canary Wharf," says the university's Dr Mark Osborn.
"If you have hundreds of thousands or millions of organisms colonising one piece of plastic then you can imagine the potential for scale up in terms of the rates of potential degradation."
Biological intervention to restore the ocean environment, otherwise known as bioremediation, is a relatively new field and would require careful assessment of any potential consequences.
And most current work is based on stopping plastic getting into the oceans in the first place.
In Ireland at a plastic fuel plant, Cynar, scientists are using waste plastic to make a synthetic fuel in a process known as plastic pyrolysis.
Plastic waste that would otherwise have ended up in landfill, is cleaned, dried and then heated to more than 300C (570F) in the absence of air.
The resulting molten liquid is turned into a gas which is then fractioned off to produce a diesel-like fuel.
"We do believe this is a terrific solution to a massive issue of landfill diversion as well as fossil fuel alternative," says Cynar's chief executive, Michael Murray.
Pyrolysis has the potential to be set up at waste disposal sites across Europe, with the fuel produced being used to power the waste disposal trucks and machinery.
But it costs money to establish the plants and burn the plastic, and this is only partly recovered by the cost of the fuel generated.
Much of the solution lies in more recycling says Murray, pointing out that only 50% of the 25m tonnes of plastic waste the EU produces every year is recycled.
The challenge is to prevent it reaching landfill in the first place.
Our plastic lifestyle is at the heart of the problem according to Richard Thompson, professor of marine biology at the University of Plymouth.
Varying colours of plastic and different components such as sports caps which are made of different plastic types, make them harder to recycle compared to clear and strong plastic.
Despite campaigns to improve recycling, many plastics - such as food packaging packaging - are still not recyclable.
"The diversity of different polymers and different forms of packaging we use... is compromising the recyclability of the product," Professor Thompson explains.
"The best way to solve this problem is to close the loop, to turn a bottle back into a bottle," he says.
Eighty percent of the plastic in our seas has come from the land where it has either been flushed through drains or blown off landfill sites.
Until there is an effective alternative to dumping, the floating plastic in our oceans will continue to accumulate.

Two men died at Camber Sands, East Sussex in July, followed by five young friends a month later in August.
Following a five-day inquest in Hastings, coroner Alan Craze ruled their deaths were through misadventure.
Afterwards, the families of the five men said they believed lifeguards could have saved their lives.
They said all five were competent swimmers but had been "blamed for their own deaths".
The RNLI had precommended employing lifeguards previously.
Recording his conclusions, Mr Craze said: "The RNLI had recommended, amongst other measures, deploying lifeguards at the beach in 2013 but this had not happened.
"Of course, it is not known whether such a step would have prevented the deaths, but it has now been implemented."
Q&A: What happened at Camber Sands?
Mr Craze said he would be sending off a prevention of future deaths letter with official figures highlighting his concerns, including those over the control of risk assessments.
The inquest had heard that there was no legal requirement for Rother District Council to follow through with recommendations contained in risk assessments by the RNLI.
Consultant forensic pathologist Dr Brett Lockyer recorded a cause of death of immersion [drowning] for all five victims who died last August.
Rother District Council offered its condolences to the families and said it did not "want anyone else to have to suffer the tragedy of losing a loved one in these circumstances".
It said it had made improvements "year on year" at Camber in response to the risks identified.

Kenugen Saththiyanathan, 18, known as Ken, died alongside his brother Kobikanthan Saththiyanathan, 22, known as Kobi, both from Erith, south-east London.
Their three friends who also died were Nitharsan Ravi, 22, from Plumstead, Inthushan Sriskantharasa, 23, from Grays, Essex and Gurushanth Srithavarajah, 27, from Welling.
Two other people had also died there a month earlier.
On 24 July, Mohit Dupar, 36, from Hayes, west London, attempted to reach Brazilian Gustavo Silva Da Cruz, 19, after he got into difficulty.
Mr Silva Da Cruz died at the scene. Mr Dupar died in hospital four days later.
The inquest heard the five men were all fit, healthy and competent swimmers but were unaware of "hidden dangers".
Oceanographer Dr Simon Boxall believed they got into trouble after heading out to a sandbar to play ball a significant distance out at sea, and then got into trouble amid a fast, incoming tide as they tried to head back to shore.
He told the inquest there was insufficient wave activity to build up rip currents at the beach, but there would have been strong currents that would have had a significant impact even on a strong swimmer.
Nine deaths occurred at Camber in the four years from 2012, including the seven last summer.
There were no lifeguards on the beach prior to the seven deaths.
Instead, the area was manned by beach patrol staff whose tasks included reuniting lost children with their parents and dealing with lost property.
The inquest was told that in 2013 the RNLI had offered to deploy lifeguards following a risk assessment after the death of Tanzeela Ajmal, 31, a year earlier, and a number of near misses.
Beach-goer Thatchayiny Segar drowned at Camber in 2015.
The RNLI also offered to provide lifeguards at Camber in 2009.
Arumukam Saththiyanathan, the father of Ken and Kobi, said in a statement to the inquest that they had "good swimming ability" and their Sri Lankan village was surrounded by three big rivers.
He said his sons swam in Sri Lanka almost every weekend before they came to the UK in July 2008.
"As a family, we went to the beaches in the UK nearly every summer and the boys went without us sometimes," he said.
One of the fathers said it had been claimed the group were of Asian origin and not able to swim.
Relatives also said they were disappointed Rother District Council had not taken up recommendations by the RNLI in 2009 and 2013 to provide lifeguards.
They called for resignations at the authority, and said civil action had not been ruled out.
In a statement, Dr Anthony Leonard, the Rother council's executive director of business operations, said: "Our sympathies remain with the families, friends and communities of the seven people who tragically lost their lives last year.
He said the deaths were different to the two previous incidents, which had involved non-swimmers paddling in shallow water, wearing non-swimming attire.
"Following an urgent review of the fatalities in 2016, we asked the RNLI to provide a full lifeguard service at Camber to give visitors reassurance and minimise the risks further.
"This service is now in place and our beach patrol works closely with the RNLI to deal with land-based incidents and educate visitors of the dangers of the sea.
"All measures put in place at Camber are kept under constant review."
Rahim Mohammadi, 40, of Goldsmith Row, east London, appeared at the Old Bailey via video link over the death of Lea Adri-Soejoko in February.
She had been strangled with a ligature and her body was found in Colindale, north-west London, at the allotment where she was secretary.
Mr Mohammadi was remanded in custody ahead of his trial in July.
Mr Yunus's appearance will focus on his Grameen Bank and work on micro-credit, which has helped millions of people lift themselves out of poverty.
The Nobel laureate's voice has already been recorded for the episode, which will air in October.
The Simpsons regularly attracts big-name guests such as Elton John, Stephen Hawking and Tony Blair.
Yeardley Smith, who voices the character of Lisa Simpson, has already spent a week in the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka studying the Grameen Bank.
She is a long-time admirer of Mr Yunus and has visited Grameen micro-credit programmes in Haiti and elsewhere.
Mr Yunus and his Grameen Bank were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for pioneering the concept of micro-credit - lending small amounts to the poor to help them start up businesses to get out of poverty.
He started it in 1976 by lending $27 (£17) to a group of families in a village.
Grameen is now a billion-dollar micro-credit venture with more than eight million borrowers in Bangladesh alone.
Lord Justice Leveson said the press had "wreaked havoc in the lives of innocent people" for many decades.
But the report's recommendations have divided the coalition government.
David Cameron said he had "serious concerns" over statutory regulation but Nick Clegg said he supported some form of legal underpinning.
And Labour leader Ed Miliband urged the government to accept the report in its entirety.
Speaking in the Commons, Mr Cameron said he broadly welcomed Lord Justice Leveson's principles to change the current system.
But he said: "We should be wary of any legislation that has the potential to infringe free speech and the free press.
"The danger is that this would create a vehicle for politicians whether today or some time in the future to impose regulation and obligations on the press."

How new regulator might work
Deputy Leader Nick Clegg said changing the law was the only way to ensure "the new regulator isn't just independent for a few months or years, but is independent for good".
Mr Miliband described the report as "measured, reasonable and proportionate" and said Labour "unequivocally" endorsed its conclusions.
After the first of cross-party talks, a senior Labour source said Mr Cameron had agreed to ask the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to draft a bill to implement Lord Justice Leveson's recommendations.
The source added Labour would push for a Commons vote on implementing the recommendation in principle by the end of January.
The Hacked Off campaign, which represents victims of phone hacking said Mr Cameron's "failure" to accept the full recommendations of the report was "unfortunate and regrettable".
Founder Brian Cathcart said: "Despite their years of abuses and outrageous conduct, it seems that the prime minister still trusts the editors and proprietors to behave themselves. It seems that the prime minister wants self-regulation all over again."
Madeleine McCann's mother Kate said she hoped the report would "mark the start of a new era" for the press, in which it treated those in the news "with care and consideration".
By Nick RobinsonPolitical editor
The prime minister knows he has given his opponents yet another stick to beat him with. He also knows, however, that the press are firmly on his side.
Bob Satchwell, executive director of the Society of Editors said he hoped any British politician would hesitate before doing anything that "might in the slightest way threaten the freedom of the media".
"What happens 20 years down the line if you have a different government, which was upset by the press again, once you've given away the principle and put a law in place, it's very easy to amend."
Mr Cameron set up the Leveson Inquiry in July 2011 after it emerged journalists working for the Sunday tabloid the News of the World had hacked the mobile phone of murdered Surrey schoolgirl Milly Dowler. The paper was subsequently shut down by its owners News International.
Among Lord Justice Leveson's findings:
In his 2,000-page report, Appeal Court judge Lord Justice Leveson said his proposals will protect the rights of victims and people bringing complaints.
He said the press had failed to properly regulate itself in the past, but he believed the law could be used to "validate" a new body.
By Clive ColemanBBC News legal correspondent
The statute proposed by Lord Justice Leveson is intended to do three things: Enshrine freedom of the press for the first time; recognise the new regulator; and ensure it can be can be audited to confirm it is performing to proper standards.
It also provides incentives to publishers to sign up. Incentives are needed because no serving newspaper editor can serve on the new body. The proposals amount to the press being allowed to set up its own regulator, but not sit on it.
Principally the incentives involve setting up an arbitration service to settle disputes with members of the public over privacy and libel. If a publisher isn't part of that service and has to go to court, it could be deprived of very considerable legal costs, even if it won. And if it lost, it could be made to pay additional, exemplary damages.
These proposals on arbitration represent a very large carrot and stick and that, says Lord Justice Leveson, needs legislation. But in addition, there's a shotgun in the cupboard. The broadcast regulator Ofcom could act as a backstop regulator for those publishers not persuaded by the Leveson carrot and stick.
He said: "There have been too many times when, chasing the story, parts of the press have acted as if its own code, which it wrote, simply did not exist.
"This has caused real hardship, and on occasion, wreaked havoc with the lives of innocent people whose rights and liberties have been disdained.
"This is not just the famous but ordinary members of the public, caught up in events (many of them truly tragic) far larger than they could cope with but made much, much worse by press behaviour that, at times, can only be described as outrageous."
Lord Justice Leveson said putting "a policeman in every newsroom is no sort of answer," because legal powers were limited to allow the press to act in the public interest.
However, the press is "still the industry marking its own homework", and needs an independent self-regulatory body to promote high standards, he added.
The Metropolitan Police said it accepted the criticisms made against it in the report.
Commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe said he had already taken "decisive action" on the issues raised and his priority was now ensuring phone-hacking victims got justice.
The chairman of the Press Complaints Commission, Lord Hunt, said the press had to seize the baton and make sure it "doesn't let Lord Justice Leveson down".
Belgian cyclist Demoitie died after a collision with a motorbike during Belgium's Gent-Wevelgem race.
The 25-year-old was hit by the motorbike after several riders came down in a crash as the race passed through northern France.
"The main issues come when cars or motorbikes have to pass the peloton and pass riders," Team Sky's Rowe said.
"That is the fundamental issue we're looking into.
"There's a lot of motorbikes in and around the race whether it be cameras for TV, photographers or police motorbikes.
"In total there's around 50 motorbikes that work on each race.
"We've got a riders union and we're coming together to think of a few ideas, whether we cap a speed limit on how fast they can overtake us.
"Say we put a 10 kilometres per hour limit on it, if we're going 50kph they're only allowed to pass us 60kph or something like that."
Demoitie, who was riding for the Wanty-Gobert team, was taken to hospital in Lille but died later.
The sport's governing body, the UCI, said it would co-operate with all relevant authorities in an investigation into the incident.
The Professional Cyclists' Association (CPA) issued a statement asking what would be done to improve safety.
Despite Demoitie's death, attitudes to road racing will stay the same says Rowe, who has been competing in Three Days of De Panne race in Belgium.
"As soon as that element of fear slips into your mind and you start thinking of things that could happen, that's when you're doomed to fail," he told BBC Wales Sport.
"If you start thinking about crashes and the consequences and what could potentially happen then you're never going to be at the front of the peloton and you're never going to win any races."

Hospitals are on the lookout for further cases and are putting in place measures to help control any further spread of the fungus, Candida auris.
Public Health England says in some cases patients will have no symptoms, but the infection can cause serious bloodstream and wound infections.
So far, no UK patient has died from it.
The first UK case emerged in 2013. Since then, infection rates have been going up - although it remains rare.
Candida auris is proving hard to stop because it has developed some resistance to the drug doctors normally use against it.
As of July, 20 separate NHS trusts and independent hospitals in the UK had detected Candida auris.
More than 35 other hospitals have had patients known to be colonised with Candida auris transferred to them.
Three hospitals have seen large outbreaks that have been difficult to control, despite intensive infection prevention and control measures.
These outbreaks have now been declared over, however, Public Health England says.
Dr Colin Brown, from Public Health England's national infection service, said most of the UK cases had been detected by screening, rather than investigations for patients with symptoms. But 27 patients have developed bloodstream infections.
"Our enhanced surveillance shows a low risk to patients in healthcare settings. Most cases detected have not shown symptoms or developed an infection as a result of the fungus.
"NHS hospitals that have experienced outbreaks of Candida auris have not found it to be the cause of death in any patients."
He said PHE had updated its infection-control guidance for hospitals and nursing homes on managing outbreaks of Candida auris, together with a leaflet for patients who may have the fungal infection.
What is Candida auris?
It belongs to a family of fungi or yeasts that live on the skin and inside the human body.
A more common "cousin" in this family is Candida albicans, which causes the yeast infection thrush.
Candida auris was first identified in 2009 in a patient from Japan.
Hospital outbreaks have since been reported in the United States, India, Pakistan, Venezuela, Colombia, Israel, Oman, South Africa and Spain, as well as the UK.
Some people can carry the infection without having any symptoms or being unwell.
Patients in hospital who catch it may become sick, although infections are still usually minor.
Candida auris can cause more serious bloodstream and wound infections, however.
Nursing staff can take swabs from different parts of a patient's body to check if Candida auris is present.
That is still being investigated, but experts think it is spread by contact from person to person, on people's hands, clothing or on bits of medical equipment.
Contamination is quick - several hospitals have reported it takes as little as four hours from initial exposure.
Spread can be limited by good hygiene - keeping hands clean by frequent hand washing and using alcohol gel.
If a patient in hospital is found to be infected, their visitors may be asked to wear a gown, plastic aprons and gloves.
Antifungal medicines can treat the infection, despite the strain of Candida auris in the UK having some resistance to some of these drugs.
A biosafety Investigation Unit at Porton Down, the government's military research base, is testing a variety of disinfectants and antiseptics to see if they can kill the infection.
The 29-year-old had only signed a new five-year deal in May 2016, but has now extended that by a further season.
Forster joined Southampton from Celtic in 2014 and has made 103 appearances for the club, including playing in every Premier League game last season.
He made his England debut in November 2013, in a friendly against Chile, and has gone on to win six caps.
The RMT union said the latest strikes would begin next month.
It said it had no alternative but to take action over what it called Southern's "blatant disregard for the safety and security of passengers and staff alike".
Southern's parent company said the RMT's action was "shameful".
Five sets of strike dates have been announced by the RMT:
The dates include the night of Lewes bonfire celebrations when tens of thousands of people travel to the East Sussex town, many by train.
Months of industrial action by the RMT and high levels of staff sickness have hit Southern's services, which link London with Surrey, Sussex, Kent and Hampshire.
The operator cut 341 trains out of 2,242 from its timetable on 11 July, but has since reintroduced some services.
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said his members were taking industrial action in a bid to maintain a safe and secure service.
"Govia Thameslink and the government have made it clear that they have no interest in resolving this dispute," he said.
"Instead they have begun the process of bulldozing through the drive towards wholesale driver only operation without agreement.
"Last week there was a train derailment near Watford that involved two trains.
"The guards on both trains played a vital role in protecting the passengers and the trains in what were extremely frightening circumstances."
The RMT wants Southern and its parent company Govia Thameslink (GTR) to agree a similar deal over guards to one reached with Scotrail last week.
GTR said targeting Lewes bonfire night celebrations was a "cynical ploy" and a "comprehensive and fair offer" had been on the table for weeks.
"The union leadership's claims about jobs, pay, safety are trumped-up make believe," said passenger services director Angie Doll.
"This scaremongering by the RMT is a contrived attempt to gain public support when it knows its spurious arguments about jobs, pay, accessibility and safety have been demolished by independent experts and analysis and are falling on deaf ears."
Rail Minister Paul Maynard said it was unacceptable that passengers' lives would again be disrupted with "unjustified" strikes.
"The travelling public must not be treated with such disdain by unions, and I urge the RMT to call this action off," he said.
The usual team of window cleaners at a Canadian hospital were replaced by a gang of superheroes, delighting the young patients inside.
Spiderman, Batman, Iron Man, Superman, Thor and GI Joe assembled earlier this week at the Kingston General Hospital in Ontario for three hours of cheering window cleaning. The hospital's photographer was on hand to capture the reaction on the wards and the pictures have been shared widely on social media.
Luke Carter, aged seven, was in hospital serious injuries from a quad bike crash when the superheroes arrived. He was moved from critical care to the other side of the hospital so he could see them.
"He was really excited by the distraction" says his mother Bailly, 32. "Someone gave him a gift of a Batman toy and he was holding it up to Batman."
"The superheroes were there for a good 20 minutes. They were drawing smiley faces in the soap and giving the kids thumbs up through the glass."
Luke said the day had been "awesome".
Chris Stoness, 33 headed up the team of superhero window cleaners.
"This was the first time in 10 years of window cleaning I've done something like this."
"Everybody picked a Superhero who was the best fit for their personality. Though as the boss I got Batman as it was the warmest costume - it was 36C outside - and no one wanted to be Batman"
Chris described the effect the stunt had both on the children and himself, "some of those kids were very sick and frail but hey were laughing and waving. It was a unique personal experience to help them escape."
"I wasn't prepared for how much of an impact it would have on the kids - to see a sick child in a full body cast forget that they are in a full body cast for a second is pretty great."
Marcia McFarlane, 42, the supervisor on the children's ward had the idea of doing it at the hospital. She said: "The giggles and laughs you heard from the hall made the whole day worth it. "
"We were ecstatic with the impact it had not just here but all over the world. Children admitted to hospital feel vulnerable and powerless. This made them feel powerful."
Katie Stewart, 62, a Child Life specialist on the ward has worked there for 15 years, said there was an added benefit to the idea.
"It was a really hot day and the window cleaners must have been sweltering but they really took their time with the kids. They took much longer than normal so the windows are now super clean."
The company trotted out two "competing" devices, a Sonos Play 3 speaker ($299) and an Amazon Echo ($180), to receive something of an audio beating at the hands of the HomePod ($349). But this should be no means be considered an independent test. Apple controlled all aspects of it, including the settings on the competing devices.
Even so, Apple made a point of touting the device's spacial awareness.
If you put it in the corner of the room, a spokeswoman said, it would quickly recalibrate itself in order to fill the room with sound. Put one in the middle of the room and it'll play sound out in all directions. But stick it in the corner and it will aim its output away from the wall. Pair two of the devices together, and they'll act as stereo speakers.
In the highly-controlled environment, it delivered as promised . Tougher will be how it deals with homes full of objects that make the task harder.
But while Apple's device can claim, in this test at least, to sound the best - that may not be enough to make the product a success.
Homepod hobble
Siri is built in to the device, and though an integration with Apple Music you can ask it requests such as "play Sia". Annoyingly, and one thing that will be frustrating to many, that integration will I'm told only work with Apple Music.
If Spotify is your preferred music service for example, you can't use voice commands. Instead you'll need to resort to treating the HomePod like a bluetooth speaker.
What may hobble Apple's HomePod won't be the noise it makes, but its less impressive listening skills. Siri is in third place behind Google Home and Amazon's Alexa when it come to offering intuitive, natural digital assistant.
But Siri will only improve, and Apple's decision to sell this as a music device makes perfect sense. If I think about my own habits with Alexa and Google Home - and I've been trying them both for months now - I'd say a good 90% of use is for music. The assistant side of things just isn't useful enough at the moment.
So should Amazon and Google be worried by Apple's new gadget? Not yet. There's more than enough room for all of them, and besides, the real casualty in this race will be the likes of Sonos and Bose. Now simply sounding great is no longer enough.

Results from 30,000 users of the English Dialects app have been analysed by developers at Cambridge University.
People from 4,000 locations answered questions about the pronunciation of words such as "scone".
Initial results showed more people now speak with accents similar to those in London and the south-east of England.
More news from Cambridgeshire
They were compared with dialects studied more than 50 years ago by researchers at the University of Leeds in a decade-long field study of accents, called the Survey of English Dialects.
The app, developed with researchers in Zurich and Bern, asked questions about the pronunciation of 26 words and how they described certain nouns, such as a splinter.
During the 1950s there were about 10 commonly-used words to describe a tiny piece of wood that gets stuck under the skin, including "spell" and "sliver".
But according to app users, many appear to have died out, with only those in north-east England sticking to their own version - "spelk".
Other examples looked at how people pronounce the "u" in "butter" and the "r" in "arm".
Results showed there had been a "noticeable" shift since the 1950s towards pronunciations more commonly found in London and the south-east of the country.
"When it comes to language change in England, our results confirm that there is a clear pattern of levelling towards the English of the south-east," said Dr Adrian Leemann, a linguistics researcher at Cambridge University.
"More and more people are using and pronouncing words in the way that people from London and the south-east do."
Researchers concluded "regional differences" were disappearing, "some quite quickly", although people in the north-east of England seemed to be "more resistant to the patterns of overall levelling in dialect".
It put the shift in speech patterns down to "greater geographic mobility" in the decades since the 1950s survey.
Further results from the app will continue to be analysed.
The total of £39m spent was up on the £34.4m spent in 2010 - but was still down on the record £42m spent in 2005.
The Lib Dems spent £3.5m, the UK Independence Party £2.8m, the Scottish National Party £1.5m and Greens £1.1m.
The UK Independence Party spent the least per vote gained - the Scottish National Party spent least per MP won.
In the 2015 general election the Conservatives had 331 MPs elected, Labour 232, the SNP 56, and the Lib Dems 8.
UKIP had one MP elected despite winning 12.6% of all votes cast. The Greens had one MP elected and won 3.7% of votes.
Although comfortably outspending Labour over the regulated period - between 23 May 2014 and 7 May 2015 - the Conservatives spent less than in 2010, when their budget was £16.6m. In contrast, Labour spent more than in 2010, when their total outlay was £8m.
A breakdown of the figures show the Conservatives spent 27.7% of their budget on "unsolicited material", such as flyers, and 23.2% on advertising while Labour spent 61% of their budget on "unsolicited material" and 7.6% on advertising.
Unsolicited material: £15.04m
Market research and canvassing: £7.61m
Advertising: £6.86m
Rallies and other events: £2.49m
Overheads and general admin: £2.02m
Transport: £1.67m
Campaign broadcasts: £866,000
Media: £329,713
Manifestos: £318,880
Source: Electoral Commission
Spending on rallies accounted for 13% of Labour's total expenditure compared with the Conservatives' 5% while the Conservatives spent 30.1% of their budget on market research and canvassing against Labour's 7.7% outlay.
The Conservatives spent £1.2m on advertising on Facebook in the year before the poll while Labour spent just over £16,000.
The figures do not cover some administrative spending, for instance on staff, while spending by individual candidates is reported separately.
The SNP reported the biggest rise in spending compared with 2010, when their expenditure totalled £316,000. In contrast, the Lib Dems' spending fell from £4.7m in 2010 to £3.5m last year.
The castle, which attracts about 460,000 visitors per year, beat competitors including Edinburgh Zoo and Dynamic Earth.
Winners in 17 categories were announced at an awards ceremony in Glasgow.
The castle's executive manager Liz Grant said winning the award was a "wonderful achievement".
She said: "Scotland's heritage attractions, such as Stirling Castle, form an important part of the country's wider tourism and leisure offering and it's great to see this recognised.
"This accolade is made doubly special as it is initially voted for by members of the public and our visitors."
The woman was admitted to Salford Royal Hospital in Greater Manchester in 2010 following complications arising from an ectopic pregnancy.
During an operation, medics pierced one of the chambers of her heart, causing it to stop.
It led to "permanent and severe brain damage", caused by oxygen starvation.
Mrs Justice Swift told London's High Court how the woman, who was a 22-year-old hairdresser at the time of the blunder, had enjoyed "a full social life, a serious relationship and was pregnant".
"Her life looked promising," she added.
But the accident has left her using a wheelchair, unable to work and requiring 24-hour care.
With the help of her mother, she sued Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust, which manages the hospital, formerly known as Hope Hospital.
The trust admitted liability in July 2012, and a trial was due to start earlier to assess the size of the payout.
However, after negotiations, the woman's legal team agreed a last minute deal with the trust, worth £8m.
The woman's mother attended the court hearing to hear the result.
NHS barrister Sarah Vaughan Jones QC said: "I would like to offer an apology on behalf of the trust for the very sad events and express my admiration for the tremendous efforts by the family to make the claimant as happy as she could possibly be."
Approving the settlement, Mrs Justice Swift also praised the care provided by the family, and said the woman, now 27, "remains generally cheerful and with a good sense of humour".
She said: "I hope that this substantial settlement will at least ensure she has the best possible quality of life in the years to come and I wish her and the other members of her family the very best for the future".
Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) and Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) spent three years surveying the habitats.
The two agencies mapped and evaluated the condition of marches larger than seven acres (3ha) or longer than 1,640ft (500m).
Almost 250 sites on Scotland's mainland and islands were visited and 14,332 acres (5,800ha) in total was mapped.
Saltmarshes can usually be found at the top of the sea shore around the Scottish coast and provide an important habitat for birds.
Most of these areas are found in the Solway Firth in the south west of Scotland.
Prof Stewart Angus, from SNH, said: "The Scottish Saltmarsh Survey report gives us a really valuable 'snapshot' of a habitat that is likely to change considerably in coming years as a result of climate change."
Dr Clare Scanlan, of Sepa, added: "Saltmarsh is a sensitive habitat that could play an important role in relation to coastal flooding, and we are using the results of this national survey to help us in reporting the ecological status of saltmarsh for the EU Water Framework Directive."
The scheme at Baker's Quay to convert the site into a hotel, apartments, restaurants and a drive-thru cafe has received local authority backing.
Developers Rokeby Merchants intend to completely rebuild Provender Mill which was gutted in the fire.
But planning officers are unhappy with some aspects of the design proposal.
Rokeby Merchant's Adrian Goodall said the project "hangs in the balance" until the issues about balconies and cladding are resolved.
Gloucester City Council said the planned design is not "in keeping with the industrial heritage" of the location.
Mr Goodall said it is "worrying" and there will be a "tough two weeks ahead" trying to settle the matter before the company plans to start building work in the summer.
"We're right up on the line now in terms of timescales," he added.
After being airlifted to hospital having taken the full force of his mate's bike in that road accident last June, the 27-year-old was told he would never walk again.
He was also soon telling himself to "man up".
"I am not the sort of person who is going to sit in the corner and cry about what happened," he told BBC Sport. "Life's for living.
"And at least I got to go in a helicopter. It was one hell of a way of paying to get in one, and I couldn't see a lot because I had a stupid thing around my head. But at least I got in one."
Having heeded his own rather harsh "man-up" advice, Metcalfe-Hall, from Grantham, is now one of Britain's top handcyclists, is chasing a Paralympic dream, has a hugely impressive list of races and charity commitments pending - and plenty more besides.
Life has altered to an unrecognisable extent in a little under 18 months.
It is the handcycling that takes up most of Metcalfe-Hall's focus, because he was quickly "hooked" and wants to be the best.
Currently ranked around the top 10 in the country, he knows breaking in to the world's elite will be incredibly tough because of the commitment to the training and the costs involved.
But he is loving the journey and is in no doubt he will achieve his goals.
"I want to win," said Nottingham-born Metcalfe-Hall. "And one way or another I am going to win. I want to be number one or two in the country.
"Handcycling has made me who I am now. It has given me a focus and a drive. It's given me purpose."
Handcycling is still very much a new sport in Britain but it is growing, according to Ian Durrant, treasurer for HandCycling Association UK.
"There's been a definite upturn in interest since the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics," said Durrant, himself a keen handcyclist who helps run the charity.
"At the moment it is a much bigger sport in mainland Europe, America and Australia.
"There is some way to go to catch up with countries such as Poland, Germany, Austria, Spain because they have been doing it for much longer and have better support. But we are getting there."
Metcalfe-Hall is getting there in some style.
"His timeline is amazing from when he had his accident," said Durrant. "He has made remarkable progress. I am not sure I have seen someone come on so quickly - he's a natural athlete."
The road that led Metcalfe-Hall to his all-consuming handcycling addiction began when he "lost the front end of his bike" on a corner while riding in Bourne in his home county of Lincolnshire.
The accident itself feels like a lifetime ago because so much has changed. But the memories are vivid.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"My mate was behind me and I took a right-hand bend that had gravel on it and I didn't see the gravel," he said.
"I knew it was going down so I got off of it, dumped the bike and got away. I remember seeing all the Tarmac flashing past my face.
"I only blacked out for a split second so I remember everything. Everything. And I still see it every now and then.
"I heard a great big bang and felt it at the same time. And then that was it and I woke up again and I was staring at a bike and after a few seconds thought 'that's not my bike' because we have the same bike, but his has different indicators and different colours.
"I had the bike laid head to toe on me and I couldn't breathe. But I wasn't going to bench press that in a hurry."
Lucky might sound like a ridiculous word to use in relation to his accident, but Metcalfe-Hall tries to look on the positive side.
A first aider who saw the accident took control, alerting the emergency services, removing the bike, keeping calm and keeping Metcalfe-Hall safe until the paramedics turned up.
"He was brilliant," explained Metcalfe-Hall. "He talked to me all the way through, and did everything until the ambulance turned up.
"My mate had a twisted wrist after doing a cartwheel across the road and he knocked off his wing mirror - but I protected his bike because it was laid on top of me!
"It could have been a foot up and I could have lost my head, or a foot lower and he could have ran straight through me."
Metcalfe-Hall was taken to Nottingham's Queens Medical Centre, where it soon became obvious he was unlikely to walk again.
"The bone was through the spinal cord and had chopped through it," he added. "They said I would probably never walk again, and I knew that because I couldn't feel my legs. They said they wanted to get the operation done before things could get worse."
Three days later he was transferred to a specialist spinal unit in Sheffield and was soon thinking about the next stage.
Metcalfe-Hall could not wait to get out and find his "new life", pushing himself to the limits during his rehab, trying all sort of sports and activities from fencing to archery and tennis, and taking part in the Spinal Injury Games.
Within three and a half months he was out and about and discovered handcycling after attending a talk by athlete and inspirational speaker Kenny Herriot.
Then came the rather sizeable issue of finding the cash to fund his involvement in the sport. Handcycling equipment is not cheap.
But his family and former boss Dave King were able to raise approximately £11,000 at a charity event, enabling him to fund his bike, which cost nearly £8,000.
Metcalfe-Hall took part in Ride London 2015 and has a punishing list of events and races planned next year, from a skydive and wingwalk to the Three Peaks Challenge and the London to Paris Armed Forces Ride.
Keeping a positive outlook is his default setting - though he is the first to admit it has been made significantly easier by the "incredible support" he has received.
Dad Andrew Metcalfe, mum Wendy, King and countless friends are mentioned, particularly several able-bodied mates who would go on gruelling 10-mile rides in a wheelchair to keep him company.
"My dad's been great," he said. "We just have a laugh. He calls me 'Mr Wheeler' and I call him 'Mr Walker'. And Mr Walker helps out a lot in everything I do.
"He has a go at me and says, 'You've been sat on your bum all day. Again'. It's a good laugh. You need people to lighten things up.
"Everybody has their moments where they feel low and cannot deal with it. But then you say, 'Come on, get up and get on with with it'. I have friends who are a lot worse off than me."
Metcalfe-Hall admitted the accident had been tough to deal with when it came to his relationship with his daughter Skye.
"She still draws pictures of me stood up which is a bit gutting," he added. "I was a big strong dad - a builder and a kickboxer - so I would throw her about and go on climbing frames and stuff like that.
"I still chase her about, throw her on the sofa and play fight and I fall out of my chair. We still do loads but she knows what my limitations are and is pretty good with it. I can still take care of her on my own as I did before.
"I am developing myself," he added. "The last year has just been phenomenal. I think 'Was it really only a year ago I was injured?' I have met some brilliant people, done some incredible things and had such kindness shown to me.
"And you have to get on with things. I cannot just sit around. Well, that's exactly what I do, but you know what I mean."
The 31-year-old midfielder is England's most-capped player of all time, having represented her country 148 times.
Williams was part of the squad that finished third at last year's World Cup and was awarded an MBE in the New Year Honours list.
"Fara is a great competitor and a fantastic character, too," said Gunners boss Pedro Martinez Losa.

"She is a player with huge experience at club and international level, and her reading and understanding of games is fantastic."
Williams, who has also had spells at Chelsea, Charlton and Everton, helped the Reds win the FA Women's Super League title in 2013 and 2014.
Arsenal have not disclosed the length of her contract, but Williams tweeted she had signed with the north London side for two years.
This is a big coup for Arsenal and their fans.
With three World Cups, three European Championships and the London Olympics under her belt, 31-year-old Williams will add plenty of experience to their midfield.
Arsenal claimed the Continental Cup in 2015. Making a signing like this shows great intent as Arsenal look to win their first league title since 2012.
But it's another blow for Liverpool, whose slide continues.
Champions in 2013 and 2014, Liverpool finished second bottom in the WSL last season and Williams has now become the seventh player to leave the club in the transfer window.
The 29-year-old, who arrived from Chelsea last week for £40m, played the first 45 minutes at the Aviva Stadium.

Jan Adamec, 40, of Shetland Road, Haverhill, has been charged with two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
He remains in custody and will appear at Cambridge Magistrates' Court on Monday.
Mr Whiter's friend, Joey Abbs, who plays for Soham Town Rangers, was also "seriously injured" in the crash, police said.
At the time of the accident, Mr Abbs' Vauxhall Astra had a flat tyre and Mr Whiter, an estate agent in Stansted, had pulled over to help.
After a decade of unsuccessfully fighting for independence, the autonomous region is now firmly under the control of its Russian-appointed leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, although separatist groups continue low-level guerrilla attacks.
In addition, jihadist groups, including those aligned with Islamic State terrorist organization, exist in the region.
Oil-rich Chechnya has enjoyed a period of relative stability under Mr Kadyrov. But critics have accused the pro-Moscow leader and his government of suppressing media and other freedoms, as well as human rights violations including kidnappings and torture.

President: Ramzan Kadyrov
Ramzan Kadyrov, son of assassinated President Akhmad Kadyrov and a former rebel fighter, was nominated for the Chechen presidency by Russian President Vladimir Putin in spring 2007.
His tenure has marked a period of relative stability in Chechnya. Human rights groups have criticised Mr Kadyrov for allowing serious human rights violations to flourish in the republic.
Mr Kadyrov has defended himself against critics, insisting that iron rule is required to bring stability.
Reporters Without Borders includes President Kadyrov on its list of "Predators of Press Freedom". Chechnya has no opposition media. TV is the most popular medium and local broadcasts fall under state control. The Chechen government has also made steps to tighten online control.
Some key dates in Chechnya's history:
The men, including ex-South Yorkshire Police (SYP) chief inspector Sir Norman Bettison, attended Warrington Magistrates' Court in Cheshire.
No formal pleas were given for four of the men but former Sheffield Wednesday club secretary Graham Mackrell pleaded not guilty to health and safety charges.
They were all bailed until next month.
The court was told Sir Norman Bettison, who went on to become chief constable of Merseyside Police, Peter Metcalf, who was a solicitor for SYP, former Ch Supt Donald Denton and former Det Ch Insp Alan Foster, will plead not guilty when their cases reach crown court on 6 September.
Former Ch Supt David Duckenfield, who is also facing charges over the 1989 disaster, was not required to attend.
He was prosecuted privately in 1999 and the CPS is applying to the High Court to lift a court order imposed, which must be removed before Mr Duckenfield can be charged.
Mr Duckenfield was match commander at the FA Cup semi-final when 96 Liverpool fans were fatally injured in a crush.

The defendants walked past family members of the 96 victims of the disaster who had gathered at the entrance of the court.
The full list of individuals and charges are:
Last year, new inquests into the disaster at the Liverpool v Nottingham Forest match, held at Sheffield Wednesday's ground, concluded the fans had been unlawfully killed.
The inquests found that Liverpool supporters were not responsible for the dangerous situation at the Leppings Lane turnstiles.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) brought charges following referrals from the Operation Resolve investigation into the causes of the disaster and the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) probe.
Last month the CPS said there would be no manslaughter prosecution over the death of the 96th casualty, Anthony Bland, as he died almost four years later, and under the law in 1989 his death is now "out of time" to be prosecuted.
Multiple Tour de France stage winner Andre Greipel and ex-world champion Tom Boonen are among the confirmed entrants for the one-day event on 31 July.

"All the ingredients are in place to ensure this race once again lives up to its Classic name," said race director Mick Bennett.
"This is the strongest field we have ever assembled."
Team Sky will be looking for their first win in the race after Ben Swift finished runner-up in 2014 and third last year.
Sprinter Dan McLay, who beat Greipel when finishing third behind Mark Cavendish on the sixth stage of this year's Tour de France, will compete in a formidable looking Great Britain team that includes national road race champion Adam Blythe and time-trial winner Alex Dowsett.
The race will be shown live on BBC TV for the fourth successive year.
The Classic is part of the annual Prudential RideLondon cycling festival from 29-31 July. Other events include the RideLondon-Surrey 100 - a 100-mile amateur challenge on the same closed roads as the professionals.

Marine scientist, David Gruber, was diving near the Solomon Islands when he shone a special light at the turtle and saw that it glowed in the dark.
Scientists think that the hawksbill turtle is the first reptile known to have biofluorescence, which enables the creature to absorb some colours of light and glow.

Formerly known as Ernst and Young, it has proposed ending the provision of audit and account, compliance and reporting services at the office.
EY has begun a consultation process with the 35 workers who have been placed at risk of redundancy. Some staff could be redeployed, it said.
The company added that its tax team in Inverness was unaffected.
In a statement, the firm said: "EY can confirm that it is proposing to cease the provision of audit and account, compliance and reporting services from the Inverness office, with the intention to continue to deliver this service to our clients from other locations in Scotland and Newcastle.
"As a result, it is with regret that 35 people have been placed at risk of redundancy and a consultation process has begun.
"We do, of course, hope to explore other opportunities for individuals within EY, if skills are transferable.
"EY remain committed to the Inverness market and our assurance business in Scotland as a whole."
The force said its Wakefield headquarters had been fielding an increasing number of calls better suited to local councils or social services.
There has been an increase in calls relating to mental health issues due to council cutbacks, police said.
August saw 1,000 additional emergency calls a day compared to 2015.
The increase has prompted a call handler recruitment drive.
Recent time-wasting emergency calls include one from a man with a pizza "with not enough pepperoni" and a man needing a "lift to Halifax", the force said.
The 999 and 101 call handling department has over 200 staff, with an additional 46 being recruited to help reduce 101 call waiting times.
Tom Donohoe, head of the contact centre, said a rise in calls during August was because of an increase in alcohol-related incidents related to the warm weather.
He said: "In the past month or so, we have seen a dramatic increase in the volume of calls and we have taken all necessary steps to ensure that every call is dealt with."
The number of calls West Yorkshire Police are not able to deal with has risen to a fifth due to "misdirected calls" which should be going to other agencies, Mr Donohoe said.
"It can be an extremely rewarding role, as the call handlers help someone literally in their darkest hour, but can also be frustrating as we deal with many calls which are not for the police."
Witnesses said a satellite navigation error had caused the lorry to try and negotiate the narrow roads in Aberystwyth town centre, and reported gridlocked traffic as a result.

Kane struck three times in 23 minutes as Spurs beat Stoke City 4-0 to climb to second in the Premier League table.
The 23-year-old also scored three against Fulham in the FA Cup on 19 February and against West Brom in the league on 14 January.
"He's playing at a very good level, a fantastic player," said Pochettino.

Kane scored in the 14th, 32nd and 37th minutes as Spurs made it eight straight league wins at White Hart Lane.
Dele Alli scored in first-half stoppage time to complete the rout against mid-table Stoke.
Pochettino added: "He's one of the top strikers in the world and I think he deserves it because he's a great professional and top man. I'm happy for him.
"It doesn't surprise me, because I've told you many times that for me he's one of the best strikers in the world.
"This season we are not only winning games [at White Hart Lane], we are playing very well here - maybe because we all know it's the last season here and it's a very special atmosphere on the pitch and in the stadium."
Analysis by former Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas on Radio 5 live
That was a special performance by Harry Kane. There are only a select number of players who can score like he can on their weaker side.
More often than not, if he is in the box, he will hit it. It goes through bodies, goes through legs and ends up in the back of the net.
I just don't know how much more of a warning you need when he is on the edge of the box with the ball. He is lethal with both feet. You need to close him down. When you're hot, you're hot. It's as simple as that.
Former England striker Alan Shearer, who scored a record 260 Premier League goals: "Calm down Harry Kane! What is he after...a Premier League record or something?"
Former Tottenham striker Gary Lineker tweeted: "A third hat-trick for Kane in nine games. The last person to do that was....someone else."
Assistant boss Roy Keane said the Stoke striker trained "fully" on Saturday morning after suffering with Achilles problems over the past week.
"He got through it. It was a decent session for him," said Keane.
Previous injury concerns Robbie Keane, Robbie Brady and James McCarthy also all trained again without any problem.
"It's good for the manager to have all players available for selection," added the Republic assistant boss.
LA Galaxy striker Keane, 35, missed both the warm-up games against the Netherlands and Belarus because of a calf injury, while Everton midfield McCarthy, 25, has been bothered by groin and hamstring problems since the end of the club season.
Norwich's left-sided player Brady sustained a back twinge last weekend while picking his baby daughter out of the path.

Republic player of the year Walters had taken only a light part in training on Thursday but, like all of the squad, was given the day off on Friday.
"We decided with the medical staff, we would try to keep as close to how the boys would be preparing, let's say, for club football and with Monday's game in mind, we'll train a couple of days beforehand," said the Republic boss on Friday at his team's training base in Versailles.
"Although we climbed on the bus and went down to the training ground, it was really just a walk.
"The medical staff are saying just leave Jon Walters as he is at this minute and let's see how he is tomorrow, just to see if there was any reaction from yesterday's training."

Striker Shane Long accepts that Monday's opener is likely to prove a "key game" to the Republic's chances of progressing to the second round.
"If you look at the three games as a whole, I think the Sweden game is a great chance for us to put our stamp on the Euros and really put ourselves in with the best chance of progressing," said the Southampton forward.
For his part, O'Neill acknowledged that the excitement is starting to build within the squad.
"Very much so. It's right upon us," added the manager, whose squad arrived in France on Wednesday.
"When you are coming in on Wednesday, I think you forget the competition actually starts quickly, and the weekend will fly in, I bet you.
After the Group E opener against Sweden at the Stade de France, the Republic face Belgium in Bordeaux on 18 June before taking on Italy in Lille four days later.
McCoy, 40, announced on Saturday that this season will be his last in racing.
In an in-depth interview with the BBC, the 19-time champion jockey said a three-week injury lay-off earlier this season was the "toughest" of his career because it ended his hopes of reaching the 300 milestone.
He discusses the decision to retire, injuries and his plans for the future.
McCoy spoke to racehorse owner JP McManus, agent Dave Roberts and wife Chanelle before announcing his decision to retire after riding his 200th winner at Newbury on Saturday.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"Dave Roberts came for dinner and my wife, Chanelle, had no idea why he was coming down. The only person that I'd really spoken to about it was JP, my boss.
"I was a bit low for the next couple of days, so I think I'm going to have my moments.
"I jokingly said I started thinking about it five years ago. In some ways I was joking but I thought, '20 jockey championships, is that realistic? Could I possibly achieve that?'
"And then when I rode my 4,000th winner, I was quite happy and people were asking about riding 5,000. To this day I still feel I could ride 5,000 winners, if I wasn't in the position that I'm in.
"I've been very lucky all my life and the way it happened at Newbury couldn't have been any better.
"It was for JP. I'd ridden a winner earlier in the day on a horse of John Ferguson's to get me to 199. It was my local track, my wife was only down the road. She wasn't even going to come racing until she heard I'd won the first one.
"In some ways I wanted to and in some ways I didn't. I would have liked not to have to announced I was retiring."
With 200 wins this season, McCoy is 79 clear of closest rival Richard Johnson as the Northern Irishman closes in on a 20th jockeys' championship.
"I genuinely think if I retired today and came back as someone else tomorrow, I could ride another 700 winners, no problem. The thing for me was being lucky enough to be in the position I'm in.
"I've won 19 jockeys' championships and hopefully this year will be my 20th. You try to achieve that every year and I always had that little fear of carrying on longer than I should do.
"I've looked up to leading sportspeople all my life. In the last few years, you look at Brian O'Driscoll, who went out at the top. Sir Alex Ferguson won Manchester United's 20th title and retired. That is the way you should depart, when you're at what you think is the top of your game.
"That is the most difficult thing about it because you're leaving when you're still enjoying what you do and at a time when you'd like to carry on, but sometimes you've got to do the right thing.
"I thought about leaving it until the end of the year but I didn't want speculation and people writing about it and talking about it. I wanted it to be on my terms."
The extensive list of injures McCoy has suffered during his 20-year career includes a broken leg, arm, ankle, both wrists, shoulder blades, collar bones, cheekbones and all of his ribs. He has also broken several vertebrae in his back, suffered punctured lungs and had all his teeth replaced due to racing injuries.
Of all of his setbacks, McCoy said a fall at Worcester in October 2014 was the hardest to deal with because it meant he would not achieve his ambition of riding 300 winners in a season.
"I won't miss them but those things challenge you in life and maybe that's the way I am.
"I'm the kind of person who likes to be challenged. When I fell, I always felt I could get up again and carry on.
"After the fall at Worcester, at the time I was the only one who knew what I was dealing with. I had a punctured lung, I dislocated a collarbone, I had broken two ribs. I went back riding after three days and managed to break the same collarbone I'd dislocated.
"I was doing press-ups on the ground to show the doctors it wasn't sore. That's something I don't think I'd have been able to do 15 years ago. It's something I've trained my mind and body to cope with.
"I had the aspiration of riding 300 winners at that time and I knew if I wanted to do that then I had to carry on. I couldn't afford the days off but in the end I had to face up to it.
"Those three weeks I had off were probably, emotionally, the toughest in my racing career.
"At that point in the season I had ridden my fastest 50th winner, my fastest 100th winner, my fastest 150th winner and I thought, 'I can ride 300 winners and this would be the way I'd like to retire'.
"I'd have achieved what I have never been able to achieve in 20 years. When that was taken away from me, that's probably the one thing that hit me the hardest."
At 17, McCoy rode his first winner in Ireland in 1992 and began racing in England two years later. He says he has no firm plans for his retirement but would like to stay involved in racing.
"I'm slightly concerned I have a bit of an obsessive personality. I like to have this idea that I'm going to enjoy my retirement a bit. There's sporting events around the world that I would like to go and see.
"If Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather fought in Las Vegas, I'd like to go and see that. I'd like to go and see Rory McIlroy win the Masters and watch Arsenal win the Champions League final.
"I love racing and it's been so good to me. I'm not going to be bitter about the fact I can't ride any more. I'm well aware that this happens to everyone.
"Whether it be this year or next year, I know there's going to be a good horse that I could have ridden. I would like to stay within racing and try to do whatever good I can for the sport.
"I don't think retiring is anything to be congratulated for. I've been extremely lucky and I know it's the right thing and that the time is right."
A decision was made in September to include the Army's Irish Guards team after a rule banning British security forces from the GAA was overturned.
But a London hurling club has been attempting to have them excluded again.
The GAA has now moved to stop a vote that could see the Army team removed.
The London board of Gaelic games' ruling body was due to hold a vote on Monday night on the proposal by the Harrow-based Granuaile to scrap last year's decision to allow the Irish Guards to compete in the junior football championship.
But Páraic Duffy, the director general of the Irish-based GAA, contacted the London board and it subsequently suspended the vote.
Aogán ó Fearghail, the GAA president, said the association's central council would discuss the matter.
"We've written to the London GAA board and we've asked them not to make a decision on that until we, as a management, have a look at that," he said.
"Because it's nothing to do with one club, it's all clubs - we've close to 2,000 clubs.
"If we accept a club into our association, then it shouldn't be so simple to just remove them."
A spokesman for the GAA added that the association's management committee and central council would meet this weekend.
British security forces have been allowed to join the GAA since the rule banning them was historically lifted in 2001.
The GAA spokesman said "only [Granuaile] can confirm the rationale behind their submission" for a proposal to "revisit the affiliation processed in relation to the Irish Guards".
The 46-year-old, who has just concluded a four-game stint as interim manager following Sam Allardyce's departure, is the only candidate.
The England Under-21 coach was interviewed by a five-person panel but no announcement is expected until any appointment is ratified at a full FA board meeting at the end of the month.
The panel comprised FA chairman Greg Clarke, chief executive Martin Glenn, technical director Dan Ashworth, League Managers' Association chairman Howard Wilkinson and former England defender Graeme Le Saux.
"The FA has to be seen to be going through the process," ex-FA chief executive Mark Palios told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme.
"Maybe it is a process to iron out some things they expect of an England manager, so it is more of a briefing for Southgate than an interview.
"Everyone knows Gareth. They know him from around the FA, they know him through his involvement with the under-21s."
Meanwhile, it appears unlikely the FA will take action against England and Liverpool midfielders Jordan Henderson and Adam Lallana after reports they visited a strip club while on international duty.
The pair allegedly made the trip a day after a World Cup qualifying win over Scotland and less than three days before a draw in a friendly with Spain.
The FA is declining to comment.
Southgate has left England top of their World Cup qualifying group after victories against Malta and Scotland and a goalless draw in Slovenia.
His last game as interim manager almost resulted in a win over Spain but England were denied victory by two late goals.
England next play in March, with a friendly against World Cup winners Germany in Dortmund, followed by a home qualifier against Lithuania.
It is also understood the FA did not tell England captain Wayne Rooney to apologise over "inappropriate" pictures of him at a wedding at the team hotel during the same international break.
The Sun newspaper published images it said showed Rooney drunk at a party late on Saturday night - a day after the 3-0 win over Scotland on 11 November.
Rooney "unreservedly" apologised to interim England manager Gareth Southgate after pictures emerged.
The 31-year-old Manchester United striker has since branded reaction to his late-night conduct as "disgraceful" and vowed he is "not finished yet".
The FA, which is also looking into claims several players were out until late after the Scotland game, has now banned England players from having nights out while on international duty.
It is believed that Henderson, who was captain for the 2-2 draw with Spain at Wembley, and Lallana, did not break an FA players' code of conduct, which is seen as a set of guidelines rather than specific rules.
Nadia Eweida took her case to the ECHR after BA made her stop wearing her white gold cross visibly.
The court said BA had not struck a fair balance between Ms Eweida's religious beliefs and the company's wish to "project a certain corporate image".
It ruled the rights of three others had not been violated by their employers.
But they said Ms Eweida's rights had been violated under Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
The four Christians had brought cases against the UK government for not protecting their rights but ministers, who contested the claims, argued that the rights of the employees were only protected in private.
By Robert PigottReligious affairs correspondent, BBC News
Although Nadia Eweida's victory shows that Christians can see wearing a cross at work as part of behaving in accordance with their religion, the court's decision was based on special circumstances - including the fact that a discreet cross would not have adversely affected British Airways' public image.
It's perhaps more significant that Shirley Chaplin's case was dismissed, along with those of Gary McFarlane and Lillian Ladele. Today's judgement sets the legal seal on years in which traditionalist Christians have tried, and failed, to defend their values against secular ones in British courts.
The message coming from Strasbourg is that although people are entitled to hold religious views, that right is severely limited in the workplace when it comes into conflict with the rights of other people. The judgement also hands considerable discretion to employers to set reasonable policies and then insist that employees follow them whatever their religious beliefs.
Ms Eweida, 60, a Coptic Christian from Twickenham in south-west London, told the BBC she was "jumping with joy" after the ruling, adding it had "not been an easy ride".
British Airways said its uniform policy was changed in 2007 to allow Miss Eweida and others to "wear symbols of faith" and that she and other employees had been working under these arrangements for the last six years.
It said Ms Eweida did not attend work for a period of time in 2006 while an internal appeal was held into her refusal to remove her cross but she remained a British Airways employee.
The British government was ordered to pay Ms Eweida 2,000 euros (£1,600) in damages and 30,000 euros (£25,000) costs.
A tribunal decision was upheld by the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court in the UK before she took her case to the ECHR.
Prime Minister David Cameron said he was "delighted" that the "principle of wearing religious symbols at work has been upheld", adding that people "shouldn't suffer discrimination due to religious beliefs".
The other cases involved nurse Shirley Chaplin, 57, whose employer also stopped her wearing necklaces with a cross, Gary McFarlane, 51, a marriage counsellor sacked after saying he might object to giving sex therapy advice to gay couples, and registrar Lillian Ladele who was disciplined after she refused to conduct same-sex civil partnership ceremonies.
The four had made individual applications to the ECHR after losing separate employment tribunals but their cases were heard together.
They argued their employers' actions went against articles 9 and 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which protected their rights to "freedom of thought, conscience and religion" and prohibited religious discrimination.
Ms Ladele was disciplined by Islington Council, in north London, after saying she did not want to conduct same-sex civil partnership ceremonies. Her lawyers said the service could have been performed by other employees who were prepared to carry them out.
ECHR judges said the council's action was legitimate as it was obliged to consider the rights of same-sex couples.
Mike Judge, of the Christian Institute, which backed Ms Ladele's case, said: "What this case shows is that Christians with traditional beliefs about marriage are at risk of being left out in the cold."
Mr McFarlane, a Bristol relationship counsellor, worked for the Avon branch of national charity Relate but was sacked for gross misconduct in 2008 after saying on a training course he might have an objection to discussing sexual problems with gay couples.
The court said clients of the service where he was employed could not be allocated in accordance with their sexual orientation.

Why is the cross important to Christians?
Mr McFarlane told the BBC that the decision in his case was "a regrettable judgment" for all faiths, not just Christians.
Ms Chaplin, from Exeter, was transferred to a desk job by Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Trust Hospital for failing to remove a confirmation crucifix on a small chain, which she had worn to work for 30 years.
The court said the decision was necessary to protect the health and safety of nurses and patients.
She said she thought British Christians would be "devastated" by the ruling.
The three plan to ask for their cases to go to appeal to the Grand Chamber of the ECHR.
Employment lawyers at firm Slater and Gordon said the decision did not change the situation that discriminating against a person purely because of their religion was against UK law.
They said it also showed that corporate image did not trump a person's right to reasonable expression of their religious belief.
Communities Secretary Eric Pickles and the Equalities Minister Maria Miller both welcomed the ruling.
Keith Porteous-Wood, of the National Secular Society, said: "Religious people who feel elements of their job go against their conscience can always find employment that better matches their needs. That is true religious freedom."
Shami Chakrabarti, director of human rights group Liberty, said the judgment was "an excellent result for equal treatment, religious freedom and common sense".
The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, said the Equality Act "encourages employers to embrace diversity - including people of faith".

The investigation was described as an "absurd provocation" by Lithuania's Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius.
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were occupied by Soviet communist forces in 1940. The USSR broke up in 1991.
Last week Russia's chief prosecutor declared illegal the transfer of Crimea from Russia to Ukraine in 1954.
At the time Russia and Ukraine were republics of the USSR, under communist leader Nikita Khrushchev.
Russia's annexation of Crimea in March 2014 was condemned internationally. Ethnic Russians there voted to rejoin Russia, in a highly controversial referendum.
There are large ethnic Russian minorities in Estonia and Latvia, while Lithuania has a smaller ethnic Russian minority.
A source at the prosecutor's office, quoted by Russia's Interfax news agency, said the investigation into the Baltic states' independence followed a request from two parliamentary deputies.
In their letter, MPs Yevgeny Fyodorov and Anton Romanov, of President Vladimir Putin's United Russia party, said the 1991 decision to recognise Baltic independence had been taken "by an unconstitutional body".
The source added that there would not be "legal consequences" if the 1991 recognition of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania was deemed to be illegal.
The three Baltic states joined the EU and Nato in 2004. In recent years Russia has viewed that as a hostile challenge to its security interests.
Russian-Baltic tensions have been rising since the Crimea annexation and the outbreak of fighting in eastern Ukraine in April 2014. Heavily armed pro-Russian separatists there are clashing daily with Ukrainian government troops.
Nato has stepped up its presence in the Baltic states, responding to massive Russian military exercises, including heightened Russian air force activity in the Baltic.
Reacting to the Russian prosecutor's move, Lithuania's foreign minister called it "a provocation to say the least" and "legally, morally and politically absurd".
Stuttgarter Zeitung claimed on Tuesday that Kimmich, 22, would depart Bayern because of a lack of games, despite him being under contract until 2020.
They stated that he was likely to sign for either fellow German side RB Leipzig or Manchester City.
"This is a monstrous fallacy," said Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.
"This story lacks any foundation. Joshua Kimmich has a contract with FC Bayern until 2020 and will definitely play for the next season for FC Bayern."
In a statement on their official website, Bayern stated that the club had "immediately taken legal action against the Stuttgart newspaper".
German international Kimmich played for Leipzig for two seasons in the German second and third division before moving to Bayern in 2015 when now Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was in charge.
He has started 15 Bundesliga games this season, coming off the bench 11 times as Carlo Ancelotti's side wrapped up a fifth straight title.
The study found that taller people had a slightly higher risk of breast cancer and skin cancer, among other cancers.
Its results found that for every extra 10cm (4in) of height, when fully grown, the risk of developing cancer increased by 18% in women and 11% in men.
But experts said the study did not take into account many risk factors and that tall people should not be worried.
To reduce risk of cancer, the most important things to do are:
Previous studies have shown a link between height and an increased risk of developing cancer, although why it exists is not known.
In a preliminary report of the study, presented at the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology conference, researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm describe how they tracked a large group of Swedish adults for more than 50 years.
Taller women had a 20% greater risk of developing breast cancer, they said, while taller men and women increased their risk of skin cancer (or melanoma) by 30%.
This study's early findings are very similar in size to those found by other studies.
Dr Emelie Benyi, who led the study, said the results could help to identify risk factors that could lead to the development of treatments.
But she added: "As the cause of cancer is multi-factorial, it is difficult to predict what impact our results have on cancer risk at the individual level."
Although it is clear that adult height is not a cause of cancer, it is thought to be a marker for other factors related to childhood growth.
Scientists say taller people have more growth factors, which could encourage cancer development, they have more cells in their body because of their size, which increases the risk of one of them turning cancerous, and a higher food intake, which also makes them more at risk of cancer.
Prof Dorothy Bennett, head of the molecular cell sciences research centre, St George's, University of London, said it was "very plausible" that the risk of cancer in a person should be related to the number of cells in their body
"A cancer arises by mutations from a single normal cell. Bigger people have more cells (not bigger cells)," she said.
"So melanoma risk, for example, might be expected to increase with surface area (amount of skin), which is related to the square of height."
Sarah Williams, health information manager at Cancer Research UK, said the study did not take into account factors such as smoking or whether women went for breast screening.
She added: "Whatever your height, there are lots of things you can do to reduce the risk of cancer - not smoking, cutting down on alcohol, eating healthily, being active, having a healthy weight and enjoying the sun safely can each help you stack the odds against the disease."
It was the death there of his brother - the commander of Israel's hostage rescue mission at Entebbe airport in July 1976 - that pushed Mr Netanyahu into public life, a path that would eventually take him to the leadership of his country.
But Mr Netanyahu's Africa tour - he is also visiting Ethiopia, Kenya and Rwanda - represents something of a reprise of the diplomatic past as well.
For, during the 1950s and early 1960s, Israel developed strong ties with several African countries.
In common with many African nations, Israel was seen as a young country that had established itself through its own independence struggle. Trade and security ties flourished.
But this was not to last. A whole combination of factors prompted a souring of ties between Israel and African capitals between 1966 and 1973.

Israel's unwanted African migrants
There was Israel's occupation of territory captured in the 1967 Six Day War. There was growing pressure from Arab states and, by the Middle East War in 1973, the oil weapon was a potent tool.
Guinea was the first to break off ties after the 1967 war. Uganda followed in 1972. Chad, Congo and Burundi followed. Israel's relations with some 35 African states simply fell apart.
Subsequently, Israel's security relationship with the apartheid regime in South Africa proved an additional obstacle to restoring ties.
But now things are changing. In part, it is a question of Africa's own growing prosperity and its search for technology and economic partners. Israel too is eager for new markets.
But is also gathering vital diplomatic support as well because African votes on bodies like the UN Security Council and at related organisations like the UN's nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, can prove of crucial significance.
Israel's relationship with Sub-Saharan African states is taking on greater importance as some of its ties with its traditional allies in Europe cool.
Indeed it is part of a wider re-orientation of Israel's network of relationships, with countries such as India and China growing in importance.
After years of keeping their distance, African politicians are now eager to go to Israel.
The Kenyan President was there in February and, in March, Mr Netanyahu met Ghana's foreign minister. Even links with South Africa may be improving.
The Director of the Israeli Foreign Ministry Dore Gold visited Pretoria earlier this year, the first such high-level visit for several years.
For Israel the benefits are clear: a more balanced foreign policy and crucial support in international bodies.
For African nations there is access to Israeli expertise in areas such as high technology, agriculture and irrigation.
But intelligence and security is going to loom large.
At a time when Islamist extremism is a growing problem in significant parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, with contagion spreading south from Libya and groups like Boko Haram exploiting ties with so-called Islamic State, there are obvious mutual benefits for Israel and its renewed African partners. | More than 200 patients in England have been infected or contaminated with a drug-resistant fungus first found in Japan, health officials have confirmed.

"Team deviant" Adrian Pogmore admitted four charges of misconduct in a public office. He was jailed for a year.
Two other officers and two pilots were cleared of misconduct following a three-week trial at Sheffield Crown Court.
Pogmore, 51, from Whiston in Rotherham, was described as "a swinging and sex-obsessed air observer".
Sentencing him, Judge Peter Kelson QC told Pogmore: "You spied on and recorded these naked people from a height of 1,000ft.
"You quite literally considered yourself above the law."
Read more about this and other stories from across Yorkshire
The judge described Pogmore as a "rogue police officer" whose actions had been "offensive and invasive".
"In short, you used a £2m helicopter which costs something like 1,000 dollars (sic) an hour to run to advance your own sexual curiosities when it should have been detecting crime," he said.
"Instead of deterring and detecting crime, you were committing crime.
"So strong were your sexual urges that you were willing to take, and did take, substantial risks of being detected by your colleagues in the helicopter at the time."
The intrusive filming took place on four occasions between 2007 and 2012 when Pogmore was part of the South Yorkshire Police Air Support Unit.
The footage included a couple sitting naked by a caravan and a woman sunbathing naked with her daughters.
A couple who Pogmore knew were also filmed having sex on their patio.
The judge said his actions had severely damaged public confidence in the police.
One of the women filmed by Pogmore said in her victim statement: "If you can't trust the police, who can you trust?"
Pogmore had been described in court by other members of the air support unit as the "team deviant".
In mitigation, John Ryder QC, said there was a macho culture in the air support unit which he categorised as "coarse locker room humour rather than anything more sinister".
He said the defendant had admitted what he had done and felt a "strong sense of shame".
"He fully appreciates the seriousness of his behaviour," he said.
"It was utterly irresponsible. It was thoughtless and foolish. But it was not motivated by anything more sinister than that."
The judge said he took account of Pogmore's 22-year police service, which included a number of commendations, and said he found it an "immensely difficult" sentencing exercise.
But he said Pogmore's actions were a "gross abuse" of trust and he had to impose a prison term.

School budgets and the pupil premium for disadvantaged children would rise to protect them against rising costs.
The party also promises 15 hours free childcare for two-year-olds in England and more access to flexible working.
However, while it plans to reintroduce maintenance grants for the poorest students, there is no commitment to abolish tuition fees in England.
Instead, the Lib Dems promise a review of higher education finance in the next Parliament "to consider any necessary reforms, in the light of the latest evidence of the impact of the existing financing system on access, participation and quality".
Under the party's plans the devolved administrations of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland would gain similar amounts which they could choose to spend on education, bringing the overall UK total to about £7bn over the next Parliament.
The party's manifesto says UK schools are facing "an unprecedented funding crisis" and pledges to protect per-pupil funding in real terms and introduce a fairer national funding system "so that no school loses money".
It also says the Lib Dems would scrap the planned expansion of grammar schools in England and give local authorities "clear responsibility for local school places planning".
The party also promises free school meals for all primary schools in England.
The Lib Dems say too many teachers are leaving the profession.
They say they would end the 1% cap on teachers' pay rises and work to end "unnecessary teacher workloads".
There is also a pledge to ensure that all teachers are trained to identify mental health issues among pupils and that schools offer immediate access for pupil support and counselling.
The manifesto promises 15 hours of free childcare during term-time for all two-year-olds - currently 15 hours is available to the poorest 40%.
The party would then prioritise 15 hours of free childcare for all working parents in England with children aged between nine months and two years.
The early years pupil premium would increase from just over £300 to £1,000 a year per pupil.
There is also a commitment to "raise the quality of early years provision", with every formal early years setting expected to employ at least one person, by 2022, with an early years teachers qualification.
It proposes to expand shared parental leave "with an additional 'use it or lose it' month to encourage fathers to take time off with young children".
"We would make paternity and shared parental leave a 'day one' right," it adds.
It says the party would encourage employers to provide more flexible working, "so that there is a presumption that work is flexible unless there is a clear business reason it cannot be".
The manifesto says its commitments for education and the family would be funded by increasing income tax by a penny and raising corporation tax from 19% to 20%.
The National Day Nurseries Association welcomed the manifesto but said pledges had to be properly financed.
Chief executive Purnima Tanuku said: "While the Lib Dems set out some ambitious and worthwhile aims in their manifesto, there must be sufficient investment and strategic planning for these to be deliverable.
"In offering all two-year-olds 15 funded hours of childcare per week, the Lib Dems are committing to an expansion of the current system which is already struggling with underfunding.
"It is at least heartening that the Lib Dems acknowledge that any childcare promises to parents must be properly funded for nurseries to remain sustainable as businesses, but in committing to longer-term goals to provide 'free' childcare for all from nine months onwards, they are in danger of being overly ambitious."
The Association of School and College Leaders said it welcomed the commitment to improve education funding from both the Lib Dems and the Labour party.
General secretary Geoff Barton said: "Labour and the Liberal Democrats have recognised the importance of ensuring that schools and colleges are properly funded, and we are sure that the public will expect the Conservatives to invest in the future of our young people too."

Ms Suu Kyi's image was on student walls around the world, Bono even wrote a song about her. She became synonymous with the global struggle for democracy and human rights.
Now at liberty, living in the same Yangon house but in a much-changed country, Aung San Suu Kyi is free to speak her mind. But she's selective about her causes.
In parliament, where she sits as an opposition MP, the 69-year-old frequently criticises the government for the slow pace of reform, and restates her increasingly forlorn demands for constitutional change.
But on the persecution of Myanmar's most famously forgotten minority Ms Suu Kyi is silent.
For decades, hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims have lived in Rakhine State, near the country's western border with Bangladesh.
They've become well-known in the last few weeks, but long denied citizenship and freedom of movement, their misery is nothing new.
There's huge disagreement over how most of them got there, where they belong and what they should be called.
So, in a facile step that instantly alienates most of Myanmar, I'm going to put history to one side.
On a purely human level, there are currently about 800,000 people in western Myanmar, denied the most basic of rights and discriminated against due to the circumstances of their birth. They've been fleeing into the hands of cruel trafficking rings because they're poor and desperate.
From a simple human rights perspective it's a continuing outrage that should shame us all.
So why, despite the calls from around the world is Ms Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize winner, reluctant to raise her voice?
The simplest explanation, voiced repeatedly over the last few weeks, is that she's always been a pragmatic politician not a human rights activist.
By defending the Rohingya, Ms Suu Kyi would immediately put herself at odds with powerful Buddhist nationalist groups, potentially changing the dynamics of this year's all important general election.
An already unpredictable vote would become super-charged with religious and ethnic tensions.
There was some evidence of Ms Suu Kyi's extreme caution earlier this year when United Nations envoy Yanghee Lee visited.
After Ms Lee highlighted the plight of the Rohingya, the monk Ashin Wirathu delivered a vulgar speech describing the South Korean in derogatory terms.
It was demeaning and outrageous and the UN's human rights chief in Geneva soon called on all of Myanmar's leaders to condemn the monk.
Opposition leader Ms Suu Kyi remained silent.
That's despite Yanghee Lee being Asian, female, a human rights advocate and being described in the most misogynistic language possible in Ms Suu Kyi's home town. It didn't look good.
Aung San Suu Kyi's supporters say it's not because she doesn't care, but that she sees this sort of issue as a trap.
Giving a strong quote on the Rohingya or Yanghee Lee might hand out a bloody nose or two and satisfy the human rights lobby, but it won't actually change anything on the ground.
The big picture for Ms Suu Kyi they say, is to win the election in November and prepare the ground for the complex negotiations on power that will follow.
With ethnic minority parties likely to pick up a chunk of the seats, and a quarter automatically allocated to the army, Ms Suu Kyi's party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), needs to dominate the ethnically Bamar constituencies.
To do that she'll need the support of the monks and a solid claim to be patriotically defending the Buddhist state. Sadly there are only votes to be lost in Rohingya rights.
Myanmar's unwanted people
But there's another aspect to this.
Underpinning the demands for Aung San Suu Kyi to "speak out" is the assumption, particularly from abroad, that she's concealing her more liberal beliefs for political reasons.
Well what if she's not? Just because you've been given the Nobel Peace Prize doesn't mean you sign up to a particular set of values. Just ask Henry Kissinger.
Maybe Ms Suu Kyi agrees with the Burmese authorities that they need to act to make sure that Myanmar's character remains overwhelmingly Buddhist, and that Muslim populations are growing too rapidly. Would it be that surprising if she shared the widely held Burmese view that the Rohingya belong back in Bangladesh?
If parts of this debate are starting to sound familiar, blank out the ethnicities and the country's names. Put France, England, Eritreans or Syrians back in.
In European capitals these sort of views are being expressed every day by mainstream politicians about that continent's migrant crisis.
He will join his younger brother, All Blacks back Charles Piutau, who is already with the Midlands matchday-based club until the end of the season.
Wasps boss Dai Young has signed Piutau, 30, as cover for injured trio Alapati Leiua, Andrea Masi and Ben Jacobs.
In addition, Elliot Daly is on standby for England bench duty in Saturday's Six Nations opener at Murrayfield.
"We've been left a little bit short with injuries in the centres," said Young. "We're expecting Ben Jacobs to be back fit in the next few weeks but, with Elliot away on England duty, we needed to add a bit of depth.
"Siale's transition into the squad will no doubt be made slightly easier by having his brother here."
Wasps stand fifth in the Premiership, eight points adrift of the top four, going into Saturday's home game (14:00 GMT) with struggling Newcastle, when old boy Andy Goode is likely to make his return to the Ricoh Arena.
The Piutau brothers were both born in New Zealand, in Auckland, but Siale chose to represent Tonga, winning the first of his 24 caps in 2011.
Younger brother Charles, 24, who is already contracted to Ulster for the 2016-17 season, opted to take up the offer of a one-season deal with Wasps after being left out of New Zealand's ultimately victorious Rugby World Cup squad.
Piutau Sr did play at the World Cup, playing all four group games against Georgia, Namibia, Argentina and New Zealand.
The joint venture could generate $5bn (£3.3bn) in revenues over three years, said Powa's boss, Dan Wagner.
UnionPay Network Payments is owned by China UnionPay, which has 4.5 billion credit and debit card users worldwide.
Powa's technology enables shoppers to pay in-store and online by smartphone.
"This is undoubtedly a huge deal for Powa," said electronic payments expert, Dave Birch of Hyperion Consulting.
The joint venture, PowaTag UnionPay, will launch first in Guangdong Province, targeting 400,000 retailers, the company says, before rolling out to one million by the end of 2016.
"We have a target to reach at least 50 million consumers regularly using the platform within one year from launch," said PowaTag UnionPay's chairman, Mr Hu Jinxiong.
China's merchants - there are six million in total - will pay about 13p per transaction to the joint venture for access to the technology, said Mr Wagner.
The PowaTag system relies on digital tags - quick response (QR) codes - that can be attached to physical goods or inserted into self-service checkout screens, emails, websites, posters, images - even the audio from TV ads.
Wherever Chinese shoppers see the PowaTag UnionPay symbol they will be able to buy products by scanning them with their phones and tapping the "buy now" button, the company says.
US retail giant Walmart recently launched a similar quick pay system for mobiles in its stores.
China's Commerce Department says the "online to offline" market, whereby shoppers search for products online then complete the purchase in-store, grew 80% in the first half of 2015 and is worth about £31bn ($47bn).
"Why did China UnionPay decide to partner with a little British technology company?" said Mr Wagner. "We've trumped ApplePay and the rest of the world here."
State-owned China UnionPay, has been responding to the rapid take-up of smartphones across the country - about 68% of the population now has one.
On 12 December, it launched QuickPass - a "tap-and-go" payment system for mobile phones similar to Apple Pay and other digital wallets - in co-operation with more than 20 commercial banks.
QuickPass is already available at more than 10,000 locations in mainland China, says UnionPay, including at retailers such as Carrefour, McDonald's, and Costa.
"The Chinese market is going mobile very quickly," says Mr Birch. "And the integration of payment systems and messaging platforms such as WeChat is a very interesting development."
This latest deal with Powa will give Chinese shoppers yet another way to shop using their mobiles.
The National Union of Students says criminals are taking advantage of students coming from overseas with limited experience of the UK housing market.
National cybercrime analysts Action Fraud say in the year to September, more than 3,000 cases of rental fraud were reported to them, up by half on the previous year.
Police say a large number of cases involve international students.
Chiteisri Devi, who is 28 and from India, was recently conned by someone posting in a Facebook group for students looking for housing in London.
The student, who has been studying for an MA at University College London, ended up paying more than £2,000 for a flat which didn't exist.
She said: "I told the scammer I would think about it, but she told me I had to be fast.
"I wasn't really in my right mind because my granddad had recently died and I just really needed a place to get on with university work. So I tried to sort my accommodation out from India."
She says she is speaking out to stop other students falling victim to a housing scam, as cases of rental fraud are often under-reported.
"The scam artist sent me a tenancy agreement and bank details so it seemed 'legit'. But it wasn't long before funny stuff started happening.
"For example, she got in touch to say she wouldn't be there when I arrived in London, and that a lawyer would be there to give me the keys. That lawyer never showed up.
"When I finally realised it was a scam, I was really upset. The bank had been closed and my savings were gone."
She says she learned a vital lesson.
"In India, I never would have signed up for a property without viewing it first. In India, you're always cautious. But now I've realised wherever you are in the world, you don't pay for a place if you haven't seen it.
"If you're an international student and you have to find somewhere else to stay so you can view the property first, then it's worth doing that."
Meanwhile, one couple who moved to the UK from India and did not want to be named told BBC Asian Network they were shown a property in London by someone who had pretended online to be the landlord. They lost £1,000 after it emerged the man they met didn't own the property.
They said "it's very easy" for people to "make fools" of people who have recently moved to the UK.
Det Ch Insp Andy Fife, from the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau, said: "It's much harder to be sure of who you are dealing with when you are coming from overseas.
"With property prices being so high, a lot of people are renting and scammers are taking advantage of that.
Source: Action Fraud
"It's difficult to catch some of these scammers because they use fake details including names and addresses and mobile phones that aren't part of a contract. They remove all trace of themselves."
NUS international students' officer Mostafa Rajaai said: "Institutions have to play their role in protecting students who have no knowledge or experience of the UK housing market."
He called for more availability of guarantor schemes for international students which involve universities agreeing to lend students money for rent if they are unable to afford it.
Mr Rajaai continued: "With the vast majority of private providers requiring a UK-based guarantor or six months' rent up front, it is the responsibility of universities and colleges to act as guarantors for international students. By doing this, the risk of exploitation will be significantly reduced."
Chiteisri Devi's university UCL has this advice. Meanwhile, Facebook urges people to report content they believe is "questionable".
The Glenfiddich Collection 1937 fetched £68,500 at the Bonhams Whisky Sale.
Bonhams said it was the highest paid at auction for a bottle of Glenfiddich and a Scottish auction house record for the sale of a single malt.
The bottle was laid down in cask 843 at the Glenfiddich Distillery at Dufftown, Moray, in 1937.
It was bottled 64 years later in 2001.
Auctioneers estimated before the sale the bottle would fetch between £25,000 and £35,000. It was bought by a bidder in the Far East at the whisky sale on Wednesday.
The auction house said it was "highly unusual" for a single malt Scotch whisky of this age to have kept its strength, which is what made the bottle so special.
It is the oldest and rarest bottling ever undertaken at the distillery.
Bonhams Whisky specialist Martin Green said, "The record price reflects the exceptional rarity of the Glenfiddich Rare Collection 1937 and its great appeal to collectors everywhere."
The verdict comes from the World Economic Forum (WEF) which holds an annual meeting of business leaders in Davos in Switzerland each year.
The WEF puts Switzerland at the top of its latest ranking for the eighth year in a row, followed by Singapore and the US, with the UK at seventh.
However, the WEF warns that rising global protectionism is undermining economic growth and prosperity.
"A 10-year decline in the openness of economies at all stages of development poses a risk to countries' ability to grow and innovate," the WEF says.
It explained that the trend, based on a scrutiny of 130 economies, had been gradual and was mainly due "to a rise in non-tariff barriers, although three other factors are also taken into account: burdensome customs procedures; rules affecting FDI [foreign direct investment] and foreign ownership".
The WEF added: "It is most keenly felt in the high and upper middle income economies."
The report warns that attempts by some governments to stave off recession and stimulate economic growth via monetary polices such as quantitative easing have been ineffective.
The UK's Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, said: "Today's report by the World Economic Forum, which ranks Britain as the 7th most competitive country, up from 10th in 2015-16, demonstrates our ability to sharpen our edge and improve our competitiveness," he said.
"This government will build on that progress, as we demonstrate to the world that Britain continues to be highly competitive and open for business."
Until last night. The Islington North MP was the "star turn" (apart from The Hennessys) at the traditional reception for Welsh delegates here in Brighton.
Mr Corbyn got a very warm reception from delegates, who liked what he had to say.
"England has a lot to learn from Wales," he said, praising the way the Welsh government had rejected the internal market in the NHS. "The party has a lot to learn from Wales."
I heard a similar message when I interviewed the new leader on the eve of the conference. We met in his new office at Westminster, which has the air of a work-in-progress - his computer had a hard drive but no monitor and the shelves featured more "congratulations" cards from north London neighbours than books.
We only had a few minutes - he did more than a dozen BBC nations and regions back-to-back - so I decided to touch base on a few issues rather than probe more deeply. You can see his answers here.
Mr Corbyn was well-briefed by Welsh Labour colleagues, whose record in health and education he defended. He mentioned Health Minister Mark Drakeford, the name no Labour leader is allowed to forget.
The unilateralist Labour leader was predictably dismissive of Carwyn Jones's suggestion that Wales would welcome Britain's Trident nuclear weapons system if it were forced out of Scotland.
My colleague James Williams asked the Welsh Labour leader if he saw Mr Corbyn as an asset in next year's elections, The response: "We look forward to welcoming him and the rest of the team to help in advance of 2016. It is a Welsh election. I'll be leading the campaign but of course we're grateful for any support we get from colleagues elsewhere."
Whether supported by "colleagues elsewhere" or not, Welsh Labour will be interested in the suggestion of a "Corbyn bounce" in this YouGov poll for ITV Wales and Cardiff University,
With just 30 minutes of work they believed they could do enough damage to stop the world wide network operating for a couple of days.
They told people about what they found but not in a chat channel or discussion forum. They did it in a much more public place. In the US Senate, in fact. In front of its Committee on Governmental Affairs.
At the time Mr Wysopal and his friends were part of a Boston-based hacker collective called L0pht Heavy Industries. They testified using their hacker handles. Alongside Mr Wysopal (aka Weld Pond) were Mudge, Space Rogue, Brian Oblivion, Kingpin, Tan and Stefan Von Neumann.
It was a pivotal, if surreal, moment. Pivotal because the hacking group, which the committee's chairman described as "rock stars of the computer world", was giving advice rather than being accused of causing trouble.
L0pht had been founded with a view to helping change that perspective, said Mr Wysopal.
"The fact that people were getting found and detected and arrested meant it was real and we did not want to go down that path," he told the BBC.
The L0pht's testimony in the Senate generated headlines around the world. Hackers were no longer considered just unruly kids. They were on their way to becoming the security gurus and guardians they are regarded as today.
It took about 15 years for that shift in perspective to take hold and for the image of hackers as teenage troublemakers to fade.
Mark Abene was one of those teenage hackers. He got started in the early 80s before the net was widespread, before Google was founded and about the time Mark Zuckerberg was born. The connection software he used on his 8-bit TRS 80 home computer came on a cassette tape and he had to dial numbers each time he wanted to make a connection.
When he did connect he frequented places known as Bulletin Board Systems (aka BBS') which at that time were all text-based.
"Initially I was just looking for people with the same computer I had to trade software," he said. "Then I found out about mini-computers and mainframes and got interested in accessing those."
He discovered them because many of the BBS' he visited were repositories of text files that detailed how to dial them up, how to interact with them and how to program them. The files were compiled by others who frequented the boards and were happy to share them with any other visitor.
His interest in security grew as an unintended consequence of the time he spent exploring the US phone network.
"That kind of exploration was kind of like a game, it was a really big adventure," he said. "I had no idea what I was going to find at the end of the carrier and that's what made it more interesting.
"The interest in security was tangential," he added.
"We just wanted to maintain access or improve it and to do that we had to understand the security mechanisms," said Mr Abene. "Not because we thought we would get caught and arrested and get put in jail, but because we didn't want to get noticed. That would have meant they would change the password and we'd lose access and then it would be no fun anymore."
Mr Abene and his friends were not alone in exploring. The hacker sub-culture was growing with the help of 2600 - a magazine which published useful information and, just as importantly, helped organise meetings for like-minded network explorers all around the US.
"It was about connecting people to each other," said Eric Corley, founding editor of 2600, "about finding people that share your interests."
"Getting to know people who know your views and understand them, and helping you realise you are not alone is a good thing," he said.
The ethics of what it meant to be a hacker were also solidified in those days of innocent discovery. And it was innocent not just because in the early 1980s there were no laws in the US or other nations which prohibited unauthorised access to telephone and computer networks.
There was no need, said Mr Abene, as most of the hackers were curious rather than destructive.
"It was never about attacks and never about monetary gain," he said. "The underlying principle was to understand the system and make some kind of logic out of the chaos."
The innocence began to fade in the mid-to-late 80s when laws were passed to tackle those trespassing on computer and phone networks.
Arrests followed and many of those hacking pioneers, including Mr Abene, faced charges for trespassing on the networks where they had previously had free rein.
"We could do anything and go into anywhere," he said. "It was liberating and there will never be a time like that again."
The over-arching ethic of that time has been preserved, said Mr Corley, and has led to a time when those teenagers are now pillars of the establishment. They are helping to keep safe what they once ran rings around. The skills they learned in those dawning days are now in wide demand.
"They have become more mature and responsible because they have to feed their families but they held on to their values and that's an admirable thing," he said. "They profit from their skills but that's not why they started out, that came from their passion for these things."
Mr Cope, an ally of ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy, won 50.03% of the vote, defeating ex-PM Francois Fillon, who polled 49.97%, by just 98 votes.
The final result was delayed for more than 24 hours.
Mr Cope, the UMP secretary general, is on the right of the party, while Mr Fillon is seen as more of a centrist.
Party grandees had urged the two candidates to end their war of words, warning that the UMP had been damaged.
Mr Cope, 48, said he had telephoned Mr Fillon, 58, to ask him to join him at the heart of the UMP "because our opponents are on the left".
"My hands and my arms are wide open," he told supporters after the result was announced.
"It is in that state of mind that I telephoned Francois Fillon this evening, it is in that state of mind that I asked him to join me."
Mr Fillon, speaking after his rival's victory speech, mentioned "many irregularities" in the electoral process but stopped short of rejecting the result.
He also warned of a deepening split in the UMP.
"What strikes me is the rift at the heart of our political camp, a political and moral fracture," he said.
Opinion polls had consistently given Mr Fillon the edge, but initial results on Sunday showed a narrow lead for Mr Cope.
Profile: Jean-Francois Cope
The UMP held the presidency of France for 17 years, until May, when Socialist candidate Francois Hollande defeated Mr Sarkozy's bid for a second term.
The two candidates have different visions for the party.
Mr Cope is considered more right-wing. Last month he produced "A Manifesto for an Uninhibited Right" in which he claimed that gangs in the city suburbs were fostering "anti-white racism".
Mr Fillon is seen as sober and more restrained.
The winner will inherit a party in difficult financial straits, after a series of electoral setbacks over the past five years, culminating in Mr Sarkozy's presidential defeat to Socialist rival Francois Hollande.
Environment body Natural Resources Wales said about 500 fish, including juvenile salmon and adult brown trout, were found in the River Cain near Llansantffraid-ym-Mechan on Friday.
Water samples and tests of the affected fish have been taken to establish the cause.
Jess Poole, of NRW, said there was no obvious signs of pollution and the water appeared clear.
She added it could take several years for fish populations in the river to recover.
Officers are already investigating the cause of a separate incident which killed about 100 fish on Anglesey.
Plans to place the plaque at their former home in the Fosse Andre, in St Peter Port, have been submitted.
John Herbert Le Patourel was a leader in the field of medieval studies, a professor at the University of Leeds and a fellow of the British Academy.
His younger brother Herbert was serving in Tunisia in 1942 when he was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions.
Helen Glencross, secretary to the blue plaque panel, said of John Herbert Le Patourel: "He was an eminent professor in medieval history archivist, he wrote about Guernsey and its history and was also archivist to the Royal Court [of Guernsey] and one of the founding members of the Guernsey Society."
Born in 1909, John Herbert Le Patourel attended Elizabeth College and Jesus College in Oxford before becoming a lecturer.
His most well-known work, The Norman Empire, published in 1976, has been called a major landmark in Anglo-Norman studies.
He also wrote about many aspects of the history of the Channel Islands including flora and fauna as well as political, economic and administrative history.
Herbert Wallace Le Patourel was born in 1916 and after attending Elizabeth College worked in banking for four years, during which time he served as a lieutenant in the Royal Guernsey Militia before joining the regular army.
On 9 March 1943 was awarded the Victoria Cross posthumously for "conspicuous gallantry" after he led four volunteers to silence several machine gun posts, continuing the attack on his own after the others had been killed or injured.
Later on he was found to be alive as a prisoner of war in Italy and he was repatriated in 1943.
Later promoted to Lieutenant Colonel he was given an official welcome to the island in 1948.
A public consultation on the plans runs until 16 January with a decision due to be taken after that date.
Victoria Cross citation
Herbert Wallace Le Patourel, Captain (temporary Major) 2nd Battalion, Hampshire Regiment
"On the afternoon of the 3rd December 1942, the enemy had occupied an important high feature on the left of the company commanded by this officer. Counter attacks by a company of another Battalion and detachments of Major Le Patourel's company had been unable to regain the position.
This officer then personally led four volunteers under heavy fire to the top in a last attempt to dislodge several enemy machine guns. The party was then heavily engaged by machine gun fire, and Major Le Patourel rallied his men several times and engaged the enemy, silencing several machine-gun posts.
Finally, when the remainder of his party were all killed or wounded, he went forward alone with a pistol and some grenades to attack enemy machine guns at close quarters and from this action did not return. From reports received from wounded men, this officer died of wounds.
Major Le Patourel's most gallant conduct and self sacrifice, his brilliant leadership and tenacious devotion to duty in the face of a determined enemy were beyond praise."
Known for walking around with his trademark prayer beads and a stick, he was reputed to be one of the world's most eccentric and ruthless leaders.
Born in May 1965, he came to power in 1994 as a 29-year-old army lieutenant in a country portrayed in tourist brochures as an idyllic holiday destination.
He became a portly president who portrays himself as a devout Muslim with miraculous powers, such as the power to cure people of Aids and infertility. He also believes that homosexuality threatens human existence.
Mr Jammeh divorced his first wife Tuti Faal and subsequently married two other women, though his official website refers only to Zineb Yahya Jammeh, who holds the title of First Lady.
According to The Gambia's privately owned Point newspaper, he married his second wife, Alima Sallah, in 2010, but Mr Jammeh's office issued an instruction that she should not be referred to as First Lady - in contrast to South Africa where all four wives of President Jacob Zuma hold the title.
"She is not to be addressed as the First Lady because, according to protocol, there can only be one First Lady and, in this case, that is Madam Zineb Yahya Jammeh," the newspaper quoted the presidency as saying.
Mr Jammeh won four multi-party elections before he was finally defeated.
After his 2011 victory, in a sign that his credibility among African leaders had plummeted, the regional body, the Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas), refused to endorse his victory, saying voters and the opposition had been "cowed by repression and intimidation".
His decision to withdraw from the Commonwealth in 2013, which had been pushing for reforms in the tiny West African state, was a further sign of Mr Jammeh's growing isolation.
In an interview in 2011 with the BBC's Focus on Africa radio programme, Mr Jammeh said he did not fear a fate similar to Libya's killed leader Muammar Gaddafi or Egypt's ousted President Hosni Mubarak.
"My fate is in the hands of almighty Allah," he told the BBC.
"I will deliver to the Gambian people and if I have to rule this country for one billion years, I will, if Allah says so."
Mr Jammeh said he was not bothered by the criticism of human rights groups.
"I will not bow down before anybody, except the almighty Allah and if they don't like that they can go to hell," he said.
Mr Jammeh is known for expressing bizarre views. In 2007, he claimed that he could cure Aids with a herbal concoction - a view condemned by health experts.
Later, he also claimed that he could cure infertility among women.
Mr Jammeh is also known for his virulent opposition to gay rights, having once threatened to behead gay people.
In a 2014 address to the UN General Assembly, Mr Jammeh lamented that Western governments were pushing for homosexuality to be legalised.
"Homosexuality in all its forms and manifestations which, though very evil, anti-human as well as anti-Allah, is being promoted as a human right by some powers," he said.
The Gambian government's treatment of journalists and opposition parties has also caused huge concern among human rights groups.
Mr Jammeh's government has been under intense pressure to solve the murder of the editor of The Point newspaper, Deyda Hydara.
Gunned down in 2004, he has become a symbol of the campaign for press freedom in The Gambia.
The international media group Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said there was "absolute intolerance of any form of criticism" in The Gambia, with death threats, surveillance and arbitrary night-time arrests of journalists "who do not sing the government's praises".
In the BBC interview, Mr Jammeh denied his security agents had killed Mr Hydara.
"Other people have also died in this country. So why is Deyda Hydara so special?" he said.
In August 2013, Mr Jammeh used a speech to celebrate the Muslim festival of Eid to announce that all prisoners on death row would be executed, effectively ending a moratorium that had been in place for 27 years.
"There is no way my government will allow 99% of the population to be held to ransom by criminals," Mr Jammeh said at the time.
Nine people were executed, including Alieu Bah, a former lieutenant in the army who was arrested and jailed in 1997 for plotting to oust Mr Jammeh.
He agreed to halt further executions, following unprecedented pressure from the African Union (AU) and the European Union (EU).
His defeat came as a huge surprise, given that he ran one of the most feared intelligence agencies in Africa, with its tentacles spread across the country - so much so that until the election, people in cities and villages feared speaking ill of the man who is officially referred to as his "His Excellency Sheikh Professor Alhaji Doctor Yahya AJJ Jammeh Babili Mansa".
In 2015, he added the title "Babili Mansa" - a Mandinka-language honorific which can be translated as "chief bridge builder" or "conqueror of rivers".
The Volkswagen Golf was carrying a group of young people when it crashed at 00:20 BST, police said.
Five were airlifted from the scene, near the Lizard, Cornwall, while four were taken to hospital by ambulance.
Police have appealed for witnesses to the crash, near Goonhilly Earth Station.
Brian Howard, 36, has been charged with one count of destruction of aircraft or aircraft facilities in connection with the fire in the building's basement.
Mr Howard was found with burns and self-inflicted wounds. Investigators say he used petrol to light the blaze.
By Friday afternoon flights in and out of the airports were slowly resuming.
More than 850 flights were cancelled in Chicago alone and many already in the air were redirected.
In a statement, the FBI said Mr Howard was charged on Friday but remained in hospital recovering from his injuries. No court date has been scheduled.
"We believe he set the fire and he used some kind of accelerant," Aurora Police Chief Greg Thomas said in a news conference on Friday.
The building was damaged by the fire and the water used to extinguish the blaze.
Officials said they did not yet have a possible motive for the act but said Mr Howard was a contractor for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and was authorised to be in the building. He had no ties to terrorism.
The fire broke out just before 06:00 local time (11:00 GMT) on Friday morning in the Aurora, Illinois, air traffic control building, 40 miles west (64km) of Chicago.
Air traffic control officials said the radio frequencies with which they worked went dead and the control system was immediately shifted to a back-up system, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Workers used the back-up system until they were forced to evacuate.
"The [radio] frequency failed," a unnamed controller told the newspaper. "Depending on how bad the fire was, it could be a real mess getting things back to normal."
One man was treated for smoke inhalation at the scene but no-one else was injured.
FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Cory said management of the region's airspace was transferred to another facility as the Aurora centre was evacuated.
By Friday afternoon, flights already on their way to Chicago were allowed to continue but landed at a slower pace.
Flights were taking off at a slower rate as well and air safety officials said they did not know when full service would be restored.
When Saddam Hussein built the dam three decades ago, it was meant to serve as a symbol of his leadership and Iraq's strength.
The dam is the latest key strategic battleground in northern Iraq between militants from Islamic State (IS), who took it on 7 August, and Kurdish and Iraqi forces supported by American airpower.
Located on the River Tigris about 50km (30 miles) upstream from the city of Mosul, the dam controls the water and power supply to a large surrounding area in northern Iraq.
Its generators can produce 1010 megawatts of electricity, according to the website of the Iraqi State Commission for Dams and Reservoirs.
The structure also holds back over 12 billion cubic metres of water that are crucial for irrigation in the farming areas of Iraq's western Nineveh province.
However, since its completion in the 1980s, the dam has required regular maintenance involving injections of cement on areas of leakage.
The US government has invested more than $30m (£17.9m) on monitoring and repairs, working together with Iraqi teams.
In 2007, the then commanding general of US forces in Iraq, David Petraeus, and the then US ambassador to Iraq, Ryan Crocker, warned Iraq's PM Nouri Maliki that the structure was highly dangerous because it was built on unstable soil foundation.
"A catastrophic failure of Mosul dam would result in flooding along the Tigris river all the way to Baghdad," they said in a letter.
"Assuming a worst-case scenario, an instantaneous failure of Mosul dam filled to its maximum operating level could result in a flood wave 20 metres (65.5ft) deep at the city of Mosul," it said.
Writing to Congress, President Obama cited the potentially massive loss of civilian life and the possible threat to the US embassy in Baghdad.
Those dangers, he wrote, were sufficient reasons for deploying air power to support Kurdish forces trying to recapture the dam.
Relief in Washington and Baghdad will only come when IS militants, who have sought control of water resources before, have been stopped from using the dam as an instrument of war.
The deployment of air power by the US in support of Kurdish forces has shown how seriously the White House takes the potential threat posed by IS control of the dam.
The Fallujah dam, in the Nuamiyah area of the city, in Iraq's western Anbar province, fell under IS control in February.
However, the group has so far failed in its attempts to capture the Haditha dam, Iraq's second largest, from the army.
The 8km-long Haditha dam and its hydro-electrical facility, located to the north-west of Baghdad, supply 30% of Iraq's electricity. Securing it was one of the first objectives of US special forces invading Iraq in 2003.
With the Mosul dam in its hands, the concern is that Islamic State could "flood farmland and disrupt drinking water supplies, like it did with a smaller dam near Fallujah this spring," wrote Keith Johnson in an article for Foreign Policy last month.
In May, a flood displaced an estimated 40,000 people between Fallujah and Abu Ghraib.
Earlier this month, IS militants reportedly closed eight of the Fallujah dam's 10 lock gates that control the river flow, flooding land up the Euphrates river and reducing water levels in Iraq's southern provinces, through which the river passes.
Many families were forced from their homes and troops were prevented from deploying, Iraqi security officials said.
Reports say the militants have now re-opened five of the dam's gates to relieve some pressure, fearing their strategy might backfire if their stronghold of Fallujah flooded.
In the days after they took over the Mosul dam, militants were reportedly blackmailing frightened workers to either keep the facility going or lose their pay.
Analysts fear the Islamic State could now use the dam as leverage against the new Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, by holding on to the territory around it in return for continued water and power supply.
The group already controls other key national assets - several oil and gas fields in western Iraq and Syria.
"These extremists are not just mad," says Salman Shaikh, director of the Brookings Institution's Doha Centre in Qatar.
"There's a method in their madness. They've managed to amass cash and natural resources, both oil and water, the two most important things. And of course, they're going to use those as a way of continuing to grow and strengthen."
The group had been due to play on Saturday night in Pula, Croatia, where Parfitt, 65, is now in hospital receiving treatment.
No details have been given, but band manager Simon Porter said Status Quo did not "cancel shows lightly".
"In this instance we have no option but to follow medical advice," he said.
Parfitt had a quadruple heart bypass in 1997 after doctors said he was in danger of dying as a result of his lifestyle.
After surgery, Parfitt said he was not planning on becoming a "born-again Christian" and would still have the "odd pint".
His latest illness has forced the band to cancel dates in Monte Carlo, Switzerland and Germany up to 10 August.
There was no immediate word on whether Quo's UK tour dates later this month and in December would be affected.
The band have recorded 64 British hit singles since 1968, more than any other band.
Their hits have included Down, Down, Rockin' All Over the World, Whatever You Want and In The Army Now.
Parfitt and long-time band partner, Francis Rossi, were invested as OBEs by the Queen in 2010.

When Hibs host their Championship rivals, and fellow feel-good story, Dundee United on Friday night the 'house full' sign will hang proudly on the gate. More than 20,000 will be there, a number that will drive Hibs' average home attendance in the league this season north of the current figure of 14,857.
That's worth pondering for a second. It's 5,566 more than Hibs' average home crowd last season or, put another way, an increase of 60%. Sure, the campaign is only halfway through but we're supposed to be living in straitened times for football fans, we're supposed to be disillusioned with the state of the game, the cost of it, the quality of it, the administration of it.
Hibs are not so much bucking the trend as taking the trend, rolling it into a ball and volleying it ferociously into the night-time sky. Their average attendance so far this season is their highest since 1972-73 and their third highest since 1960-61.
Their crowds against Raith Rovers and Ayr this season were bigger than the number who turned up for the last top-flight Edinburgh derby in 2014. They drew more for Dumbarton and Queen of the South than they did for a game against Celtic in their last season in the Premiership. The last time Hibs hosted Dundee United in the top division, only 9,608 turned up. Now, in the division below, the number is doubling.
The glory of the Scottish Cup win is part of it, the thrill of a title chase is another. Neil Lennon's team have the ambition of a top-six Premiership side and the budget to match. They have to go up, purely and simply. Lennon has one job - promotion - and the masses are rallying to the cause in a very significant way.
The fact that they have a large financial advantage over Ray McKinnon's United and yet hold just a single-point lead must be a source of frustration. United don't look like they're going away anytime soon. If the return of the Hibs crowd is an extraordinary story then McKinnon's work in rebuilding United from the dog days of last season is another.
Last May, United were an unholy mess. A team had been relegated and needed dismantling. A manager had been sacked and needed replacing. A support had been alienated and needed to know that things were going to change. Not many believed it - or believed in Stephen Thompson, the chairman. There was bitterness in the air. For their last home of the game season, United played Partick Thistle. They couldn't even get 5,000 through the gate.
United's average crowd has fallen this season, but by nowhere near the levels people might have thought back in May. With the Dundee derbies bringing in more than 11,000 a pop and Celtic and Aberdeen bringing in 10,000, give or take, their average attendance in 2015-16 was 7,969.
Now it's 7,124 - a fall, yes, but a soft one compared to the resounding thud that was predicted by so many at the end of last season. McKinnon hasn't just been a fine football manager, he's been akin to King Canute, turning back the Tannadice tide of doom and gloom.
McKinnon has transformed last season's sieve-like defence into something a whole lot more robust, he's brought bite and order to his midfield and in Tony Andreu, he's brought in a reliable goalscorer. He's also galvanised some of the broken men from 2016. They're doing it in a lesser league, of course, but given the calamity he inherited, McKinnon has done a wonderful job.
He's signed well, either permanent deals or loans - and he's had to. He couldn't afford to make too many mistakes in the reconstruction of his team. Of the United team that beat Hibs 1-0 in the league in December, six of them were McKinnon signings and most of them had one thing in common - experience.
Andreu is 28, William Edjenguele is 29, Cammy Bell is 30, Willo Flood is 31, Nick van der Velden is 35. Also, Frank van der Struijk, 31, helped bolster the United defence in the early months of the season, before injury took him out. The rearguard has been their rock. They've conceded just three goals in their last 10 games.
There's been personnel change at Easter Road, too, but nowhere near as much. Lennon hasn't had a lot of luck with injuries but he's in the fortunate position of being able to recruit at a higher level than McKinnon.
The prime example of that is Kris Commons coming in on loan - with the possibility of a permanent deal.
Commons was magnificent for Lennon at Celtic and though he can't yet be match fit after so long on the Parkhead sidelines, he's already had an impact. A goal and an assist last weekend got Hibs over the line against Falkirk. Commons - a creative machine on his best form - could be the pivotal capture of the Championship season.
Friday won't be decisive, but it'll be stirring. Potentially one of the games - and atmospheres - of the season.
Warriors claimed a deserved victory at the home of last season's finalists, with tries from Alex Dunbar and Ali Price and 13 points from Finn Russell.
It boosts hopes of qualifying for the first time, in Townsend's final season.
"It's got to be the next best [result] after the Pro12 final," he said.
"The final was a stand-out - the guys delivered in a game that really counted for something.
"Today counted for a lot, the opposition was outstanding and they delivered.
"We have played some cracking games in Europe - Bath (in 2014) and Leicester (this year) stand out - but to come over here, where I'm told they have not lost for two years in Europe, they had their full team out, and given we lost by a big score here last year, shows what this team is capable of."
Racing began in ominous fashion, Juan Imhoff's try rounding off a period of intense pressure as the visitors were forced onto the back foot.
But the response to that early setback pleased Townsend as his men prevented Racing from registering a single point for over an hour after that early score.
"After their first try, the way we played after that was great," the former Scotland fly-half, who will succeed Vern Cotter as national coach next summer, told BBC Scotland.
"We took them on with ball in hand and we also fronted up defensively.
"They've got some brilliant attacking players - obviously (former Glasgow lock) Leone Nakarawa we know well, Dan Carter, (Juan) Imhoff - so we knew the game would be open. We had to take our opportunities, which we did, and then we had to defend really well, which we certainly did in the second half.
"Maybe the (Imhoff) try, which was probably our only poor bit of defence throughout the game, got the guys more focused. Sometimes it works like that.
"Defence is a lot to do with mindset, your desire to get up and hit, to pull width so you're working hard and filling the space. We had a lot of really good tackles today with Simone Favaro and Rob Harley leading the way there."
An intriguing sub-plot was the battle of the number 10s - the All Blacks legend Dan Carter versus Scotland's creative fulcrum Finn Russell.
Carter produced a moment of brilliance late on, showing wonderful footwork to dance away from a couple of tackles to score, but it was Russell who left the greater impression on the match.
"He loves the big games, Finn," explained Townsend. "You can just tell he's in his element when he's playing Test matches, playing the highest games in Europe and that was obviously a massive game.
"He was very confident in his decisions when to pass the ball. There are still some things to work on. We'll probably sit down and look at the video of a couple of his offloads on Monday afternoon. But he also works really hard in defence.
"He's a 10 that will put the tackles in. As an all-round game I thought Finn did very well."
With Munster top of Pool One, having played a game fewer than Glasgow, Townsend is fully aware his men cannot afford to bask in the glory of this famous win for too long.
They face Racing again at Scotstoun on Friday, and Townsend says with the French champions in the position of simply having to win to keep their hopes of progression alive, they will be a dangerous proposition.
"We're at the halfway stage. We've had two really good wins, two really good performances and a poor performance in there against Munster.
"Munster are now looking like one of the best teams in Europe. They've been on fire the last few weeks. We've got to play them again at Scotstoun [on 13 January].
"Racing will be better next week, they'll know more about us. They'll throw everything at us as well. It might be their last chance of staying in the pool, and if we can get through that into those games in January with a chance of qualifying, then that would be great for this group."
Five scores came in a frenetic first half as Tommy Taylor, Elliot Daly, Jake Cooper-Woolley, Matt Symons and Christian Wade all touched down.
Ashley Johnson bagged a brace after the break, while Danny Cipriani went over to add to Wade and Daly tries.
Bristol improved and got three second-half scores, with Jack Lam, Mitch Eadie and Gaston Cortes all going over.
Cipriani's try was his first since re-joining Wasps from Sale this summer, the England international running in from 50 metres as the Coventry-based side moved to third in the Premiership table, behind leaders Bath and champions Saracens on points difference only.
Dai Young's side needed to win by a 56-point margin to go top of the Premiership, but have won their first three league games for the first time since 2009-10 to keep pace with the top two.
Victory extends their winning run at the Ricoh Arena to 11 matches, stretching back to December 2015.
For Andy Robinson's Bristol it was a third successive defeat following their promotion to the top flight and they remain bottom, although they finished the game just a try away from a bonus point.
Wasps director of rugby Dai Young: "I would have settled for that before the game began, and 14 out of 15 points is a real good start for us.
"The test was to keep our focus and I'm pleased that we did as we had a bonus point in the bag by half-time.
"We haven't produced an 80-minute performance or a perfect performance as we got a bit messy at times today."
Bristol director of rugby Andy Robinson: "We can't afford to make as many errors as we do. Premiership sides are very efficient.
"You need to look after the ball a lot better and we made a number of disappointing decisions defensively, as we gave them too much space on the outside.
"We know we are going to get days like this but if we work hard, we'll be able to turn it round as our endeavour to get a bonus point was good."

Play was delayed until mid-afternoon and Derbyshire began steadily before Hamish Rutherford (68) was dismissed.
Wayne Madsen fell lbw shortly after to Graham Napier (1-59).
Opener Chesney Hughes however (66 not out) remained firm, thrashing spinner Dan Lawrence for six, before both sides shook hands for the draw with Derbyshire on 261-4.

Members of the party will meet next week for their final conference before the Scottish election on 5 May.
But the UK party leader will not appear, with a spokesman telling BBC Scotland they want the focus to be on Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale.
Mr Corbyn did speak at the Scottish Labour conference in October.
Last week, Prime Minister David Cameron addressed the Scottish Conservative conference in Edinburgh.
And the week before, Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron appeared at his party's Scottish conference .
Earlier this week, Former MSP Lord Foulkes wrote to Mr Corbyn alleging speakers at a "Jeremy Corbyn for PM" event in Edinburgh praised the SNP and failed to mention Ms Dugdale.
In the letter, Lord Foulkes wrote: "For those of us fighting hard in the Scottish Parliament election campaign it is enough to make us burst into tears that such clowns are undermining our campaign in your name."
He called for the Labour leader to give assurances he will raise concerns with those involved.

Councils are heavily dependent on the Scottish government for their money - to say no at this stage, with no prospect of a significantly better offer, would plunge them into crisis.
But this year's budget offer has strained relations badly between non-SNP councils and the Scottish government.
The immediate concern is straightforward. Many councils argue they will receive less than they had anticipated so are now contemplating bigger cuts and savings than they had forecast.
The government offer, as ever, includes money to compensate councils for not putting up the council tax.
The government points to research which demonstrates that, if anything, councils have been over-compensated for freezing the council tax which last went up in 2007.
However, this is only one portion of a complex equation. What really matters to councils is the overall amount they get from the government and how much control they have over their finances.
Councils say they will get less in absolute terms in the coming year - Cosla talks of £350m of cuts - and many say the reduction is worse than anticipated.
One council, Moray, proposed an 18% rise in council tax. It said the rise needed to be that big to balance out the loss of the government money to compensate them for the council tax freeze and balance out the impact of other cuts.
A few other councils, including Highland and Fife, seriously explored the possibility of raising council tax.
In 2011 the SNP promised to freeze the council tax until this year - they argue the freeze has been a popular policy and believe it has been a real help to family budgets.
Sceptics have always noted that the biggest savings - in absolute terms - were made by people who live in large houses who may not make much use personally of council services. The government's own poverty adviser recently acknowledged this debate.
Faced with the realistic possibility of a few increases, the government toughened up its carrot and stick approach - a rise would have left councils losing some other government money too. Moray took its proposed rise off the table.
A number of councils will decide how they actually spend their money a little later than usual this year, to give themselves more time to find possible options for cuts and savings.
As ever, one question is over how many of these options will mean cuts which are immediately obvious to the public. Or, will there be more so-called stealth cuts which may only be felt by staff and anyone immediately affected?
There are, of course, also genuine arguments over potential efficiency savings and some may even wonder whether there are services currently provided by some councils which could actually be better left to the private sector.
However, these are long term, underlying issues - the need to balance budgets is an immediate one.
In the coming Scottish election, local services and how councils are funded is likely to become a major issue.
Labour has proposed raising income tax to balance out the cuts councils are now facing.
The underlying question though is about how much control of their finances councils should have and whether the council tax should be reformed or replaced.
Proposals from all the main parties are expected in the coming weeks.
Some in local government would be very disappointed if the proposals only looked at whether the small portion of their finances which comes from the council tax could be raised in a different way and if the parties did not address the question of whether councils should also have more financial freedom.
A report produced for Cosla in 2014 argued that to strengthen local democracy, communities had to be in a position to determine what kind of services they wanted and how much they were prepared to pay for them.
While the council tax freeze will almost certainly continue this year, the Scottish government's critics will argue it has been at a high cost - both to council services and the relationship between some councils and the Scottish government.
The Scottish government will argue it has tried to do its best for councils in difficult circumstances and protected them from the worst of what it calls Westminster cuts. | It would be astounding if any council actually rejected the Scottish government's funding offer. | 35,527,174 | 847 | 19 | false |

Centre Huw Jones scored two first-half tries for the Scots, either side of Reece Hodge's stunning Wallabies score.
Jonny Gray drove over after the break for Scotland's third try, with Bernard Foley kicking two penalties.
With Australia trailing by six points, giant centre Kuridrani powered through to score under the posts, Foley converting to deny Scotland.
The hosts had a fantastic aggression and intensity about them from the get-go, but they had ambition and accuracy in attack to match. Greig Laidlaw booted them into an early lead and that advantage stretched from three points to 10 soon after.

Jones' opening try was a belter from a player in only his second Test and his first at Murrayfield. It was precise and clinical, with the immense Richie Gray taking the ball off the top of a line-out to start it all off and Finn Russell dinking a delicious chip over the Australia defence to carry it on.
Russell's kick was pin-sharp, as was the timing of Jones' run. He gathered and ran all the way to the posts.
The Wallabies struck back in the 13th minute, scoring a one-phase, set-piece beauty of their own. The visitors were all about deception and wraparound running, with Foley and Dane Haylett-Petty cutting Scotland open for Hodge to go over. Foley converted and then added a penalty to make it 10-10.
Scotland came again and grew stronger. Their second try was just before the half-hour mark and it was another delightful score that spoke to their wit and imagination. Tim Visser galloped up the left wing, then Russell had a pop and, when taking contact, he kept play alive with a sumptuous offload to Richie Gray.
It was high-class stuff at pace and it was too much for the Aussies, with Jones eluding two tacklers to score near the posts. Laidlaw's conversion made it 17-10 at the break.
Murrayfield was raucous, the old place coming alive again when Scotland scored for a third time four minutes into the new half. Foley's penalty had narrowed the gap to 17-13 but Jonny Gray's try made it 22-13.
Off a retreating scrum, Stuart Hogg darted around the corner to stretch the Aussie defence. When it came back inside, Gray got on the ball, his older brother behind him, and drove remorselessly for the line.
Foley's boot narrowed the lead to 22-16 and the Wallabies were asking questions with more regularity. Scotland had two coltish props - Allan Dell making his debut and Zander Ferguson making just his second appearance - and both stood up brilliantly. The Grays, Barclay and Hamish Watson made tackle after tackle.
Eventually, Scotland broke. Australia were down to 14 men at the time - Will Skelton sin-binned - but they turned the screw regardless. Waves of Wallaby pressure put too much heat on their defence and when a chink appeared in the line, Kuridrani powered through it.
Foley landed the killer blow with the boot, just as he had done in that epic World Cup quarter-final last year.
Even then, though, Scotland mounted phase after phase in the last play of the match, furiously trying to engineer a penalty or the field position for a drop-goal. They couldn't do it. An epic match, a monstrously good Scottish performance and a heartbreaking endgame.

The 30-year-old shook off fellow Kenyan Emmanuel Mutai with just under three miles remaining to become the first man to run a marathon in less than two hours and three minutes.
Mutai, who finished second in 2:03:13, also broke the previous record.
"I feel good because I won a very tough race," said Kimetto.
"I felt good from the start and in the last few miles I felt I could do it and break the record."
The previous world record had been set on the same course 12 months ago by Kimetto's compatriot Wilson Kipsang, who ran 2:03:23.
Kimetto, who won marathons in Tokyo and Chicago last year, had promised to attack the record in Berlin if conditions allowed.
And in weather perfect for long-distance running, with temperatures around eight degrees centigrade, Kimetto kept his promise, staying in the lead group throughout and sprinting to victory and a new world's best time.
Mutai, meanwhile, believes a two-hour marathon is possible.
"From what I saw today, times are coming down and down. So if not today, then tomorrow," the 29-year-old Kenyan said. "Maybe next time we'll get 2:01."

"It's been a long, tough road but all the hard work has paid off thanks to the support from friends and family, my coach Martin Barker all the staff at British Shooting and my girlfriend."

The four-wicket win, achieved by their third-ever biggest run chase as they piled up 401-6 on the final day, lifted them above Kent into second place.
But it also ended an untimely hiccup after their winning start to 2017.
"At one stage we were winning all the time and that doesn't last," he said.
"But we are mature enough to understand that we were not going to go through seasons in the vein that we were doing.
"We did have a couple of tough games in the Championship (against Sussex and Glamorgan), albeit games where we played well in spells.
"But we just came up against some good teams who at times played better than us. Then no-one wants to lose in a semi-final."
Worcestershire went into Monday's four-day game with second-placed Kent less than 48 hours after being hammered by Gareth Batty's Surrey in the One-Day Cup semi-final.
Coming off two Championship defeats and the jolt of Tom Kohler-Cadmore's perhaps unnecessarily abrupt departure to Yorkshire, there was concern that Worcestershire's season was about to fall apart.
"To get back on the right tracks with a victory here was really important," added Rhodes. "There has been a lot of talk of the team on a high, but then on a slide.
"Hopefully this will just show people we are very determined to make sure we see the season through."

A price for the Russian gas was not agreed on Tuesday, but analysts say a deal could still be struck before Mr Putin leaves China on Wednesday.
Mr Putin described China as a reliable friend and Russia's leading foreign trading partner.
It is his first visit to China since President Xi Jinping took office.
The state visit comes as China hosts a key summit of Asian states in Shanghai that includes delegates from nearly 40 countries and international organisations.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is attending, as are the leaders of Iran, Pakistan, Kazakhstan and Cambodia. President Xi is expected to make announcements on security in Asia at the summit.
The welcoming ceremony for President Putin was full of upbeat language. He described China as a reliable friend and Xi Jinping promised strategic co-operation.
To underline the point, there were joint naval exercises. But the Russians had raised expectations of the signing of a lucrative 30-year deal to supply natural gas to China. The energy giant Gazprom said they were incredibly close to agreement but clearly the Chinese are driving a hard bargain on price.
The government in Beijing is well aware that after the chill in relations with Europe that followed the Ukraine crisis, Moscow needs to stop depending on the west for 80% of its energy sales. And China does need more and cleaner energy.
But a long history of falling into and out of alliances with Moscow has taught Beijing to keep a hard-nosed focus on its own national interest. It knows Russia needs a friend in the East and it is extracting maximum advantage.
In an interview with Chinese media before his arrival, Mr Putin called China "Russia's reliable friend" and said the two countries had reached a new stage in bilateral and military ties.
"It would be no exaggeration if I said that the co-operation between our two countries is at its highest level in history," the Russian leader said.
Russia and China have also kicked off a joint military exercise involving their navies.
China is Russia's largest single trading partner, with bilateral trade flows of $90bn (£53bn) in 2013, and the two neighbours aim to double the volume to $200bn by the end of the decade, according to agencies.
Expectations are high that the visit would seal a contract under which Russia's state-owned Gazprom would supply China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC) with natural gas for the next 30 years.
Russia has faced international condemnation for its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine. Russia has also deployed troops near the border of Ukraine, sparking concerns about a possible invasion.
For its part, China has attracted criticism for recent actions in the South China Sea.
China's refusal to move an oil rig stationed in waters claimed by Hanoi sparked an outbreak of protests across Vietnam last week, with demonstrators targeting Chinese workers and Chinese-owned factories. At least two deaths have been reported.
The Philippines has also accused China of building an airstrip on the disputed Johnson Reef.
Kieren Church, 30, and of no fixed address, was tackled by a security guard in Trowbridge's Shires shopping centre car park on Thursday.
He suffered serious injury and died of a cardiac arrest, police said. A 20-year-old man, arrested on suspicion of manslaughter was bailed until May.
Mr Church's family said he was a much-loved son, brother and grandson.
"He will be sadly missed," they said.
Relatives of some of the 21 people killed in the bombings have compiled a dossier of their case, which is being read by David Cameron.
Nearly 40 years after the attack, the family of one of the victims, Maxine Hambleton, are campaigning for the case to be reopened.
A spokesperson for the prime minister confirmed he had received the report.
The bombings took place at two pubs - The Mulberry Bush and the Tavern in the Town - on 21 November 1974.
Miss Hambleton, described as "kind, full of life and funny" by her family, had gone to the Tavern in the Town on the night of the attack, which left 182 people injured.
It is still not known who was behind the bombings.
Six men from Northern Ireland, known as the Birmingham Six, who were convicted of the attack in 1975, were freed by the Court of Appeal in 1991, after their convictions were ruled unsafe.
Now the family of Miss Hambleton, who was 18 when she died, are working together with one of the Birmingham Six, Paddy Hill, to campaign for the case to be reopened.
"If [the police] did everything that was humanly possible, how come the perpetrators are still out there with their liberty?" said Julie Hambleton, Maxine's sister.
"It's very very hard... I'm stuck in a kind of limbo," added her brother Brian. "I've always had the sense that the people in power thought we would go away.
"But we are still here and we won't go away. I will be fighting this until the day I die."
The Hambletons have met Northern Ireland First Minister Peter Robinson, who passed their dossier to David Cameron earlier this year.
He told the BBC: "There's every reason there should be an investigation."
Evidence is also being reviewed by the West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit. A previous police investigation closed in 1994, with no prosecutions.
Marcus Beale, assistant chief constable, said: "We have been gathering together all the material from the investigations in 1974, the latter investigations in the late 80s and the further work that was done in the 90s by West Midlands Police.
"We'll go with reinvestigating if that's the right thing to do."
Irons had been telling an anecdote about younger actors and used a word that Ofcom said audiences considered "among the most offensive language".
In its ruling, Ofcom noted Chris Evans apologised immediately after the incident, broadcast on 18 March.
Irons also apologised. The BBC had warned him about swearing beforehand.
The watchdog said it now considered the matter resolved.
After Irons used the expletive, Evans responded immediately by saying: "You can't say that, I apologise on your behalf."
Irons also said sorry straight away, adding that he had sworn because he felt "so relaxed" in the studio.
"I am most terribly sorry if anyone is offended, or their children. I'm so embarrassed, I can't talk," he said.
The regulator said it had received one complaint from a listener who said the language was inappropriate and should not have been broadcast at a time when children were likely to be listening.
The Breakfast Show runs from 0630 to 0930 on weekdays.
In response to Ofcom's investigation, the BBC said it accepted the language was inappropriate and apologised for any offence caused.
The corporation said the actor had been "given a full face-to-face briefing on arrival" at the Radio 2 studio, despite a risk assessment concluding that the actor was unlikely to use inappropriate language.
He was told there was potential for children listening and that "he needed to moderate his language and stories accordingly".
The BBC added: "Jeremy Irons, clearly mortified by his mistake, [apologised] without hesitation."
Radio 2 has now reinforced its policy to limit offensive language by sending a warning email to guests' agents and representatives in advance of interviews to remind them of the rules.
The Chris Evans show currently has around 9.7 million listeners in the UK.
When it announced its plan to review where to have its headquarters, it made passing references to "regulatory and structural reforms" and the UK's plans to "ring fence" retail banks.
Some shareholders think a higher dividend would be available if the bank moved from London to a city with lower taxes and looser capital controls, according to people close to the lender.
It pays the most out of the UK's lenders on the banking levy, handing over $1.1bn (£716m) to Britain's Treasury last year.
But if it does decide to move, where could it go?
The challenges for the bank include finding a city with a skilled regulator which will welcome them, a stable business environment and preferably a location with clients and bankers to hire.
Further down the wish list for HSBC - but not for any employees it may need to move - will be a city with good schools and cultural amusements.
"It's a no brainer, it has to be Hong Kong," says Chirantan Barua, senior analyst for UK banks at Bernstein Research.
"The Hong Kong regulator leads the world in macroprudential (economy-wide) regulation...what the Bank of England has rolled out in UK mortgages is a leaf out of the HK rule book."
One worry is the size of Hong Kong's economy compared with the size of HSBC and how it could support the bank if there was another financial crisis.
But both the local regulator, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), and Mr Barua think this is less of a concern than it was before.
"After the global financial crisis, there is generally consensus internationally that public funds should not be used to rescue financial institutions in distress," HKMA said in an email to the BBC.
Regulators are working towards a situation where a bank can be dismantled without threat to the global economy, should it go bust, it said. The bank has never burned through more than about one-sixth of its capital safety buffer in any crisis, estimates Mr Barua.
The monetary authority says it "takes a positive attitude should HSBC consider relocating its headquarters back to Hong Kong."
The bank itself declined to comment further.
Large market for HSBC

On the other hand, says Peter Hahn, senior lecturer at Cass Business School, the lender could be better served by looking elsewhere. "They have a sizeable footprint in the US, they have to be there for big corporations."
In 2012 the bank paid $1.9bn to US regulators in a settlement over breaching money laundering regulations. But any bank that wants access to dollars - and HSBC does - needs to keep US regulators sweet.
A move to Hong Kong could make the bank more vulnerable to the state interference they seek to avoid, he says.
Part of the question is whether HSBC is leaving the UK for Hong Kong or returning there.
Inside the EU should the UK decide to leave
Large pool of corporations with which to do business
But:
Smaller areas of business than Hong Kong or London
Similar financial rules, potentially tougher on pay
The Hong Kong in which HSBC was founded in 1865 was under British rule, as was the Hong Kong HSBC left as a headquarters in 1993 to move to London.
The territory is now is a special administrative region of China, which agreed to give the territory a high degree of autonomy and to preserve its economic and social systems for 50 years from the handover in 1997.
"The trade-off is when China tells its banks to lend more, will HSBC have to lend more? The answer is probably yes," says Mr Hahn.
For him, Switzerland, a traditional home for banking, could be out because of the country's efforts to make their banks safer and reduce the risk to the government of them failing. That, he says, probably means repelling large newcomers.
"If [HSBC chiefs] Douglas Flint and Stuart Gulliver got on a jet and said they were moving to Switzerland, Swiss national bank governor Thomas Jordan would be stood on the runway with a shotgun telling them to get back on the plane," he jokes.
A traditional home for banking
Large pool of bankers to hire
But:
Swiss regulators demand banks hold more capital as a safety net, which is more expensive
Private banking is a smaller (and shrinking) area of business for HSBC
Ismail Erturk, senior lecturer at Manchester Business School, says fewer connections to the political establishment in the US could rule it out. Whereas in Hong Kong, the bank could be central to Chinese efforts to increase the world's use of its currency, the renminbi.
A base in France could be thwarted if the lender needed help and the government had to choose between saving historically French lenders and a newcomer, he adds.
So, back to London?
Other than taxes and levies, the government's ring fencing plan may be the bone of contention for HSBC that everyone's forgetting, says Dalvinder Singh, professor of financial regulation at the University of Warwick.
"HSBC has not liked what the government has done on various levels. HSBC is getting more conservative and retracting from riskier business and perhaps feels it doesn't need to be told how the business is run, because it has learned," he says.

HSBC's businesses less profitable in the US than other markets
This may mean the review is "sabre rattling" rather than the prelude to a move, he says.
If rates were higher and business were better, some of the arguments may have been moot, says Mr Barua.
"If interest rates in the US and UK were at 2%, George Osborne or Ed Miliband could have increased the bank levy by another whatever, and no-one would care.
"Low rates mean you don't have enough earnings," he says.
"How do you move the value of the stock if you can't earn your way out?"
It will see the town host a range of concerts, comedy and community activities over three days.
Among the acts involved are Big Country, the Mull Historical Society and Fred MacAulay.
The festival also hopes to see some 5,000 people served up a haggis meal over the weekend.
Earlier this week, MSPs paid tribute to the success of the festival, first held in the town in 2012.
The event says it is about "coming together to celebrate with your friends, pals and visitors" without the need for a degree in Scottish literature.
Among the attractions this year are a Burlesque Burns Supper, Homecoming Carnival and a Midnight Roller Disco.
Some of the events will be staged in the Spiegeltent venue which has been put in place on the town's Newall Terrace.
As part of a drive to get more people enjoying Burns Suppers, a special mascot - Hamish the Haggis - has been touring schools.
During the festival, he will host an "interactive family show" including a children's Burns Supper.
There will also be 10-minute Burns Suppers hosted by Jane Brown, President of the Robert Burns World Federation.
Shea came through the north London club's academy, but left the Gunners last summer after failing to make a senior appearance.
The 23-year-old, who had a loan spell at Dagenham in 2011, spent last season with Ryman League Premier Division side Harrow Borough.
The Dons have not disclosed the length of Shea's contract.
"James has been brought in to compete with Ross Worner for the number one jersey," Dons boss Neal Ardley told the club website.
"We had him in for training three or four times last season. He played in a behind closed doors match for us and really impressed.
"James won the Player of the Year award last season at Harrow and four or five clubs tried to get him in on trial."
Meanwhile, Wimbledon have also signed Basingstoke Town's 20-year-old keeper Joe McDonnell, who will join the club's development squad.
The petition, which accuses Cleverley of "inept" displays, has gained over 12,500 signatures since it was posted.
Hodgson, who has included the 24-year-old in Wednesday's squad to face Denmark, said: "It doesn't impress me.
"He deserves to be in this 30-man group. He's done an awful lot of good."
Cleverley has been part of a Manchester United side which has struggled in manager David Moyes's first season in charge and sit seventh in the Premier League table.
But Hodgson said: "I don't think it's correct people should single out one player for Manchester United's lack of success this season.
"I would like to think that I'm not going to have the England team selected in the future by petitions from various people who are holding it against one person for a team's lack of success.
"You can't expect a football coach to have any sympathy with it."
While Hodgson is adamant Cleverley warrants his place in the party to face Denmark at Wembley, he added he can offer no guarantees the midfielder will be making his final party for this summer's finals in Brazil.
He added: "Whether he'll make the 23 or not will of course depend on a lot of things, not least of all how he does in the next couple of months.
"But that doesn't just apply to Tom Cleverley, that applies to a good many players. I'm disappointed that Tom, as a sensitive young man, has got to bear that burden.
"But I know one thing... he will come through it and when he does come through it and Manchester United start winning again and he's starting to get praise for his performances, he'll be stronger for it."
The petition was started on the online campaigning platform Change.org by Glenn McConnell of Blackpool.
Former England midfielder Darren Anderton told BBC Radio 5 live the petition was "scandalous".
"You're talking about a young lad who wants to play football for his country and what a ridiculous thing that petition is. There's no need for it," he said.
"Maybe it's an anti-Manchester United thing, but there's absolutely no need for it. The manager has lots of good players to pick from and if he wants to pick Cleverley then so be it and hopefully he performs very well."
Two men aged 35 and a 27-year-old woman all died in hospital after taking the illegal drug in the Stockton area.
Cleveland Police said street dealers were passing the batch off as a higher grade version of the drug.
A spokesman said officers were working with drug support agencies to identify the suppliers.
The first man was admitted to the University Hospital of North Tees on 5 February and died on 11 February.
A second man was admitted to the same hospital on 13 February and a woman was admitted in the early hours of 16 February. Both died on Friday.
The force spokesman added: "Obviously we don't advocate anyone should buy any type of drugs, but we are aware there are batches of particularly harmful heroin on the streets which are being peddled by dealers as a higher standard than they are."
Luke Garrard's men were 2-0 ahead after just 12 minutes as Tony Jeffrey opened the scoring when he took a long ball forward in his stride and beat Brendan Moore skilfully.
Morgan Ferrier showed strength and determination to hold off defender Giancarlo Gallifuoco as he turned well and shot in to double the lead.
Torquay had a great chance to get back into the game when Femi Ilesanmi handballed in the area, but Nathan Blissett had his penalty saved by Grant Smith before the hosts held on comfortably in a drab second half.

The Welsh Language Commissioner Meri Huws said she had seen a "significant increase" in complaints about the services offered to Welsh speakers at banks over the past weeks and months.
She said she would use a statutory review to try to find out how improve the experiences of Welsh customers.
She is inviting members of the public to give her feedback.
"As part of the review I will also gather evidence from the banks and experts in the banking sector," the commissioner added.
The choice of the next Speaker was the first act of the new Parliament before newly elected MPs are sworn in.
Mr Bercow told MPs that he would be the "champion of backbenchers" and ensure the Commons remained at "the heart of our democratic system".
Mr Bercow has divided opinion among MPs since first being elected in 2009.
Efforts by the Conservatives on the final day of the last Parliament to change the procedures for the Speaker's re-election - which would have made it easier to oust him - were defeated after rebel Tories joined forces with Labour and others to block them.
Mr Bercow was re-elected without a vote on Monday, as was the case after the 2010 election. If a single MP had objected to him continuing in the role, a vote of all MPs would have been held.
Mr Bercow said he had been honoured to serve as Speaker for the past six years and would be honoured to continue in that role for a "little longer".
He said he would discharge his responsibilities "effectively, efficiently and fairly", holding the government "properly to account".
Prime Minister David Cameron, who has clashed with the Speaker in the past, congratulated Mr Bercow and acknowledged the "inclusive way in which he had upheld this office - always putting backbenchers first".
Acting Labour leader Harriet Harman paid a fulsome tribute to Mr Bercow, saying he was a "giant in the office" and, in her opinion, the best holder of the position she had known in more than 30 years in the House.
His re-appointment was also welcomed by Angus Robertson, the leader of the SNP's 56 MPs in Parliament as well as by Nigel Dodds, leader of the Democratic Unionists in the Commons and Dr Alasdair McDonnell, leader of the SDLP in Parliament.
Former Scottish Secretary Alistair Carmichael welcomed Mr Bercow's re-appointment on behalf of the Lib Dems, joking that he was speaking on behalf of the "elite cadre" of his party's representatives left in Parliament after they were reduced from 57 to eight MPs.
Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg, who nominated Mr Bercow, said it was vital for "constitutional reasons" that Speakers were not removed against the will of the Commons.
"The Speaker is the champion of the House of Commons against all comers," he said. "The champion of the Commons against the Lords, sometimes against the judges, but perhaps most particularly against the executive."
Many MPs have praised Mr Bercow's reforms to Commons procedure, insisting they breathed new life into Parliament and gave the opposition and backbenchers more opportunity to question ministers on urgent matters.
But some Conservatives regard Mr Bercow - who used to be a Conservative MP but as Speaker is independent and non-partisan - as a polarising figure and suggest that he unduly favoured Labour and the Lib Dems in the last Parliament.
Mr Bercow, who is responsible for maintaining discipline in the Commons, was first elected in the wake of the scandal over MPs' expenses, which led to the resignation of his predecessor Michael Martin.
Mr Cameron and Ms Harman also paid tribute to Sir Gerald Kaufman, the Labour MP who has become the Father of the House - an honorific status denoting the longest-serving MP in the Commons.
MPs will be sworn in over the next three days prior to the State Opening of Parliament on 27 May, when the Queen's Speech - the government's legislative programme for the year ahead - will be announced.
There were 64,645 mortgage approvals for house purchases in April, the Bank of England said, a 2% fall on the previous month.
Mortgage lenders have told of a fall in demand, despite the low rates on offer.
One theory is that landlords might have brought forward purchases, to avoid the latest in a series of tax changes.
From 1 April, the amount of tax relief they could claim on mortgage payments was reduced.
The Bank of England figures also reveal that it continues to be difficult for savers to get a decent return. The interest paid on variable Individual Savings Accounts (Isas) averaged 0.39% - a new record low.
Interest paid on instant access savings accounts was just above a record low.
Meanwhile, the rate of growth of consumer credit - such as credit card borrowing, loans and overdrafts - remained at more than 10% a year in April.
Authorities, including the Bank, have said they remain vigilant over these rising unsecured debt levels.
William Batista and Leko Nelson were caught in crossfire in Juba between forces loyal to the country's president and vice-president at the weekend.
Batista was secretary general and Nelson was team manager of the club.
South Sudan Football Association president Chabur Goc said: "We have lost two colleagues of football - may the Lord rest their souls."
Troops loyal to President Salva Kiir and first Vice-President Riek Machar began shooting at each other in the streets of Juba last week.
Relations between the two men have been fractious since South Sudan won independence from Sudan in 2011.
Their forces have fought a civil war. But despite a peace deal last year ending the conflict, both sides retain their military capabilities and have continued to accuse each other of bad faith.
A total of 96 MLAs took part in the vote and 49 voted against the Sinn Féin motion calling for civil marriage equality for all, with 47 in favour.
Sinn Féin, SDLP and five Alliance MLAs supported the motion. The DUP opposed it and the Ulster Unionists were given a free vote on the issue.
Of 53 unionists, only four voted yes.
Ahead of the vote, a petition of concern was tabled, meaning the motion would require cross-community support from both unionists and nationalists to succeed. However, it did not come into play.
A full breakdown of the vote has been published on the assembly website.
The controversy surrounding Northern Ireland's DUP health minister, Jim Wells, featured heavily in the debate.
The health minster issued a public apology on Friday, after he was recorded on camera making comments linking gay relationships and child abuse.
Mr Wells then announced his resignation on Monday, after it was confirmed that police are also investigating an incident involving a lesbian couple during a door-to-door election canvas by Mr Wells in County Down.
It is alleged that he called at the couple's house, and during a conversation was critical of their lifestyle.
He is due to step down on 11 May to spend more time with his seriously ill wife, but Sinn Féin said his resignation should take immediate effect.
Sinn Féin's Catriona Ruane expressed sympathy over his wife's illness but said he should have resigned immediately after linking child abuse to gay parents.
She Mr Wells had "violated" his pledge of office by making his original remarks.
"No matter how much pressure someone is under there is no excuse for the comments that were made. What make the comments even worse was that they were made by the health minister who had taken a pledge of office, who is responsible for safeguarding children," she said.
Earlier, DUP leader Peter Robinson has asked people "not to take on the characteristics of a lynch mob" over the controversy surrounding Mr Wels.
"We need to be very careful on these issues that we have some proportionality," he said.
"This was a comment made by a minister who for a considerable number of months has carried on his work during the day and been sitting beside his wife during the night as she's been fighting for her life."
Ulster Unionist MLA Danny Kinahan told the Assembly he was supporting the Sinn Féin motion for marriage equality and was "proud" that his party had given its MLAs a free vote on the motion.
"At school and in the army I believed - and I'm ashamed to say joked carried by the flow - that gay lesbian and such matters were wrong and could be laughed at - I'd never really sat down and thought about it," Mr Kinahan said.
The UUP MLA said his eyes were opened to discrimination when one of his colleagues, who he described as an "excellent soldier" left the army after failing a vetting process for promotion.
"I want a society here in Northern Ireland where no-one is made to feel a second-class citizen to any extent and certainly not due to sexual definition. I want no discrimination whatsoever on account of religious belief or sexual orientation," Mr Kinahan said.
Alliance MLA Chris Lyttle told MLAs his party "is committed to delivering a shared society for everyone based on religious and civil liberty and equality for all regardless of age, gender, disability, race, ethnicity or sexual orientation and to stand against discrimination or stigmatisation of any kind".
"The Alliance Party therefore supports the extension of state provided civil marriage to same sex couples, provided that robust legislative protection can uphold the religious freedom of faith groups to define and practice religious marriage as they determine."
SDLP MLA Colum Eastwood said: "We need to, as an assembly, as people in positions of power and responsibility, we need to be seen to be embracing all members of our community - all members of our community.
He added: "There is no reason whatsoever, Mr Speaker, why the north of Ireland should be the only place on these islands that doesn't have marriage available to same sex couples."
Neath Port Talbot council has approved a planning application for the former Glan Afan Comprehensive School site.
The school closed its doors in July and pupils were transferred to the new "superschool" Ysgol Bae Baglan.
The plans, submitted by Coastal Housing Group, are part of a £35m regeneration programme for the town
The Victorian building's red brick facade will be maintained and will house a commercial unit along with 12 flats.
Other buildings to the rear of the site will be demolished to allow the construction of more flats, detached and semi-detached houses and another commercial unit.
Council leader Ali Thomas said the redevelopment would provide "much needed" housing for the town centre.
The company has been broadcasting Europe's elite club competitions since 2015 under the terms of an £897m deal agreed in 2013.
BT Sport, owned by Britain's biggest broadband and mobile operator BT, is a paid subscription service.
But it said it would make clips, weekly highlights, and both finals available to watch for free on social media.
The new deal gives BT Sport exclusivity across all live games and highlights for the first time - meaning there will be no weekly highlights shown on free-to-air broadcaster ITV.
Europe's top four domestic leagues are to be guaranteed four places each in the group stages of the Champions League from the 2018-19 season.
Other changes to the competition will see 'double-header' nights in the group stage, with matches kicking off at both 18:00 and 20:00 UK time.
The current top four leagues according to European governing body Uefa's rankings are Spain, Germany, England and Italy.
Under the present system, England, Germany and Spain have three places each while their fourth-placed teams must win a play-off to qualify.

After recent falls in viewing figures and concerns over the threat of illegal streaming, there was mounting expectancy that the relentless inflation in football rights over the last two decades may finally be coming to an end. So much for that. BT have paid 35% more for Uefa's rights that they did last time, a reminder of the importance communications companies attach to live football as a means of attracting customers to a range of services.
Despite concerns by sponsors over reduced exposure with the loss of free to air live coverage, Uefa has now gone even further, handing BT the highlights rights too. For Uefa, this will help appease the clubs and national football associations, who will get yet more money, but has clearly dismayed many fans.
However, in a reflection of the way viewing habits are changing, especially among younger audiences, BT has agreed to make some content available for free via social media, a tactic that many rights holders could now look to copy.
Flights from the island to five UK destinations were cancelled earlier in March, after the "virtual airline" Citywing went into liquidation.
Eastern Airways will operate the new service having already taken over two services to Belfast and Newcastle.
Isle of Man Airport's Director of Ports Ann Reynolds said the renewed link was "very important".
A spokesman for the airline said the company's priority had been "to protect vital routes to Belfast City and Newcastle", but they were now "in a position to link the island with Glasgow again".
He said daily flights between Ronaldsway and Glasgow will begin on 2 May.
He will be available for three Championship games, eight in the T20 Blast and three in the One-Day Cup between 9 June and 18 July.
The 25-year-old scored 2,633 runs for New Zealand in 2015 across all formats, including eight centuries.
"His value as a player is beyond question," said Yorkshire head coach Jason Gillespie.
"His attitude, work ethic and leadership as an overseas player is brilliant."
Williamson and England's Joe Root, a Yorkshire team-mate, are currently joint second in the International Cricket Council Test batting rankings behind Australia captain Steve Smith.
The White Rose county have won the Championship title for the past two seasons and are looking to become the first side to do so three times in a row since their Yorkshire predecessors from 1966-1968.
"I am looking forward to joining the team for a third term this summer," Williamson told the Yorkshire website.
"It is enjoyable being part of a successful team that are hungry for ongoing success."
It comes after the BBC revealed four former tram drivers fell asleep while operating trams in Croydon.
An emergency brake also failed to activate and stop their trams.
Three trams have been recorded speeding since the Croydon crash which killed seven and injured 50 in November.
Sadiq Khan, who is also the chairman of Transport for London (TfL), wrote to the RAIB's chief inspector Stephen French, to outline his concerns as part of the investigation into the fatal derailment.
"Any allegations of safety breaches must be taken extremely seriously and I have ordered TfL to urgently investigate all the claims made in the Victoria Derbyshire programme," he said.
"These claims are obviously alarming and it is only right that they are considered by the RAIB.
"Nobody wants a tragedy like this to ever occur again and that's why it's incredibly important that we establish the root cause of this terrible incident and take every single measure possible to ensure that safety is at the forefront of London's tram operations."
Mr French said he would write to Mr Khan to confirm the RAIB was aware of the claims and would "give them due consideration".
He added: "I will also advise that our detailed testing of the tram involved in the accident includes the driver safety device."
The portable structures are to be erected at key points on matchdays to stop vehicles driving into crowds.
The club and Northumbria Police have stressed there is no specific threat to the city or Newcastle fans.
Vans and lorries have been used in recent terrorist attacks in London and cities across Europe.
The Northumbria force said the move was a "sensible" response to the attacks, with Newcastle City Council adding the decision had "not been taken lightly".
A council spokesman said: "With vehicles used as weapons to drive into crowds in Nice, Berlin, Stockholm and more recently in London, the police and ourselves in partnership with the Fans Forum and the club have decided to protect the 52,000 supporters who regularly flock to St James' Park.
"We have seen the death and destruction caused by terrorists who use vehicles as weapons by driving them into crowded places.
"We have a duty and responsibility to do all that we can to protect the public, and this is what we will do."
Additional road closures will also be in force on matchdays, particularly around Strawberry Place, following advice from the National Counter Terrorism Unit.
Barriers will remain in place until 20 minutes after the game ends.
A Northumbria Police spokesman added: "This is a sensible, practically focused and proportionate partnership plan with public safety at its core.
"Whilst there is no current intelligence to indicate St James' Park or its wider environs will be targeted, we continue to robustly scrutinise and be vigilant around events generally."
The new measures are due to be tested on 6 August, when Newcastle entertain Verona in a friendly.
Nearly 200 of the plane's 298 victims came from the Netherlands.
Ukraine and Western countries accuse pro-Russian rebels of shooting the plane down with a Russian-made missile, an accusation which Russia denies.
The exact cause of the crash in eastern Ukraine has not been established.
President Vladimir Putin said on Monday that allegations that the rebels were hampering efforts to find out what happened to the plane were "totally unfounded".
He said that Russia supported a full and impartial investigation into the crash.
Friends and relatives of the victims read out the names and ages of those who died in a ceremony attended by Dutch King Willem-Alexander, Prime Minister Mark Rutte and other dignitaries.
There were poignant moments when the names of entire families were read out, often in Dutch but also in English, reflecting the 10 nationalities of the victims.
Footage from the scene showed schoolchildren placing flowers next to 298 candles, one for every victim.
Dutch PM Mark Rutte spoke of his feelings of helplessness and despair in the aftermath of the disaster.
"[The passengers'] lives will forever be unfinished," he said. "Their voices will never again be heard. Their presence, their talents, their friendship and their love - it has all been taken from you. Just like that."
298 victims from 10 countries
MH17 Dutch memorial day: Air disaster that touched a nation
Mr Rutte said that the commemoration would provide "a chance for the Netherlands to show the next-of-kin that they are not standing alone".
However, the BBC's Anna Holligan in the Netherlands says that Mr Rutte still cannot answer the most pressing questions asked by bereaved families - who was responsible for shooting down the plane and when will all of the remains of the victims be repatriated?
Such was the impact of the MH17 crash in the Netherlands that 17 July 2014 is often referred to as the country's 9/11.
Most observers had expected Beyonce's Lemonade - a politically-charged opus that tackles themes of gender and black identity - to race home with the prize.
But Adele swooped in and stole it from under her nose, making her very much the Donald Trump of pop.
But what were the other big (and small) themes from the night? Here's a rundown.
She lost all eight of the awards she was nominated for, but this picture of Rihanna with a hip flask tells us she didn't care.
British star James Corden took over as Grammys host from rapper LL Cool J, and the difference couldn't have been more apparent.
While LL was always affable, he didn't do much beyond delivering his links.
James, in contrast, began the night by pretending to fall down a staircase ("this is a disaster!") before launching into a rap about the gathered celebrities:
"This room is insane, It's filled with 'Oh, Gods!' / Some of the faces like Madame Tussauds.
"Beyonce performing, the queen is here, dummy! / Slay the whole stage with twins in her tummy."
Later on, he performed an impromptu carpool karaoke (from inside a cardboard cut-out) with Neil Diamond, Jennifer Lopez and Jason Derulo singing a version of Sweet Caroline.
And he lived every child's worst nightmare when he found dad Malcolm canoodling with model Heidi Klum in the audience.
"Dad, what are you doing with Heidi Klum?" he exclaimed.
"Well, your mom and I have an understanding and I used my free pass tonight," replied Corden Senior.
Politics was always expected to play a role in the ceremony, but it wasn't until Busta Rhymes took to the stage that things got serious.
"I'm not feeling the political climate right now," he growled. "I just want to thank President Agent Orange for perpetuating all of the evil that you've been perpetuating throughout the United States.
"I just want to thank President Agent Orange for your unsuccessful attempt at the Muslim ban. We've come together. We, the people."
He then launched into We The People - a collaboration with A Tribe Called Quest that rejects the politics of division.
Surrounded by dancers in headscarves, the musicians brought their thunderous performance to a close with a chant of "resist, resist, resist".
It wasn't the only political moment in the ceremony, but it was the most incendiary.
Earlier Katy Perry, an ardent Hillary Clinton supporter, danced in a white pant suit and wore a "persist" arm band.
Presumably this alluded to Elizabeth Warren's persistence in Congress this week, where she attempted to read a 30-year-old letter by Martin Luther King Jr's widow, criticising President Trump's nominee for attorney general.
The president of the Recording Academy, Neil Portnow, also called on the President not to cut arts funding, saying Americans are "constantly reminded about the things that divide us".
"What we need so desperately are more reminders of all that binds us together," he continued.
US singer Joy Villa, however, bucked the trend by whipping off a white gown to reveal a pro-Trump dress.
Rock band Twenty One Pilots went trouser-less for their first ever acceptance speech.
After winning best group performance for their hit song Stressed Out, singer Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun stood up, dropped their trousers and walked to the podium in their underwear.
"This story, it starts in Columbus, Ohio, it was a few years ago and it was before Josh and I were able to make money playing music," explained Tyler.
"I called him up and I said, 'Hey Josh, want to come over to my rental house and watch the Grammys?' As we were watching, we noticed every single one of us was in our underwear.
"Seriously, Josh said to me... he turned to me and he said, 'If we ever go to the Grammys, if we ever win a Grammy, we should receive it just like this.'"
While a heavily pregnant Beyonce was on stage killing it in an epic, nine-minute performance celebrating motherhood, Jay Z was on the front row looking after their five-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy.
The father-daughter duo were beaming with pride throughout and gave Queen Bey a standing ovation.
Jay Z's next album - For God's Sake Will You Go to Sleep, Game of Thrones Starts in Five Minutes - is due for release in October.
Adele might have needed a do-over on her tribute to George Michael, but her sombre rendition of Fastlove (arranged by Batman composer Hans Zimmer, we understand) was a mournful masterpiece.
Bruno Mars went the other direction, vamping up a cover of Prince's Let's Go Crazy to such an extent he seemed possessed by the spirit of the Minneapolis marvel.
And The Time - Prince's arch-rivals in Purple Rain - showed us how songs the star cast off, such as their hit Jungle Love, could bring a moderately-sized house down.
Those weren't the only stars we lost in 2016 of course, and the memorial montage would have brought a lump to any music fan's throat.
If that wasn't enough, John Legend and Cynthia Erivo's tender cover of The Beach Boys' God Only Knows -which soundtracked the segment - would have finished you off.
It's hard to believe it, but in his lifetime David Bowie only won two Grammys: best music video in 1985 for Jazzin' For Blue Jean and a lifetime achievement award in 2006.
That historical anomaly was corrected last night when the star won all five of the categories he was nominated for, including best alternative album for Blackstar and best rock song for its title track.
Recording engineer Kevin Killen, who worked with Bowie on the album, expressed his relief backstage.
"It's kind of startling it's taken that long for an artist who's been so magnificent throughout his whole career," he said.
Musician Donny McCaslin, who played on Blackstar, said it was "unfortunate" Bowie had not been nominated for the main prize, album of the year.
"Speaking artistically, it was clear he should have been nominated in one if not more of the major categories," he said.

Last week Newport appointed ex-Republic of Ireland midfielder John Sheridan as manager following the departure of Terry Butcher.
Feeney, 34, had been in charge of the Belfast club since April 2014.
They finished runners-up to Crusaders last season and currently lead the Irish Premiership by two points.
"I have fond memories of playing in this part of the world, my family home is still in Langstone and I have undertaken my coaching qualifications through the FA of Wales," said Feeney.
"It is also a bonus to be reunited with John Sheridan."
Linfield offered Feeney improved terms on Tuesday evening in a last-ditch attempt to keep him at Windsor Park.
The Belfast club, which had been negotiating compensation for the loss of their manager, now face a task of quickly finding a replacement as they try to regain the league title they last won in 2012.
Newport are currently bottom of League Two having won just one match this season.
Feeney's wife and four children live close to Newport and his new role will result in a significant salary increase.
He played under Sheridan for a period with Plymouth Argyle, and also had spells with Welsh clubs Cardiff City and Swansea.
Sheridan left his role as Plymouth boss last season where he worked with current County chief executive Jason Turner.
Feeney added: "I saw this as the perfect club to return to the Football League with and I look forward to be involved with the first-team on a day-to-day basis.
"The season is still in the early stages and looking at the players the club have at their disposal I am confident that we can negotiate our way off the bottom of the table."
The 19-year-old, who was also in a tie for the lead after the first round, is on eight under along with American Megan Khang and Japan's Haru Nomura.
Scotland's Catriona Matthew is in a group of four players one shot back.
Matthew dropped shots at the eighth and 10th but steadied thereafter to shoot a two-under 71.
The woman was walking along a path in Merksworth Way at about 02:20 on Sunday when a man pushed her to the ground before raping her.
After the attack, she managed to get help from the residents of a nearby house.
Her attacker was described as male, white, 5ft 7in tall, well-built, with dark spiky hair. He is believed to have had an Eastern European accent.
He was wearing jeans and a dark hooded top, with the hood up.
He ran off in the direction of the airport after the attack.
The woman was taken by ambulance to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley for treatment. She has since been released.
Police have appealed for anyone with information about the incident to contact them.
Det Insp Louise Harvie, from Police Scotland, said: "Merksworth Way is one of three streets with a grassy area joining them all.
"The lady was cutting across the path in that grassy area when she was attacked by the man.
"She hadn't seen anybody about and just remembers him approaching her and then attacking her.
"Thankfully the woman got help from someone in one of the houses nearby and police were called."
She added: "The area is residential so it's possible that someone may have heard either a disturbance or shouting that was out of the ordinary.
"Either that or they may have seen the man hanging about the area.
"This was a terrifying attack for the lady to go through.
"It is vital we catch this man, so if you have any information that you may think will help police with their inquiries, then please contact Paisley Police Office via 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where details can be given in confidence."
The investigation uncovered a brothel luring undocumented Asian women to the city.
It found the women were being promised work to pay off people smugglers.
Justice Minister David Ford said the extension of the National Crime Agency to NI should help to stop people being trafficked into the sex trade.
Mr Ford said the NCA will have greater powers and resources than the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI).
The BBC investigation exposed how women were being recruited to work as prostitutes in Belfast through a classified newspaper advert in the UK China Times.
An undercover reporter, who replied to the advert as part of the investigation, was offered sex work by the Belfast brothel manager, who introduced herself as Lisa.
Lisa told the reporter that she keeps half of the earnings of the prostitutes she recruits.
Speaking to BBC Radio Ulster, Mr Ford said people trafficking into the sex trade was causing "major problems across Europe".
"I think the authorities are doing what they can but clearly the PSNI has limited resources and is not particularly in a position to follow up matters which clearly originated in Great Britain to the Chinese press there.
"One of the key issues there is to see that, using particularly the resources of a body like the National Crime Agency, which has the international reach to see the source countries working alongside the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, as well as the ability to co-ordinate across different regions of the UK.
"When we get the NCA fully operational in Northern Ireland in a few months time I hope that will help," Mr Ford added.
The NCA was introduced in the rest of the UK in 2013, but its powers have been limited in Northern Ireland due to nationalist politicians' concerns over its accountability.
However, following a new agreement on oversight mechanisms, the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) agreed to support the extension of the NCA's full powers to Northern Ireland.
Sinn Féin retains its objection to the move, but SDLP's change of position means the NCA will be fully operational in Northern Ireland within the coming months.
Northern Ireland recently became the first part of the UK to make buying sex a crime, following legislation brought before Stormont by the Democratic Unionist Party peer, Lord Morrow.
Lord Morrow told BBC Radio Ulster: "What my bill is designed to do primarily is to support victims of human trafficking and there are in the bill measures to support those who have been exploited.
"That was what the purpose and the drive of my bill was, and for those who try to say that this might in some way drive it further underground, I just fail to understand that , because quite frankly, this type of activity is already underground."
The BBC Radio Ulster documentary - Vice Girl or Victim - is available on the BBC iPlayer.
Antenucci, 31, was the club's second top-scorer last season, scoring nine times as Leeds finished in 13th.
He moved to Elland Road from Serie A side Ternana in 2014 and scored 19 goals in total for the Whites.
Defender Scott Wootton, who made 71 appearances for Leeds in three years, will also leave the club after his contract expired.
Leeds have offered a new deal to 17-year-old goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell, who made his debut against Queens Park Rangers in April.

The first was at a landing a block of flats at North Anderson Drive at about 01:20. The second, about 10 minutes later, was at flats at Midstocket View.
Police Scotland said inquiries were at an early stage but it was believed the incidents were linked.
Insp Jon Millar said: "Thankfully no-one was injured. It goes without saying such reckless behaviour could have fatal consequences."
The tweet included a shape resembling the Star of David and stacks of money, with text describing Mrs Clinton as "Most corrupt candidate ever!"
It was later deleted then reposted with the slogan contained in a circle.
Mr Trump said the media was "dishonest" for comparing it to the Star of David, a symbol of Judaism.
The Mic website reported the image had first appeared on a message board known for anti-Semitism and white supremacy.
"Donald Trump's use of a blatantly anti-Semitic image from racist websites to promote his campaign would be disturbing enough," Mrs Clinton's campaign team told US media.
"But the fact that it's part of a pattern should give voters major cause for concern."
Mr Trump hit back in a statement, saying it was a "basic star, often used by sheriffs", and that accusations of anti-Semitism were "ridiculous".
He accused Mrs Clinton of trying to deflect attention from her husband's meeting with the US attorney-general.
Dan Scavino, Trump's social media director denied that the image had been lifted from an anti-Semitic site and said it was taken from "an anti-Hillary Twitter user where countless images appear".
Mr Scavino defended himself against the anti-Semitic claims in a tweet on Tuesday.
"For the MSM to suggest that I am antisemite is AWFUL. I proudly celebrate holidays w/my wife's amazing Jewish family for the past 16 years," he wrote, using an abbreviation for mainstream media.
The Star of David features on the Israeli flag, and was used by the Nazis to identify Jews.
Mr Trump has previously come under scrutiny for reposting comments made by supremacist groups on social media.
Earlier this year, he was criticised on his failure to immediately disavow David Duke, a leader of the white supremacist Ku Klux Klan, who had endorsed him.
A new batch of unreleased emails showed exchanges between Clinton Foundation and State Department employees.
A conservative legal group, Judicial Watch, obtained the emails as part of a lawsuit against the State Department.
The Democratic presidential nominee said the emails did not involve her or relate to the foundation's work.
The emails, which were heavily redacted, came from Mrs Clinton's first three months as secretary of state in 2009.
The latest batch was not included in the more than 30,000 emails Mrs Clinton turned over to the State Department last March as part of an investigation.
Can Hillary Clinton give a straight answer on emails?
Hillary Clinton's 'emailgate' diced and sliced
In one email exchange, Clinton Foundation official Doug Band asked Mrs Clinton's top aides, Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin, to find a job for a foundation associate at the State Department.
Ms Abedin replied: "We all have him on our radar. Personnel has been sending him options."
However, State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau told ABC News that the State Department hires political appointees through a "variety of avenues".
"State Department officials are regularly in touch with a range of outside individuals and organisations including non-profits, NGOs, think tanks, and others," she said.
Mrs Clinton's campaign addressed the emails highlighted by Judicial Watch, suggesting that Mr Band was acting as former President Bill Clinton's personal assistant and not in his role as the head of the Clinton Global Initiative.
"They are communications between her aides and the president's personal aide, and indeed the recommendation was for one of the Secretary's former staffers who was not employed by the foundation," a statement said.
Why they hate Hillary in Trump country
Are the Democrats too confident?
Three reasons Hillary could lose
In another instance, Mr Band asked Ms Abedin and Ms Mills to put Lebanese-Nigerian billionaire, Gilbert Chagoury, in contact with the State Department's "substance person" on Lebanon.
Mr Band said the billionaire foundation donor was a "key guy there [Lebanon] and to us".
The newly released batch also included an email to Mrs Clinton from Stephen Roach, then-chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia, who said he was scheduled to testify to Congress and was "happy to help in any way I can."
Mr Roach then met with Mrs Clinton over the summer for 30 minutes, according to Clinton calendars obtained by the AP.
Mrs Clinton's campaign did not immediately address the email exchange with Mr Roach.
The Democratic nominee has been mired in controversy over her use of a personal email server while at the State Department, prompting a federal investigation and undermining her trustworthiness among public opinion.
FBI Director James Comey announced in July that though Mrs Clinton was "extremely careless," his investigation did not find any evidence of criminal wrongdoing.
Republican presidential rival Donald Trump's campaign responded to the latest revelations, saying it was "more evidence that Hillary Clinton lacks the judgment, character, stability and temperament to be within 1,000 miles of public power". | Kenya's Dennis Kimetto has broken the marathon world record in Berlin, winning the race in a time of two hours, two minutes and 57 seconds.

In Northern Ireland, learning a second language is not a statutory part of the primary school curriculum.
In England and Scotland, by contrast, primary school pupils are expected to learn a foreign language.
The review of primary languages in Northern Ireland has been carried out by researchers from Stranmillis University College.
The authors surveyed language learning at over 100 schools.
They found that Spanish and French were most popular in schools where languages were taught.
Some pupils also learned German or Mandarin.
However, not all primary schools taught an additional language.
This led the authors to conclude that there was "a lack of equity in provision for children" across the country.
They also found little consistency in how often languages were taught to pupils, and when they began to learn a language.
Some primary principals also expressed concerns about the amount of support and resources available to their teachers and pupils.
However, the majority of principals and teachers who participated in the study agreed that learning an additional language was important and valuable.
But they also said teaching foreign languages was not a priority for schools as it was not assessed or measured.
The report's authors said that the development of language skills was "vital for economic prosperity, social cohesion and the acceptance of diverse cultural identities".
"It is hoped that the findings of this study may encourage policy makers, business and educational providers to support the revision and improvement of current curriculum provision in additional language learning," the report said.
It also said that language learning was "conducive to economic growth and that can enhance the lives and future employability of children and young people".
Across the European Union (EU) more than 80% of primary pupils learn an additional language.
The research was commissioned by the Northern Ireland Languages Council.
It is a body established by the Department of Education, and over 20 organisations are represented on the council, from business, education and the community sector.
The former Republic of Ireland youth international, 35, has committed to a 10th season for the Shrimps after his move from Chesterfield in 2008.
The ex-Nottingham Forest stopper memorably scored a last-minute goal in February 2016 against Portsmouth.
"Barry had another excellent season last year and is a big member of the squad," said boss Jim Bentley.
GB lead on 113.90, ahead of Germany (123.00) and Sweden (128.50) in Strzegom, going into Sunday's showjumping finale in Poland.
British rider Nicola Wilson, aboard Bulana, is fourth individually behind the German 1-2 of Ingrid Klimke and Michael Jung after the cross-country.
GB's Gemma Tattersall is fifth, with Tina Cook sixth and Ros Canter eighth.
Cook, who won individual European gold eight years ago, delivered a stunning clear round inside the time on Billy the Red.
Her fellow London 2012 team silver medallist Wilson collected just 0.4 of a time fault and Canter 1.6 aboard Allstar B.
It meant that Britain could discount Oliver Townend's score - he collected 40 jumping penalties on Cooley SRS.
"The team needed a clear round, and I am delighted that we delivered that," said Cook.
Britain, whose new coaching chief is former Germany team boss Chris Bartle, can afford to have two showjumping fences down between their team members and still win, even if the German riders all go clear.
German Bettina Hoy, the leader after the dressage stage, was eliminated in the cross-country after a fall, while France are out of the team competition after two of their riders fell.

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

With two thirds of results in he has 55% of the vote against 44% for his rival, Raila Odinga, figures show.
Mr Kenyatta is hoping for a second term in office but faces a tough challenge.
Voting has passed off largely peacefully and the electoral commission has urged people to wait calmly for all the results.
"During this critical phase, we urge all Kenyans to exercise restraint as we await official results from the polling stations and indeed as they start trickling in," the commission said.
Many fear a repeat of the violence that followed the disputed 2007 election. More than 1,100 Kenyans died and 600,000 were displaced.
Some polling stations remained open after the scheduled 17:00 (14:00 GMT) closing time in areas where heavy rain and other problems had hampered voting.
Despite Mr Kenyatta's early lead, the BBC's Tomi Oladipo says it is too early to tell which way Kenyans have voted.
To win outright, a candidate needs more than 50% of the vote, and at least 25% in 24 of Kenya's 47 counties. If that threshold is not met, a run-off vote between the top two candidates will be triggered.
Voting for the national and local assemblies has also been taking place.
People started queuing early to ensure they could cast their vote. Long queues could be seen, and video footage at one polling station showed people injured after an apparent stampede.
There was also the failure of some voter-identification equipment and one in four polling stations were apparently without mobile phone coverage meaning that officials would have to drive to the nearest town to send results.
There were reports that one man had been killed in clashes in the Kilifi area.
But there was one heartening moment when a woman gave birth to a baby girl as she queued in West Pokot to cast her ballot. New mother Pauline Chemanang called the circumstances of the birth a "blessing" and called her baby Kura, Swahili for "ballot", according to local radio.
Casting his vote in his hometown of Gatundu, north of Nairobi, Mr Kenyatta said he would accept the outcome of the election.
"To my competitors, as I have always said, in the event that they lose, let us accept the will of the people. I am willing, myself, to accept the will of the people," he said.
Opposition leader Mr Odinga cast his ballot in the Nairobi slum of Kibera.
Speaking outside the voting centre, he told his supporters: "Let's turn out in large numbers and vote."
By Alastair Leithead, BBC News, Mathare
The queues were long and the voters impatient. Many arrived in the middle of the night to cast their ballots early and the electronic system is taking quite a while to verify voters.
If fingerprints don't register, ID card numbers have to be typed in to the electronic tablets and then there's a manual backup.
The responsibility lies with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission to deliver a free and fair election.
The test will come when the polls close, the votes are counted and the results have to be transmitted to the tallying centres.
The presidential race is expected to be close.
Mr Odinga, 72, has run for president three times and lost each time. President Kenyatta, the 55-year-old son of Kenya's founding president, beat him in the last election in 2013, but their rivalry is generations old - their fathers were political opponents in the 1960s.
Mr Kenyatta and his running-mate William Ruto were indicted by the International Criminal Court for their alleged roles in the bloodshed a decade ago. The case ultimately collapsed due to lack of evidence, and after key witnesses died or disappeared.

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

The 27-year-old met up with the squad on Monday morning as they gathered ahead of their match against England.
Webb made his comeback from injury for Ospreys in mid-February and has not played for Wales since injuring a foot against Italy in September.
He led the team and played 80 minutes in Ospreys' 19-16 defeat by Leinster.
Webb established himself as Wales' first-choice scrum-half ahead of Mike Phillips after crossing for three tries in the 2015 Six Nations Championship.
However, he left the field on a stretcher in Wales' final warm-up game before the World Cup, where his place was taken by Gareth Davies.
The Scarlets number nine has since gone on to score six tries - five of them in the World Cup - and was named man of the match in Wales' 19-10 win against France.
Webb suffered a setback on his return for Ospreys when a clash of heads ruled him out for a week.
But he has looked assured in two matches since, and completed the full game against Leinster.
Both teams are unbeaten in this season's Six Nations, with England on course for a first Grand Slam since 2003 and Wales likely to be tournament favourites if they win at Twickenham.
The 136-year-old Friar Gate bridge has been closed for 50 years, but previous restoration efforts have failed, city councillor Martin Rawson said.
He said the council is asking for money from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
English Heritage said the Grade II listed bridge, built in 1878, was a "nationally important" structure.
Mr Rawson said: "The best option for us going forward is to put a bid into the National Heritage Lottery Fund and to be able to get that money to bring the bridge back to its former glory.
"There have been a number of schemes over the years (to get support from developers) ... but unfortunately they have not come to fruition.
"There is no plan to reopen the bridge to rail traffic but the aim is to make it more visually attractive and perhaps to eventually use it as a pedestrian bridge."
The cost of the work on the ornately-decorated bridge would vary depending on the extent of the repairs, but could exceed £1m if tree clearance, drainage improvements and stone work are included, a council report said.
The railway bridge was closed in 1964 and later sold to Derby City Council by British Rail for £1 on the understanding that it would be maintained by the local authority.
Friar Gate Bridge Action Group has been lobbying for its restoration since the 1970s.
Police said a suspicious object found in the Rockfergus Avenue area on Saturday morning was an "elaborate hoax".
Elsewhere, a number of people were moved from their homes at Main Street in Cushendun, County Antrim, after a suspicious object was found.
It was also declared a hoax.
This would replace the current Ryanair route to London Stansted due to disappear from March 2017.
The funding would come under a government scheme known as a Public Service Obligation (PSO).
It would be the first UK-government backing for a PSO in Northern Ireland, the Department for Transport has said.
Derry City and Strabane District Council can now begin a tendering process to secure an airline.
Sinn Féin MLA Raymond McCartney said it would be key to the City of Derry's future.
"We're sending a very, very clear signal that the airport has a future and, not only has it a future, but it will get assistance where assistance is appropriate," he said.
"We in the region have always argued the need for a strong airport to attract foreign direct investment and tourism.
"I have all confidence in the management of City of Derry Airport to deliver for us in the future," Mr McCartney said.
Lord Ahmad, the aviation minister, said the UK's airports were vital in supporting local economies.
"That is why the UK government has agreed in principle to support the air route between City of Derry Airport and London," said Lord Ahmad.
"In terms of process, it is important that Derry City and Strabane District Council take forward the tender process to secure this route."
Secretary of State for Northern Ireland James Brokenshire said it was good news for travellers in the north west and the wider regional economy.
"Having talked to local business leaders, I know the air link with London plays a vital role," he said.
"I am pleased the UK government has been able to step in to help, as part of our commitment to build a Northern Ireland that works for everyone," he said.
He has swooped after Keystone Group, which ran the operation, went into receivership and put the franchise up for sale.
Mr Oliver said he was "excited" about bringing the six restaurants back in-house.
The TV-chef has 42 restaurants in the UK and more than 25 abroad run under his name.
Financial adviser Ferrier Hodgson, which is handling the sale, said Mr Oliver was the preferred bidder and that his return would be the "ideal outcome".
Mr Oliver said the Australian restaurants - located in Sydney and nearby Parramatta, Perth, Canberra, Brisbane and Adelaide - were among the best performing of his global chain and that he planned putting more money into them.
"This will be a really exciting moment for me personally and I know the guys will be ecstatic to be back in-house," he said.
"It will allow us to invest even more time and money in people and restaurants, celebrate great Aussie produce and be even more creative."
Collapsed Keystone Group's other venues include a range of pubs, restaurants and hotels across Australia, some of which have already been sold since the firm went into receivership in June after failing to renegotiate loans with its investors.
It partly blamed strict alcohol and lock-out laws in Sydney for the failure of some of its ventures.
Two advisors, appointed by South Derbyshire District Council, will call at houses during the next five weeks to discuss recycling face to face.
Officials said they hoped this would help residents find out more about how this and the composting scheme work.
The advisors will also be gathering views on a new cardboard and plastics collection initiative.
The council said it hoped being able to talk to someone face to face would help both novices and existing recyclers.
Peter Watson, chairman of Environmental and Development Services at the council, said: "This campaign provides the perfect opportunity for residents to find out more about recycling and ask questions about all aspects of our schemes.
"Our households have consistently shown their commitment to helping the environment and we want to encourage them to continue their efforts.
"Our experts will clear up any uncertainties and help more people to recycle and compost more of their household waste."
He was pulled over by police in Northampton on Saturday while driving the white Toyota at about 12:00 BST on Wellingborough Road.
Officers, who seized 30 cars that day as part of a road policing operation, said it was an "interesting concept".
PC Dave Lee said the driver would likely be fined or face a court appearance for the misdemeanour.
"Interesting concept for this Toyota that was driving along. #PeePo," PC Lee wrote on Twitter.
Northamptonshire Police added: "Our central ticket office will write to him giving him various options from a fine through to a court appearance."
The Black Cats have also added former Liverpool defender Andrea Dossena, 31, from Napoli on a one-year deal.
Black Cats boss Paolo Di Canio rates Borini highly, although the 22-year-old has scored just twice since becoming Brendan Rodgers's first Reds signing.
The Italian, who played for Rodgers at Chelsea's academy and Swansea, moved from Roma in July 2012 for £11m.
Liverpool's signing of Victor Moses from Chelsea on loan pushed him further away from first-team contention.
Capped once by Italy, against the United States in February 2012, Borini has made 20 appearances for the Anfield club.
Dossena, who made 31 appearances during an 18-month spell at Anfield from 2008, helped Napoli to second-place in Serie A last season.
Barristers have withdrawn from all new criminal cases requiring legal aid, in protest against the reduced payments.
Bar Council chairman, Gerry McAlinden, said the cuts meant barristers will not get "any money" for aspects of cases.
But the justice minister said Northern Ireland could not continue to fund the UK's highest level of legal aid pay.
David Ford, who is facing cuts to his departmental budget along with other Northern Ireland Executive ministers, has introduced new rules this month that reduce the legal aid payments available to lawyers who undertake criminal case work.
Last week, it emerged that the Bar Council of Northern Ireland and the Law Society have joined forces in a legal action against the minister, in an attempt to get the High Court to overturn the new payment rules.
Speaking on BBC Radio Ulster, Mr McAlinden said: "What these rules simply mean is that, for a lot of the work that is required to properly do a case - a criminal case or a civil case - the lawyers will not get any money.
"Basically, what in essence is happening under the 2015 rules in relation to criminal cases is that, for the work that is required - such as looking at documents that are disclosed by the Crown, looking at expert reports, looking at the documentation that is necessary to determine whether those expert reports are accurate in their conclusions - that type of work will not be paid under these rules."
The Bar Council chairman added: "It means that there is the potential for corners to be cut, in terms of the proper investigation when looking at criminal cases, and that cannot be allowed. Criminal practitioners must be properly remunerated for the work that is required to protect the defendants' interest. It's a simple matter of justice."
Mr McAlinden said the mood among his colleagues was "one of utter determination to ensure that this action holds for as long as is necessary, so that the message gets across to the minister that enough is enough".
Speaking on the same programme, the justice minister said he had to be "realistic about the money that is available, in terms of protecting the public, in terms of things like essential policing services, prisons, youth justice, probation".
"All of those have to be dealt with within the justice budget and we cannot continue to fund the highest rates of legal aid, and that is the reality of what is being asked."
Mr Ford faced down a similar legal aid strike by solicitors in 2011, but eventually, a number of law firms agreed to work for reduced payments.
The barristers' action only affects new criminal cases, as they will continue with cases that began before the new payment rules came into effect earlier this month.
Pieces believed to date from between 1500 and 1000 BC were unearthed in the Point area.
Scottish Water had been working on a new line when a saddle quern, used for grinding corn, was spotted.
The site was initially thought to be an Iron Age dwelling but experts now believe they are dealing with something older.
The water line has been diverted and the site evaluated by a specialist team.
Archaeologist Alastair Rees said: "The pottery that we first found initially seemed to be from the Iron Age.
"But since then we have found much more pottery and it is definitely Middle Bronze Age, which is much older in date.
"So we have had to rethink the site considerably."
The commission's Single Market Act II has four key aims.
They include fostering mobility of citizens and businesses across borders and making it easier to gain access to finance across the 27 nation EU area.
The act also hopes to strengthen social entrepreneurship and boost consumer confidence.
The commission says the new act should raise employment across the crisis-hit region, particularly for young people.
The crisis in the eurozone is serving as a trigger for a renewed push on deregulation because the need for measures to try to boost jobs and promote growth is more urgent than ever, says BBC Europe correspondent Chris Morris.
The new Single Market Act follows close after the first Single Market Act, which was adopted in April last year. However, key actions proposed by the commission under the first act are currently being discussed by parliament and ministers, and not all of these will be in place by the end of this year.
The commission says that the changes that have been introduced have meant a steep fall in the cost of mobile phone calls and air travel.
By Chris MorrisBBC News, Brussels
At a time of economic crisis, of recession and high unemployment in many EU countries, the Single Market is seen as part of the solution - boosting competition, making trade easier and giving businesses that operate within it access to nearly 500 million consumers.
It is in many ways one of the EU's unalloyed success stories. But the Single Market is by no means complete, and this is another push to try to make it effective in areas which have proved resistant - the transport and energy sectors, for example.
The trouble is the EU has been talking for years about further measures to improve the way the Single Market works - but action has spoken more softly than words.
The crisis in the eurozone is serving as a trigger to shake off some of the complacency, because the need for measures which boost jobs and promote growth is more urgent than ever.
However, the commission says this second act, with a second set of priorities, is now needed to continue expanding ease of investment and movement within the single marketplace.
It contains 12 key ideas under the four headings.
Among the key aims are:
Philippe de Buck, the director general of the business lobby group, Business Europe, said the new act's aims were welcome, but warned it needed political will to ensure it benefited business.
"For the Single Market Act II to deliver growth, it must be accompanied by a renewed commitment from member states, institutions and stakeholders to ensure that single market rules work better in practice and are correctly applied throughout Europe. The new proposals should be carried out swiftly."
The commission will put forward all key legislative proposals of the new act by spring 2013 and the rest by the end of next year.
It hopes that the act will be in force by the spring of 2014.
The European Commissioner for internal market and services, Michel Barnier, said the act provided a chance to kickstart Europe's economy.
"I am convinced that the 12 key actions that we are presenting today will receive the degree of political ownership that they deserve," he said.
"This is our chance to use our golden asset, the single market, to see our social market economy be competitive and thrive again."
The timing of the move comes as something of a blow to the national championship, which kicked off at the weekend, and must now kick on without its biggest star.

I well recall the first time I saw Neymar in the flesh - 24 May 2009, when he came on for Santos against Fluminense in the last 10 minutes with the game in the balance. He set up two goals, drew a red card for the opposing right-back and gave a giant hint that he was going to be something special.
This, of course, is one of the great pleasures served up by the Brazilian championship. Every time I go to a game I am buoyed by the delightful thought that I might get a sneak preview of a young player on his way to global stardom.
Year in, year out, a new crop comes through. Last year my favourites were a couple of left-footers - Botafogo's teenage centre-back Doria, and Fred of Internacional, a quick, busy, talented midfielder.
Fred was the star of the show on Saturday in the game that got this year's championship under way, making one and scoring one as his side came back from two down to draw 2-2 away to Vitoria. The sides ran out of steam in the last 20 minutes. Until then, though, it was an excellent match, and a fine advert for one of the most interesting leagues in the world.
In addition to the production line of young players, the Brazilian championship provides a pleasing air of unpredictability.
True, it is not as wide open as it was a decade ago, when relatively small clubs on a roll could dream of glory. Then the playing field was levelled down, because no-one had any money. Now, though, revenues are booming - Brazil's clubs have doubled their income in the last four years.
This means gaps are opening up, especially because the TV rights are sold on an individual basis. The giant clubs are earning much more than the chasing pack. But there are so many big clubs that there seems little chance of the championship ever turning into a permanent two- or three-horse race for the title.
Santos
Campenato Paulista: 2010, 2011, 2012

And soon there could be some more giant clubs to contest the honours. The traditional heartland of the Brazilian game lies in the big cities of the south east, Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, backed up by the nearby Belo Horizonte and, further south, Porto Alegre.
Clubs from the poorer north east have rarely been contenders, despite their relatively high average crowds. But the region is receiving plenty of investment - it will stage half of this year's Confederations Cup and a third of next year's World Cup - and the hope is that this will help transform the clubs from Salvador and Recife into genuinely national players.
Salvador's rebuilt Fonte Nova stadium certainly looked impressive on Saturday when it played host to the game between Vitoria and Internacional - though the fact the crowd was below 10,000 is somewhat disappointing. The first round of a league campaign is when the 'sold out' signs should be hanging up.
This is in an indication that although the Brazilian championship is good, it could be so much better. Progress is being made - in the stadiums, in a curious new generation of coaches. The clubs are becoming more professional but they continue to exist in a context that is totally amateur.
Power in the Brazilian game lies not with the clubs, but with the 27 state federations - one for every state that makes up this giant country. And power inside these federations lies with those who control the small clubs. The calendar of the Brazilian game is thus dictated by people who essentially represent no-one but themselves. An insignificant tail wags a huge dog.
This helps explain why the national championship kicked off on the very day that the final of Europe's Champions League was taking place - a blunder of monumental ineptitude for a competition crying out for more global attention.
First, from late January to mid-May, there are the state championships, where the giant clubs waste their time taking on tiny teams. Once upon a time, before Brazil had the infrastructure for a national competition, these were important. These days I know hardly anyone in the Brazilian game who does not believe they are well past their sell by date - though in many cases they are happier saying this off the record.

What he said in November 2012: "I don't know when I'm leaving for Europe - I'm happy here in Brazil. I have a dream of playing in Europe, but in my opinion it is still not the right moment."
Did you know? More than 14,000 Brazil fans signed a petition demanding that Neymar be called up for the 2010 World Cup finals.
The existence of the state championships forces Brazilian football to try to fit two pints into a one-pint bottle. The national competition is crammed into available space - kicking off without the pause beforehand that is such a vital part of a long league campaign, and this year having to shut down for a month to accommodate the Confederations Cup.
It is an object lesson in how not to organise a calendar. Why Brazil's big clubs continue to put up with an arrangement so clearly harmful to their interests is one of the biggest mysteries in sport.
And with the clubs operating so far below their potential, the departure of the stars is inevitable.
"Neymar is leaving," wrote Juca Kfouri, one of the country's most respected journalists, "because he grew too big for Brazilian football, with its state championships, its terrible pitches and its calendar that is out of sync with the football world."
He concluded his piece by sadly trotting out one of his favourite sayings: "God gave us the best players and, to even things up, the worst directors."

I live in Columbus, Ohio and like many in the area I have a soft spot for former Boca Juniors and Columbus Crew player Guillermo Barros Schelotto. How is he doing in his first managerial position at Lanus? I saw that Lanus is undefeated thus far in Argentina, just a point off leaders Newell's Old Boys, having only conceded six goals from 14 games. Do Lanus have a chance of overtaking Newell's?
Jacob Mercer
He's not undefeated any more! Form was starting to wobble a bit, and a 3-1 defeat on Sunday means Lanus are now four points behind Newell's and have also been overtaken by River Plate. With just four rounds remaining, the chances are not looking good.
In general, though, Schelotto has made an excellent start to his coaching career. His original plan was to impose an orthodox 4-4-2 on the team, but the players convinced him otherwise - so he has shown the key virtue of being able to listen.

The music and accompanying visual album sparked frenzied conversation and a rush to decipher Beyonce's messages online.
The visual album was released on HBO, followed by the music becoming available on Tidal and iTunes.
We break down five moments that have people talking.
Above anything else, critics and fans are describing Lemonade as an ode to female black empowerment. Black women of all ages are featured throughout the visual album, including Beyonce's own mother and grandmother, who is featured at her birthday party talking about being handed lemons and making lemonade.
Elle editor-at-large and university professor Melissa Harris-Perry wrote of the album: "What would happen if we took the hopes, dreams, pain, joy, loss, bodies, voices, stories, expressions, styles, families, histories, futures of black girls and women and put them in the centre and started from there? Lemonade happens."
Michael Arceneaux, a writer who reviewed both the album and its visual component for Complex Magazine, told the BBC the video depicts Black womanhood "in all its varied beauty". At one point, she features flashes of black women, primarily in the South, as a quote from Malcolm X is read- "The most disrespected person in America is the black woman. The most unprotected person in America is the black woman. The most neglected person in America is the black woman."
Kiana Fitzgerald, who reviewed the album for NPR, told the BBC "it feels like validation, it feels like black women finally have a champion."
"You realise she realises that her experience is rooted within the black female experience."
The mothers of Eric Garner and Michael Brown, black men who were killed by US police, are featured in the video, holding photos of their deceased sons. Also featured is the mother of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager shot dead in Florida.
"People that look like both me and Beyonce are still in danger at any moment should we cross the wrong officer," said Mr Arcenaux. "As painful as it is to be reminded of that, we have to be."
Allusions to Beyonce's husband, American rap artist Jay-Z, cheating on her are rampant in the video, but the message is more nuanced than a simple tale of infidelity.
Beyonce sings of his betrayal with a "Becky with the good hair" - which many on the Internet deciphered to be fashion designer Rachel Roy, who Jay-Z is rumoured to have had an affair with - in the song Sorry.
"It's so much bigger than the 'Becky' line—[it encompasses] her grandmother, mother and the shared experience a lot of women had," said Akilah Hughes, a writer and comedienne in New York City. It is rumoured that Beyonce's mother dealt with infidelity in her marriage, too. "We put up with a lot that we probably shouldn't. It's not a story about a one-time incident, it's a story about people."
The album begins with Beyonce talking about being "crazy" and "jealous", and ends with the case for keeping families together with images and herself with Jay-Z and their daughter Blue Ivy.
Among the famous black women making cameos or inspiring the visual album for Lemonade:
Much of the visual album includes lush imagery of the American South, evoking the Antebellum period and the roots of slavery, Ms Hughes said.
"I think it was a very overt homage, and a beautiful one, of a story we don't like to tell in America - black people who are here have to call this home," she said. Beyonce, an artist with massive commercial appeal, showcases black history in a way Ms Hughes describes as "interesting, refreshing and compelling."
Black women appear in Antebellum-style dresses, against rural, tree-shaded backdrops.
"The South represents black women in all our complicatedness — we are as much impacted by the chains as we are lifted up remembering ourselves as queens," Collier Meyerson, a reporter at Fusion, wrote of the South's role in the visual album.
Ms Hughes called Lemonade the most emotional album Beyonce has ever released. At the end, she lays on a football field, showcases her family and shows groups of black women of all ages coming together and smiling.
"This video project forced me to halt the charade and to reckon with the brokenness of Beyonce. Is it possible Lemonade represents a more durable inheritance of strength?" Alondra Nelson, a professor of sociology and gender studies at Columbia University, writes in Elle.
Beyonce is known for her R&B, soul, pop and hip-hop classics, but in Lemonade she showcases new styles, including rock and roll and country.
On the song Daddy Lessons, she rides a horse and samples a bluesy, country sound. On Don't Hurt Yourself, she evokes rock 'n' roll with some help from Jack White and Led Zeppelin. Vampire Weekend front man Ezra Koenig has a writing credit on the song Pray You Catch Me.
Other artists featured on the album include Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd and James Blake, with more writing credits for Father John Misty, Diplo and Soulja Boy.
"When I first heard it, I was like, is she really going there right now? I feel like she finally stepped into what she could be," NPR's Ms Fitzgerald said. "She is finally where she needs to be."
The rise, determined by July's Retail Prices Index (RPI) inflation measure, will take effect from January.
It comes as research by trade unions suggests rail fares have increased at double the speed of wages since 2010.
But the government said wages were now rising faster than fares, and the rail industry said £50bn was being spent on improving the network.
Ministers have said previously that regulated fares will rise by no more than RPI for the rest of this Parliament.
About half of rail fares in England and Wales are regulated, including season fares on most commuter journeys, some off-peak return tickets on long-distance trips and "anytime" tickets around major cities.
In Scotland, the 1.9% rise applies to regulated peak-time fares (including season tickets), but regulated off-peak fares will only rise by 0.9%.
At the beginning of 2016, the cost of regulated fares went up by 1% in England, Scotland and Wales.
Northern Ireland is treated separately. In March, Stormont announced public bus and rail fares would not rise this year.
While the government sets the cap for the rise in regulated fares, unregulated fares, such as off-peak leisure tickets, can go up by as much as train companies wish.
Analysis by the Trades Union Congress (TUC) and the Action for Rail campaign suggests fares have risen by 25% in the past six years, while average weekly earnings have grown by 12%,
TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said rail passengers were "paying more and getting even less", and called for rail services to be nationalised.
The government said standards were improving and commuters were now getting a better deal.
"Wages are growing faster than train ticket prices thanks to action by the government, and our commitment to cap regulated rail fares in line with inflation will save annual season ticket holders £425 on average in the five years to 2020," said Rail Minister Paul Maynard.
Paul Plummer, chief executive of the Rail Delivery Group, which represents the rail industry, said: "We need to sustain investment to build a modern railway, and money from fares helps us to do this."
He said "nobody wants to pay more" to travel to work, and he understood the frustration in areas where people "aren't getting the service they are paying for".
But he said passenger numbers had "doubled in two decades", creating strain on the railway network, and £50bn was being spent "over the next few years to upgrade it".
He said this would improve reliability, connectivity and ensure more passengers got a seat.
The Campaign for Better Transport, which said the latest increase was a "real slap in the face to long-suffering commuters", reiterated its call for RPI to be scrapped as the measure for fare increases.
It said the government should switch to the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) figure, which is already used for pensions and most benefits.
RPI "consistently over-estimates inflation", and using CPI would "help tackle soaring ticket prices and have only a minimal impacts on revenues", it said.
CPI is almost always lower than RPI, mostly due to the different formulae used to calculate them. RPI includes housing costs such as mortgage interest payments and council tax, whereas CPI does not.
Student nurse Diane Cawood, 31, from Salford in Greater Manchester, said: "I get a bursary of £457 a month to live on.
"My most recent placement was 10 weeks and it cost me £200 a month to commute there on a train which was often late and packed to the rafters with other commuters.
"I worked out that if I passed my driving test and bought, taxed and insured a car as a newly qualified driver, it would still cost me far less than the train. Public transport is supposed to be the cheaper option."
Andrew George Simpson, 28, a chef from Larkhall in South Lanarkshire, said he "could not disagree more" with the government's claim that commuters were now getting a better deal.
He said conditions on his daily commute to Glasgow were "horrendous" and trains were frequently delayed or cancelled with little information given.
Keith Shepherd, 53, a business analyst from Dartford in Kent, said delays on his regular route were "considerably worse than in the bad old days when season ticket prices were reduced to compensate passengers for 'poor' performance".
He added: "My journey has to be delayed by more than 100% of the expected journey time in order to receive any compensation, and even then they use ridiculous calculations to minimise the amount they have to pay."
Manuel Cortes, general secretary of the Transport Salaried Staffs' Association, said private profit was being placed above rail safety.
"Our rail fares are already the highest in Europe and today's increases will only make that record worse," he added.
"It's time that ministers gave rail passengers a break and actually froze fares in real terms."
The union-led Action for Rail group said it was planning to stage protests at a number of stations in England, Scotland and Wales on Tuesday.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has pledged to extend public ownership of the country's bus networks if he becomes prime minister.
Both he and his rival in the upcoming party leadership contest, Owen Smith, have said they would renationalise the railways if they won power.

In a statement, the furniture giant said some articles in Ikea Family Live could be viewed in Russia as gay "propaganda".
The controversial law was approved by President Vladimir Putin in 2013, drawing criticism from rights groups.
They say it has been used to ban gay rights events, a claim Russia denies.
In the statement (in Russian), Ikea said: "When we do business, we observe the legislation of the countries where we work, therefore to avoid violations, we have taken the decision to stop publishing the magazine in Russia."
It said the magazine - which is published in 25 countries - "shows different aspects of people's lives at home, regardless of their age, gender, sexual orientation, nationality and religion".
"The magazine reflects the values ​​of the Ikea company, including equal rights and opportunities for all."
The company's press office in Russia stressed that Ikea had not received any official warnings in Russia related to the "gay propaganda" law, the AFP news agency reports.
Russian authorities have so far not commented on Ikea's move.
Ikea was founded in Sweden in the 1943, and has become one of the most successful multinational companies.
The controversial Russian law envisages heavy fines for anyone providing information about homosexuality to people under 18.
Bottom-of-the-table Worcestershire needed a win to maintain their hopes of survival in the final round of games.
And after a hectic morning they declared on 217-9, a lead of 290.
Scott Borthwick put on 104 with Paul Collingwood (43) and although he departed for 99, Michael Richardson's unbeaten 65 steered Durham to 291-7.
Worcestershire deserved credit for their efforts to force a positive result out of a game which saw no play on the second day because of rain.
They added 175 to their overnight 42-0, Brett D'Oliveira falling one run short of a half-century before Ross Whiteley, named in the England Lions tour squad on Thursday, blasted 47 off 21 balls.
Ryan Pringle (3-45) and Graham Onions (3-63) were the most successful Durham bowlers, with Chris Rushworth only managing one wicket to finish the summer with 83 at an average of 20.61 - and 100 wickets in all competitions.
Shannon Gabriel soon saw off Jack Burnham when Durham began their second innings, but Borthwick and Mark Stoneman added 75 to lay a foundation for the run chase.
Borthwick found the perfect ally in skipper Paul Collingwood, only to fall short of a century when he was lbw to one that kept a little low from D'Oliveira, who took 2-85.
Gabriel (2-56) had Collingwood caught behind soon after but, although Worcestershire continued to pick up wickets, Richardson's calm innings sealed their fate.
The victory was only Durham's second in eight games to end a run of four successive defeats.
Durham coach Jon Lewis told BBC Newcastle:
"It was a much needed win. We've had a couple of difficult months so to put in a performance like that at the end of the season was a good effort from all the lads.
"The batting hasn't functioned well enough. This was a good cricket surface and there was a real good challenge between bat and ball.
"We were getting performances in the first half of the season that were exceptional and in the second half of the season we haven't had as many. The level of the side didn't deteriorate a great deal, but we have to raise the bar across the board."
Durham opener Michael Richardson:
"It got a bit twitchy at the end and the light situation played into our hands a bit.
"It's good for morale and confidence that we have finished with a win. We didn't want to end up stewing on a season of missed opportunities."
Worcestershire director of cricket Steve Rhodes:
"It's disappointing because we made the play in most of this game, but we lost a day to the weather. We set it up well this morning and tried hard, but we didn't bowl quite as well as might have.
"We were also robbed a bit by the light fading. When they were seven down it would have been good to bring Shannon Gabriel back.
"It's been a hard season with no international players and the Collingwood-Borthwick partnership showed the value of experience.
"But other teams know that, in two or three years this group will still be together and they will be a good side."
In a statement, they said: "Sir Terry Wogan died today after a short but brave battle with cancer.
"He passed away surrounded by his family. While we understand he will be missed by many, the family ask that their privacy is respected at this time."
BBC director general Tony Hall said: "Terry truly was a national treasure."
Sir Terry leaves wife Helen and their three children. The couple also had a daughter who died in infancy.

A life in pictures
Your memories
Limerick-born Sir Terry had a 50-year career on radio and television, including presenting Wake up to Wogan on BBC Radio 2 and the Wogan chat show on BBC1.
He was also the voice of Eurovision in the UK for many years and had been involved in the Children in Need appeal since it began in 1980.
BBC Radio 2 controller Bob Shennan said he was "one of the greatest and most popular radio hosts this country has ever heard", adding: "His millions of listeners adored him, as did his whole Radio 2 family. We will miss him enormously and our thoughts at this very sad time are with Helen and all the family."
Lord Hall said: "Terry truly was a national treasure. Today we've lost a wonderful friend.
"He was a lovely, lovely man and our thoughts are with his wife and family. For 50 years Sir Terry graced our screens and airwaves. His warmth, wit and geniality meant that for millions he was a part of the family."
Sir Terry originally went into banking after college before switching careers to join Ireland's national Radio Eireann as a newsreader and announcer.
He moved into light entertainment, as a DJ and host of TV quiz and variety shows in Ireland, before joining the BBC, where he would stay for the rest of his career.
He presented the breakfast show from 1972 to 1984, as The Terry Wogan Show, and then from 1993 to 2009 as Wake Up To Wogan.
Sir Terry in his own words
BBC Radio 4 - Desert Island Discs, Sir Terry Wogan
Sir Terry 'made radio in age of TV'
When Sir Terry met Bowie
He built up a firm fanbase, dubbing his audience the TOGs, or Terry's Old Geezers and Gals.
When he broadcast at breakfast for the final time, he told listeners: "The years together with you have not only been a pleasure but a privilege. You have allowed me to share your lives with you.
"When you tell me how important I have been in your lives it's very moving. You have been every bit as important in mine."
Colleagues of Sir Terry from BBC Radio 2 have paid tribute to him.
Simon Mayo described him as a "radio genius", saying: "The staple of all great radio is the friend behind the microphone - and he was the ultimate friend behind the microphone."
Ken Bruce said: "The voice which has been with us all our lives, in many cases, is no longer there... He was part of the fabric of our lives in so many ways."
Jeremy Vine said Sir Terry was "probably the greatest broadcaster since the invention of the microphone".
"He lived for the red light and the sense that there was a listener at the end of the microphone. He only ever spoke to one person, because the greatest radio is intimate."
By David Sillito, media and arts correspondent
There's a wonderful archive recording of the day President Kennedy visited Ireland in 1963.
The man capturing the scene for RTE - of people pushing past the police cordon - is a young Terry Wogan.
His accent is a little stronger, but he is definitely the Terry Wogan that was still broadcasting 50 years later.
The man you met off camera was very much the man you heard on air and it was obviously a gift - a gift for sounding natural, real.
Fellow Radio 2 presenter Paul O'Grady says there was no falsehood about him and that captures it perfectly - people can sniff out inauthenticity in a second and whether you liked him or not, there was nothing phony about him.
However, what made that extraordinary is that he could access that wit and apposite comment again and again, year after year, in front of huge audiences on Children in Need and the Eurovision Song Contest.
Live broadcasting is terrifying - things are always going wrong and a poorly chosen word or a comment that misses the mark can haunt you for years.
Yet with Sir Terry, I can't think of one. It's a clever man who can make that look easy.
Graham Norton, who took over as Eurovision commentator from Sir Terry, said on Twitter: "He made it seem effortless and for a young boy in Ireland he made it seem possible. RIP Sir Terry Wogan."
Current breakfast show host Chris Evans wrote: "We are all so terribly sad upon hearing of the passing of Terry. I can't put into words how the whole Radio 2 family is feeling."
Tony Blackburn said: "He was part of our lives, a real radio legend. He loved what he was doing and he gave an enormous amount of pleasure."
Dermot O'Leary said that, growing up in an Irish family, Sir Terry was "a signpost of home".
He described Sir Terry as "one of the foundations of broadcasting in this country", adding: "You feel his presence around Radio 2... He's the bedrock of the place."
Bond star Sir Roger Moore praised Sir Terry's charity work, tweeting: "Terry was the most brilliant fundraiser. My fav memory was when someone bid 75k for CIN [Children in Need] to have lunch with us both. A privilege."
Dara O Briain tweeted: "Terribly sad news about Terry Wogan dying. Hard to quantify what he achieved, not just in broadcasting but for the Irish in Britain.
"Hard to separate what he achieved & the accent he did it in, from the times in which he did it. And opened to the door to all who followed."
Tess Daly, who presented Children in Need alongside Sir Terry, said: "So, so sad at the news Sir Terry has passed away. He was the funniest, kindest man, it was a huge privilege to work with him & a joy to know him."
Prime Minister David Cameron wrote on Twitter: "My thoughts are with Terry Wogan's family. Britain has lost a huge talent - someone millions came to feel was their own special friend."
President of Ireland Michael D Higgins said: "Always proud of his origins in Limerick, he made many returns to his native country for television and radio projects.
"His rise to the top of radio listenership in the United Kingdom was a great tribute to his breadth of knowledge and in particular his unique, very personal sense of humour."
BBC Radio director Helen Boaden said: "He was an extraordinary broadcaster but also incredibly good fun, and will be sorely missed."
Sir Terry made his BBC debut on the Light Programme, now Radio 2, and in 1969 was asked to stand in for Jimmy Young on the mid-morning show, which led to a regular afternoon slot.
He took over the breakfast show on Radio 2 in 1972 and was an immediate hit.
Sir Terry first covered Eurovision for television in 1973 and from 1980 to 2008, he provided the commentary every year for the BBC.
His chat show, Wogan, ran from 1982 to 1992, eventually being broadcast three times a week. During that time, he also hosted quiz show Blankety Blank.
Sir Terry anchored the Children in Need appeal from when it was first broadcast, continuing to host it after retiring from regular broadcasting.
Stevie Spring, chairman of Children in Need, said: "Most people know him as the face of Children in Need, but he's the heart of the charity and has been for 35 years."
In 1992 he returned to the Radio 2 breakfast show, after a break of nine years. He announced his retirement in September 2009, making his final regular appearance three months later.
From February 2010, he hosted a live show on Sunday mornings for the radio station.
Sir Terry was last on air on Radio 2 on 8 November 2015.

The One Show: A Tribute to Sir Terry will be broadcast at 19:00 GMT on Monday 1 February.

Police investigating dissident republican activity carried out searches in Melvin Road and Ballycolman Estate on Tuesday evening.
It followed the discovery of a mortar bomb in a graveyard at the weekend.
Spt Mark McEwan said: "This rifle was in control of people who were intent in killing police officers."
He added: "The gun has now been taken out of circulation which is a good thing.
"This could have caused fatalities or serious harm to members of the community."
He said the operation was intelligence-led and it ended at 02:00 GMT on Wednesday.
"There are a number of lines inquiry at the moment about what type of attack this could have been," he said.
"The threat to police officers across the service is severe.
"We believe that anyone involved in terrorist activity will always be in possession of articles to carry out attacks."
SDLP councillor Patsy Kelly said: "Those committed to violence have nothing to offer the people of Strabane."
Sinn Fein councillor Brian McMahon added: "Violent dissident republicans need to listen to the will of the people who don't support their campaign and just want to get on with their lives."
The Addicks' Jorge Teixeira struck a vital late winner against Birmingham on Saturday despite a fan protest against club owner Roland Duchatelet.
"Despite everything going on, the team and manager are still a really tough unit," McCarthy told BBC Radio Suffolk.
"I'm kind of pleased they won. They're not coming back where they need a reaction," he added.
Jose Riga's Charlton arrive in East Anglia in good form, having picked up 10 points from their last five fixtures.
Ipswich on the other hand have seen a reversal in fortunes. Having won only one of their last five games, the club sit five points off the play-offs.
"I've looked at some of the fixtures and we've got Derby, Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wednesday," McCarthy added.
"I thought 'well all the fixtures are tough games, we've all got them'. Quite a few of us have got to play each other."
Despite Charlton's 2-1 win over Blues, they remain six points from safety in 23rd after Fulham defeated MK Dons.
"Let me tell you they (Charlton) haven't been a closed book," said McCarthy. "When they have got the ball they have been quite expansive, but when they lose it they get back and defend their half.
"It will be great if it turns out to be an open game, but I'm not sure that will be the case." | Learning a foreign language should be made compulsory in primary schools here, a new report has said.

Hamilton, who missed most of Friday's second after a crash, was off the German's pace throughout and ended up fourth, half a second off the pace.
The Briton unusually took a second set of new tyres late in the session but made the latest in a series of errors.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen was second - just 0.002 seconds slower than Rosberg.
The Dutchman's team-mate Daniel Ricciardo was third ahead of the Ferraris of Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel.
Ricciardo was 0.463secs slower than Verstappen but did not do a qualifying simulation run late in the session.
Hamilton will be spending the break before qualifying at 13:00 BST working with his engineers on improving the car, on a track at which he has excelled since the start of his F1 career.
The world champion has won at the Hungaroring four times - sharing the record with Michael Schumacher - and came into the weekend determined to take Mercedes' first win here in the hybrid era after difficult races in 2014 and 2015.
Hamilton is one point behind Rosberg in the championship and wants to go into the summer break after next weekend's German Grand Prix with a lead.
But the crash on Friday afternoon appears to have set him back this weekend.
He felt on Friday afternoon that he would be able to recover from the accident, which happened after only 10 minutes of the second session and forced him to sit out the rest of it.
But he did not look comfortable out on track on Saturday morning, making a series of mistakes.
Hamilton was nearly a second off Rosberg after the set-up work of the first 40 minutes was completed, after which he complained of overheating in the cockpit.
His seat was changed before Hamilton headed out for the qualifying simulation laps in the final minutes of the session but he ended up 0.508secs behind Rosberg.
At that point, he returned to the pits for a second new set of tyres, presumably to try the car again to see if he could improve, but ran off the track at the fast, blind-entry Turn Four and failed to improve.
Fernando Alonso was an impressive seventh for McLaren, narrowly ahead of Williams' Valtteri Bottas, Force India's Sergio Perez and a strong performance from Jolyon Palmer in the Renault.
The Englishman was two places and 0.054secs ahead of team-mate Kevin Magnussen.

Companies now have permission to bid to redevelop the square, after approval by Swansea council on Thursday.
A developer has already submitted proposals to build three "quality restaurants" there and refurbish the site.
Council leader Rob Stewart said the square was "tired" but could be transformed.
The city park would form part of the planned regeneration of Swansea which was unveiled by the council in January.
A public open spaces notice will now be published, giving people the chance to give their views.
Proposals will then be invited, with the council to consider whether the schemes could affect public access or events.
Mr Stewart said: "Castle Square is looking tired, but it's a key location that has the potential to become a special destination in a revitalised Swansea city centre.
"If cabinet agrees to the consideration of redevelopment opportunities at Castle Square, then a marketing exercise could lead to the potential for private investment, which would be a good thing.
"This would reduce costs to the taxpayer, but we will also protect public access and usage in any future scheme."
The council said preliminary discussions have also started with retailers, restaurants, cinema operators and housing developers as part of the redevelopment of the St David's and Civic Centre sites.
Almost 2,000 pregnant women now have the virus, Colombia's National Health Institute said, out of the more than 20,000 people infected across Colombia.
The mosquito-borne virus has been linked to babies being born with abnormally small brains.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has warned Zika is "spreading explosively", predicting up to 4m cases this year.
Colombia says it expects the overall number of people to be infected to rise to more than 500,000 by the end of 2016.
On Monday, the WHO meets to decide whether Zika should be treated as a global emergency.
Brazil has been worst affected by the outbreak, followed by Colombia, but more than 20 other countries have seen cases.
Jamaica and Peru reported their first confirmed cases over the weekend, with Peruvian President Ollanta Humala urging calm and stressing that the patient contracted the disease outside of the country.
Zika: What you need to know
Mothers' fears amid outbreak
Tracing the origins of Zika
Zika symptoms are mild, causing a low fever, joint pain, headaches, a rash and conjunctivitis.
But concern surrounds a surge in babies born with microcephaly, or abnormally small heads, from mothers infected with Zika. A link has not been confirmed.
Colombia has also said it has seen an increase in cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare disorder that can cause temporary paralysis, that has also been linked to Zika.
The outbreak has sparked health warnings and eradication campaigns, with Brazil deploying troops and Colombia launching a mass fumigation campaign to fight mosquitoes.
Colombia and other Latin American countries have advised women to delay getting pregnant for the moment.
Kim Jong-il, North Korea's "Dear Leader", was in the process of grooming Kim Jong-un as his successor when he died on 17 December 2011.
Immediately after his father's death, the younger Kim was hailed as "the great successor". He was named head of the party, state and army within a fortnight of his father's death.
In January 2016, Mr Kim shot to global headlines again when he oversaw what the regime claimed was an underground hydrogen bomb test - its second nuclear test since he came to power.
Previously, his most high-profile act had been to purge and execute his uncle, Chang Song-thaek, who state media said had been plotting a coup, in December 2013.
Little is still known about the elusive young man who is the youngest son of Kim Jong-il and his late third wife Ko Yong-hui.
Born in 1983 or early 1984, he was initially not thought to be in the frame to take up his father's mantle.
Analysts focused their attention on his half-brother Kim Jong-nam and older full brother Kim Jong-chol.
However Kim Jong-nam's deportation from Japan in May 2001 and middle brother Kim Jong-chol's apparent "unmanliness" improved his chances.
Analysts saw him as the coming man after he was awarded a series of high-profile political posts.
Swiss-educated like his brothers, Kim Jong-un avoided Western influences, returning home when not in school and dining out with the North Korean ambassador.
After his return to Pyongyang, he is known to have attended the Kim Il-sung Military University.
His mother was thought to be Kim Jong-il's favourite wife, and she clearly doted on her son, reportedly calling him the "Morning Star King".
In his 2003 book, I Was Kim Jong-il's Chef, a Japanese man writing under the pseudonym Kenji Fujimoto also claimed that Kim Jong-un was his father's favourite.
In August 2010 Kim Jong-il visited China. One South Korean TV station cited a South Korean official as saying Kim Jong-un had accompanied his father on the trip.
Some reports speculated that he had been anointed successor partly because of his resemblance to North Korea's founder Kim Il-sung.
A few North Korea watchers went so far as to say that he may have had plastic surgery to enhance the resemblance, in a country where the deification of the Kim family is at the heart of its grip on power.
Mr Kim made his first public speech as North Korea marked the 100th anniversary of the birthday of Kim Il-sung on 15 April 2012, praising the "military first" doctrine and vowing the time his nation could be threatened was "forever over".
"Superiority in military technology is no longer monopolised by imperialists," he said, adding: "We have to make every effort to reinforce the people's armed forces."
Not much was known of Mr Kim's personal life until television footage of an unidentified woman attending events with him surfaced. In July 2012, state media announced that Mr Kim was married to "Comrade Ri Sol-ju".
Little is know of Ms Ri, but her stylish appearance - short, chic haircut and Western dress - led some analysts to suggest that she was from an upper-class family and that she fits Mr Kim's efforts to project a more relaxed image compared to his predecessors.
Details surrounding the marriage of Mr Kim to Ms Ri remain unclear. Most reports had suggested that Ms Ri may have been a singer who caught Mr Kim's attention during a performance.
Aside from attending official events, the couple's public appearances have included visits to an amusement park and watching a concert featuring Disney characters.
American basketball star Dennis Rodman, who met Mr Kim in 2013 and 2014, told The Guardian newspaper that Mr Kim had a daughter.
In 2012, Mr Kim was appointed marshal - the highest military rank - following a high-level military reshuffle in which army chief Ri Yong-ho was removed.
Since then some of North Korea's actions have elicited condemnation from the international community.
A few months into his leadership, in April 2012, North Korea launched a rocket which it said would put a satellite into orbit. The unsuccessful launch was seen by many as a banned test of long-range missile technology.
This attempt was followed by a successful launch of a satellite into space, using a three-stage rocket, in December 2012. South Korea, Japan and the US said the launch was a disguised missile test, and the UN Security Council unanimously approved a resolution condemning the launch and tightening sanctions.
In February 2013, North Korea carried out a third nuclear test, said to be twice as big as the 2009 test. This resulted in fresh sanctions from the UN Security Council.
In April 2013, heightened tension in the peninsula saw North Korea withdraw workers from the Kaesong industrial zone, jointly run with South Korea and the last symbol of inter-Korean co-operation. The zone was reopened in the following September after negotiations.
In January 2016, the regime made an as-yet unproven claim that it had successfully carried out its first underground hydrogen bomb test, triggering a global outcry and fears that the state, which has few allies, had acquired a more advanced nuclear capability than previously known.
The purge of his uncle in late 2013 caused international concern. Mr Chang was vice-chairman of the powerful National Defence Commission who sat at the heart of the country's leadership, and was seen as a major figure in Mr Kim's administration.
In his first public reference to the execution in a message broadcast on 1 January 2014, Mr Kim spoke of the "elimination of factionalist filth".

Rodgers, 32, claimed the S7 50m freestyle before anchoring the medley relay team to success to take her tally to five golds in total.
Millward, 34, won the S9 400m freestyle and joined Rodgers, Claire Cashmore and Harriet Lee in the relay.
Steph Slater won Britain's other gold with success in the S8 50m freestyle.
There were silvers for Ellie Robinson (S6 50m butterfly) and Bethany Firth in the SM14 200m individual medley, the latter finishing ahead of team-mate Jessica-Jane Applegate, while Tom Hamer (SM14 medley) and Andrew Mullen (S5 50m freestyle) won bronze.
It means GB end the event, the last major test before September's Rio Paralympics, with 46 medals, including 22 golds.
"I just gave it everything and it's great to end the week on a high," said Rodgers, who beat Germany's Denise Grahl by 0.45 seconds to retain the individual title she won in Eindhoven two years ago.
"I like when it is a tight race - it can be hard when you've just got the clock and nothing else."
In the relay, Millward gave Britain a solid start and they were second after the first 100m before Lee put the quartet into the lead.
She and Cashmore gave Rodgers a sizeable 11-second advantage and the latter held on in the freestyle despite the Russian team closing.
"It means the world," added Rodgers. "These girls were amazing. I always need them to give me a great leg and they really did and they gave me such a lead so I just needed to hang on."
"As a team we really wanted to show our dominance going into Rio," said Cashmore. "I think we definitely did that."
While national performance director Chris Furber was delighted with the team's display, he knows there are more difficult tests ahead this summer.
"We've benchmarked ourselves against some of the best in the world and we now need to continue the momentum between now and Rio," he said.
Ian Stewart, 56, denies murdering Helen Bailey and dumping her body in order to inherit her fortune.
He said one of the men attacked him on the day the Electra Brown writer vanished and warned he would not "see Helen again" if he spoke to police.
Mr Stewart claimed the men had hounded the writer over past business dealings.
Ms Bailey was last seen on 11 April and reported missing by Mr Stewart on 15 April 2016.
She was found beneath the garage at her home, together with that of her dachshund Boris, on 15 July.
The 56-year-old is accused of sedating and murdering his partner before dumping her body in a foul cesspit beneath their garage.
He told his trial at St Albans Crown Court that he lied to Ms Bailey's friends, family and the police about her whereabouts out of fear for her life.
Two men, whom he knew only as Nick and Joe, were said to have been old business associates of her first husband, John Sinfield.
Stewart claimed he was attacked by the tattooed thug called Nick on his doorstep last spring.
He told the court: "As I opened the door, he pushed me back into the hall and he must have tripped me at some point.
"He said: 'Helen is with us, she is helping us solve a problem, don't tell anyone'.
"He said: 'Sorry, we have taken Helen and Boris with us', he said 'we will be back we will see you Friday, if anyone asks tell them she's gone Broadstairs (Kent), don't tell anyone in any way'.
"He then said: 'If you tell anyone you won't see Helen again'."
Mr Stewart continued: "I was still on the floor, I was winded and my eyes were watering and he then hit me again and said: 'Do you understand?' and I nodded.
"He then quoted my telephone number at me and asked if that was correct and I just nodded.
"I was shocked and confused, it was so odd," he added.
The defendant claimed Joe had visited the house earlier and demanded if Ms Bailey knew about his old business dealings, before saying, in hushed tones: "Just think about this."
Mr Stewart, of Baldock Road, Royston, Hertfordshire, denies murder, preventing a lawful burial, fraud, and three counts of perverting the course of justice.
The trial continues.
The 24-year-old, who won promotion to Ligue 1 under Foxes manager Claudio Ranieri when he was at Monaco, joins the Premier League champions for an undisclosed fee.
He joined Nice in 2013 and made 110 league appearances for the club.
Mendy is Leicester's third summer signing after goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler and defender Luis Hernandez.

Mendy played in all of Nice's games last season as they finished fourth in France's top flight.
He played five times for France Under-21s but is yet to make an appearance for his country's senior side.
Residents of Aird Uig on Lewis have registered an interest in taking over buildings at Gallan Head.
They were used by the RAF, and later the Ministry of Defence, during the Cold War then by Nato until recently.
The community wants to take advantage of the area's dark skies and marine wildlife.
It has been suggested that a hydrophone could be installed in the sea below Aird Uig to allow people to listen to whales.
Martin Hayes, chairman of the Gallan Head Community Trust, said he believed the observatory would be the first in the isles and the land involved could be purchased at low, or, no cost.
He said: "There will have to be an independent valuation but we believe the land is more a liability than an asset.
"The remediation costs are something like between £300,000 and £500,000. There are 14 redundant buildings on the site - we would use some of them."
He added: "The village was never told what the base was used for - it was all top secret.
"But we have to generate income to keep the village going and this is our chance."
Everyone wanted tariff-free access to EU markets, the shadow chancellor said.
But there was a debate on-going within the Labour Party about whether the best option was continued membership or a separate agreement, he added.
Jeremy Corbyn has suggested the single market is "inextricably linked" to EU membership and the UK cannot remain.
Speaking on Sunday, the Labour leader said leaving the EU meant leaving the EU's internal market - whose members must abide by rules on the free movement of goods, capital, services, and labour.
The party's international trade spokesman, Barry Gardiner, has gone further, saying the UK should also rule out remaining in the customs union beyond any transitional period, claiming that failing to do so would make the UK a "vassal state" unable to negotiate sovereign trade deals.
However, many Labour MPs disagree with both positions - arguing that it is in the UK's economic interests to remain in both. They point out there are non-EU members, like Norway, which have full access to the single market and countries such as Turkey which belong to the customs union.
And Welsh first minister Carwyn Jones is arguing Labour should be pushing for the UK to remain in the single market - even though it might mean not being able to impose any controls on immigration from the EU.
Mr McDonnell insisted Labour had a "straightforward" position on the type of access the UK needed to its largest market after it leaves the EU in March 2019.
"Our objective is tariff-free access to the market," he said. "That has been our objective since immediately after the referendum.
"The structures - whether we are in or out - are a secondary matter.
"We are not ruling anything out but what we are saying is that we are the fifth largest economy in the world and we have a special status in both our relationship with the EU and the rest of the globe and we feel we can get a deal that achieves tariff-free access."
Pressed on whether he and Mr Corbyn disagreed on the matter, he said: "I think we are all on the same page with regard to our objectives... there is a debate around whether it is full membership or a new relationship or a separate agreement.
"What we are saying is keep our eye on what is the most important objective, tariff-free access. We can achieve that."
The BBC's assistant political editor Norman Smith said there was a "deep internal divide" within the party and the shadow chancellor was seeking to "soften" the party's stance following a backlash by pro-EU MPs and trade unionists over Mr Corbyn and Mr Gardiner's remarks
Amid signs of growing internal strains over Brexit, the former shadow health secretary Heidi Alexander said she had never felt "more concerned" about her party's position.
"My colleague Barry Gardiner's contribution to the Brexit debate, in which he argues for the UK to come out of the single market and customs union to facilitate Brexit was, for me, depressing and disingenuous in equal measure," she wrote in the Guardian.
She accused her colleague of using arguments on sovereignty, immigration and the legal jurisdiction that "could have come straight out of Tory Central Office", Instead, she said Labour must focus on the damage posed to those on low and middle incomes of a so-called hard Brexit.
The government has said the UK will leave the single market and customs union but could maintain some existing arrangements for an interim period to help British business adjust.
Officers have also targeted but not fire Tasers at 13-year-olds, Freedom of Information statistics requested by the Greater London Authority (GLA) Conservatives show.
The Tories said officers should use cameras connected to their Tasers to protect "the most vulnerable".
The Met said recent figures had showed a reduction in the use of Tasers.
Andrew Boff, leader of the GLA Conservatives, has called for officers to start using new body-worn cameras on their uniforms that are designed to activate automatically when the Taser is taken from its holster.
The Los Angeles Police Department already use cameras to record Taser incidents and the Met Police are currently trialling body cameras across 10 London boroughs, but they a not activated when Tasers are used.
Mr Boff said Tasers were "an important tool in public safety," but without context their use on the elderly or children was "questionable."
He said: "Body-worn cameras triggered by the use of the Taser would capture the events leading to a needed intervention.
"They have been shown to increase accountability whilst reducing complaints, protecting both police officers and the most vulnerable in society."
Tasers fire two darts with a five-second, 50,000-volt charge, which can temporarily disable its target.
The Met's website states the devices have been used by specially trained officers as an additional option to manage situations where violence is threatened or likely from a safe distance.
The Freedom of Information data obtained by Mr Boff showed in 2013 and 2014, Tasers were:
In 2013 and 2014, the Met used Tasers in 4,105 incidents, including firing them 503 times, according to figures.
The Met said the most recent Home Office figures showed there had been a reduction of 11.7% in the use of them.
The figures from October 2014 said Tasers had been fired 992 times from January to June 2014, compared to 1124 times from July to December 2013.
A Met Police spokesman added: "The MPS currently has in the region of 1,000 body-worn video cameras deployed as part of a year-long pilot. This is thought to be the world's largest trial."
The combined company will have almost 400 million customers, accounting for 35% of the market share, the firms said in a statement.
The announcement ends months of speculation over an impending deal.
Analysts say the merger was to fend off competition from a new operator - Reliance Jio.
Telecom giant sparks India price war
Vodafone's Indian unit in merger talks
Owned by the country's richest man, Mukesh Ambani, Jio has forced Vodafone India and Idea Cellular, together with current market leader Bharti Airtel, to cut prices.
Shares in Idea rose almost 4% in Mumbai following the announcement of the deal.
India's leading mobile networks are embroiled in what analysts have described as "a vicious price war", started by the arrival of Jio.
More than 10 telecom operators are battling it out to try to attract India's one billion mobile phone users.
That has forced firms to keep tariffs low, significantly affecting their profitability.
It was interesting that both companies decided to hold an off-camera press conference to announce such a big merger.
But midway through the conference, it became clear that there were still many operational issues which needed to be ironed out.
How will they brand the new entity? Who will be the new CEO? These questions were not answered at the press conference.
It will take 18-20 months for the whole merger process to complete. Some job cuts are also expected as both the firms align operations to trim costs.
But the merger should ring in good news for customers because the new entity is expected to slash prices to compete with Reliance Jio.
McStay, 51, deftly avoided criticising manager Ronny Deila but did say that decisions on the club's strategy should be made at the end of the season.
"There's a league to be won and we're on schedule to do that," he said.
"If you come out now and do something drastic it might have some detrimental effect on the team."
Deila's future has been the centre of much speculation since Sunday's Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Rangers.
It was the third consecutive semi-final loss for the Norwegian, who has failed to progress through Champions League qualifying in his two seasons at Celtic Park.
"European football is what it's all about just now and a massive organisation like Celtic will want to make sure they have things in place for a strong challenge next year," said McStay.
The former Scotland midfielder, who played more than 500 games for Celtic between 1981 and 1997, did stress that he does not feel any sympathy for the under-pressure manager.
"I don't feel sorry for Ronny from the point of view that he is managing one of the biggest clubs in the world," he said.
"Ronny will have been delighted to have been given that opportunity.
"He has given it his best shot and he will continue to do that I think between now and the end of the season.
"I or any coach would love to have had an opportunity like that, so I think he should enjoy it and try to achieve the best he can. That means winning the league."
Deila is on course for a second successive league title, with Celtic enjoying an eight-point lead over Aberdeen going into the last five fixtures.
"I've never met Ronny but I've got a lot of respect for the guy," said McStay. "He comes across as a really good person.
"Right now he's still in a job so I would just leave it at that and allow him to go and hopefully win his second championship."
Former Derby County boss Clement was appointed on Tuesday following the departure of Bob Bradley last week.
The long-serving Curtis, 62, played more than 350 games for the Swans and has been caretaker manager on three occasions and was in charge for the 2-1 win at Crystal Palace.
The club have so far declined to comment.
When Clement's arrival was confirmed, Swansea also announced Nigel Gibbs had been appointed assistant coach, with Karl Halabi named head of physical performance, with both arriving from Tottenham Hotspur.
Ex-Wales international Curtis has held a number of coaching roles with Swansea, and was appointed first-team coach by Michael Laudrup - a role he subsequently kept under Garry Monk, Francesco Guidolin and Bradley.
The former Leeds and Southampton forward has previously been assistant manager, youth team manager and Football in the Community officer at Swansea.
As a player he scored 32 goals during the club's promotion season in 1977-78 and was part of the team managed by John Toshack promoted to the old First Division in 1981.
The £379 ($544) device is designed to survive a 2m drop on to concrete and can operate in temperatures ranging from -20C to 60C.
Rival firm Caterpillar has already established itself as a brand in the physically tougher smartphone sector.
The so-called "tough phone" market is flourishing, a retailer told the BBC.
"Lots of people in the trade and construction industries, as well as outdoor sports enthusiasts, have realised that just having a thicker case isn't going to see them through," said James Booker, purchasing manager at UK firm Tuffphones.
To be be certified as a "tough phone", handsets have to undergo more rigorous physical tests, including being subjected to tumbling - turned over and over inside a device for long periods of time, Mr Booker explained.
They also have to be water and dust proof.
Because they are sturdier, they can also incorporate a bigger battery, he added - the Dewalt phone claims to offer up to eight hours of talk time.
"One of the main things about traditional smartphones is that they are svelte and slim - there's an obvious correlation with how large a battery they can get in there," Mr Booker said.
While most of its specifications are fairly standard for the sector, Dewalt's MD501 phone comes with in-built QI wireless charging, which is unusual, he added.
Its touchscreen is made of commercially manufactured Gorilla Glass - a highly robust but thin type of glass that works with gloved hands.
The handset is a collaboration with Global Mobile Communications, a rugged phone specialist.
Mountain guides found the frozen remains during a climb on Saturday.
They were still wearing their backpacks and investigators hope a camera found nearby may yield clues about their identity and what happened to them.
Chimborazo is Ecuador's highest mountain at 6,268m (20,565ft).
The bodies were found under layers of ice at a height of 5,650m.
In 1994, seven French climbers and three Ecuadorean guides went missing on the Chimborazo volcano after an avalanche.
Ecuadorean officials have asked relatives of the missing French climbers to come forward to help determine the identities of the bodies.
Investigator Fernando de la Torre said the bodies would have to be left to defrost naturally before they can be examined.
Forensic experts say they want to avoid damaging clothing on the dead climbers, which may yield clues as to who they are and when they died.
Chimborazo, a dormant volcano, is popular with climbers, but avalanches and melting snow and ice can make it risky.
The 14-year-old girl was grabbed by three men and pulled into the town's Grade-II listed Valley Gardens at about 04:00 GMT on 16 February, police said.
The man, aged 25, from Harrogate, was arrested on Friday, said officers.
Along with a man arrested on 17 February, he will remain on police bail while the investigation into the attack near Harlow Moor Drive continues.
HSBC, Credit Suisse and the Royal Bank of Scotland-owned Coutts Trustees all feature in the leaked Panama Papers.
The revelations in the papers are based on more than 11 million documents from Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca.
They name lenders said to have helped to set up structures making it hard for tax officials to pinpoint money flows.
They also name institutions alleged to have helped firms that were subject to international sanctions.
Rami Makhlouf is the cousin of Syria's President Bashar al-Assad and has reported wealth of $5bn.
In 2008 the US Treasury imposed sanctions on him because it deemed him to be a "regime insider" and someone who "manipulated the Syrian judicial system and used Syrian intelligence officials to intimidate his business rivals".
Mossack Fonseca continued to front six businesses - including one company called Drex Technologies - for Mr Makhlouf after the restrictions were put in place. The files also show the Swiss branch of HSBC provided financial services for the firm.
In 2010, two years after the sanctions were imposed, HSBC wrote to Mossack Fonseca saying it believed Drex Technologies was a company of "good standing".
An internal email from Mossack Fonseca's compliance department also suggests HSBC staff dealing with Drex Technologies knew who Rami Makhlouf was.
The email, dated 17 February 2011, says: "We have contacted HSBC who stated that they are very aware of the fact that Mr Makhlouf is the cousin of the President of Syria.
"The HSBC compliance department of the bank not only in Geneva but also in their headquarters in London know about Mr Makhlouf and confirm that they are comfortable with him."
In response HSBC said: "We work closely with the authorities to fight financial crime and implement sanctions.
"Our policy is clear that offshore accounts can only remain open either where clients have been thoroughly vetted (including due diligence, 'Know Your Customer', source of wealth, and tax transparency checks), where authorities ask us to maintain an account for the purposes of monitoring activity, or where an account has been frozen based on sanctions obligations."
The Panama Papers leak has revealed that more than 500 banks, including their subsidiaries and branches, registered nearly 15,600 shell companies with Mossack Fonseca.
Credit Suisse chief executive Tidjane Thiam said: "We do not condone structures for tax avoidance. Whenever there is a structure with a third party beneficiary we insist to know the identity of that beneficiary."
He added: "We as a company, as a bank only encourage the use of structures when there is a legitimate economic purpose."
And a spokesman for Coutts Trustees said the bank followed the highest standards when complying with regulation.
He added: "We require all clients to be tax compliant as a condition of receiving our products and services and take a risk-based approach to identify and prevent tax evasion that relies upon extensive anti-money laundering systems and controls, including the requirement to understand the source of clients' wealth.
"The provision of trust and administration services is an entirely legitimate and key aspect of wealth management and succession planning."
The author of the acclaimed 1977 Glasgow detective novel Laidlaw had been ill for a short time.
Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon tweeted: "Shedding a tear at news of Willie McIlvanney's death. His writing meant so much to me when I was growing up. RIP."
McIlvanney is survived by his partner Siobhan, daughter Siobhan and son Liam.
Rebus author Ian Rankin described his death as "dreadful news".
He said: "A truly inspired and inspiring author and an absolute gent."
Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh said: "Absolutely gutted to hear this. An inspirational writer and one of the loveliest guys you could hope to meet."
McIlvanney, describbed as The Godfather of Tartan Noir, was born in Kilmarnock and was the most-celebrated Scottish novelist of the 1970s.
His 1975 novel Docherty brought him widespread acclaim before Laidlaw was hailed for changing the face of crime fiction.
His older brother, renowned sports writer Hugh McIlvanney, has previously said William's writing always represented the voice and experience of ordinary folk but also their "great intelligence" and "vivid expression".
"If you were in a pub in Kilmarnock, evidence of intelligence or a capacity to use words properly actually meant more than being hard," he said.
"They had a lot of respect for hard men but they had even more respect for the word."
William McIlvanney went to Glasgow University in 1955 and left in 1959 "transformed" and with a desire to be a writer.
However, he spent most of the next two decades as a teacher at an Ayrshire high school before he pursued writing full-time.
His first novel Remedy is None came out in 1966 but it was Docherty, in 1975, which brought him into the limelight.
It earned him praise as "the authentic voice of the Scottish working class".
McIvanney once said: "I remember an old ex-miner shaking my hand and crying and saying 'you've written my story, son'."
Min Aung Hlaing said the military would "do what is best in co-operation with the new government during the post-election period".
Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy is on track for a majority, taking about 80% of declared seats.
But a quarter of parliamentary seats are allocated to the military, meaning it will remain hugely influential.
Last weekend's vote was Myanmar's first openly contested general election for 25 years.
The NLD won elections decisively in 1990 - only for the result to be nullified and Ms Suu Kyi placed under long-term house arrest.
President Thein Sein and Min Aung Hlaing have congratulated Ms Suu Kyi on her party's performance in the polls, though have not formally conceded defeat. They have agreed to hold talks on national reconciliation with her after the final results are announced.
More than 47% of results have been declared so far, and on Thursday morning, the NLD were said to be 38 seats short of a majority.
The ruling military-backed Union Solidarity Development Party (USDP) - which won the last, widely criticised election five years ago - has so far gained about 5% of the seats being contested in Myanmar, also known as Burma.
Four possible outcomes: how the NLD could win but not come out on top
What the election means in one sleepy but crucial town:
Aung San Suu Kyi: international symbol of peaceful resistance
Elections explained: Why does this vote matter?
US President Barack Obama called Myanmar's President Thein Sein on Thursday to congratulate him and the country on "a historic free and fair general election", government spokesman U Ye Htut has said.
"And second he also wants to congratulate the NLD for their success in the election," U Ye Htut told the BBC.
President Thein Sein has also pledged that his government "will respect the people's decision and choice and will hand over power as scheduled".
Full profile
About 30 million people were eligible to vote in Sunday's election in Myanmar. Turnout was estimated at about 80%.
However, hundreds of thousands of people - including the Muslim Rohingya minority, who are not recognised as citizens - were denied voting rights.
A quarter of the 664 parliamentary seats are set aside for the army and a handful were not contested, leaving 491 seats.
For the NLD to have the winning majority and be able to select the president, it will need at least two-thirds of those seats.
Highfields Community Association, which runs the Highfields Centre, is to lose nearly £300,000.
The group said the building in Melbourne Road was well used.
But city mayor Peter Soulsby has rejected this, insisting the group had not made best use of the building and was financially irresponsible.
Five years ago the city council agreed to the Highfields Community centre - which provides a wide range of services for people living in the area - being independently run.
However, the authority still provided £293,000 a year while it worked to become "self-sustaining".
Now Mr Soulsby has announced funding will stop for a number of reasons, including lack of a business plan, and the centre being "significantly under-used".
He said: "In all my years of experience of working with the council and in local government this has been the most difficult group I have ever experienced.
"They really haven't wanted to enter into any sensible discussion with us, behaving as if they have a right to be given this very large cheque and allowed to spend it however they wish."
Head of the centre, Priya Thamotheran, said the centre had seen over 400,000 users in the past four years and insisted the funding cut was unfair.
"The decision has been taken without any consultation. There have been negotiations that have been ongoing for the past 18 months and it appears the city mayor has now decided to act without any further conversations.
"For the past seven to eight months we have had no direct meeting with the city mayor. We would welcome the opportunity to talk through what may have been misunderstandings."
That was slower than the 2.2% growth rate economists had been expecting and below third quarter growth of 3.5%.
For the year, GDP rose by 1.6%, the slowest since 2011 and down on 2015 when the world's largest economy expanded by 2.6%.
President Donald Trump has promised to lift GDP growth to 4%, through tax cuts and infrastructure spending.
The last time that America's economy grew at that rate was in 2000, the year of the dotcom boom, when it expanded by 4.1%.
While consumer spending rose in the quarter between October to December, the US Commerce Department said there had been a slowdown in exports and an increase in imports.
Friday's figure is the first estimate of economic growth and is based on incomplete data. An updated estimate will be released on 26 February.
Nancy Curtin, chief investment officer at Close Brothers Asset Management, said the data highlighted how the heightened political climate in the US and Europe had "put a pinch on US growth".
She added: "Growth in jobs and the economy are the primary concerns of the new US administration and the levels of growth which have been talked about are very optimistic.
Although she cautioned: "With the president less than one week in office and with key global trade agreements, including with the UK, still yet to be decided, it will be a while before we start to see the true impact of Trumponomics."
However, Paul Ashworth, chief US economist at Capital Economics, said the slowdown was not a cause for alarm because the final half of the year was heavily influenced by a temporary swing in exports.
In the third quarter there had been a spike in soybean exports which was not repeated in the final three months of the year. He said: "We would be wary of reading too much into the slowdown in GDP growth."
Optimism about Mr Trump's economic policies has fuelled a rise on the stock market, which this week sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average through 20,000 for the first time.
Full year growth of 1.6% places the US behind the UK, which this week reported that GDP rose by 2% last year. UK output also grew ahead of Germany, the so-called engine room of the European economy, which expanded by 1.9% last year.
UK Prime Minister Theresa May is meeting Mr Trump on Friday, where post-Brexit trade opportunities are expected to be discussed.
The UK cannot negotiate trade deals with other countries until it leaves the European Union, but Mr Trump has said he wants a "quick" deal after that.
Shiv Kumar Yadav was also convicted of criminal intimidation and kidnapping.
The 26-year-old woman was taken to a secluded area and raped after booking a journey home with Uber in December.
Delhi later banned Uber and several other web-based taxi firms for many months, accusing them of failing to carry out adequate driver checks.
The company apologised for the incident at the time and acknowledged that it "must do better".
The woman had also filed a lawsuit against the service in a US court, which was later settled out of court.
Yadav, who was wearing a white checked shirt, wiped away tears as the judge read out his sentence, the longest possible jail term for rape, reported AFP news agency.
"He will serve regressive imprisonment, which shall mean imprisonment till natural death," judge Kaveri Baweja told the court in Delhi.
Yadav's lawyer, DK Mishra, said he would appeal against the sentence in a higher court.
"My client is innocent," he told reporters.
The issue of sexual assault has been high on the agenda in India since a 23-year-old student was gang-raped and murdered on a bus in Delhi in December 2012.
The case prompted global outrage and a tightening of laws on sexual violence.
Correspondents say tougher laws have failed to bring down the number of rape cases and a series of high-profile crimes have taken place since then.
Last month there was outrage in the capital after two children were raped on the same day.
A week before that, a child was raped and slashed with a sharp object, and found unconscious near a railway track.
The motion was defeated by 483 votes to 111, after all Tory, Lib Dem and Labour MPs had been instructed to oppose it.
In total 81 Tories are known to have defied the whips, while others abstained.
Labour leader Ed Miliband said the revolt was a "humiliation" for the prime minister.
"If he can't win the argument with his own backbenchers, how can the country have confidence that he can win the arguments that matter for Britain?" he said.
A Downing Street spokesman said many people who voted for the motion felt very strongly, and their views were respected.
"However, the government has to do what is in the national interest. The easy thing to do would have been for us to have avoided expressing a view. It was important to take a strong lead - because Britain's best interests are served by being in the EU."
The five-hour Commons debate on the issue was prompted after a petition was signed by more than 100,000 people.
The motion called for a referendum on whether the UK should stay in the EU, leave it or renegotiate its membership.
The government was expected to win easily - and even if it had lost, the result would not be binding on ministers.
This is by far the biggest rebellion Mr Cameron has suffered since entering Downing Street.
The previous largest Tory rebellion over Europe was in 1993, when 41 MPs defied John Major on the Maastricht Treaty.
Education Secretary Michael Gove insisted on Tuesday that the time was not right for a referendum to take place.
He told the BBC: "The most important thing is to make sure we get powers back, so we take more decisions here about employment, about growth, about jobs. These are critical issues.
"At the moment David Cameron is battling in Europe in order to make sure that we can have those decisions taken here. It may be that in the future as a result of the battle David Cameron is fighting for Britain that a referendum may be needed, but my judgement is that we need to get those powers back."
BBC political editor Nick Robinson says Mr Cameron will now face pressure to spell out what he means by promising "fundamental change" in the UK's relationship with Europe.
Conservative MP David Nuttall, who proposed the motion, argued there were more than 40 million people of voting age in the UK who had not been consulted on the question of Europe.
By Ross HawkinsPolitical correspondent, BBC News
The Conservative leadership thought it would be bad. And it was.
In fact, it was almost twice as bad as the worst rebellion David Cameron has suffered so far.
The prime minister has always cast himself as a Eurosceptic.
Many in his party have decided he is not nearly Eurosceptic enough.
Some Tories think a referendum on EU membership is now a certainty.
That is far from settled. After all, the Eurosceptics lost this vote.
But they think they have won a place for an in-out referendum in the mainstream of Conservative thought.
Commentators: Is this the end of Britain's EU debate?
And he said the UK Parliament was becoming "ever more impotent" as the "tentacles" of the European Union "intruded into more and more areas of national life".
In a statement to the Commons, Mr Cameron said he shared the rebels' "yearning for fundamental reform", and promised "the time for reform was coming".
He insisted he remained "firmly committed" to "bringing back more powers" from Brussels, but on demands for a referendum, he said amid an economic crisis the timing was wrong and Britain's national interest was to be part of the EU.
"When your neighbour's house is on fire, your first impulse should be to help them to put out the flames - not least to stop the flames reaching your own house," he said.
Labour leader Ed Miliband, who saw 19 Eurosceptic MPs within his own party rebel, likened the Tories' divisions of Europe to a rerun of an old movie.
He called the Tories an "out-of-touch party tearing itself apart over Europe".
However, he did agree with the prime minister that it was the wrong time for a referendum.
"The best answer to the concerns of the British people about the concerns of the European Union is to reform the way it works, not to leave it," he added.
Tory backbenchers voiced their dismay at the three-line whip - the strongest order a party can give - on Conservative MPs, which meant any who voted against the government would be expected to resign from government jobs.
Conservative MP Stewart Jackson told the Commons he would vote for the motion "with a heavy heart" and "take the consequences", which may mean losing his position as parliamentary private secretary to Northern Ireland Secretary Owen Paterson.
He said he wished there could have been a well-informed reasonable debate, instead of "heavy-handed whipping" and "catastrophic management" by his party.
Fellow Tory MP Adam Holloway, a parliamentary private secretary to Europe minister David Lidington, rebelled and voted for the motion but said he still believed the prime minister was doing a good job.
Anger was also directed towards Foreign Secretary William Hague, who earlier tried to quell the rebellion by calling the motion "a piece of graffiti".
Later in the Commons, he said a referendum would "add to economic uncertainty at a dangerous and difficult time" and suggested most British people did not want to "say yes or no to everything in the EU".
Tory MPs accused him of going native and abandoning his Eurosceptic views.
The Lib Dems came under attack too, accused of being "charlatans" by Conservative MP Philip Davies for abandoning a manifesto pledge for an in-out referendum on the EU.
But Lib Dem Martin Horwood insisted the party committed to an in-out referendum at the time of a fundamental shift (in Britain's relationship with the EU).
Deputy Prime Minister and Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg has said it is the worst time for a debate about Britain leaving the EU as a "firestorm" engulfs the eurozone.
One Liberal Democrat MP, Adrian Sanders, defied his party's leadership and voted for a referendum.
The UK Independence Party, which campaigns for the UK to quit the EU, said the Conservatives were "tearing themselves apart" over Europe. Its leader Nigel Farage had urged MPs from all parties "to vote with their conscience, ahead of their party or career".
In the coalition agreement, the Conservatives and the Lib Dems, a traditionally pro-European party, agreed to "ensure that the British government is a positive participant in the European Union, playing a strong and positive role with our partners".
Massa, 35, has agreed with Williams to postpone his retirement for at least a year after Mercedes made a pitch for Bottas, 27, to replace Nico Rosberg.
Rosberg announced his retirement after winning the world title last month.
The deal for Bottas to leave Williams for Mercedes is also lined up and is set to be completed in the new year.
Although the deals are not yet finalised, they are as good as done and both will happen over the coming fortnight, BBC Sport has learned.
All the building blocks are now in place - Williams will let the Finnish driver go once a suitable deal with Mercedes for compensation is agreed and Massa has agreed to come back to F1 after announcing his retirement in September.
Now, only the finishing touches need to be put in place, which is expected to happen following the Christmas period.
They are the latest developments in a remarkable post-season period, which has seen a world champion retire, another driver reverse a decision to quit and the futures of several senior technical figures changed.
Mercedes executive director (technical) Paddy Lowe will join Williams to run their team following the departure of their chief technical officer Pat Symonds, which was announced on Tuesday.
Mercedes will replace Lowe with former Ferrari technical director James Allison.
The 48-year-old is on 'gardening leave' from the Italian team but will be free to join Mercedes in the late spring or early summer of 2017.
Williams and Mercedes were both unavailable for comment.
Williams approached Massa after it became clear Bottas was Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff's number one choice to replace Rosberg.
Wolff sees him as a close like-for-like replacement for the dependable Rosberg, alongside Mercedes' mercurial superstar Hamilton.
An initial offer of a reduction of 10m euros (£8.4m) in their Mercedes engine bill was rejected but Williams will release Bottas for a better offer, which is expected to be close to their full engine bill of 17m euros (£14.3m).
Once it had been decided the team could benefit overall from letting Bottas go, Williams needed an experienced driver to replace him.
Their title sponsor, drinks giant Martini, requires at least one driver over 25 for promotional reasons - and Williams' other car will be driven by the 18-year-old Canadian novice Lance Stroll, who is bringing sponsorship said to be in the region of £20m to the team.
Massa was open to reversing his decision because he only quit when it became clear there was no space for him at Williams or any other similarly competitive team.

The Briton hit back with a first and a third to close on Finn class leader Jonas Hogh-Christensen to three points with two races and the medal race left.
Ainslie claimed Hogh-Christensen and Dutchman Pieter-Jan Postma teamed up against him, forcing him to do a penalty turn in race two.
Ganging up is a hard allegation
"They've made a big mistake," said three-time Olympic champion Ainslie.
"They've made me angry and you don't want to make me angry."
The 35-year-old resumed after the rest day with his pursuit of a fourth Olympic title in the balance.
Ainslie had not managed to beat surprise leader Hogh-Christensen in any of the first six races and was 10 points behind the Dane.
But he made an aggressive statement of intent in the first race in big waves and strong winds out in Weymouth Bay.
Ainslie led off the start line leaving Hogh-Christensen in his wake, but the Dane fought back from eighth to fourth on the first downwind leg before capsizing and losing 30 seconds as he righted his boat.
Postma overhauled Ainslie briefly but the Briton regained the lead to cross the finish line with a substantial gap and pumped his fists in delight.
Hogh-Christensen came home in eighth to see his overall lead narrow to four points.
"I had a day off yesterday and I watched the girls winning the gold medal in the rowing and Bradley Wiggins smashing the time trial and that was a big inspiration," said Ainslie. "I thought to myself, 'If they can go out and do that, why can't I?'
"You see British people performing really well at the highest level and it inspires you to do the same."
In race two, the action heated up even more as the Dane and the Dutchman both claimed Ainslie hit a mark. Ainslie says he did not, but took a penalty turn as a precaution, fearing he would lose in the protest room later with two voices against one.
But that fired him up and he made up 70m on the final downwind leg to overtake Hogh-Christensen for third. After crossing the line, Ainslie was seen to gesture angrily towards the Dane.
"The Dutch and the Danish guys teamed up against me to claim I hit the mark when I didn't," said Ainslie. "I was seriously unhappy about that. It's disappointing. It's happened to me a lot in the Olympics before but I guess I'm older and wise enough to know not to fall for it.
"But those guys better watch out. I can tell you, it's made me pretty angry to make amends. It is sport, they're going to take any advantage they can. I don't particularly appreciate it because I'm sure I didn't hit the mark. Maybe their time will come."
Ainslie was the subject of a protest from a French sailor in the second race in Athens and opted not to take a penalty turn at the time.
He lost his argument in the protest room later and was disqualified from the race, giving him a 26th place. That result instantly became the one score he would discard and left him with no room for error for the rest of the regatta, and he was forced to fight extra hard to secure his third gold.
Hogh-Christensen was unrepentant and claims he saw Ainslie hit the mark. "Ganging up is a hard allegation," he said. "I don't think anybody teams up to call somebody on that.
"I saw him hit the mark, I think the Dutch guy saw him hit the mark, so if two guys see it, it's probably because he hit the mark. There was no bad words from either of us, we just called him on it.
"He decided to do what he had to do and he took his penalty. If he was so sure he didn't hit the mark, why do you take the penalty?
"The exchange of words was probably unnecessary but that's the way life is. What Ben said is between me and Mr Ainslie."
The Oban lifeboat was sent to the scene at about 16:55 after Stornoway coastguard reported that a vessel was in "serious trouble".
The man had put down his anchor to avoid hitting rocks on the Falls of Lora at the mouth of Loch Etive.
His boat was towed out of the current to safety. He was taken to hospital for treatment to a hand injury.
The Falls of Lora are a set of overfalls which form white water rapids when a particularly high tide runs out from the loch.
The US economy added 271,000 jobs in October, far exceeding the 185,000 jobs that economists had forecast.
In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 index closed down 1.83% at 5,119.50 points on falling commodity prices.
Meanwhile, Japan's Nikkei index closed up 1.96% at 19,642.74 on a weaker yen.
The strong job numbers gave the US dollar a boost against the yen, which is good for Japan's big exporters, as it makes their goods cheaper to buy overseas.
"With [Fed chair] Janet Yellen holding firm on a December rate hike expectation during her testimony to Congress on Thursday, and then the massive beat from the non-farm payrolls on Friday, 2015 has been realigned with the beginning of the year's expectations of at least one rate hike," said Evan Lucas from IG Markets.
In South Korea, the Kospi index closed down 0.75% at 2,025.70 points.
Separately, Sydney-listed shares of mining giant BHP Billiton closed down 5.64% on Monday following a fatal accident at an iron ore operation in Minas Gerais, Brazil on 5 November.
Two dams holding waste water from the mine collapsed on Thursday sending a huge wall of red sludge over the south-eastern village of Bento Rodrigues.
BHP said that details were still emerging regarding how many Samarco employees and contractors had been caught up in the accident.
"At this stage, Samarco has advised that there is at least one confirmed fatality, with a further 13 members of the workforce missing," the firm said.
The mine is a joint operation between BHP and Brazilian metal and mining giant Vale, while Samarco mining company owns the dams.
China's markets
Investors were closely watching stocks in China on Monday, following disappointing trade numbers and after the country's securities regulator said it would lift a five-month ban on mainland initial public offerings (IPOs).
In China, the Shanghai Composite closed up 1.58% at 3,646.88, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng index ended down 0.6% to 22,726.77 points.
Official numbers released by China on the weekend showed a drop in the country's imports for the 12th month in a row in October.
Imports fell 18.8% from a year earlier to $130.8bn, a slight improvement on September's 20.4% decline - but still giving further cause for concern over the Chinese economy.
Exports by the world's second-biggest economy dropped 6.9% to $192.4bn, marking a fourth consecutive monthly fall.
In their Hong Kong debut, shares of China International Capital Corp (CICC) - a large joint venture investment bank - finished up 1.1% after being higher by as much as 6% in early trade. The lender, which is state-backed, raised $811m in its IPO last month.
Team Sky rider and defending champion Froome, 31, denied fellow Briton Adam Yates the race lead but Yates retained the young riders' white jersey.
British riders have won five of the first eight stages of the Tour.
They also hold three of the four jerseys after Mark Cavendish kept the green points jersey.
The Team Dimension Data sprinter, who has won three stages in this Tour, finished more than 39 minutes behind Froome on a punishing second day in the Pyrenees, which included four mountains and temperatures approaching 30C.
Overnight race leader Greg van Avermaet lost almost 25 minutes to tumble well down the classification.
Froome was involved in more drama before the 17km descent to the finish, with TV pictures appearing to show him striking a spectator.
But the 2013 and 2015 winner, who was spat at by fans and had urine thrown on him during last year's Tour, said he was taking evasive action.
"This guy in particular was running right next to my handlebars that had a flag that was flying behind him," said Froome.
"It was just getting dangerous, so I pushed him away. I lashed out and pushed him away.
"It's fantastic having so many fans out on the route but please, please, I urge the fans: don't try and run with the riders. It's really dangerous for the guys behind."
Following that altercation, Team Sky increased the pace during the last climb of the 183km stage from Pau to Bagneres-de-Luchon.
Froome, a renowned climber, was first over the 1,569m summit, and then immediately attacked, catching his rivals, including Movistar's Nairo Quintana, by surprise.
Sitting on the crossbar of his bike rather than the saddle in an attempt to make himself more aerodynamic, Froome broke clear to win by 13 seconds.
A 10-second time bonus for winning the stage gave him a 23-second advantage over Quintana and BMC's Tejay van Garderen, with Tinkoff's Alberto Contador now three minutes and 12 seconds adrift.
Froome said his attack on the descent "definitely wasn't planned".
"It was really just a spur of the moment thing," he said. "I felt like a kid again, just trying to ride my bike as fast as I could.
"I was taking a risk but I'm glad I did. I couldn't be happier to be back in yellow."
Team Sky team principal David Brailsford said: "When people start thinking you're predictable and conservative and everything else, you always have the element of surprise. We thought we'd use that this year.
"The descent shows a lot about Chris. He made the decision and when he sees the opportunity, he takes it and he never ceases to amaze. That's why he's won two Tours de France. "
Froome's surge down the Col de Peyresourde denied Yates the overall lead on a day where the yellow jersey looked like it could end up with several different riders.
Orica-BikeExchange rider Yates started the day with stitches in his chin after he crashed when an inflatable road marker collapsed on him on Friday, one kilometre from the end of stage seven.
His position was revised to second place overall at the start of Saturday's stage and he kept in touch with the leaders as Belgian Van Avermaet slipped behind the peloton on the day's second climb.
Frenchman Thibaut Pinot appeared to have a chance of wearing yellow when he made an early break, but he was caught on the third climb, seemingly giving Bury's Yates the advantage in the race for yellow.
He held a seven-second advantage over Froome at the start and was in touch at the top of the last mountain, but the Kenya-born rider's attack established a decisive lead on the group that Yates was a part of.
Yates said: "I got off pretty lucky [after the crash on stage seven], but I'm OK and today was tough. I just tried to hang on.
"It was a full gas day from start to finish. There's nothing more I could do today."
"It would have been nice to have the yellow but Chris Froome will be on the top step in Paris, so it's no shame to be behind him on GC."

Inception star Tom Hardy, new Spider-Man actor Andrew Garfield, US actress Emma Stone and Kick-Ass star Aaron Johnson are also in the running.
"I'm in very good company with the other actors who have been nominated," said Arterton, 24, who appeared in 2008 Bond film Quantum of Solace.
The winner will be announced at the Bafta awards on 13 February.
Arteton starred opposite Daniel Craig and Dame Judi Dench in Quantum of Solace, the most recent entry in the 007 film series.
The Gravesend-born actress also appeared in Clash of the Titans, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Stephen Frears' Tamara Drewe.
Film critic and Bafta member Mark Kermode said that Arterton's inclusion summed up what the Rising Star award was about.
"It's not a beginner's list, it's about people on the cusp of stardom," he told the BBC.
He said that despite starring in big budget movies like Clash of the Titans, Arterton "came into her own" in the low-budget kidnap thriller The Disappearance of Alice Creed.
"On the strength of that you could show that to any casting director and say that's the range that she can do," Kermode said.
Garfield, 27, was recently nominated for a Golden Globe award for best supporting actor for his role in The Social Network, about the Facebook website.
He recently landed the lead role of Peter Parker in the next Spider-Man movie, due for release in 2012.
Stone will also appear in Spider-Man, playing the part of Gwen Stacy. The 22-year-old's other films include Easy A, Superbad and Zombieland.
Kermode said: "Being in a Spider-Man movie will irrevocably change anyone's life. It's a big project. Peter Parker is one of the great roles. I thank that what's nice is that this nomination has happened now - in advance of that."
Hardy made his name in Spielberg's TV series Band of Brothers and drew plaudits for his lead role in Bronson, in which he played infamous British criminal Charles Bronson.
The 33-year-old has been linked to roles in the latest Mad Max and Batman films and will be seen later this year in a new version of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
Johnson, 20, played the young John Lennon in Nowhere Boy and was seen last year in comic book movie Kick-Ass.
He and Nowhere Boy's director, the artist Sam Taylor-Wood, had a baby daughter last summer.
Previous recipients of the Rising Star award, sponsored by telecommunications giant Orange, include Shia LaBeouf and Kristen Stewart.
Musician and actor Ben Drew, better known as rapper Plan B, is among this year's judges.
Drew said of the nominees: "They've proved they can act - it's about who can take it to the next level. We're looking for a name that can carry a film, like the DiCaprios of this world." | Former Bond girl Gemma Arterton has said she is "thrilled" to be up for this year's Bafta Rising Star award. | 12,151,573 | 719 | 35 | false |
More than 50 years ago, Che Guevara became a global icon after he fought alongside Fidel and Raul Castro to overthrow a United States-backed government and put into practice their socialist ideals.
Now Raul Castro has made a deal with the US and the lifting of the long-standing economic embargo of Cuba is a realistic prospect.
Four expert witnesses offer their insights to the the BBC World Service's The Inquiry about what Che Guevara might make of these changes .
Lucia Alvarez de Toledo is a biographer of Che Guevara.
"Che is the soul of Cuba. He is the spirit of a nation, it's incredible, he's everywhere.
"He articulated what I thought. I was surrounded by all these horrible Americans, and we were like a colony, for God's sake.
"And then suddenly we produced this man who looks like us, talks like us and thinks for us, of course we love him.
"He had an absolute phobia against imperialism. The Americans owned all the banana trade. If you owned the banana company and your workers are working terribly long hours, they're not allowed to be unionised and their children are dying of malnutrition, how do you lay that at America's feet? Very easily.
"He felt total detestation [for America], because he saw how a continent that need not be poor was very poor.
"When the revolution triumphed, anybody who had been involved with the Americans quickly exited.
"There's a famous story of the Coca Cola plant: it shut down of course, and he said: 'Now you have to start it again, because you need the employment,' and they said 'Well, the formula's gone with them. He said: 'Well, try mixtures and things until you find the Coca Cola formula, and we can make Cuba Cola'. Every day somebody would bring him a sample, and he would always say 'cat's piss, go and try again'.
"[Today] Che would say that the Cuban revolution is so firmly entrenched that nobody can take that away from them, nobody can take their National Health Service, nobody can take their education. I feel very good about it because the revolution is solid.
"He would say: 'About time, they've woken up, they've realised the error of their ways.' Because it's the Americans who have realised that their behaviour didn't yield them anything, and they're now going to change."
Professor Louis Perez is director of Latin American studies at the University of North Carolina.
"There was this historically-determined and culturally-conditioned belief in the United States that Cuba's destiny belongs to them. It was a place that developed during prohibition as one where one could drink freely, gamble. Basically Cuba was a tropical island that was there to serve American pleasure.
"The revolution's claim to moral legitimacy and political power was precisely its ability to make good on the claim of national sovereignty and self determination.
"In a period of 24 months, the new leadership of Cuba turned the purpose of the Cuban government into the service of Cuban interests: Cuba for Cubans.
"The overthrow of the Cuban government was the overriding purpose of US policy between 1960 and December 2014. That is, to produce economic hardship, to make life as difficult as possible for the Cuban people, in the hope that they would rise up in despair, overthrow the government and thereby provide the United States with the outcome it desired.
"The new approach seeks to empower the Cuban people, to wean them off dependence on the Cuban government so that they can serve as an internal agent for political change.
"Cuba would be overrun with American capital, American tourists and American-manufactured goods. Now what remains to be seen is the relationship the Cuban people have with that new social-economic environment.
"To get a sense of Che's response, take a look at the letter that Fidel Castro wrote [published in Cuba's state newspaper in January] in which he grudgingly supports the transition. He recognises something of an inevitable need for reconciliation with the US, but continues to be very, very wary."
Carmelo Mesa-Lago is professor of economics at the University of Pittsburgh.
"It was said that 98% of Cubans were in favour of the revolution. But eventually, gradually, many became disenchanted, and either left, or stayed and tried to oppose the regime, without success.
"When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1990, Cuba went into a very severe economic crisis, the worst since the Great Depression. Fidel didn't have another alternative, so had to introduce reforms: he legalised the circulation of the dollar and significantly expanded foreign tourism.
"They allowed self-employment, and an agricultural free market. All this had positive effects on the economy. Fidel never liked the market-oriented reforms, he simply didn't have another alternative.
"Cuba is privatising. They announced in 2010 that they had to dismiss 1.8m workers in the state sector. That's about 36% of the labour force.
"Now it is possible to buy or sell a house, and Cubans can have a second house in the countryside, or at the beach. The state maintains ownership of the land, but gives ten-year contracts to farmers and they can invest in the land. That Che would object to.
"Raul realised a long time ago that the system couldn't continue, but Fidel was in charge, and he couldn't go against Fidel. When he took over, gradually he began to implement the reforms.
"Che Guevara was an idealist, and he may say that Raul is betraying the revolution.
"[But] in Cuba no one is thinking about what Che Guevara may think. People simply don't want dreams. They have been supporting this system for 54 years. And they want to buy things, travel, buy a house.
"You can see portraits of Che Guevara everywhere across Latin America. Of course there is a big portrait of Che Guevara about ten stories high in the Plaza de La Revolucion, where Fidel used to address the people. But it's like a joke. This is simply a myth of the past."
Rafael Hernandez is chief editor of Temas, a state-funded political magazine in Havana.
"Che Guevara's views are misunderstood. We wanted not to impose the Soviet socialist model but to create a new different kind of socialist system and in that socialist system there was a legitimate presence of the private sector.
"Only in 1968 did the Cuban Revolution nationalise their remaining small business in Cuba. In other words, the Cuban Revolution lived with the private sector for nine years.

"The Cuban Revolution in 1968 had a drive towards a more radical ideological movement. In those years the question of moving towards a Communist society became part of the Cuban agenda in terms of 'we have to build socialism and communism at the same time.' That idea became predominant and made Cuba eliminate the 60,000 private businesses that remained there.
"Raul Castro is promoting a more decentralised system, and I think this is in the spirit of what Che Guevara wanted: to have a public sector that could be more efficient.
"[In a meeting with the US in 1961] Che Guevara was basically saying we won't make any changes in our system, but we are ready to discuss everything else. In the middle of the Cold War, the message Che Guevara was delivering to the Kennedy administration was 'we want peace, we want dialogue and we want to negotiate.'
"If socialism can only survive within a glass urn that then it is impossible to sustain. This morning, I was attending a panel with a crowd of youngsters and there were people there quoting Che Guevara, using him to talk about our problems. That means that his thinking is alive."

Dywedodd yr Athro Colin Riordan wrth raglen Wales Today y bydd ffioedd uwch a'r methiant i gael mynediad at fenthyciadau, mwy na thebyg, yn arwain at ostyngiad mewn niferoedd.
Mae'r Athro Riordan ar y llaw arall yn credu bydd Prifysgolion Cymru "yn gallu addasu" i unrhyw newidiadau drwy ail-strwythuro.
Dywedodd arweinydd y Ceidwadwyr yng Nghymru, Andrew RT Davies AC bod Brexit yn gyfle i ddod â mwy o arian i addysg uwch yng Nghymru.
Mae ffigyrau diweddara yn dangos bod ceisiadau i astudio yng Nghymru gan fyfyrwyr o Ewrop wedi gostwng ar ôl cynyddu'n flynyddol.
Roedd 4,400 cais ar gyfer 2017 - hynny i gymharu gyda 4,920 ar gyfer cyrsiau llynedd.
Dywedodd yr Athro Riordan bod Brexit wedi bod yn "sioc" ond bod y sector addysg uwch wedi "derbyn" y penderfyniad.
"Unwaith bydd y DU wedi gadael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd, bydd myfyrwyr o Ewrop yn methu sicrhau yr un amodau â myfyrwyr o'r DU - yn ein hachos ni myfyrwyr o Gymru.
"Byddent yn talu ffioedd uwch ac yn methu derbyn bencythiadau myfyrwyr. Mae hynny yn gwneud i mi feddwl y bydd llai ohonynt yn dod i Gymru," meddai.
Dywedodd Andrew RT Davies AC nad oedd yn credu y byddai niferoedd y myfyrwyr o Ewrop yn gostwng.
"Mae cyfle yma i farchnata'r agweddau positif o addysg uwch yng Nghymru," meddai.
"Mae'r adnoddau ymchwil sydd gennym yn arbennig, felly hefyd y profiad academaidd a phrofiad y myfyriwr. Yn hytrach na gweld ochr dywyll pethau beth am sôn am y sefyllfa fel cyfle gwych i ddod â mwy o arian i'r sector addysg uwch yma yng Nghymru a dwi'n hyderus y gallwn wneud hynny."
Ychwanegodd yr Athro Riordan y gallai myfyrwyr o Ewrop gael eu gweld yn fwy gwerthfawr yn y dyfodol gan ddweud: "Bydd y rheiny sydd yn dod i Gymru yn dod â mwy o arian fewn i'r prifysgolion.
"Felly, yn hynny o beth, efallai y byddan nhw yn fwy gwerthfawr i Brifysgolion Cymru yn y dyfodol," meddai.
Woodseats Medical Practice wants to open the centre on the site of the existing Woodseats Library on Chesterfield Road.
Sheffield City Council said if plans were approved the building would include a new library to replace the current facility.
A public consultation on the plans will until 6 March.
Mazher Iqbal, Labour cabinet member for communities and public health, said: "This is a great opportunity for us to secure the future of Woodseats Library within a brand new building alongside health services.
"I really want local people to tell us what they think and help shape these important local plans."
Woodseats Library is one of 12 still run by the council after a number were handed over to community groups as part of efforts to save £1.6m by 2016.
A council spokeswoman said the current library "is in a poor condition and not economical to repair".
If planning permission was granted, construction could start in the summer, she said.
The haul was made when police stopped a car on Thursday evening.
Two men aged 39 and 40 were arrested on suspicion of possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply.
Police said the arrests were part of an "investigation into an organised crime group".
"Significant finds in recent weeks show the PSNI's commitment to keeping our community safer by frustrating, disrupting and dismantling organised crime gangs," Detective Inspector Trevor Stevenson from the Police Service of Northern Ireland's Organised Crime Branch said.
Last month, about 50kg of the drug was found packed into suitcases at premises in Ballygawley, County Tyrone.
In an unconnected incident, 20 kg of cocaine was seized in a shipment police believe was bound for Fermanagh.
Mr Brewster, 29, died of stab wounds in the Llanedeyrn area of the Welsh capital on 12 June.
South Wales Police said a 23-year-old man from Kidderminster, Worcestershire, had been arrested in Norfolk on suspicion of murder and was being brought to south Wales for questioning.
Two other men have already been charged with murder.
Robert Lainsbury, 22, originally from Kidderminster, and Dwayne Edgar, 29, from Llanedeyrn, have both been remanded in custody until a further hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on 5 September.
A 19-year-old man from Cardiff previously arrested in connection with this investigation is on police bail.
No further action is being taken against a 35-year-old Cardiff man who was also previously arrested.
The two parties held talks almost six weeks after a general election produced a hung parliament, in which no party won enough seats to govern alone.
Fine Gael, led by acting Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Enda Kenny, remains the biggest party with 50 seats.
Mr Kenny said Fianna Fáil's refusal of the offer was a "serious mistake".
The Fine Gael leader claimed the rejection was "driven by narrow party interests rather than the national interest".
"Ireland needs a stable and lasting government to meet the many national and international challenges facing the country," Mr Kenny added.
"Fine Gael's preferred option of a full partnership is the best option for providing the necessary stability and it is very regrettable that Fianna Fáil has rejected this historic opportunity."
However, Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin told a press conference "the best interests of the Irish people are not served by a government made up of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael".
"We made this promise consistently in advance of the election, we made it very clear to the Irish people and to those who were voting for us that we would not go into government with Fine Gael and we're remaining consistent and true to that commitment," he added.
Both Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael trace their origins in the Irish Civil War, when their founding fathers were on opposite sides of a bitter dispute over the 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty, which partitioned the island of Ireland.
The historic political rivals are both centrist parties but have never shared power in a state where coalition governments are the norm.
Irish state broadcaster RTÉ has reported that Fine Gael's offer of partnership government remained on the table, but added that no further talks are planned between the two largest parties.
It also said Mr Martin has told his party that he was in favour of a Fianna Fáil minority government.
Fianna Fáil had a successful election and more than doubled the number of seats they held in the last parliament, but still have six fewer elected members (known as Teachtaí Dála or TDs) than Fine Gael.
Sinn Féin is the third largest party with 23 seat, the Labour Party has seven TDs while smaller parties and independents make up the other 34 seats.
Played out on a purpose-built site the size of the golf course which was previously there, it sees around 1,000 volunteer performers and crew members gallop through two millennia in around 90 minutes, stopping off for set pieces involving William Shakespeare, William the Conqueror and Sir Winston Churchill.
But the scale of the show is nothing compared to the ambition behind it - to reinvigorate the town of Bishop Auckland, which gazes down the flood plain upon which Kynren stands.
Nestled in the heart of County Durham, the town peaked during the Victorian era, but the decline of coal mining has left it and the villages that surround it lacking both employment and funds.
Kynren, the name of which is derived from the Saxon for family, is based on Puy du Fou, an attraction near Nantes in France's western Loire region which in the past 40 years has entertained almost 30 million visitors with historical shows, bringing additional prosperity to the surrounding region.
It is philanthropist Jonathan Ruffer's attempt to change the local community's fortunes.
Ruffer has used the wealth he accumulated during a career in investment management to take a significant stake in Bishop Auckland, planning galleries and museums, taking over the town's castle and purchasing the land on the banks of the River Wear where Kynren is based.
He says his interest in the castle "was the mouth, but Kynren is the trousers".
"This is the thing that's going to do it.
"What I want to see is people energised into a single community. I saw that in Puy du Fou and I thought what they were doing there would work well here."
Puy du Fou's president Nicolas de Villiers has served as Kynren's artistic director, bringing his team of French creatives with him to produce the event.
He says the show will definitely improve prospects in County Durham, just as his attraction has in the Loire region.
"When someone spends one euro in Puy de Fou, they will spend between two and three euros outside.
"So it's economically very profitable for a lot of people - for hotels, restaurants and all the tourism jobs which are linked to our activity."
The event, which will run annually, is being run by Ruffer's charitable trust, Eleven Arches - named after the viaduct that towers over the Kynren site.
A spokeswoman for the charity says Ruffer's plans are "brave, radical and transformational", and will give those living in the area "what they badly need - opportunity".
The charity predicts the show will bring £4.75m a year into the local economy, a figure which Ruffer says is "not at all pie in the sky".
"I'm used to analysing figures and they are very robust.
"Simply in terms of the show, it will employ over 200 people - and the multiplier in terms of bed and breakfast, hotels, meals in France is five times that, so we're looking at some really big numbers."
The show's own profitability is tied to that cast of 1,000 volunteers.
Vanessa Pearson, a locally-based credit controller, is one of those who has given her time free of charge to be part of the show.
She says she is glad to be taking part "in something that's going to bring excitement, joy and life back to Bishop Auckland".
"There's loads of negativity that's going on and people are like 'is this going to work?' But it will.
"Yes, we're not being paid to do it, but we see the vision and it's going to be an amazing project."
Spectacular and idiosyncratic, Kynren is an often thrilling romp through English history, delivered at a breathless pace.
It is an England told through a prism of the North East and comes with more than a passing nod to Jonathan Ruffer's evangelical Christian beliefs.
The story sees a bishop guide a young boy through an individualistic choice of English and North-Eastern highlights - the Battle of Stamford Bridge gets equal billing with the one at Hastings, St Cuthbert follows on the heels of Joseph of Arimathea and the pits replace the usually-seen mills of the Industrial Revolution.
Brought to life by hundreds of talented volunteers and a supporting cast of horses, sheep, goats and geese, it is a vibrant spectacle that will leave an Englishman's head dizzy from the historical whirlwind.
Fellow performer Carl Howe, who plays the Viking chief King Harald Hardrada, agrees it can only be good for the area.
He also says it has given the people of Bishop Auckland the chance to try out their performing skills.
"I drive buses for a living so this is the polar opposite of it.
"I sit down all day and on a weekend, I get to dress up like a Viking and run around with a big axe.
"I've done bands, I was a wrestler for a while, and this is just the next thing."
He says he had no idea what to expect when he volunteered to take part, but is impressed with the result.
"I'm supposed to be a big scary Viking, but at the end, after the finale, I just can't get the smile off my face.
"From start to finish, it flies by."
The "epic tale of England" has been put together by de Villiers' French team, a move that might seem odd, given the nature of the content.
The Puy du Fou president does not see it as a problem.
"We are French and we are proud of being French - we know that we are not English.
"But we have put all our hearts and all our energy into making a great English show, so that people will be proud of being English when they leave the show.
"That's the main purpose."
Ruffer is firm on what he wants the result to be for the locals.
"We have over 1,000 volunteers - why are they doing it? They're not doing it for me or for Bishop Auckland - they're doing it because they're having a great time in meeting with one another.
"It's bringing people together, that's the very heart of the regenerative spirit.
"It's a truism but people are the investment of a region.
"This is a game-changer for the area and it's marvellous to see that we're on the eve of something wonderful."
Kynren's first season opens in Bishop Auckland on 2 July and runs until 17 September.
Those interviewed were speaking to BBC Breakfast and BBC Look North.
Lisa Nandy said plans for new selective schools were a "particularly backwards looking approach".
She said it was "pitiful" that ministers appeared to have given up hope of making every school a good one.
But Education Minister Nick Gibb said the government was committed to improving standards for all students.
Announced in September, the proposals to allow new grammar schools have prompted strong criticism from politicians and the teaching profession.
Leading a backbench debate on the issue in the Commons on Tuesday, Ms Nandy said: "The idea that in 2016 in Britain that we are better off as a country, or that any child is better off by being segregated and branded a failure at the age of 11 seems to me to be a particularly backwards looking approach."
"This government appears to be set on a path that will pit children against one another, and make losers of all of us."
Ms Nandy cited a whole range of studies and statistics that questioned the benefits of selective education.
She said the plans, set out in a consultation document, were based on "precisely no evidence".
MPs heard that grammar schools were under-represented at Oxford and Cambridge universities, given their selective intake, and grammars did not increase the number of high achieving students.
But Mr Gibb told MPs there was evidence that the grades of children in selective areas who did not get into grammar schools fell by only a fraction of a grade.
He said: "What this consultation document seeks to do is to find a solution to that problem, by requiring all new grammar schools that are established, all grammar schools that want to expand, to help raise the academic standards in those non-selective schools in those areas."
Ms Nandy responded by saying no other countries were pursuing selective education and that good comprehensive schools deserved just as much praise from the government.
There were also concerns about the increased cost of school transport, given children would travel from further afield, as well as the lack of funding among local authorities to implement the plans.
"The answer to his problem is surely to make every school a good school. The fact the government appears to have completely given up on this, in 2016 in Britain, is pitiful for young people in this country," she said.
Neil Carmichael, the Conservative chairman of the Commons Education Committee, described the grammar school plans as a "distraction".
He said other education issues, such as fairer funding and support for primary school pupils making the transition to secondary school, needed greater attention.
"I do think that we have to focus on what matters and therefore I repeat this issue about grammar schools is something of a distraction," Mr Carmichael said.
"The question we have got to ask ourselves all of the time is what about all of the other schools? That's actually at the heart of this matter because we do have 3,500 secondary schools.
"The question is what do we do about the 3,400 or so schools which we do depend on for the vast majority of our teaching."
Concerns have been expressed about pupils from wealthier families receiving private tutoring in order to pass exams to get into a grammar school.
"The evidence suggests it would be extremely difficult to create a tutor-proof test," Mr Carmichael said.
Labour's former shadow education secretary Lucy Powell also criticised the plans.
"I can't quite believe that in 2016 Britain we are seriously contemplating a return to selection at 11, given all the progress that we have made in education over the last 20 years," she said.
"What a damning verdict of our country if we went back to an era where we told four in every five children at the age of 11 that there was a cap on their potential and it was only the grammar school kids who could get far."
Coach Florent Ibenge named a 36-man squad for what will likely prove decisive games at the Stade Olympique in Rades on 1 September and then Kinshasa's imposing Stade de Martyrs five days later.
The two countries share top place in Group A with two wins out of two on the road to Russia.
The 23-year-old Masuaku, who was born in Lille and played for France at junior level, reportedly switched his international allegiance to the Congolese in June.
He is one of five newcomers, joined in the squad by Kevin Mbabu, who moved back to Switzerland from Newcastle United last month and now plays for early season league leaders Young Boys Berne.
French-born midfielder Tanguy Ndombele, 20, who last weekend made his Ligue 1 debut for newly promoted Amiens against Paris St Germain, is also included along with 24-year-old Vital Nsimba from Ligue 2 outfit Bourg-en-Bresse.
Chadrac Akolo, who has just signed for VfB Stuttgart in the German Bundesliga after 15 goals for FC Sion in the Swiss league last season, is also called up for the first time.
The 24-year-old Middlesbrough striker Britt Assombalonga is also in the squad again although he has turned down several previous call-ups and is yet to win a cap.
Also new is 26-year-old AS Vita Club defender Padou Bompunga, who plays under Ibenge at club level.
There is a return to the squad for Jordan Botaka, Elias Kachunga, Neeskens Kebano, Nicaisse Kudimbana, Paul-José Mpoku, Arnold Issoko and Marcel Tisserand after missing June's African Nations Championship (CHAN) derby against Congo in Kinshasa.
But Youssouf Mulumbu, Yannick Bolasie and Dieumerci Mboikani continue to be sidelined.
DR Congo are the first of the 20 counties who all play in World Cup qualifiers to name their squad for September's key games.

Cannabis with an estimated value of over £100,000 was found in Limavady on 16 March.
The man has been charged with conspiracy to cultivate cannabis, dishonestly using electricity and assisting offences in relation to the cultivation of cannabis.
He will appear at Limavady Magistrates Court on 9 June.
Two other men, 46 and 53, were charged in March in connection with the drugs find.
Robert and Christianne Shepherd, from Horbury, Wakefield died in Corfu in 2006.
The brother and sister were on holiday with their father and step-mother at the Louis Corcyra Beach Hotel, booked by Thomas Cook.
A sixth of the way to Mars, to the Moon and back three times, around 250 circuits of the equator, or, to put it another way… an awfully long way.
That is roughly how far narrow gauge steam locomotive Palmerston has travelled during her 153 years on the Ffestiniog Railway.
But now she is getting a well-earned week's rest, as she returns to London for the first time since she was built, to go on display in the ticket office of King's Cross Station.
The visit is to mark the launch of Big Train Meets Little Train, a UK government-funded free guide to Welsh narrow gauge railways and how to visit them by rail.
Chris Parry of the Ffestiniog Railway explained: "Palmerston was built at George England's Hatcham Iron Works in East London and was completed in March 1864.
"She was named after Viscount Palmerston, Liberal prime minister and chairman of the Welsh Slate, Copper & Lead Mining Company's quarry at Blaenau Ffestiniog.
"The George England engines are the oldest surviving narrow gauge locomotives in the world. Remarkably, after more than 150 years, four of the six built still survive, two of them in regular use and a third being restored for a return to service later this year."
Palmerston saw extensive use on both the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways until withdrawal from service in 1937.
Despite being deemed "beyond repair", she was the subject of a long restoration and eventually re-entered service on the railway in 1993.
Her sister engines were Prince and Princess - named to mark the marriage of the Prince of Wales, the future Edward VII, to Princess Alexandra of Denmark - and Mountaineer, reflecting the rugged terrain over which the railway operates.
The world's oldest large-scale narrow gauge system, The Ffestiniog and its sister railway the Welsh Highland form the longest heritage line in the UK - stretching 40 miles coast to coast from Caernarfon to Porthmadog and Blaenau Ffestiniog - and carrying nearly 400,000 passengers each year.
The little engines rack up about 63,500 miles annually, meaning that - allowing for her 56-year-enforced layoff - Palmerston has somewhere in the region of six million miles on the clock.
While they may look quaint nowadays, when they went into service in 1864 they were the cutting edge of technology.
The Ffestiniog was the first railway in the world to adopt and make regular use of steam locomotives on a very narrow gauge, on a public railway and over a significant distance.
They demonstrated that steam technology that had evolved on the main lines from 1829 onwards could be applied to railways built on a much smaller scale and at much lower cost.
Attracting engineers from around the globe, The Ffestiniog proved the blueprint for narrow gauge railways the world over, including France, India, the USA, Hungary, South Africa, Namibia, Venezuela, New Guinea and Morocco, as well as the railways built to serve the trenches of the First World War.
Throughout her visit until 25 February, staff and volunteers from The Ffestiniog will be on hand at King's Cross to answer enthusiasts' questions.
Thomas was shortlisted for ex-Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson's 'most influential leader' award of 2015.
A "new approach," to community sport will be among Thomas' priorities.
The Welsh Government wants people to "become hooked on sport for life".
Skates said: "We want to break down the barriers to participation in sport and physical activity and create opportunities for people of all ages and abilities."
A Welsh Government statement said Thomas has more than 30 years experience working in community development, strategic leadership and sport inclusion roles, "often in socially disadvantaged areas".
Skates added: "I am confident Paul's qualities, experience and commitment will help the Welsh Government deliver a more physically active and successful sporting nation."
Thomas said: "Having grown up in the south Wales valleys and played sport most of my life I am certain of the benefits sport and physical activity can have on people's health and wellbeing."
McAllister's time as chair was due to end in January, 2016 at the end of her second three-year term.
But four applicants were deemed unsuitable and she remains in place until the end of March when Thomas will take charge.
Staff had to wear formal business wear, arrive at 9am, use the titles Mr and Mrs, couldn't look at social media and weren't allowed to make personal calls.
"It was a horrible experience for everybody," says Sir Richard Branson, one of the UK's best-known and wealthiest entrepreneurs.
The purpose of the exercise, he says, was to give its people "a taste of what a lot of the world is still run like".
As founder of the firm, which has gone from a mail order record company to having businesses in telecoms, travel and financial services, Sir Richard himself has never followed a conventional path to business success.
He left school at 16 and didn't go to university. And at the Virgin parent company, staff are able to work flexibly and take as much holiday as they like, for example.
His belief is that making work a more pleasant place to be, by offering more flexibility; such as the ability to dress down, work from home or part-time, and take unpaid leave if they wish, will attract people and encourage them to stay and fulfil their potential.
"Hopefully that'll be the world of the future and that's something that we're working towards trying to get more flexibility in the workforce generally," he says.
While there is no universally accepted definition, the term "millennial" is typically applied to those born between 1980 and 1999, the largest age group to emerge since the baby boom generation, and a group that accountancy firm Deloitte predicts will make up 75% of the global workforce by 2025.
As a generation that came of age after the 2008 financial crisis and have never known a world without the internet, they have very different expectations about jobs and money.
Several surveys suggest that these younger workers aren't motivated by the same factors as previous generations, such as a job for life, but instead value a good work life balance and a sense of purpose beyond financial success.
It's a drastically different outlook from the generations before who are used to the more traditional hierarchy of large corporate firms - staying at the same firm and working a set number of years in a particular post before progressing.
But as this group grows as a proportion of the workforce, employers will have to shift their working practices to attract and retain staff from this generation.
Firms which get it right can 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.
"They operate on a need-to-know basis and 'I'll tell you what you need to know'."
Nathan Blecharczyk, co-founder of room sharing website Airbnb, which has over 2,000 employees, says in the technology arena in which they operate the competition for staff is very intense.
In a bid to attract more millennials he says the firm makes it very clear what, its core values are to help make it stand out to would be employees.
"Millennials are known to be more purpose-driven, so as a company both internally and externally we're always communicating what our values are and trying to be true to those things," he says.
Accordingly, the firm has weekly Friday meetings in each of its offices, then an all company meeting every fortnight that is streamed live to its 20 offices around the world where it talks about the most important things to the company.
On top of this, it holds an annual three-day meeting in San Francisco where all employees are flown in so everyone can meet and communicate face-to-face.
He says the firm has also worked on creating a relaxed office environment where staff feel as comfortable there as they do at home.
"We're constantly trying to remind our employees of what business we are in, in creating an environment where they can be totally comfortable and where they actually want to hang out after work," he says.
Ryan Holmes, the founder of Hootsuite, which provides social media management tools, has also worked hard to avoid the traditional hierarchies of larger firms.
Rather than having a layer of management which dictates to their team below, the firm has instead tried to give individual teams more power.
It's also created a so called "guru track" to enable those in the company who don't want to become traditional leaders still achieve some kind of recognition.
Instead of trying to ram a round peg into a square hole, "[It's about] how can we help this person progress through their career as an amazing engineer, instead of the only track is to become a leader or a manager".
For companies adapting the way they work to millennials' strengths, is a direction which CEO coach Steve Tappin believes will be effective.
"If CEOs try and over control in the old way then millennials will walk but if you can harness their ideas, passion and energy then that's going to power the future success of the company," he says.
This feature is based on interviews by CEO coach and author Steve Tappin for the BBC's CEO Guru series, produced by Neil Koenig.
PC Hassan Ali, 44, died in hospital on 6 February 2015, a week after being hit by a car on Staniforth Road, Sheffield.
Waqas Khan, 23, of Balfour Road, Sheffield, was found not guilty of causing death by careless driving after a trial at Sheffield Crown Court.
At the time of his death, Mr Ali was under investigation for his alleged role in the Rotherham abuse scandal.
More on this and other South Yorkshire stories
The jury at the three-day trial was not told that Mr Ali was a police officer, nor that there was an Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) inquiry into his alleged connection to the Rotherham child sexual abuse investigation.
Jurors were shown CCTV footage of Mr Khan's Vaxuhall Corsa "drifting" across from the left-hand side of the carriageway before hitting Mr Ali at about 10:00 GMT on 28 January 2015.
The court was told Mr Khan had taken five attempts to pass his driving test and had only had his licence for six months.
The 23-year-old student said he had never driven in snow and "was being more cautious", reducing his speed to 20mph in a 30mph area, and struck Mr Ali as he was facing right for a "few seconds" to check for traffic emerging from a junction.
Describing the impact, Mr Khan said: "I saw, when I put my eyes back on the road, it was making contact. He was there in front of me.
"I put my brakes on and just flung my door open and ran out because I knew I had hit someone."
The crossing, which involved the building of new bridges, roads and cycleways, was opened last month.
The infrastructure provides a third crossing over the river in Aberdeen.
The figures cover 9 June to 9 July and include 240,772 vehicle journeys, 2,798 cycling trips, and 4,272 pedestrian treks.
Monday was found to have been the busiest day for cyclists' use of the crossing and Thursday and Sunday for pedestrians.
The former rebel chief's Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) is ahead by five percentage points, according to latest results.
For the first time since Kosovo's self-declared independence in 2008, Serbia encouraged ethnic Serbs to vote, to help both countries' EU bids.
However, turnout was 42% nationally and even lower in majority Serb areas.
The elections follow last year's agreement to normalise relations between Belgrade and Pristina as a pre-condition for their bids to become members of the EU.
Kosovo: At a glance
With the votes of 94% of polling stations counted, the opposition Democratic League of Kosovo was on 26.12% while Mr Thaci's PDK had 31.22%, the Central Election Commission said.s
All parties support Kosovo's ambition to join the EU.
Kosovo's last national election in 2010 saw a turnout of 47.8%.
There have been no instances of the violence that blighted Kosovo's last two national polls.
Almost 30,000 monitors were in action to prevent a repeat of the fraud which also marred the last election, the BBC's Balkans correspondent Guy De Launey reports.
In 2010, diplomats and election monitors witnessed ballot-stuffing and other irregularities, and voting had to be held again at more than 20 polling stations, our correspondent says.
Kumrje Sahiti, an Albanian voter from Pristina, told the Associated Press she just hoped the best candidate would win.
"I am hoping for progress in economy, agriculture and education,", she said.
Agron Bajrami, a local newspaper editor, said it was impossible to predict the outcome.
"Today's elections in Kosovo are all about the economy," he said.
"It is maybe the first time since we declared independence that we are talking only about the wellbeing of people and the unemployment, which is very high."
About two out of three under-25s are currently jobless, and nearly 50% of Kosovo's 1.8 million people are considered to be poor.
Although Belgrade still rejects Kosovo's independence, it is encouraging the ethnic Serb community to take part in the elections.
Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic has said it would be "unwise" for ethnic Serbs to abstain.
The man, who was in his 20s, was taken to Raigmore Hospital following the incident but the extent of his injuries were unclear.
He was hit by the VW Passat on Tower Road, close to the junction with Murray Road, at 06:20.
Police investigating the crash closed Tower Road between Barn Church Road and Murray Road for several hours.
The male driver and passengers in the Passat were not injured.
The journalist, who has presented Channel 4 News since 1989, gave the MacTaggart Lecture at the annual Edinburgh TV festival.
He said Facebook's inaction was a "threat to democracy".
Facebook's founder Mark Zuckerberg says the company is "experimenting" with ways to support the news industry.
In a 50-minute speech, Mr Snow said Facebook had helped Channel 4 News find a wider audience for its reports, but left publishers at the mercy of the social network.
"Facebook's principles are seldom explained in detail and can change overnight at Mr Zuckerberg's whim," said Mr Snow.
He also criticised the company's reputation for allowing false stories to spread unchallenged.
"Facebook enabled the story, 'Pope endorses Trump for President'," he said.
"That engaged more than a million people during the US elections. That same algorithm that prioritised many amazing reports of ours, also prioritised fakery on a massive scale.
"Facebook has a moral duty to prioritise veracity over virality. It is fundamental to our democracy."
Mr Snow also said Facebook had paid news publishers a "nominal rate" for their stories, which was not enough to support truthful, investigative journalism.
"Facebook feasts on our products and pays all but nothing for them. This cannot last," he told the audience.
Channel 4 has posted a transcript of the full lecture.
On Wednesday evening, Mr Zuckerberg said Facebook was exploring new ways to support journalists.
In a post on his Facebook profile, he said: "As more people get more of their news from places like Facebook, we have a responsibility to create an informed community and help build common understanding."
He said the social network was testing a way to make it easier for people to subscribe to publishers they liked, and Facebook would not take a cut of the subscription money.
He also described changes to help people check the authenticity of articles.
"Eventually, our goal is to put a publisher's logo next to every news article on Facebook so everyone can understand more about what they're reading," he wrote.
"Giving people a voice is not enough without having organisations dedicated to uncovering new information and analysing it. We're going to keep experimenting with different ways to support the news industry and make sure reporters and publishers everywhere can keep doing their important work."
The post was not a direct response to Mr Snow's speech.
"I'm a fan of Facebook," Mr Snow said in his lecture.
"It's great, it's terrific - but I'm not a fan of playing fast and loose with the products that we in this room generate at great expense.
"It cannot be beyond the bounds of human understanding to come up with a way of ensuring that these mega-entities have to pay to play."
Glasgow has the largest number of black and white sets at 200, followed by Edinburgh with 55.
TV Licensing Scotland revealed the figure as it reminded viewers they need a licence, however dated the model.
Regular colour broadcasts began on BBC Two in July 1967.
Britain became the first country in Europe to offer regular programming in colour, weeks ahead of Germany.
Yet almost 10,000 black and white licences are still in force across the UK.
The cost of a black and white licence is £49 compared with £145.50 for a colour licence.
Some black and white TVs may require a colour licence if they can receive and record programmes in colour.
TV Licensing Scotland spokesman Jason Hill said: "It's astounding that more than 550 households in Scotland still watch on a black and white telly, especially now that over half of homes access TV content over the internet, on smart TVs.
"Whether you have the latest 4K TV or a black and white set from the 1970s, if you are watching or recording live television, then you do need a TV licence."
Jim McLauchlan from the Museum of Communications in Burntisland, Fife, said there are an increasing number of collectors of old black and white sets.
He said: "It is now some years since I have come across anyone using a black and white television, though the occasional person has one tucked away in their attic.
"We certainly get them donated now and then to the museum and there are an increasing number of collectors throughout the UK collecting black and white sets from as early as the 1940s onwards, with some now fetching good prices.
"In general, younger visitors to the museum show very little interest in the black and white televisions but the occasional senior visitor will comment in a nostalgic way."
The 740m-euro (£620m) observatory lifted off from the Sinnamary complex in French Guiana at 06:12 local time (09:12 GMT).
Gaia is going to map the precise positions and distances to more than a billion stars.
This should give us the first realistic picture of how our Milky Way galaxy is constructed.
Gaia's remarkable sensitivity will lead also to the detection of many thousands of previously unseen objects, including new planets and asteroids.
Separation from the Soyuz upper-stage was confirmed just before 10:00 GMT.
The satellite is now travelling out to an observing station some 1.5 million km from the Earth on its nightside - a journey that will take about a month to complete.
Gaia has been in development for more than 20 years.
It will be engaged in what is termed astrometry - the science of mapping the locations and movements of celestial objects.
To do this, it carries two telescopes that throw light on to a huge, one-billion-pixel camera detector connected to a trio of instruments.
Gaia will use this ultra-stable and supersensitive optical equipment to pinpoint its sample of stars with extraordinary confidence.
Gaia - The discovery machine
By repeatedly viewing its targets over five years, it should get to know the brightest stars' coordinates down to an error of just seven micro-arcseconds.
"This angle is equivalent to the size of a euro coin on the Moon as seen from Earth," explained Prof Alvaro Gimenez, Esa's director of science.
Gaia will compile profiles on the stars it sees.
As well as working out how far away they are, the satellite will study their motion across the sky.
Their physical properties will also be catalogued - details such as brightness, temperature, and composition. It should even be possible then to determine their ages.
And for about 150 million of these stars, Gaia will measure their velocity either towards or away from us.
This will enable scientists to use them as three-dimensional markers to trace the evolution of the Milky Way, to in essence make a time-lapse movie that can be run forwards to see what happens in the future, or run backwards to reveal how the galaxy was assembled in the past.
And because Gaia will track anything that passes across its camera detector, it is likely also to see a colossal number of objects that have hitherto gone unrecorded - such as comets, asteroids, planets beyond our Solar System, cold dead stars, and even tepid stars that never quite fired into life.
"It will allow us, for the first time ever, to walk through the Milky Way - to say where everything is, to say what everything is. It is truly a transformative mission," said Prof Gerry Gilmore from Cambridge University, UK.
By the end of the decade, the Gaia archive of processed data is expected to exceed 1 Petabyte (1 million Gigabytes), equivalent to about 200,000 DVDs of information.
This store is so vast that it will keep professional astronomers busy for decades.
"To think that you see individual scientific papers coming out now that talk about just a single object - a single star or exoplanet. And very soon, because of Gaia, we will have information on a billion objects. What will the scientific literature look like then?" pondered Dr Michael Perryman, the former Gaia Esa project scientist now affiliated to Princeton University, US.
"Of course, there will be big statistical projects you can tackle with this data, but it is clear the scale of Gaia means this information is not going to be superseded for a very long time," he told BBC News.
It will though offer ample scope for citizen scientists to mine Gaia's data to make their own discoveries, and a number of crowdsourcing projects to facilitate this activity will get under way next year.
Gaia is the result of an enormous industrial effort led by Astrium satellites in Toulouse, France. "For this masterpiece, for this jewel of space hardware, Astrium gathered and led an industrial consortium made up of 50 companies - 47 European, three North American," said CEO Eric Beranger.
"Coming to [French Guiana] and seeing our satellite lifting off brings me huge emotion. So much effort, dedication and ingenuity captured in just a few minutes."

The revelation comes after performances in California in which he forgot his words and appeared physically unstable.
The 66-year-old star, a teen idol in the 1970s with hits like How Can I Be Sure?, has told People magazine that he will stop touring as a musician to focus on his health.
"I was in denial, but a part of me always knew this was coming," he said.
His mother also suffered from the disease.
"I want to focus on what I am, who I am and how I've been, without any distractions... I want to love. I want to enjoy life," he told the magazine.
Videos on social media of performances by the singer over the weekend at Agoura, west of Los Angeles, raised concerns about his health.
Cassidy, whose hits include I Think I Love You and Cherish, has struggled with drinking and financial troubles recently.
In 2015, he filed for bankruptcy. And between 2010 and 2014, he was arrested three times for drunken driving, and was ordered to rehab as part of his sentence in 2014.
She told listeners she had had "a staggering response" since last week's seven-way leaders' debate with tourists from England telling her they wished they could vote for a similar party.
Jason asked about newspaper coverage of her appearance in the debate, with Quentin Letts of the Daily Mail suggesting she had strayed from the cast of Gavin and Stacey. Ms Wood said she welcomed the fact Fleet Street papers were now writing about Plaid Cymru
She also defended her party's candidate in Ceredigion, Mike Parker, who has made headlines in the last 24 hours over comments he wrote in Planet magazine in 2001. The story was broken by the Cambrian News and followed up by, among others, Sky News, the Western Mail and the BBC.
Many Plaid members - at least, if you can judge from Twitter - think that comments made in 2001, before he contemplated a political career, are not news, despite yesterday's row. Editor Beverly Thomas said: "The Cambrian News stands by the story's newsworthiness and relevance."
Mr Parker wrote: "It is a sad truth that many English migrants into rural Wales are out-and-out racists.
"Their principal reason for leaving English cities was to get away from the multi-cultural society, from black and Asian people in particular, and they see rural Wales, with its largely white population as a safe haven."
He added: "To some extent, rural Wales has become the British equivalent of the American mountains, inhabited by a sprinkling of paranoid conspiracy theorists, gun-toting Final Solution crackpots and anti-government obsessives."
Today, Ms Wood said: "He's an excellent candidate. He's somebody who unites people, he abhors racism.
"He didn't use the word 'Nazi', he used two words he accepts are problematic which he accepts he wouldn't use now [Final Solution]. The article needs to be put in context it was written in 2001.
"Mike is an Englishman. He's from Kidderminster, he's moved into Wales and he was raising concerns that he had discovered after conversations with his fellow countrymen.
"The article was speaking out against racist attitudes that he had come across. It looks like a deliberate attempt to smear our candidate in Ceredigion. His campaign's going very well and he's proving to be a real threat to the Liberal Democrats there."
She added: Racism is a growing problem in Wales and it is right to speak out against racism....what Mike was saying in this article back in 2001 was a statement against racism. He should be commended for speaking out against racism in such a strong way."
"It's a deliberate attempt I do believe to smear Mike Parker....he will not apologise for being a strong anti racist. And I'm proud of him for that."
Suggestions about who was behind the sudden re-discovery of the article - which made news at the time - have ranged from MI5 to the more prosaic Google. Beverly Thomas said: "The story was born from a journalist doing a journalist's job - gathering information on all 7 of Ceredigion's candidates".
Ms Wood was also asked about Plaid's hopes for the election. "We're not making predictions, that's a fool's game but of course we're going all out as hard as we can."
(Plaid campaign co-ordinator Lord Wigley has suggested Plaid hope to win six seats)
The candidates so far declared to be standing in Ceredigion are: Henrietta Hensher (Conservative), Jack Huggins (Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition), Gethin James (UKIP), Mike Parker (Plaid Cymru), Huw Thomas (Labour), Daniel Thompson (Green Party), and Mark Williams (Liberal Democrats).
One woman chose to "suffer on [her] own" through chemotherapy for fear of her family's reaction, and questioned whether God was punishing her.
Experts said others were seeking help too late, causing preventable deaths.
In one case a woman sought treatment only when her breast was rotten. She later died as the cancer had spread.
Pravina Patel, who told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme about her own experience, stumbled upon a lump in her breast when she was 36.
She grew up in a strict Indian community where even talking about the disease was considered shameful. When she was diagnosed, she decided to hide it.
"I just thought if people hear the fact that I've got cancer, they're going to think it's a death sentence," she said.
She remembered worrying that people would say she had lived a "bad life" and God was punishing her for it.
Ms Patel continued to keep the disease a secret when seeking treatment, saying she felt "extremely lonely" during chemotherapy.
"I was going through chemo sessions on my own... I had some very dark days," she explained.
Pooja Saini, the lead researcher at CLAHRC North-West Coast, a research arm of the NHS that looks into health inequalities, said her own review into the issue "really surprised" her.
"Some women went to the extent of not even having treatment because, if they went, people would know as they'd lose their hair," she explained.
She added others "feared it might affect their children because no-one would want to marry them".
It is difficult to say how widespread the problem was, because little information has been collected on ethnicity and mortality.
But in 2014, research from Bridgewater NHS found Asian women between 15 and 64 years old had a significantly reduced survival rate for breast cancer of three years.
Ms Saini said her research suggests the influence of men in the family and elders in the wider community may be contributing to the issue.
"If they didn't think women should go for screening, then they didn't go," she said.
The stigma surrounding cancer in South Asian communities spans different forms of the disease.
Ms Patel said there was a reluctance for women to go for a smear test because they did not want to be "defiled" or be considered "no longer pure".
She has now completed her chemotherapy and is in remission.
Ms Patel and her husband got divorced during her treatment - something she says was partly because of cultural expectations about how a wife should be.
Some experts are concerned that women are suffering unnecessarily.
South Asian women are more likely to be from poor, deprived backgrounds, meaning their levels of awareness of cancer are likely to be lower.
National screening statistics show people from ethnic minority communities do not go for screening as much as their white counterparts.
Madhu Agarwal, a cancer support manager who has worked in the field of cancer for more than 30 years, fears this is leading to South Asian women dying unnecessarily.
"Because of the ignorance of not presenting early, not examining the breasts... the disease has already spread [when they do seek help] and it's very difficult to manage it with treatment.
"Then the mortality is high, so there is a stigma attached - that when you get cancer you're going to die."
She said one of her patients had come for treatment so late that her breast was "fungating" and "rotten".
She recalled: "It was smelling so much that you couldn't even sit next to it."
The woman - who had young children - died because the cancer had by then spread to other parts of her body, Ms Agarwal explained.
The Victoria Derbyshire programme has heard several other accounts of the effects the stigma surrounding cancer can have.
Samina Hussain said one of her family told her to wear hijab to hide her cancer, saying "you can cover this up now".
Iyna Butt said her aunt refused chemotherapy as she felt "God had given [cancer] to her".
Ms Saini is now calling for more data on screening uptake by ethnicity to be recorded, so findings can be used to provide more tailored support to communities.
Public Health England's screening director Anne Mackie said when Ms Saini's research is published it will look to implement its suggestions.
"We've got every reason to believe that will help save women from [South] Asian backgrounds' lives as well as others from deprived backgrounds," she said.

The Swans parted company with manager Garry Monk during a slump that has seen them win once in their past 13 Premier League games.
They are in the relegation zone having finished eighth last season.
"We're searching for a striker," said Curtis, who says he will not be directly involved in recruitment.
"Everybody is looking for players who can improve the squad and improve the team."
Swansea's leading scorer, Frenchman Bafetimbi Gomis, has five goals in 18 appearances in all competitions this season.
Eder, who is injured going into the festive period, has not scored in 14 games, 10 of which he started on the bench.
Mid-table Stoke City and bottom club Aston Villa are the joint-lowest scorers in the Premier League table with 14 each.
Swansea are next lowest with 15 goals while West Brom (17) and struggling Newcastle United (19) - who are two points ahead of the Welsh club in 17th - are also yet to reach 20 goals for season.
Curtis added: "When a striker was mentioned, there are areas that we need improving or else we wouldn't be where we are.
"There will be some movement and you could probably throw a blanket and say that we need strengthening everywhere."
Swansea are home to West Brom on 26 December and away to Crystal Palace two days later before a trip to Manchester United on 2 January.
The focus of spending is on building a China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) - a network of roads, railway and pipelines between the long-time allies.
They will run some 3,000km (1,800 miles) from Gwadar in Pakistan to China's western Xinjiang region.
The projects will give China direct access to the Indian Ocean and beyond.
This marks a major advance in China's plans to boost its influence in Central and South Asia, correspondents say, and far exceeds US spending in Pakistan.
"Pakistan, for China, is now of pivotal importance. This has to succeed and be seen to succeed," Reuters quoted Mushahid Hussain Sayed, chairman of the Pakistani parliament's defence committee, as saying.
Pakistan, for its part, hopes the investment will strengthen its struggling economy and help end chronic power shortages.
Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said ties with China had "remained robust" despite political changes and "major regional developments" over four generations.
"Our relations are based on the shared ideals and principles of mutual trust, mutual benefit and mutual respect," he said.
Is Pakistan on the verge of becoming the Asian Tiger Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said it would become when he was last in power in 1997?
China plans to inject some $46bn - almost three times the entire foreign direct investment Pakistan has received since 2008. Many say Mr Sharif's penchant for "thinking big" and China's increasing need to control maritime trade routes may well combine to pull off an economic miracle in Pakistan.
But there are questions over Pakistan's ability to absorb this investment given its chronic problems with militancy, separatism, political volatility and official corruption.
China is worried about violence from ethnic Uighurs in its mostly Muslim north-western Xinjiang region and fears hard-line separatists could team up with Uighur militants fighting alongside members of Pakistan's Taliban.
In Pakistan, a decade-old separatist insurgency in Balochistan province, where the economic corridor starts, makes that area extremely volatile. Many observers believe however that the incentive of an economic miracle may make Islamabad work harder to stabilise the situation.
China prestige projects around the world
Mr Xi will spend two days holding talks with his counterpart Mamnoon Hussain, Mr Sharif and other ministers.
He was expected to discuss security issues with Mr Sharif, including China's concerns that Muslim separatists from Xinjiang are linking up with Pakistani militants.
"China and Pakistan need to align security concerns more closely to strengthen security co-operation," Mr Xi said on Sunday.
Under the CPEC plan, China's government and banks will lend to Chinese companies, so they can invest in projects as commercial ventures.
Some $15.5bn worth of coal, wind, solar and hydro energy projects will come online by 2017 and add 10,400 megawatts of energy to Pakistan's national grid, according to officials.
A $44m optical fibre cable between the two countries is also due to be built.
Pakistan, meanwhile, hopes the investment will enable it to transform itself into a regional economic hub.
Ahsan Iqbal, the Pakistani minister overseeing the plan, told AFP news agency that these were "very substantial and tangible projects which will have a significant transformative effect".
Pakistan's neighbour and rival, India, will be watching developments closely. Delhi is wary of China's regional ambitions, despite relations improving markedly in recent years.
President Xi visited Delhi last year, after postponing his visit to Islamabad because of anti-government protests. India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi is due in China next month.
The 19-year-old, who has been on trial with Blues for a month since leaving the German Bundesliga side, has signed up for the rest of the 2015-16 season.
"He'd been at Dortmund a while," Blues boss Gary Rowett told BBC WM 95.6.
"He felt his opportunities were limited given the huge powerhouse of a club they are. But he fills a gap. We think he's different to what we have."
Mbende, who has played for Cameroon at youth level, has made three appearances for Birmingham's development side and will initially be part of their Under-21 squad rather than the first team.
Rowett added: "We've had a look at Emmanuel for two or there weeks and we've taken him on a development contract.
"He's about six foot four wide and six foot four high. There's a lot to work on because of his attributes. He's technically very good and we haven't got an Under-21 defender of that size and power.
"Obviously he's got a good pedigree at Dortmund. It's a case of us giving him an opportunity to see if we can push him into the first team group."
The visitors took the lead on 11 minutes as Robbie Muirhead collected Harvey Barnes' ball over the top and lashed a fierce low finish past Walsall goalkeeper Craig MacGillivray from 15 yards.
Walsall went close to a leveller on 27 minutes as George Dobson's free-kick caused confusion in the Dons box, but Kory Roberts' close-range header was tipped over by Lee Nicholls.
Dons doubled their advantage on 33 minutes with another sweet strike, Ben Reeves cutting inside and curling a fine 20-yard left-footed effort into the bottom corner from the right-hand edge of the box.
They added a fortunate third goal 20 minutes from time, Stuart O'Keefe credited with it as he unwittingly deflected Ben Tilney's long-range strike past a stranded MacGillivray.
Erhun Oztumer pulled one back for Walsall on 84 minutes, drilling home his 15th of the season from 20 yards, but Barnes rounded off the rout with a deflected strike from 12 yards a minute later.
Match report supplied by the Press Association.
Police believe three men who knew each other were involved in the clash near the Piccolino restaurant in London Road, Virgina Water, at 17:00 BST.
One man fled the scene and is believed to have stopped a number of cars to try to get away.
A 46-year-old man and a 25-year-old man have been arrested and remain in police custody.
Two men are believed to have caused damage to a vehicle using metal poles.
A third man is then thought to have attacked one of the others with a machete, causing a significant hand injury which required surgery.
He then fled the scene, and is believed to have stopped a number of cars, including a red Ferrari.
Det Sgt Andy Jenkins, who is leading the investigation, said: "There would have been a lot of people around and we are really keen to speak to anyone who witnessed any of the events so we can build a clear picture of what has taken place.
"We would especially like to talk to the drivers of the cars the third man has stopped."
The ex-shadow business secretary, who is considering a challenge for the leadership, said the UK was in "crisis" and needed "strong opposition".
It comes as former Labour leader Lord Kinnock said MPs were "fundamentally alarmed" by the party's prospects.
But James Schneider, from grassroots movement Momentum, said Mr Corbyn still had "enormous support".
Events have been taking place in support of the Labour leader, including in Leeds and Liverpool - where more than 1,000 demonstrators attended.
Mr Corbyn has come under increasing pressure from Labour MPs following the EU referendum, resulting in a host of shadow cabinet resignations.
On Tuesday, a motion of no confidence in the Labour leader was passed by the party's MPs by 172-40 votes.
Ms Eagle and shadow secretary of state for work and pensions Owen Smith are both considering a challenge to Mr Corbyn.
Renewing her call for Mr Corbyn to resign, Ms Eagle said: "He's lost the confidence of the parliamentary party.
"He's losing confidence in the party. And let's face it the country's in a crisis and we need strong opposition."
Earlier former Labour leader Lord Kinnock said he supported the moves to remove Mr Corbyn.
"I totally understand and I completely support the members of Parliament who voted in the no-confidence motion," he told BBC Radio 5 Live,.
"They were doing the clear, honest thing when they are so fundamentally alarmed by the prospects for the party."
BBC Newsnight understands shadow cabinet members are drawing up plans to encourage Mr Corbyn to resign.
A delegation of MPs tried to meet Mr Corbyn on Thursday to put forward their plan, but were unsuccessful, the BBC has learned.
Under the plan, potential leadership contenders would agree to pursue some of Mr Corbyn's key policies on issues including tackling inequality and making the party more democratic.
Mr Corbyn has previously said he would not "betray" party members who elected him last year by standing down.
Momentum spokesman Mr Schneider told BBC Radio 4's Today programme Mr Corbyn had shown "incredible steel" in remaining leader, and he accused other MPs of trying to "subvert democracy in the party".
"If they are unhappy with Jeremy Corbyn's leadership or the policies which he is standing for, they need to get 51 signatures, they need to find a candidate, they need to find a platform and they need to go for it," he said.
"But they don't have a candidate who can beat Jeremy Corbyn."
He said there was a "reasonable amount of evidence" to suggest people who had joined the Labour Party in a recent surge had joined to support Mr Corbyn, as 60% of the first 13,000 members had put this on their joining form.
Meanwhile, former Welsh Secretary Lord Hain told the BBC's Sunday Politics Wales programme he had never been as concerned as he was now about the party's prospects ,saying it was "much more serious" than the "early 1980s strife".
Mr Corbyn has faced a series of walkouts by shadow cabinet members and mounting calls for him to resign, following the EU referendum.
In the Commons last week Prime Minister David Cameron, told him: "For heaven's sake man, go."
Mr Corbyn's predecessor, Ed Miliband, also told BBC Radio 4's The World at One the Labour leader's position was "untenable".
But senior allies of Mr Corbyn, who has strong support among the party's members, are determined to keep him in place.
Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell has said he is confident Mr Corbyn would see off any challenge to his leadership. | Cardiff's Ice Arena Wales will stage the Elite Ice Hockey League Challenge Cup final in 2017.

The 24-year-old will only be sold to the Spanish giants as part of a swap deal, with defender Sergio Ramos, 29, joining United.
The club see Real as acting "like bullies" and, with their own revenue soaring, are intent on "slugging it out" with Real for the best players.
De Gea is Real's main summer target.
The Spaniard has one year left on his contract and wants to return to his homeland.
But the Old Trafford club, irritated at the idea Real can cherry-pick their best players, struck first, making two bids for Ramos - the most recent for £28.6m - which have both been turned down.
And speaking on the Spanish club's pre-season tour in Australia, Real Madrid's new coach Rafael Benitez said Ramos, the only Real player United are interested in, was going nowhere.
But while United and manager Louis van Gaal know there is no chance of persuading De Gea to remain at Old Trafford beyond 2016, they are adamant they will not part with their two-time player of the year other than on their terms.
The loss of a potential transfer fee is offset by the knowledge that De Gea can be the difference between winning trophies and not, while in turning down a contract offer from United believed to be around £180,000 a week, the keeper remains on the same £60,000 salary he agreed when he left Atletico Madrid in 2011.
There is also a wider issue. Since the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo for £80m in 2009, United have seen Real sign up a succession of big names, including, in the case of Gareth Bale - who signed from Spurs for a world record £85.3m - players they would like to have signed themselves. The club's hierarchy are eager to see this situation change.
Given Real's more cautious spending policy this summer, there is a belief at Old Trafford that the Spanish club's revenue is increasingly constrained.
The reason for that is a combination of the new method of negotiating TV deals in Spain - Real and domestic rivals Barcelona will no longer be free to negotiate their own contracts and will instead become part of a central pool - the fact most of their major sponsorship deals are already in place, and the fact they have agreed a series of expensive, long-term contracts with their star players.
Meanwhile, Van Gaal has revealed reserve goalkeeper Victor Valdes refused to play for United's under-21 team and is to be sold.
But the 33-year-old could remain at the club for a while, given statements from his agent that Valdes does not want to leave and the fact that - given his strong Barcelona connection - it may be difficult for him to play for another club in Spain.
The assistant in question is a former glamour model.
She was handing out cards assigning the speaking order to the candidates.
Mexico's Electoral Commission said the woman's tight white dress, with its plunging neckline, had distracted attention from important issues.
"We are sorry about the production error associated with the clothing of one of the assistants during the first presidential debate and want to apologise to the citizens and the candidates for the presidency," a statement released by the Commission said.
'Outrageous stereotype'
The Commission said an independent production firm had hired the model, Julia Orayen.
TV producer Jesus Tapia said he had settled for Ms Orayen because she was considerably shorter than the two other women who had applied for the job.
"Given the [short] stature of the candidates I chose her," he said.
He also said that she was what they had been looking for: "A pleasant, young and fresh presence."
Mr Tapia said the dress had been Ms Orayen's choice, and "in the madness of the moment" it had not been checked.
Josefina Vazquez Mota, who is bidding to become Mexico's first female president, said the assistant's dress was "not in keeping with the seriousness of the debate".
Electoral Commission member Lorenzo Cordova said it was deplorable that a stellar event in the electoral process should have been overshadowed by an "outrageous stereotype".
It was the first TV debate ahead of July's poll pitting the four presidential hopefuls against each other.
A second debate is set for 10 June.
It follows a major feasibility study commissioned by Scottish Borders Council (SBC) which found a timber kiln would be economically viable.
A lack of suitable facilities in the area was seen as a key constraint to developing the local forestry sector.
The council will hold a seminar next month which will outline opportunities for businesses.
Jointly presented by SBC and the Borders Woodfuel Forum, the seminar will explore the findings of the feasibility study and discuss market opportunities for premium quality wood chip and firewood.
The study, which was backed by the Scottish government, found that the most viable existing market for a new timber kiln would be the production of biomass fuel in the form wood chips or dried logs.
It argued that a new facility would benefit the local economy in terms of employment, greater local timber utilisation and an increased demand for woodfuel.
The council said it had made the full report available to the private sector to "encourage businesses to consider seizing the opportunity to develop a new kiln drying facility in our region".
SBC councillor Stuart Bell said: "Studies undertaken as part of the Scottish Borders Woodland Strategy identified the lack of kiln drying facilities as a key constraint on the local timber processing sector.
"Dried timber is a prerequisite for the majority of added value timber products.
"The feasibility study confirms that, currently, there are only two very small drying kilns in the Scottish Borders but increased production of kiln-dried timber within the region could generate a range of new products serving potentially large markets, both new and existing, in the region and surrounding areas."

Moshiri's approval was a formality given his association with Arsenal but the Premier League needed to conduct checks for the Owners' and Directors' Test before confirming the deal.
Moshiri bought the 23% holding of former Everton director Robert Earl while Kenwright and board member Jon Woods diluted their shares to make up the rest of Moshiri's purchase
Kenwright, who bought Everton from Peter Johnson for £20m in 1999 and indicated his willingness to sell as far back as November 2007, has described Moshiri as "the perfect partner to take the club forward".
Sian Blake, 43, Zachary, eight, and four-year-old Amon were found buried in the garden of their London home on 5 January.
Arthur Simpson-Kent, 49, has pleaded guilty to the killings and is being sentenced at the Old Bailey.
The court heard he killed them in December and later fled to Ghana.
The cannabis dealer faces whole life sentences for killing Ms Blake, who had motor neurone disease, and their children.
The court heard that Ms Blake's illness and her "unhealthy" relationship led her to consider selling their home and moving back in with her family.
She had spoken to her mother, Lindell Blake, about the four of them moving in with her but her mother said Simpson Kent could not come, which Ms Blake "appeared to accept".
Mark Heywood QC, prosecuting, said: "The evidence suggests, and this much is not disputed, that, on the night of December 14, 2015, the defendant killed each of them in turn with heavy, deliberate, repeated blows with a blunt instrument not since recovered, and then by cutting and stabbing them with a bladed weapon in a way that ensured their deaths.
"He then covered his crimes by moving, wrapping and burying each of them, cleaning and partially painting his home."
In the days following her death, family tried to contact Ms Blake and received texts from her mobile phone saying she had gone away, the court was told.
Mr Heywood said: "The defendant, using her [Ms Blake's] phone, was sending the messages."
He said that, as police launched a missing persons investigation into Ms Blake and her children, Simpson-Kent booked a flight from Glasgow to Accra.
In a message to a friend, he said: "I can't go into details about what I have done but I only have 2 choices. Go to Ghana one way or Die (sic)."
He was later tracked down by police and arrested on a beach in his native Ghana, before being extradited back to the UK.
When interviewed by detectives in Accra, he claimed there had been a murder-suicide pact between him and Ms Blake because of her illness - but nothing was written down.
Ms Blake played Frankie Pierre in 56 episodes of EastEnders between 1996 and 1997.
Jim Sturman QC, acting for Simpson-Kent, told the court the couple had previously discussed "ending it all" because of her illness.
But he added: "There was no agreement to kill in this way and it was against this backdrop that the guilty pleas were entered.
"It is not suggested that the killings were a mercy killing. It is our case that Simpson-Kent snapped under the pressure of the disease, the way it was killing Sian and the inevitability of it all."
He said the defendant was "not a man prone to violence", adding: "What happened on that night was a truly extraordinary and out-of-character murder."
The sentencing hearing continues.
David Cotterill fired the visitors in front before Anthony Pilkington seized on sloppy Blues defending to equalise.
In a drab second half, Birmingham's James Vaughan missed the best chance as he hit the post when clean through on David Marshall in the Cardiff goal.
The result sees Bluebirds finish the season in eighth place, while Birmingham drop to 10th.
In Slade's last match as Cardiff manager before becoming the club's head of football, there was nothing riding on it for either team.
Cardiff's slim play-off hopes were resoundingly ended by a 3-0 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday the previous weekend, while Birmingham had already fallen out of contention for the top six.
Blues did not seem to lack motivation as Cardiff-born Cotterill gave them the lead with a powerful low strike as his assistant manager for Wales, Osian Roberts, watched from the stands.
Diego Fabbrini hit the post with a shot from the edge of the area as Gary Rowett's side impressed, but they contributed to their downfall as Cardiff equalised.
Jonathan Grounds seemed to have time to clear Scott Malone's cross but dithered, allowing Pilkington to pinch the ball and finish from close range.
The game's intensity dipped in the second half, with Cardiff only mustering a handful of half-chances.
Cotterill was close to scoring a second Birmingham goal, but his dipping free-kick from 25 yards was brilliantly headed off the line by Noone.
The best opportunity fell to substitute Vaughan who, one-on-one with Cardiff goalkeeper Marshall, shot against the post.
Cardiff manager Russell Slade: "I move to my new role with my head held high. We have made progress as a club, we have taken strides to get us on the right track again.
"I don't think it will take an awful lot more progress for this club to get where it wants to be. There is a sound platform for the next head coach to build on."

Birmingham manager Gary Rowett: "In stages we played well, we came on far stronger in the last 25 minutes but our performances have not been reflected in the points we have taken.
"That has cost us but this has been a very positive season for this club and we are moving forward."
The stated purpose of the new Bill is to make the UK the most attractive place in Europe for commercial space - including launches from British soil.
But officials and stakeholders are keen to ensure the space sector does not lose out when the UK leaves the EU.
The government intends to increase the UK share of the global space economy from 6.5% today to 10% by 2030.
Spaceports have been an important sticking point.
Previous feasibility work has already identified a number of aerodromes that might make suitable spaceports - from Cornwall to Scotland.
But as the law stands, rocket planes and other launch systems currently in development around the world would not be able to operate out of the UK. The Bill would sweep away this barrier by "enabling [scientists] to launch from UK soil".
The government says its legislation would "offer the UK's world-leading small satellite companies new options for low-cost, reliable access to space".
Overall, the legislation aims to "deliver a stronger economy by generating jobs and putting British business, engineering and science at the forefront of this technology".
It is also intended to secure continued growth of the space industry, which has been growing at an annual rate of 8% over the last decade. The sector already outperforms the UK economy as a whole.
While Brexit will not affect the UK's status as a member of the European Space Agency (Esa), projects such as Galileo - the European sat-nav system - are largely funded by the EU.
Guildford-based satellite manufacturer SSTL is building satellites for the system as part of a UK-German consortium.
But there are restrictions on "third countries" working on classified EU information and technologies, which applies to Galileo.
More on the Queen's Speech
There is now a concerted effort to keep the UK - and SSTL - inside the programme.
Likewise, the Copernicus programme - which includes an effort to gather information about the health of the Earth from satellite observations - is directed by the EU in partnership with Esa. The UK invested in the programme with the aim of ensuring access to operational data for industry and academia.
Commenting on the announcement, Paul Everitt, chair of ADS, the trade association for the aerospace and defence sectors, said: "By paving the way for a UK spaceport and our own rocket and satellite launches, this commitment has the potential to generate significant further growth.
He added: "Our sectors look to the future with confidence, but this is no time for complacency. The government must put renewed energy into industrial strategy, which has delivered real results."
But Mr Everitt urged the government to refresh its approach to leaving the EU: "No deal is the worst outcome for the UK and Europe, and the government needs to build a strong consensus on the priorities and options for a successful Brexit," he said.
Neil Fraser, head of space and communications at satellite broadcasting firm ViaSat, commented: "Critics may prefer the UK Government to look closer to home, but investments in space quickly return commercial applications."
He added that space "is a dynamic, fast growing sector which employs some of the country's top talent, as well as contributing to economic growth and other important national needs, such as Earth observation and satellite communications".
One key concern for industry is getting access to qualified staff. At the moment, engineers can move without restriction inside the EU, and the UK space sector's leaders have told government that if the ambitious target for future growth is to be achieved then the recruitment of talent from the continent must continue to be frictionless.

The England striker, sidelined since 18 September with an ankle injury, scored from the penalty spot early in the second half after Kevin Wimmer's own goal three minutes before the interval gave Arsenal the advantage.
The Gunners knew victory would put them top of the table, and Theo Walcott almost put them ahead, crashing a shot against the post, before Wimmer glanced Mesut Ozil's free-kick past Hugo Lloris.
Spurs responded well with Kane's spot-kick after Laurent Koscielny tangled with Mousa Dembele. They then threatened to take all three points, Christian Eriksen forcing a fine save from Petr Cech before his angled free-kick bounced back off the post in the closing minutes.
Arsenal could have gone top of the Premier League with victory here - moving ahead of Chelsea and Manchester City - and all the omens seemed good for them.
The Gunners were in prime form - they remain unbeaten since the opening day of the season - and faced a Spurs side in reduced circumstances, without a win in six games and missing the influence of injured defender Toby Alderweireld and midfielder Dele Alli.
With Kane also returning after a seven-week absence, Arsenal would have entered this north London derby high on optimism - yet had to settle for a draw.
Arsenal were pushed on to the back foot for the first 20 minutes but then exerted their authority to lead by half-time, only to be knocked off track by the concession of that cheap penalty.
The Gunners still showed plenty of grit but in the end they did not possess enough guile to unlock a resolute Spurs defence, who held out in relative comfort for a point.
It may seem strange to suggest, but spirits appeared low at Spurs despite the fact they entered this game as the only unbeaten team left in the Premier League.
Spurs were on an indifferent run after a superb 2-0 win against Manchester City in early October, and their Champions League campaign is in real danger of fizzling out after that second Wembley defeat in the group stage against Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday.
They left Emirates Stadium in better heart after a strong performance and the return of their main marksman Kane, who looked dangerous, albeit short of full match fitness.
Spurs overcame the loss of important players to fully deserve their point and the manner in which they responded to conceding that unfortunate own goal just before half-time will have left Mauricio Pochettino more satisfied than counterpart Arsene Wenger.
England striker Kane got a standing ovation from the visiting fans when he was replaced by Vincent Janssen after 72 minutes.
He proved once more that he is this team's talisman, stepping up to score coolly from the spot and showing plenty of energy considering this was his first game back.
Spurs had played 903 minutes without Kane before this game, scoring 13 goals - five of which came against Gillingham in the EFL Cup - and while his strike was not from open play, the signs were there that they will profit from the extra menace he brings.
He was in a dangerous position but did not get on the end of Son Heung-min's cross in the first half and also glanced a header narrowly wide. As well his penalty, it also took a superb challenge from Arsenal defender Nacho Monreal to stop him putting Spurs ahead after the break as he stole in at the far post.
All in all a very satisfactory comeback.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, speaking to BBC Sport: "It is disappointing to drop two points at home. We created plenty of chances in dangerous situations.
"In the second half we looked more laboured, there were plenty of aspects I did not like, the desire was there but we were too nervous.
"We lacked what we are strong at; the fluency of movement, vision around the box. We usually play better from the back, there was a lot missing.
"Spurs go home happy, we go home and are not happy. We wanted to win the game, but overall it is not mathematically a disaster."
On the Spurs penalty: "From the outside it looked a very soft penalty, I was surprised."

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino, speaking to BT Sport: "It was a strong performance from my team. Arsenal were on a good run, our players deserve full credit, they were fantastic.
"They played well, we created some chances to win the game, it was very competitive and good to see."
On Arsenal's opener: "Some people say to me it is offside, it is unlucky but we showed big character, we didn't suffer, we started the second half well, deserved the penalty and scored."
On Harry Kane's return: "I am happy with Harry Kane, it is tough after not playing for a few months,. I am happy he is back, it is important for the team to feel one of our best players is available."
Arsenal play away to Manchester United in a 12:30 GMT kick-off on Saturday, 19 November after the international break.

West Indies, 44-1 overnight in reply to England's 514-8 declared, were bowled out for 168 and 137.
James Anderson took 3-34 in the first innings and Stuart Broad 3-34 in the second to move above Sir Ian Botham into second on the list of England's all-time leading Test wicket-takers.
England take the lead in the three-match series, and have named the same 13-man squad for the second Test beginning on Friday at Headingley.
That and the final match at Lord's will revert to traditional playing hours after this contest was held under lights to help England prepare for the Ashes.
While they have been given experience of playing with the pink ball, a poor West Indies side do not look likely to provide any sort of examination before the tour of Australia.
Off the field, the staging of the floodlit game can be seen as a success - the three days that have seen play were close to a sell-out - but the contest was not befitting of the historic occasion.
England captain Joe Root said before this match that it was an opportunity for some members of his top order to earn a place on the Ashes tour.
However, the home side batted only once, meaning Mark Stoneman and Tom Westley, who both made only eight, must wait for the second Test for another chance to impress.
Dawid Malan registered his highest Test score, but 65 is unlikely to be enough to guarantee his place on the plane.
As for West Indies, who have not won a Test in the UK for 17 years, their capitulation resulted in the Test being even more one-sided than was feared beforehand.
Although the cloudy sky made bowling conditions favourable, England often had to do little more than find a full length and wait for the visiting batsmen to miss, play across the line or edge the ball.
Eight West Indies batsmen were out twice on Saturday, and in all they scored 219 runs for the fall of those 19 wickets - the most they have lost on a single day of Test cricket.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan told BBC Test Match Special:"I really fear this series could be one of the saddest for Test cricket.
"Every time West Indies have arrived in England, they seem to have got worse and worse."

Anderson took the only wicket on Friday and had a hand in each dismissal as West Indies lost 3-3 when play resumed on Saturday.
Kyle Hope fended a rising delivery to gully and Roston Chase played on either side of Kieran Powell being run out by Anderson's direct hit from mid-on.
West Indies were without the technique, application or patience to survive, so Jermaine Blackwood chanced his arm to hit an unbeaten 79 from 76 balls.
At the other end, Toby Roland-Jones' full length accounted for Shai Hope and Shane Dowrich, Moeen Ali had Jason Holder caught behind and Stuart Broad also went full to dismiss both Kemar Roach and Alzarri Joseph.
When Tom Westley produced another direct hit to run out Miguel Cummins - the batsman was not even close to making his ground - it typified the hopelessness of the West Indies' effort.

With a lead of 346 and, after bowling 47 overs, England enforced the follow-on, with West Indies' only real goal to drag the match into a fourth day.
Instead, they lasted for just another 45.4 overs.
Kraigg Brathwaite, the sole West Indies player not to bat twice in the day, made 40 but, after he and Blackwood were removed, a three-day finish was inevitable.
Both fell to off-spinner Moeen, Brathwaite lbw on review and Blackwood stumped by some distance after an inexplicable charge down the track.
Broad, once more bowling full and straight, got to work on the lower order, at one point taking 3-4 in 11 balls to reach 384 Test wickets, one ahead of Botham.
Chase was lbw, Dowrich bowled and Holder caught at first slip for a golden duck.
Anderson returned to clatter an inswinger into the stumps of Roach before Roland-Jones had Joseph held by Ben Stokes at third slip to end the match under a night sky and to the soundtrack of a raucous Hollies Stand.
England bowler Stuart Broad on Test Match Special: "It's a special day. Ian Botham has been a hero of mine. I used to watch him play. He had a great influence on me.
"He gave me my Test cap in 2007 but six months before that I got a call up to the West Indies and he was there. He gave me advice, saying, 'You're in this position because you've performed for your county so just relax and don't put extra pressure on yourself'. That advice is something I've always tried to hold on to."
England captain Joe Root: "We were relentless on a wicket that did do a little bit. When you have the skill of Broad, Anderson and the other guys, it can be difficult for the opposition.
"It's important we rest up and stay fresh. We now have a bonus day off for the lads to put their feet up."
Former England captain Michael Vaughan: "England will be delighted. They would have been expected to win at the start of the week but probably not as comfortable as it has been."
West Indies captain Jason Holder: "I am not happy. We just weren't good enough. Being beaten in three days is disappointing.
"We need to turn it around. We have to spend next the few days recuperating and coming up with some new plans."

The arrest of a 26-year-old local man follows a claim a boy was "taken" into a van in Redhill on Thursday.
But Surrey Police said "an extensive and thorough investigation" had not found evidence to support the story.
The force added: "We had to act quickly to prevent what was suspected to be a risk to a child's life."
The victim was described as white, about 4ft (1.2m) tall and wearing a red T-shirt and navy blue jeans.
He was said to be "taken against his will" but no parent reported a child matching the description as being missing.
On Friday, Supt Chris Edwards of Surrey Police said he was "completely satisfied" with the credibility of the witness.
But in a statement, the force said that after re-interviewing the man at length, and as a result of its inquires, "no further information has come to light to corroborate the report".
The senior investigating officer, Det Supt Pete Fulton, said officers had reviewed hours of CCTV from across the area, carried out house-to-house enquiries, talked to commuters at a railway station and checked potential vehicles matching the description.
He said missing children databases were checked and police received more than 100 calls from members of the public in fewer than 24 hours, "all of which takes a significant amount of time".
He said: "We are the sure the public understands that when information such as this is received we treat it extremely seriously and must do all we can to investigate what's happened."
The owner of a van pictured in a CCTV image and initially circulated by police was traced and ruled out of the inquiry.
A bicycle said to be left by the roadside after the alleged abduction was also later revealed to belong to an unconnected person, police said.
Det Sup Fulton said: "It is understandable this has caused a considerable amount of concern and confusion in the area which will last beyond just these few days.
"We will continue to work with the community and realise that this has been disruptive and had a large impact, however I hope that you are reassured that we take your safety extremely seriously."
The arrested man was released on bail.
In a phone call with his Russian counterpart, Mr Kerry also expressed concern about "provocative Russian troop movements" near Ukraine's border.
Pro-Russia militia continue to occupy official buildings in a dozen eastern cities, defying the government in Kiev.
EU diplomats are to meet on Monday to discuss fresh sanctions against Russia.
The G7 group of economic powers has also agreed to intensify sanctions against Russia over Ukraine.
Speaking on a visit to Malaysia on Sunday, US President Barack Obama stressed it was important to take further steps to send "a message" to Moscow that its destabilising actions in eastern Ukraine must stop.
But Mr Obama stressed that "a diplomatic path to resolve this issue" was still possible.
The West is accusing Moscow of leading a secessionist revolt in eastern Ukraine after it annexed Crimea last month. Russia strongly denies the claim.
Russia said on Saturday it would "take all possible steps" to secure the release of eight observers from the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) who were seized and accused of espionage by pro-Russia gunmen.
The group - believed to be military observers from Germany, Denmark, Poland, Sweden and the Czech Republic - is being held along with several Ukrainian army personnel in the city of Sloviansk.
Those holding the observers have said they could be exchanged for prisoners held by Ukrainian forces. However, Kiev says they are being used as human shields.
The US state department said Mr Kerry "expressed continued concern that Russia's provocative troop movements on Ukraine's border, its support for separatists and its inflammatory rhetoric are undermining stability, security and unity in Ukraine".
Mr Kerry also "urged Russian support without preconditions for the efforts of the OSCE and the government of Ukraine to liberate the... inspectors and their Ukrainian guides," the statement added.
For his part, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Ukraine must end military operations in the east of the country as part of urgent measures to defuse the crisis.
Ukrainian troops have carried out a number of raids to try to regain control of official buildings.
The crisis began when protesters toppled pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych in February and has since plunged East-West relations to their lowest point since the Cold War.
Russia has tens of thousands of troops deployed along its side of the border with Ukraine and has said it will act if its interests are threatened.
On Saturday, the G7 praised Ukraine for acting with restraint in dealing with the "armed bands" that had occupied government buildings.
But the group, which comprises the US, UK, Germany, Japan, France, Canada and Italy, condemned Russia's "increasingly concerning rhetoric and ongoing threatening military manoeuvres."
The G7 said it was committed to intensifying sanctions on Russia, ahead of Ukrainian presidential elections next month.
The US and EU already have asset freezes and travel bans in place targeting a number of Russian individuals and firms accused of playing a part in the annexation of Crimea.
Coca, the raw ingredient for cocaine, has been used in the Andes for thousands of years to combat altitude sickness and as a mild stimulant.
Mr Machicao said the government offered the Pope coca tea and the pontiff had "specifically requested" to chew coca.
The Vatican has not yet commented. The Pope travels to Bolivia on 8 July.
Coca leaves were declared an illegal substance under the 1961 UN convention on narcotic drugs.
But the growing of coca leaves for religious and medicinal purposes is legal and licensed in Bolivia.
Many indigenous Bolivians consider the coca bush a sacred plant and chewing its leaves or brewing them into a tea is very popular.
Bolivia's 2009 constitution even declared the coca leaf "a cultural patrimony".
President Evo Morales, who used to be a coca grower, has long campaigned to decriminalise the consumption of coca leaves.
If the Pope were to chew coca leaves during his visit to the Andean country it would provide strong backing for Mr Morales's campaign.
"We will be awaiting the Holy Father with the sacred coca leaf," Mr Machicao said.
The Pope's visit to Bolivia is part of a larger tour of Latin American countries which will also take him to Ecuador and Paraguay.
The case led to widespread shock in Kenya and around the world after police ordered some of the alleged attackers to cut grass as punishment.
On Monday, hundreds of people marched through the town of Busia to demand justice for the girl, known as "Liz".
She suffered a broken back and serious internal injuries.
The girl was attacked and repeatedly raped in June as she returned from her grandfather's funeral in Tingolo village in western Kenya's Busia County.
The BBC's Robert Kiptoo reports from outside court in Busia town that the trial is being held in-camera because the accused and alleged victim are minors.
He understands that the girl has already testified, and will now be cross-examined by the defence lawyer.
Her family has been barred from the courtroom, along with the family of the accused, our reporter says.
There are no protests outside the court, he adds.
More than 1.3 million people have signed an online petition demanding that the attackers are prosecuted.
Police say they are continuing investigations into the five other alleged attackers.
Her case caused an uproar after Kenya's influential Daily Nation newspaper reported that police in Busia had ordered three of the suspects she identified as her rapists to cut grass as punishment and had chosen not to prosecute them.
Police chief David Kimaiyo then intervened, and promised that a thorough investigation would take place.
Under Kenyan law, anyone convicted of gang rape face a sentence of between 15 years and life in prison.
Labour's Paul Flynn called for "practical arrangements of reasonable value" to allow Welsh-language speeches when Welsh business is discussed.
Plaid Cymru MP Jonathan Edwards agreed, saying the Welsh affairs and Welsh grand committees should be bilingual.
Deputy Leader of the House of Commons Tom Brake said MPs could already use Welsh in the chamber in short extracts.
He said UK ministers were committed to the Welsh language.
During questions to the leader of the house, Mr Flynn said "the use of the Welsh language is still treated as though it is secondary to that of English, inevitably".
"Sensible arrangements can be made. Other parliaments deal with half a dozen languages".
Mr Edwards noted that "about half of those who took part in yesterday's Welsh Grand Committee debate on the Budget were fluent, first-language Welsh speakers".
"Surely the sittings of the Welsh Affairs Committee and the Welsh Grand Committee should be held bilingually, thereby making Welsh an official language of this Parliament, the same as English and Norman French?"
The comments were prompted by a question from Conservative MP Glyn Davies about steps the UK government was taking to promote use of the Welsh language in House of Commons business.
Mr Brake said MPs can already use Welsh in the proceedings of the House in short extracts, "but a translation for the benefit of non-Welsh speakers should be provided".
He added that the "House agreed in 2001 to the recommendation of the Select Committee on Procedure that witnesses before select committees should be able to give evidence in Welsh.
"The impact assessment for the Wales Bill was also translated into Welsh, so action is being taken where it can be," he said.
Kenny Miller's first-half strike secured victory against Luxembourg's Progres Niederkorn in their Europa League first round qualifier.
"I'm not a guy that can make miracles in three weeks," said boss Caixinha, who fielded five of his new signings.
"The team is ready to get the rhythm. You only get it playing and by time."
Three new arrivals - Fabio Cardoso, Ryan Jack and Dalcio - started the match, with fellow summer captures Daniel Candeias and Alfredo Morelos coming on as substitutes.
Miller's first-half finish ensured the Ibrox side take a lead into Tuesday's second leg, but Caixinha's side were expected to win far more comfortably against the part-timers.
"It's not a question of fitness, it's a question of time to get the fitness," Caixinha added.
"The majority of the players had a good performance, a good rhythm. It's not a question of fitness but it's more a question of better decisions and more aggression."
Niko Kranjcar, signed last summer by Mark Warburton but injured for most of the campaign, was the star of the show for Rangers.
And Caixinha believes the Croat can be a key figure this term.
"He's a fantastic player, a playmaker, he's someone that understands the game," the manager added. "With some freshness in the legs and some freshness in his decisions, we were producing some fantastic football.
"He knows how to play between lines, how to make the last pass, his delivery on set-pieces was great. So he needs to keep playing to get the rhythm.
"We are building a team and we know it's better to build with a small result but at the same time a win. We want to progress and keep going in this competition but, of course, in the second leg we need to do more and we want to keep going."
The Portuguese coach says his side will be set up to go for the win at the Stade Josy Barthel on Tuesday.
"It is half-time and we are winning," he said. "I don't want the team to think that we are winning going there and to just think about a draw or a 2-1 or whatever.
"I'm not thinking like that. I just think about winning. This is the mentality of our club and the standards demanded. This is the way we need to think."
Progres boss Paolo Amodio said. "We will start with 0-0 next week and anything is possible in football.
"I think all the pressure is on Rangers to make sure they go through. They probably expected to win tonight by five or six goals and it's not the case so anything could happen next week."
Should Rangers reach the second round, they look likely to face Cypriot side AEL Limassol, who won 4-0 away to St Joseph's of Gibraltar.
It shows that youngsters from Chinese and Indian backgrounds are the most likely to enter university.
The poorest Chinese pupils are more likely to go to university than the richest white pupils.
The study says the proportion of ethnic minority youngsters going to university is "very high on average".
Report authors Claire Crawford and Ellen Greaves say that the difference is greater than any previous gap in exam results, suggesting there must be "other factors that are more common amongst ethnic minority families than amongst white British families".
The study looks at the differences in terms of social background as well as ethnicity.
It found that white British pupils from the poorest families were the least likely to go to university.
But almost as high a proportion of the poorest Indian youngsters went to university as the wealthiest white British pupils.
The analysis shows that the ethnic categories of black African and black Caribbean both have higher rates of going to university than their white British counterparts.

Two years earlier, Phil Mickelson had delivered a shocking and devastating critique of his captain and the American Ryder Cup set-up. The contrast in mood and sentiment this time around could not have been greater.
America's journey towards regaining the trophy after eight long years in European hands began with that fractious news conference immediately after Tom Watson's team suffered heavy defeat at Gleneagles.
In the immediate aftermath of the United States' 17-11 victory at Hazeltine, Mickelson joked: "The pressure started when some dumb ass opened his mouth two years ago in the media centre."
Back then, Mickelson was heavily criticised for insulting a golfing legend.

But the fallout helped create a more cohesive, collected and motivated team than those that had lost eight of the previous 10 Ryder Cups. Captained for the second time by Davis Love, the US were able to take full advantage against a relatively weak European line-up.
Darren Clarke's side were always going to be up against it, because this match coincided with a period of generational change. There were six first-timers in a team missing stalwarts such as Ian Poulter, Graeme McDowell and Luke Donald.
As we saw at Gleneagles in 2014, heavy defeats can spawn rancour and recrimination, but despite being comprehensively outplayed there was, quite rightly, none from the European side.
They were due a defeat, and the Americans were able to exploit home advantage; riding the wave of raucous support and making the most of a soft course set-up.
For Europe to have won, Clarke would have needed to gamble on giving his rookies more responsibility. He was a naturally cautious leader whose instincts pushed him towards making the most of the more experienced players in his team.
Few argued with his wildcard selections at the time they were made, though I always felt Lee Westwood would be playing under immense pressure having failed to qualify automatically.
In his 10th Ryder Cup, the Englishman did not add to his extraordinary tally of 23 points, which leaves him behind only Colin Montgomerie (23.5), Bernhard Langer (24) and Sir Nick Faldo (25) in the all-time European list.
Westwood's putting capitulation late in the Saturday afternoon fourballs proved a pivotal moment. It was sad to see from someone who has been at the heart of so much European success.
This felt as though it was one Ryder Cup too many for Westwood. Fellow wildcard Martin Kaymer was also disappointing, his lone point coming in a singles match against Matt Kuchar that came too late to affect the overall outcome.

With hindsight, Clarke should have kept together the irrepressible Spaniards Sergio Garcia and Rafa Cabrera Bello on Saturday afternoon.
But at the point he had to submit his pairings, they were four down to Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed.
That is why Cabrera Bello was benched. However, he and Garcia were playing well despite the large deficit in a match they ultimately halved. Had Clarke kept the Spanish duo together, those pivotal Saturday fourballs might have maintained European momentum.
The Northern Irishman should also have made more use of Chris Wood, Matthew Fitzpatrick and Andy Sullivan.
Wood was outstanding in his one foursomes with Justin Rose, Fitzpatrick was given little chance to shine and Sullivan sat out until the singles after defeat with Rory McIlroy in Friday's opening foursomes.
Such sparing use of the English rookies reinforced the notion they needed to be protected. Yet look at the way Thomas Pieters responded to being asked to play all five matches. The Belgian wildcard collected four points, a record on a European debut.
Of course, it is easy to make these calls after the event and overall Clarke did a decent job as captain.
In the build-up to the match, his dignified and decisive response to the ill-timed and ill-advised article on US fan behaviour by Danny Willett's brother Peter helped limit the damage.
There were a few Americans in the crowd who lived down to PJ Willett's assessment - several "basement-dwelling irritants" among the huge galleries that swarmed over Hazeltine.
But the insults that flew in the direction of European stars such as McIlroy, Garcia and, of course, PJ's Masters-winning sibling were largely isolated incidents.
For the most part, the home support was passionately raucous and generated the most intense atmosphere I have experienced on a golf course. When you have such large numbers of people whipped into such a frenzy, there will always be a few who will take it too far.
It goes with the territory, but to have golf played and showcased in such an extraordinarily passionate environment can only be good for the growth of the game.

America's triumph will heighten the sense of anticipation for the next Ryder Cup, in Paris in 2018.
Many of Europe's team in Minnesota will retain their places and will be stronger for this experience. The next skipper - probably Thomas Bjorn - is unlikely to have nearly as many debutants.
The US, meanwhile, have set their own blueprint for success.
"We need to build on this," said Mickelson. "Otherwise, it's all for nought. We created a very solid foundation this year.
"With the input that Davis Love had, and each vice-captain - Tom Lehman, Jim Furyk, Steve Stricker, Tiger Woods and Bubba Watson; all brought integral parts to the success of this foundation, and it's important we build on that.
"For us to go to Europe and try to win the cup is a whole different feat.
"That's going to require a whole different level of play, of solidarity, of fortitude and we are going to have to build on this if we want to try to retain the cup."
And with that, his captain popped the champagne bottle and Mickelson shut up, a happy man.
"I do not want, nor will I accept the Republican nomination," he said.
Mr Ryan's name was floated as a late contender if there is a contested convention in July, as doubts persist over the strength of the candidates.
If none of Donald Trump, John Kasich and Ted Cruz can win 1,237 delegates, the convention will be contested.
The state-by-state primary contests, which come to New York next week, determine the number of delegates pledged to a particular candidate.
Mr Trump is still well ahead in the number of delegates accumulated but may fall short of the magic number required.
In 1886 former civil war general William Sherman set the gold standard for disavowing interest in serving as US president. "I will not accept if nominated and will not serve if elected," he bluntly stated.
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan may not reach Shermanesque levels of certainty with Tuesday's statement, but the move should put the latest round of rampant speculation and rumour-mongering to rest.
The Ryan presidential boomlet was largely a result of growing desperation among Republicans who see a presidential ticket headed by the epically unpopular Donald Trump as an unmitigated disaster and by absolutist Ted Cruz as only a slightly mitigated disaster.
Mr Ryan won't be their establishment-friendly "white knight", however, and there are few others out there with the stature to pull off such an unlikely convention coup.
Former candidate Mitt Romney? Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker? At this point, anyone other than Mr Cruz or Mr Trump - the two men who have slogged through the presidential season and won the votes and delegates - appears to be pure fantasy.
How does a contested convention work?
Five ways Republican bloodbath could end
Profile: House Speaker Paul Ryan
At a contested convention, the delegates are free after the first ballot to back whom they want, opening the door for Texas Senator Mr Cruz or even the third candidate in the race, Mr Kasich.
Some in the party had hoped Mr Ryan would emerge as a candidate at that stage, believing he would be a more effective and less divisive figure than Mr Trump or Mr Cruz.
Speaking at the Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington, Mr Ryan - who ran as Mitt Romney's running mate in the 2012 presidential election - ruled himself out unequivocally.
But some commentators were quick to point out that he said he did not want to run for Speaker of the House last year before eventually accepting the job.
It is believed Mr Kenny will stand down shortly after meeting President Trump in Washington for the annual St Patrick's Day shamrock presentation.
There had been speculation he would face a motion of no confidence at Wednesday night's meeting
However, it now seems unlikely that will happen.
The speculation was that a no confidence vote would result from his handling of a police whistleblower controversy.
The controversy began more than three years ago when two whistleblowers - Sgt Maurice McCabe and the now retired John Wilson - alleged there was widespread corruption with the Republic of Ireland's driving licence penalty points system.
A public inquiry is to be held into whether Sgt McCabe was falsely smeared by senior officers in the An Garda Síochána (police).
There will also be an independent review of police operations.
Last week, the Irish coalition government - which is made up of Fine Gael and the Indepenent Alliance - survived a vote of no confidence in the Irish parliament (Dáil).
The government won the motion by 57 votes to 52 votes and there were 44 abstentions.
Sinn Féin tabled the motion over the handling of false sex crime allegations against the police whistleblower Sgt McCabe.
The party accused the government of covering up "who knew what and when."
The Fine Gael leader was re-elected as taoiseach (prime minister) in May 2016, 70 days after a general election which had produced no outright winner. He was the first Fine Gael taoiseach to be re-elected to office after a general election.
Mr Kenny became leader of Fine Gael in 2002 and was first elected taoiseach in 2011.
Festuccia, 36, who first joined Wasps at Adams Park in 2013, left last summer after three seasons with the now Coventry-based Premiership club.
He comes in as cover after injuries to Tom Cruse and Academy hooker George Edgson, while Tommy Taylor was named in England's 34-man Six Nations squad.
But Edd Shervington, who came out of retirement in December, is to leave.
He was brought back as injury cover at hooker on a three-month deal, following a short spell with Bristol, but will return to his free-range egg farming business in south Wales.
"We'd like to thank Edd for coming out of retirement to help us and wish him well when he returns to Wales," said Wasps director of rugby Dai Young. "As we saw, he was needed on the bench against Toulouse due to the injuries we picked up in that area.
"We know Carlo will do a brilliant job for us. He was a very popular member of the squad during his time here and has a good relationship with the players and coaches, as well as an understanding of how we like to play.
"You know exactly what you're going to get, physicality, strong work at the set-piece and a player who will give his all."
Festuccia did not play for Zebre in Saturday's final Champions Cup group game against Wasps, but he did return to the Ricoh Arena in October when Wasps won 82-14 and ran in 12 tries against the Italians.
With the Dons lying 13th and Posh 11th in League One, both sides granted opportunities to youngsters as the end of the season approached.
Right-back Toby Sibbick made his debut for the Londoners, while left-back Lewis Freestone played in his second successive game for the visitors.
The result leaves the two sides comfortably locked in mid-table with Bradford upcoming for Wimbledon and Bristol Rovers next for Peterborough.
In a quiet first half, Marcus Maddison came close but Wimbledon goalkeeper Joe McDonnell did well to hold his bulleted effort.
The home side then had a great chance in the 36th minute, when Lyle Taylor crossed for George Francomb, but Luke McGee kept the winger's header out.
In the second half, Wimbledon had a couple of chances as Taylor and Tyrone Barnett came close.
With six minutes left, Paul Robinson had a glorious opportunity to win it, but his header flew just over the crossbar.
Match report supplied by the Press Association.
Chasing 185 to win after 14 wickets fell before tea, the visitors were bowled out for 164, Worcestershire captain Joe Leach taking 5-62.
Earlier, Northants were bowled out in their first innings for 157.
They then skittled the hosts for 153 with Nathan Buck claiming four wickets, but the target was just out of reach.
Leach, who took over from Daryl Mitchell as skipper this season, finished with match figures of 10-122 as all 40 wickets were taken by fast bowlers and 24 fell on day two.
Worcestershire were indebted to a last-wicket stand of 45 between Ed Barnard (26 not out) and teenager Josh Tongue (15) to make sure they set a tough chase for Northants.
The first innings 50 made by England all-rounder Moeen Ali, who went for a duck in the second innings, was the only half-century in the match.
It was also the first time, in eight attempts, since Moeen first became an England regular in 2015, that Worcestershire have won a Championship game with him in the side.
Worcestershire have now won their opening two County Championship matches, while Northants' run of five straight wins stretching back to last season comes to an end.
Worcestershire captain Joe Leach told BBC Hereford & Worcester:
"It's hard to describe. All the way through the game the pitch has done quite a bit for the bowlers. So wickets falling frequently was inevitable.
"We felt that in setting them 180 we had a better than even chance. Thankfully that's come to fruition,
"It's hard to be disappointed with the batting. Northants bowled well again. The bowling has been high quality all through and it's harsh to put too much blame on the batsmen.
"Daryl Mitchell and Moeen Ali played fantastically on the first morning to give us a foundation in that first innings."
Northants head coach David Ripley told BBC Radio Northampton:
"We are disappointed because we had three opportunities to get ourselves ahead of the game.
"At 50-1 on day one, we should have gone on from that position. Then their last wicket putting 45, That was a lot in the context of the game. Otherwise we would have been chasing 140-odd.
"Then, at 122-5, we believed again that there was an opportunity to go on and win.
"We had chances to put a good bit of daylight between us. But I can't fault our effort. It was a difficult pitch to bat on."

The multi-million-dollar project to bring electricity from neighbouring Turkmenistan had originally been scheduled to go through the predominantly Hazara provinces of Hazarajat and Bamiyan, but was later re-routed to the northern Salang Pass.
The government says the new route is more cost-effective, but Hazara leaders have called for the decision to be reversed.
President Ashraf Ghani has ordered an investigation into the controversy, and a report is due within the next week or so.
The Hazaras - mostly Shia Muslims - make up the third largest group in Afghanistan. They live mainly in the centre of the country.
They complain of persistent discrimination, especially during Taliban rule in the late 1990s, when many of them fled to Pakistan, Iran and Tajikistan.
Hazara leaders are calling on the government to stick to an initial plan to run the power line through the central regions or brace themselves for more protests. Their demands are co-ordinated by a group called the "Enlightening Movement".
Hazara grievances are supported by some representatives of other ethnic groups - particularly the Tajiks - but others accuse them of political opportunism and of trying to use the controversy to shore up their standing among their own supporters.
Those singled out by the media in this respect include the former vice-president, Karim Khalili, Mohammad Mohaqiq - an aide to Chief Executive Officer Abdullah Abdullah - and Herat MP Ahmad Behazda, a rising Hazara politician.
The project, funded by the Asian Development Bank, aims to improve general access to electricity in Afghanistan.
Dubbed TUTAP after the acronym of the names of countries involved - Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan - it will carry power from Central Asia to Afghanistan, with any surplus going on to Pakistan.
President Ghani has insisted that all parts of the country would be treated equally and said a commission, which includes representatives of Hazaras, will now review all decisions to do with the project.
Some commentators think Mr Ghani's move is motivated by his wish to project the idea of national unity ahead of international conferences on Afghanistan in Warsaw and Brussels.
They think that, given that the preliminary work has already been done and contracts awarded, there is little prospect of the decision being reversed, and say the appointment of the commission is just a palliative for Hazara leaders.

Firefighters were called to the Glasgow Wholesale Markets at Blochairn at 03:44 BST on Thursday. Flames were found to be threatening much of the building.
At the height of the fire, more than 70 firefighters were at the scene. They had to tackle a well-established fire on a 32-acre site.
No-one was injured.
By Thursday evening, some vehicular access was allowed to the markets, which supply fresh fruit and vegetables to much of Scotland. The complex also includes the only inland fish market in the country.
Market manager Tom McIntyre told BBC Scotland: "It's been an amazing the team effort, from the emergency services, to the utilities, to the traders themselves.
"People being orderly, behaving themselves, just knuckling down and getting on with it, and because we have had that kind of teamwork we now have the market at 90% operation."
Site owners City Property said nine businesses had been burnt out by the fire but the site traded at nearly full capacity overnight and this morning despite a third of it being cordoned off.
In a statement it said: "Emergency services are still in control of the damaged parts of the site.
"Once this is handed back, City Property will assess the damage and decide upon the best course of action."
After the fire was brought under control, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) deputy assistant chief officer John Joyce said: "What I can tell you is that we've saved a very good proportion of it.
"In fact the site operator are pretty happy with the parts that we have saved because that is the main operational part of the building.
"It's a real shame for those businesses which have been badly affected, but we're working with the businesses and the city council to get the functioning part open as soon as possible."
He said a specialist fire investigation team would attempt to establish the cause of the fire in the coming days.
Douglas Scott, who was in the warehouse when the fire broke out, was back at work on Friday morning.
He told BBC Scotland reporter Aileen Clarke everyone was working together to ensure trading continued.
"We've come through some tough times but this won't stop us from trading, that's for sure," he said.
"We've got a good group of guys, they are all in this morning, they are all here.
"We only have about 10% of produce we would normally have but all our suppliers and customers have been on to say they will support us and be with us the whole way through it."
Trevor Bolton, 78, from Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, is accused of targeting eight boys over 20 years at Carmel College in Oxfordshire.
He has been convicted of 15 counts of indecent assault and six counts of indecency with a child.
The jury has not reached a verdict on one further count of indecent assault and three other sexual offences.
It will return to Oxford Crown Court on Thursday to continue deliberating.
Launching their housing plans, AM Peter Black said the Conservatives and Labour were fighting over "ideological dogma" on the Right to Buy council homes.
He pledged to build 20,000 affordable homes over five years, if the Lib Dems win power in May's assembly election.
Mr Black said the party would make at least 2,500 "rent to own" homes available to first-time buyers.
The Liberal Democrats are also proposing to strengthen the powers of the Residential Property Tribunal into a "housing court", dealing with challenges to rent increases and adjudicating on issues including housing quality and safety.
A shot was fired through the kitchen window of the house at Lakeview Court in the Drumgor area on Wednesday night.
The attack happened at about 22:10 GMT. Four adults and two children were inside the house at the time.
Police have appealed for anyone with any information about the shooting to contact them.
Ulster Unionist MLA Doug Beattie described the attack as "deeply worrying".
"A family home, with children upstairs in bed, was attacked in the hours of darkness," he said.
"We again are seeing the use of firearms on the streets of Craigavon, and we could well have been facing a fatality here this morning."
The DUP's Carla Lockhart said the shooting was a "shocking attack".
The party said more than 5,000 financially vulnerable families could benefit if the scheme was rolled out across the rest of Scotland.
The Healthier Wealthier Children project focuses on advising families on how to maximise their income.
NHS Scotland has been running the scheme since October 2010.
As of September 2014, it had provided assistance leading to more than £9m of financial gain for families, according to the NHS.
Under the scheme, health workers and midwives help families apply for benefits they are entitled to, but do not claim because of a lack of understanding or a hesitancy to approach the benefit authorities.
Scottish Greens health spokeswoman Alison Johnstone said: "The Healthier Wealthier Children project in Glasgow has helped vulnerable families gain an average of over £1,000 and after pushing her in parliament, the health secretary [Shona Robison] has already agreed to roll this out, but we need to start seeing some action now."
She added: "The healthier, wealthier children campaign has been an outstanding success.
"Between its launch in October 2010 and May 2016, a total of just more than 11,000 referrals to money advice services were made across the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde area, with a total annual financial gain of £11.6m.
"Some families gained as much as £3,400, which obviously has a massive impact on their quality of life, so the faster this can be rolled out, the better for Scotland's 5,000 financially vulnerable families."
Health Secretary Shona Robison said: "I very much welcome the contribution that is made by health visitors, midwives and others through the healthier, wealthier children project, which we funded.
"We must ensure that everybody - NHS staff and their partners in income maximisation - sees tackling health inequalities as part of their role.
"I can commit to supporting the roll-out of the project; we can build it in through the workforce plans.
"The multidisciplinary model for primary care with link workers and others lends itself well to tackling health inequalities and to income maximisation." | Manchester United are prepared to lose more than £25m and let goalkeeper David De Gea leave for free next summer rather than give in to Real Madrid.

Spaniard Martinez, 43, was sacked by the Toffees in May after three years in charge at Goodison Park.
He succeeds Marc Wilmots, who left his post last month, two weeks after the Euro 2016 quarter-final defeat by Wales.
The vacancy was advertised online by the Belgian Football Association.
It wanted a "strong and open communicator" who has a "proven track record in transmitting tactical and strategic knowledge" to top players.
In a statement, the Belgian FA said it was "delighted and proud to have found a coach at this level so quickly".
Martinez will hold a news conference at 11:30 BST on Thursday and his first match is against Spain on 1 September.
At Everton, Martinez managed Belgium internationals Marouane Fellaini, Romelu Lukaku and Kevin Mirallas.
Ernest Goult, 72, was found guilty of a racially aggravated public order offence following Middlesbrough and Blackburn Rovers' game in 2014.
However, he claimed the gesture meant "the pits" or "smelly".
An appeal panel at Teesside Crown Court said they could not be sure the gesture was racist.
Blackburn players Lee Williamson and Markus Olsson and Aston Villa striker Rudy Gestede, who was at the club at the time, gave evidence against Mr Goult.
Mr Williamson said he noticed the "pathetic" 72-year-old as he was walking over to the Blackburn supporters, who were seated in the away section of the Teesside club's Riverside Stadium, while Mr Gestede said he was "shocked" to see the gesture.
Mr Olsson said the French forward had got angry as a result.
Representing Mr Goult, Giles Grant said the one-armed gesture was derogatory but meant "the pits" or "smelly", adding that a monkey gesture would usually be accompanied by facial expressions and an "oo-oo" noise.
Giving evidence, Mr Goult denied he held "negative or poor views" of the footballers because their race.
The retired steel worker said the gesture was used in that industry to express displeasure, often in a noisy environment, a claim which was confirmed by another former worker.
Judge Simon Bourne-Arton, who heard the appeal alongside two magistrates, said the players genuinely felt it was a racist gesture, but the appeal panel could not be sure.
He added that while it had been proved that Mr Goult caused alarm and distress, he had not made the typical "utterly objectionable" monkey gesture, where both arms were used along with the "whooping sound of a baboon".
Snapcash is a partnership with payment-processing firm Square, which offers its own stand-alone friend-to-friend payment app called Square Cash.
The service will only be available to Snapchat users in the United States who are over 18 years old.
None of a user's personal financial information will be stored on Snapchat's servers.
Almost immediately, the news of the money-sending feature was met with some raised eyebrows, as Snapchat has struggled with several high profile security breaches.
In May, Snapchat settled with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) over allegations that it misled users over data collection and failed to inform them that their messages could be saved.
The company agreed to be monitored by the FTC for 20 years.
And earlier in the year, in January, at least 4.6m user accounts were compromised by hackers, who posted usernames and phone numbers on the web.
Snapchat was keen to allay concerns over security.
Users who sign up for the service will be creating a Square Cash account.
"We set out to make payments faster and more fun, but we also know that security is essential when you're dealing with money," wrote Snapchat in a blog post announcing the feature.
"Square has a ton of experience in this area and our teams have been hard at work to make Snapcash a great experience for everyone."
Founded in 2011 by the then 23-year-old Evan Spiegel, Snapchat currently has around 100 million monthly active users.
Snapchat is a messaging app that allows the sharing of videos and images that "disappear" after a short period of time, usually just a few seconds.
To use Snapcash, a user enters their banking information into Square Cash's servers.
Then, to send a payment, a Snapchat user types in the dollar amount that they'd like to send in a private message.
The app then recognizes the dollar amount - $10 say - and a green payments button appears, which a user would tap to complete the payment.
The payment system is similar to other mobile payment services, such as Venmo and PayPal.
It is part of Snapchat's broader push to expand beyond its core messaging business by both adding advertising and branching out into live events.
It is understood the coach company involved is based in Lisburn, County Antrim.
The bus reportedly overturned on the A18 (E40) in the Middelkerke area of West Flanders at 09:45 local time (08:45 BST).

Conteh played for Guinean side Ashanti Golden Boys de Siguiri and had received several call-ups to Sierra Leone's squad but was yet to secure a place in the international side's first team.
He was part of the Leone Stars 18-man squad for their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations match against Kenya last month but dropped out the night before the match due to poor health.
It's very sad to wake up and hear news like this. Alhaji was such a great person
"Conteh was not impressive in the last day of training because something was wrong with him," Sierra Leone's coach John Keister told BBC Sport.
"I even told one of my assistants about it. This forced me to drop him from the squad. We'll surely miss him. I always liked him because he was humble and always good to be around the Leone Stars team.
"He was a clever boy and had a goalkeeper's height and good goalkeeping abilities," Keister added.
Some of Sierra Leone's biggest international stars have also been playing tribute to their team-mate.
"It's very sad to wake up and hear news like this," said former Norwich city and Middlesborough striker Kei Kamara.
"Alhaji was such a great person; being a college graduate and a footballer is a hard thing to do and he was able to accomplish that. My prayers to his family," Kamara added.
Leone Stars skipper Umaru Bangura spoke of his shock at hearing the news of Conteh's death.
"We've lost a good goalkeeper. We were with him in camp last month when preparing for our match against Kenya. We'll miss him. Rest in peace Conteh," said Bangura.
Turkey based midfielder Alfred Sankoh also paid tribute to the 25-year-old.
"Rest in peace brother. God knows best but this is so scary after a month when I was with you in the Leone Stars camp."
Former Leone Stars captain Mohamed Kallon, who brought Conteh to his club FC Kallon some years ago, described the goalkeeper as a "great guy with lots of ambition."
"He graduated from college and he was working whilst playing for FC kallon," said Mohamed Kallon.
"He was a talented goalkeeper and it is a great loss for Sierra Leone. May his soul rest in Peace. We love him but Allah loves him most."
Conteh, who is yet to be buried, was one of few educated Sierra Leonean players with a degree having graduated from Fourah Bay college at the University of Sierra Leone.
He played for three Premier league clubs in Sierra Leone - East End Lions, Kallon FC and Diamond Stars of Kono - as well as two clubs in Guinea, Fello Star de Labè and Ashanti Golden Boys de Siguiri.
Stephen Hunt, 38, from Bury, was unlawfully killed in the fire at a salon in the Northern Quarter in 2013.
His mother and stepfather insist the decision by the Crown Prosecution Service "sends out the wrong message".
An inquest jury found it was probable that two 15-year-old girls deliberately started the fire after smoking cigarettes outside the building.
After a review of the inquest's findings, Greater Manchester Police said "no further action" would be taken.
Mr Hunt's mother Susan Veevers and stepfather Wilf Veevers said they were "disappointed".
In a statement, they said: "We, as a family, have suffered this catastrophic loss, the loss of a hard working, honest, caring family man.
"And having heard the evidence and outcome of the coroner's inquest, it seems the irresponsible actions that caused the tragedy will just go unpunished.
"We firmly believe that this is sending out completely the wrong message."
The two girls were arrested after the blaze and one was charged with arson, but the charges were later dropped.
Fire Brigades Union executive council member Kevin Brown said: "We respect the decision of the CPS and police.
"We hope that lessons will be learnt from Stephen's death to make all firefighters safer across the country."
A statement from Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said: "Following the findings from the coroner's inquest the Crown Prosecution Service and GMP reviewed the case and it has been determined that no further action will be taken."
The five-time Olympic gold medallist, 36, had suggested last month's Ghent Six Day event could be his last, but afterwards said he was "not sure yet" what his plans are.
British Cycling said they were giving Wiggins the "flexibility" to "consider the direction of his future".
He has been named as part of the men's track endurance team.
Wiggins teamed up with Mark Cavendish to win the Ghent Six Day event in Belgium. The pair also won madison gold together at the World Track Championships in London in March.
Wiggins, the 2012 Tour de France champion, also won team pursuit gold at this year's Olympics in Rio - where British cyclists enjoyed great success winning 12 medals, six of them golds.
"In a year which has seen some fantastic performances from the Great Britain Cycling Team, the bar for programme membership remains high and we have a very strong podium programme squad to lead us into the next Olympic cycle," British Cycling's programmes director Andy Harrison said.
London 2012 Olympic team pursuit champion Dani King has returned to the Great Britain cycling team along with fellow road rider Nikki Brammeier.
Six riders - Alice Barnes (road), Emily Kay (track endurance), Danni Khan (track endurance), Ryan Owens (track sprint), Mark Stewart (track endurance) and Oliver Wood (track endurance) - have stepped up from the senior academy programme.
British Cycling's Olympic podium programme is designed to support elite cyclists as they aim to win medals in major competitions, such as world championships and Olympic Games.
Olympic podium programme squad:
BMX: Kyle Evans, Liam Phillips, Tre Whyte
Mountain Bike: Grant Ferguson
Men's Road: Mark Cavendish, Steve Cummings, Jon Dibben, Owain Doull, Alex Dowsett, Andrew Fenn, Chris Froome, Luke Rowe, Ian Stannard, Ben Swift, Simon Yates, Adam Yates, Peter Kennaugh, Geraint Thomas
Women's Road: Lizzie Deignan, Alice Barnes, Hannah Barnes, Nikki Brammeier, Dani King
Men's Track Endurance: Steve Burke, Ed Clancy, Kian Emadi, Chris Latham, Mark Stewart, Andy Tennant, Sir Bradley Wiggins, Oliver Wood
Women's Track Endurance: Katie Archibald, Elinor Barker, Emily Kay, Danni Khan, Joanna Rowsell Shand, Laura Kenny
Men's Track Sprint: Phil Hindes, Jason Kenny, Ryan Owens, Callum Skinner
Women's track sprint: Becky James, Katy Marchant, Victoria Williamson, Shanaze Reade
Output rose by 0.5% from a month earlier, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
The narrower measure of manufacturing output rose 0.4% month-on-month, with February's figure revised up to 0.5%.
Manufacturers' body the EEF said the government must keep funding "important levers of growth", including research, innovation and export support.
"Industrial production had been hit in recent months by declines in oil and gas production," said Martin Beck, senior economic advisor to the EY Item Club.
"However, March broke away from this theme. Growth in industrial output saw the best performance since September and is well above the consensus of flat output.
"The month's rise was driven partly by a surge in oil and gas production, the strongest since February 2014."
Manufacturing output was boosted by pharmaceutical products and preparations, other manufacturing and repair, and rubber and plastics.
On a year-on-year basis, total production output was estimated to have increased by 0.7% in March 2015 compared with March 2014.
There were increases in two of the four main industrial sectors, with manufacturing output being up by 1.1%.
On a quarterly basis, total production output was estimated to have risen by 0.1% between the October to December 2014 period and the January to March 2015 quarter.
The ONS said that manufacturing, the largest component of production, was also estimated to have increased by 0.1% between these periods.
The 47-year-old is the sixth manager to work in Notts' dugout in the 13 months since Shaun Derry was sacked.
Derry returns to Meadow Lane as Cambridge United boss on Saturday.
"We need to make sure we have a good end to the season because we risk alienating ourselves from the fans totally," Cooper said.
Notts, relegated from League One last season, are 17th in the fourth tier after 43 games.
Since Derry's departure before the drop, Notts have had three full-time managers - including Jamie Fullarton, who lasted just 69 days in the job - and three caretaker bosses, with Mick Halsall and Richard Dryden sharing duties following the exit of Ricardo Moniz.
Cooper, who is yet to reach the points tally set to earn a contract extension at Meadow Lane beyond this season, told his players that they will not cost him his job after slumping to a 3-1 defeat at Barnet on Tuesday.
"People say you really shouldn't have a go a players, but I'm speaking from the heart and as a group we need to draw a line under that," Cooper told BBC Radio Nottingham.
Cooper also added that "you would probably have to agree" with Barnet and ex-Notts County boss Martin Allen after he said Magpies players "turned their back on the club" in Tuesday's defeat.
This landmark, called "perihelion", occurred at 03:03 BST on Thursday, when 67P was 186 million km from the Sun - a distance that puts it between the orbits of Earth and Mars.
The Rosetta team has been studying the small, icy world as it warms up.
It has released dust and gas, including a very bright jet seen on 29 July.
Scientists have also seen a "boulder" - a chunk of the comet nucleus - travelling through space above 67P's surface.
Dramatic images of the dust and gas outburst - the brightest jet seen so far by Rosetta's cameras - were released on Tuesday by the European Space Agency, Esa.
"Usually, the jets are quite faint compared to the nucleus and we need to stretch the contrast of the images to make them visible - but this one is brighter than the nucleus," said Carsten Guettler, a member of the Osiris camera team from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Germany.
The material released by comets, as they become more active on approach to the Sun, is the reason for their characteristic tails when they appear in the night sky.
This particular jet, caused by frozen ices turning to gas and pouring out into space, was bright and brief. Three photos, each separated by 18 minutes, capture it appearing and fading.
Rosetta has a ringside seat at the most interesting phase of a comet's life and the pictures are remarkable. The moment that a bright white jet of gas and dust blasts off the surface is like a scene from science fiction.
The sight of a large boulder hurtling away from the surface is glimpse of what could be the beginning of a process of demolition, a reminder that the whole icy world could split in two. And the sequence showing the comet tumbling through space emitting luminous rays is almost exactly like an animation produced by one of the space agencies some years ago.
The fact that the comet is losing enough water to fill ten Olympic-sized swimming pools every day is a stark illustration of the extraordinary scale of change under way so there's the potential for even more dramatic transformation in the coming weeks and months as the Sun's heat takes effect.
This is a mission that made discoveries even as it approached the comet a year ago. Then the landing of the tiny craft Philae last November, chaotic and not exactly according to plan, yielded even more. And whether that popular but now silent robot wakes up again or not, the orbiting mothership Rosetta is in perfect shape to maintain its watch as the next phase of the adventure begins.
Tumultuous activity like this is not necessarily expected to coincide with perihelion, as any temperature increase is gradual - and also lags behind the comet's actual distance from the Sun.
"The solar flux increase between today, tomorrow and the day after is almost immeasurable," said Mark McCaughrean, senior science advisor at Esa.
He likened the comet's perihelion to the summer solstice, which is not the warmest day of summer on Earth.
"On the Earth there's a thermal lag, and that's true on the comet too. It reaches peak sunlight tomorrow, but it probably doesn't reach peak activity.
"We don't know exactly when that peak will be. Nobody's ever done this before."
In a Google Hangout, Holger Sierks, principal investigator for Rosetta's Osiris instrument, said of the "boulder" from 67P: "We found the first resolved chunk leaving the nucleus."
"We do not know what the distance to it is. If it's in the plane of the nucleus, it would be about 40m in size. But we have an indication it might be closer to the spacecraft, which would change the size of the chunk we see in our images to something like 1m."
It was just over a year ago, on 6 August 2014, that Rosetta first arrived at Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. It has spent the intervening months in orbit, manoeuvring itself as close as 30km to the surface of the duck-shaped "icy dirtball".
In the last few months, increasing flows of dust around the comet have forced the probe to retreat.
"We've now moved back to 300-plus km," Prof McCaughrean said.
"Because activity is building up, we are constantly monitoring the navigation cameras, in case they lose lock. And the engineers are pre-emptively moving the spacecraft further away.
"Activity will build up further after perihelion, so we'll probably move even further away - then wait to go back in again. Probably by the end of the year we'll be back down at 10-30km. At that point, we get to see what's changed."
The Philae lander, meanwhile, is still on the comet's surface, but not communicating.
After Rosetta dropped it onto the comet in November 2014, its historic but wayward landing finished in the shade, making it difficult for Philae's solar panels to charge its batteries.
It has only briefly "phoned home" again since, and controllers are unsure if they will ever regain a stable line of communication between Rosetta and its slumbering lander.

Although the sitcom is partly set at California's Caltech, the fund will sponsor studies in science, technology, engineering and maths at rival UCLA.
Series star Mayim Bialik earned a PhD in neuroscience from the university in 2007.
The first 20 scholars will be announced on the Big Bang Theory set this autumn.
"We have all been given a gift with The Big Bang Theory, a show that's not only based in the scientific community, but also enthusiastically supported by that same community - this is our opportunity to give back," said the show's creator, Chuck Lorre.
"In that spirit, our Big Bang family has made a meaningful contribution, and together, we'll share in the support of these future scholars, scientists and leaders."
The programme, which documents the achievements and obsessions of four science nerds and the (mostly) successful women who tolerate them, has just finished its eighth season.
Prof Stephen Hawking, Nobel Prize laureate George Smoot, astronaut Buzz Aldrin, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and theoretical physicist Brian Greene have all made cameos on the show, along with the cast of Star Trek and other sci-fi franchises.
It was nearly derailed by a pay dispute last summer, which saw principal cast members Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting negotiate a reported fee of $1m (£650,000) per episode.
UCLA said the scholarship endowment was the university's first to be created by the cast and crew of a television series.
A total of $4m has been raised to date for the fund, according to scholarship partner Warner Bros TV.
That includes an initial donation from the Chuck Lorre Family Foundation combined with gifts from people associated with the show, including its stars, executive producers and crew, and TV companies CBS and WBTV.
After the initial intake of 20 students for the 2015-16 academic year, the scholarship will support five further students every year in perpetuity.
This is the hope of many financial technology - fintech - start-ups aiming to transform our money management habits.
They think we now trust our mobile technology enough to carry out banking, money transfers, investments and loan applications without ever stepping into a bank branch or writing a cheque.
But are they right?
One start-up is going a step further, bringing many financial services together onto one app so that you have complete visibility of all your cash transactions in one place.
The app, called Bud, has been developed by 26-year-old Ed Maslaveckas. He says: "Many people simply don't have the time or expertise to track down the apps that can help them manage their money.
"So we've created an independent, universal banking app for my generation and anyone else who wants to make their money work harder for them."
As well as several mainstream banks, many other fintech firms have joined Bud, including global "send and spend" money app Revolut, peer-to-peer money transfer firm CurrencyFair, and crowd-investment platform Crowdcube.
The idea is that customers will be able to aggregate all their bank and credit card accounts into one place and switch money between them quickly and easily, as well as make payments to other people at the click of a button.
"The Bud app fits into a wider trend in the market as banks battle it out to make their online services as effortless as possible," says John Rakowski, director of technology strategy at AppDynamics.
"As consumers become increasingly used to intuitive tools such as Siri and Google Now... the idea of using multiple apps to do their banking is becoming outdated."
But Bud has its work cut out to raise awareness, given that its own research suggests nine out of 10 young people have never even heard of fintech.
Anna Laycock, lead strategist at the London-based Finance Innovation Lab, warns that while the market is exploding with innovative ideas, those that succeed will be the ones that people can easily understand and engage with.
"Companies need to be able to articulate how their products help people," she says. "Anything that empowers people with information they can understand and that can help their money management is a positive development."
The advent of smartphones and apps has given the global financial services industry - and tech-based start-ups in particular - the opportunity to change the tone and style traditionally associated with finance, believes Mr Maslaveckas.
"For years financial services were loud and in your face. Companies were always trying to sell something to you that often wasn't to your benefit," he says.
"We're looking at things the other way round and offering people services that will benefit them."
In June, Bank of England governor Mark Carney, said: "Fintech will change the nature of money, shake the foundations of central banking and deliver nothing less than a democratic revolution for all who use financial services."
Smartphone-only banks, like Atom Bank and Mondo, are aimed at younger people comfortable running most of their lives on their phones.
At the moment Mondo only offers prepaid debit cards that can be topped up at cash machines and online, but it hopes to get a full banking licence later this year. This will enable it to offer standing order, direct debit and faster payments features.
Money management apps such as Loot and Moven aim to help consumers set a budget and keep track of their spending.
"You don't need to be a professional finance manager to be really good with money," reckons Mr Maslaveckas.
"You can get control of your finances simply by making the most of the fintech innovations that are already available to you on your phone."
High claims, but is it a reality?
There has certainly been an upturn in the number of new app-based fintech firms attracting serious investment across the world in the last few months.
Payments providers, peer-to-peer lenders, "robo advisers", trading platforms, and foreign exchange companies have all been catching investors' attention.
For instance, global Bitcoin-based payment app Circle raised $60m (£45m) at the end of June in a cash-raising exercise led by Beijing-based venture capital company IDG Capital.
The company has launched a Chinese venture and plans major European expansion.
And the aforementioned banking app Mondo raised £8m, some £1m of which was crowdfunded in just 96 seconds earlier this year.
Globally, consultancy Accenture says fintech investment has risen from about $3.2bn in 2012 to $22.2bn in 2015, with the volume of deals nearly doubling over that period.
Behind all this investment activity is the belief that technology is simplifying and democratising finance, putting control back into the hands of consumers.
Investment incubators, accelerators and innovation hubs are cropping up everywhere to encourage this flourishing sector.
For instance, Spanish banking giant Santander has set up a venture capital fund to back fintech start-ups working in areas that may improve its banking service.
"Any investments we make need to have potential commercial applications for Santander as a bank, and ultimately benefit our customers as the end users," explains Mariano Belinky, managing partner at Santander InnoVentures.
Two fintech projects already up and running as a result of the investment are Ripple and Kabbage.
The former allows banks to transfer international payments securely without the need for a middleman, while Kabbage provides quick online loans of up to £40,000 to small businesses.
But such convenience and flexibility doesn't necessarily come cheap.
A £40,000 Kabbage loan repayable over 10 months - the maximum period allowable - will cost you an additional £11,000. Hi-tech doesn't always mean low-cost.
Banks are having to respond to the fintech challenge with innovations of their own, whether that is voice biometrics or mobile codes for authentication purposes.
Some are experimenting with personalised video to improve customer service, while others are expanding the way they communicate, using social media platforms such as WeChat, Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp.
Others are even moving beyond banking. For example, Poland's award-winning Idea Bank focuses on providing services to entrepreneurs, including a cloud-based space where people can work, meet and collaborate.
All this innovation should mean that, as Mr Carney said: "With time, fintech could mean a more open, more transparent, and more democratic global financial system."

Selby, the world number one, made breaks of 88, 104, 95, 87 and 74 as he swept past Alfie Burden 5-0.
Five-time world champion O'Sullivan matched Selby with a 5-0 win over Gareth Allen, while second-ranked Judd Trump beat Ashley Hugill 5-1.
Six-time World Championship runner-up Jimmy White went down 5-3 to Michael Holt and risks losing his tour card.
The 54-year-old will head to the World Championship qualifying event next week needing a good run to extend his 37-year run on the professional tour.
Selby was delighted with his form as he looks ahead to defending his world title in Sheffield next month.
"I played really well," he told World Snooker.
"Every time I got a chance I punished Alfie. I could have had four centuries. The first frame was big because Alfie had a chance and if he'd won that it might have been different.
"I haven't played as well in the last few weeks as I did in the first half of the season. It would be nice to have a good run this week.
"The World Championship is less than three weeks away and it's exciting looking forward to that but I have to focus on the job in hand here in China."
Scotland's John Higgins was another to impress, the four-time world champion seeing off England's Ian Burns 5-1, while China's Ding Junhui beat Paul Davison 5-0.
Paul Bramley, Martyn Matthews and seven-month-old Julian Pracz-Bandres all died when co-pilot Andreas Lubitz crashed the plane in the French Alps.
Lubitz, 27, was seen by 41 doctors in the years before the crash on 24 March.
Lawyers said a flight school where he trained should have prevented him from qualifying as an airline pilot and are planning legal proceedings against it.
The pilot crashed the aircraft into a mountain after locking the captain out of the cockpit. All 150 people on board Flight 9525 from Barcelona to Dusseldorf were killed.
Clive Garner, head of aviation law at Irwin Mitchell, said the victims' families "deserve answers" as to how he was given clearance to qualify to fly.
"While nothing can bring their loved ones back, they want those who were responsible for allowing Lubitz to qualify as a pilot and fly commercial airliners to be brought to justice.
"To that end we have joined forces with other specialist law firms representing a large number of families from across the world as we prepare a group action against the US flight school in Arizona, who trained Lubitz and deemed him fit to fly airliners for Germanwings."
Seven-month-old Julian, from Manchester, had been travelling with his mother, Spanish-born Marina Bandres Lopez-Belio, 37, at the time of the crash.
Mr Bramley, 28, from Hull, was studying hospitality and hotel management at Cesar Ritz College in Lucerne, Switzerland.
His father Philip has called for more stringent checks on pilots' mental health and said they "should be tested much more regularly".
Mr Matthews, a 50-year-old father-of-two from Wolverhampton, worked as a senior quality manager.
Earlier this month, a report by French investigators revealed Lubitz was urged to attend a psychiatric hospital weeks earlier, but his employer was never alerted.
They believe he brought down the plane deliberately and have called for medical confidentiality to be relaxed for pilots.
Lubitz had been suffering from severe depression, they said, but doctors had been unable to disclose this.
Both Germanwings and its parent company Lufthansa have previously said Lubitz had passed all tests of fitness to fly.
Lufthansa has also acknowledged it knew the co-pilot had suffered from severe depression in 2009 while training for his pilot's licence.
Hibs had been the more impressive team, and led the game after Dominique Malonga's first-half effort.
Even after Callum Paterson was sent off in the 79th minute, Hearts kept pressing Hibs back.
That resolve paid off when Ozturk, with the game deep into injury time, rifled in a 40-yard shot that hit the underside of the bar on its way in.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Hibs set out to be bold and self-assured against the team that has led the league all season and seemed capable of dominating the Championship.
The Edinburgh derby has tended to rob Hibs of their self-esteem, however, Hearts having been on top for much of the past decade.
Even recent form would have nagged at the Easter Road side, the visitors having won five of the last six encounters.
In blustery conditions, it was the home side who were more sprightly and assertive.
Hearts might have felt that their powerful resilience - a feature of their commanding start to the season - would belittle the best of Hibs, but the visitors also lacked fluency in attack.
Those characteristics allowed Hibs to sketch the most inventive and hopeful patterns into the play, although the game was mostly rugged.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Passages of possession tended to be brief and hurried, but in Scott Allan and Dylan McGeouch they had players who could be artful in midfield, both in the way they moved into space and the way they carried the ball forward.
The state of the game was concerning to Hibs fans as much as it was heartening.
Their team has often impressed during these fixtures, but failed to capitalise and then seen Hearts take advantage.
There was a familiar moment of alarm, then, when Soufian El Hassnaoui found himself through on goal, but his shot was straight at Hibs goalkeeper Mark Oxley.
Hibs were unbowed, though, and when an Allan corner was headed goalward by Liam Fontaine, the ball was parried by keeper Neil Alexander. A scramble ensued, with Jason Cummings having a shot blocked before Malonga lashed the ball high into the net.
Allan remained central in the second half, delivering two crosses that Malonga headed wide.
The midfielder also went on a surging run towards the penalty area that Prince Buaben stopped on the edge of the box with a crude trip.
Hearts were best served by their width, with substitute Jamie Walker sending in one cross that Oxley fumbled, then Paterson's delivery was mis-kicked by Billy King.
Given Hibs' recent history in this fixture, a growing nervousness with the slender lead was inevitable.
They sat ever deeper, but Paterson's rashness as he leapt off the ground to lunge at Malonga was a respite.
With Hearts reduced to 10 men, Hibs ought to have seen the game out, but Ozturk's glorious strike was unstoppable, and a cruel blow to Hibs.
New legislation proposed by Australia's Coalition government, expected to be introduced within weeks, will enable the government to remove Australian citizenship from dual nationals who take up arms or support militant groups at home or overseas.
More than 100 Australians are thought to be fighting with Islamic State and other extremists in Iraq and Syria, and the government in Canberra estimates that up to half are dual citizens.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott insists tough measures are needed to protect the country from those who are trying "to destroy us".
Mr Abbott has also suggested that some sole Australian nationals involved in terrorism could lose their citizenship.
That controversial proposal would allow the country's immigration minister to strip citizenship from second-generation migrants if they could be eligible for passports from another country.
The idea is part of a broader official discussion paper that has raised the ire of some senior cabinet ministers reportedly worried about how sole citizens will be affected, even though that could include one of Australia's most wanted men, Khaled Sharrouf.
Sharrouf, a petty Sydney criminal with Lebanese heritage, dragged his family into the war in Syria in 2013.
Ten years ago, Sharrouf was jailed for his part in one of the biggest terrorism conspiracies Australia has ever seen, but a spell in prison did nothing to quell his radicalism.
Last year, he posted a photograph on social media of his seven-year-old son holding up a severed head in Syria.
There are now reports his Muslim-convert wife, Tara Nettleton, wants to flee Syria and bring her five children back to Australia.
So how might Mr Abbott's passport purge apply to this family?
"Khaled Sharrouf is the poster boy for the bad jihadi," explains Prof Greg Barton, an expert in international relations and politics at Monash University.
"When you think of people you would want to deny citizenship and not come back to Australia then he fits the bill perfectly," says Prof Barton.
"There are, no doubt, some people we would be glad not to see come back and it might be useful in some of those cases to not have to deal with them in the Australian court system and our prisons, but it is not a silver bullet," he says.
Tara Nettleton could face serious charges of supporting terrorism if she returns home, but Prof Barton told the BBC that although she might lose her liberty, it was unlikely she would become a persona non grata in her own country.
"If she were to come back she would certainly face prosecution and time in jail," he says.
"I don't think in her case there would be any easy or justifiable way of revoking her Australian citizenship."
It is understood that Ms Nettleton has sole Australia citizenship, so revoking those rights would render her stateless, which is prohibited by international law because it would leave her with nowhere to go.
Then there is the vexed question of her children.
Dr Clark Jones, a visiting fellow at Canberra's Australian National University specialising in radicalisation and terrorism, believes the children should not be punished for the sins of their parents.
"My primary concern is for the kids," Dr Jones told the BBC.
"They need to be taken out of this conflict zone and I'm particularly concerned for their safety," he says.
"Those kids have gone through all sorts of hardship and quite likely could be facing mental health issues.
"We need to get them back into Australia as quickly as possible and if we withdraw citizenship then the chances of them being able to return becomes more and more unlikely."
Under current legislation, dual nationals can lose their Australian citizenship if they fight for another country that is at war with Australia.
The forfeit is automatic, and there is no provision for ministerial intervention, as there would be under the proposed changes, which would mirror elements adopted in the UK.
Research fellow at the University of New South Wales, Sangeetha Pillai, says it seems more in line with the broad discretion that the UK Home Secretary has "than the more curtailed executive discretion in other countries such as Canada or France where an actual finding of criminal guilt is necessary before citizenship stripping becomes a possibility".
"While the trigger for losing citizenship will be the commission of an offence, that won't need to be proved in a court to a criminal standard," she says.
"It will be to the immigration minister's satisfaction, and that is quite concerning to me," she says.
There is unease, too, in Australia's Muslim community.
Kuranda Seyit, the secretary of the Islamic Council of Victoria, says the targets of the new laws would invariably be Muslims.
"It will cause more division in our community," Mr Seyit says.
"The Muslim community is under pressure. It already feels isolated and it is going to be further isolated by these Draconian measures."
The designation of the protected site at Horse Tail Sand, in the Solent, near Portsmouth, has been made by English Heritage.
Also included are Sandycombe Lodge, in Richmond, London, and The Orangery at Blithfield Hall, Staffordshire.
HMS Invincible ran aground in 1798 after its rudder became jammed.
It was launched in 1744 as a third rate 74-gun French warship, but was captured by the British Navy at the first Battle of Finisterre in 1747.

English Heritage described the wreck site as "unusual" and said it had been placed on the Heritage at Risk Register 2013 because archaeological monitoring had revealed significant parts of the site are becoming exposed due to lowering seabed levels.
Dan Pascoe, of Pascoe Archaeology Services, has been commissioned by English Heritage to record exposed areas and add them to the existing site plans before they deteriorate further.
The marine archaeologist said he had already discovered lids from gunpowder barrels and musket flints at the site of the wrecked 15m-long (50ft) ship.
"It's important that we record fragile and vulnerable artefacts of the ship when they become exposed so we can save it forever - preservation through record," he said.
In total seven Royal Navy warships have been named HMS Invincible - the last being the aircraft carrier which was scrapped in Turkey, in 2011.
The Heritage at risk register is an annual survey of Grade I and II* buildings, scheduled monuments, landscapes, battlefields, conservation areas and wreck sites.
Judge, 23, will move from fellow Championship club Bedford Blues and returns to Cornwall after playing for Launceston from the age of eight.
A member of Cornwall's County Championship-winning side in 2015 and 2016, he also spent a season playing at Plymouth Albion in National One.
"Having grown up in Cornwall, this is an exciting opportunity," Judge said.
The Unison union said its members wanted additional payments for undertaking tasks which were dirty, unpleasant, involved regularly working outside or heavy lifting.
The staff involved in the action are employed by Cordia - an arms-length body of Glasgow City Council.
All schools were open on Monday but some breakfast clubs were cancelled.
The dispute centres on a claim by janitors for a Working Context and Demands Payment, which can range from £500 to £1,000 annually.
The union has accused Cordia of "using spurious arguments to justify not making this payment" to its members.
Unison Glasgow branch officer Sam Macartney said: "Unison is very clear that school janitors meet the criteria to be awarded this payment.
"Our members have been left with no option other than to take this action as both Cordia and the council are wrong and just not listening to our members.
"The council needs to get round the table with Unison and agree a negotiated settlement of our members' legitimate claim."
Janitors on strike turned up at the City Chambers on Monday "with buckets, mops and brooms" to stage a demonstration. Another will be held on Tuesday.
Picket lines were organised on Monday morning with a repeat planned for Wednesday.
The union said teachers, support workers, cleaners and catering staff had been advised by their unions not to undertake the duties of janitors in their absence.
A council spokesman said: "Some of the city's janitors took part in industrial action in a number of our primary, Additional Support for Learning schools and nurseries today, with similar action planned for Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.
"This action unfortunately meant that Breakfast Clubs in affected schools had to be cancelled."
The business secretary said 1.2 million small and medium firms were involved in exporting to the EU, saying they would be "on the front line" if the UK votes for an exit on 23 June.
But Leave campaigners said Mr Javid had "changed his mind" on the EU.
Vote Leave said the government's figures were "highly questionable" and that EU "red tape" damaged businesses.
In a speech in Birmingham, Mr Javid claimed EU regulation was "getting lighter" because of UK lobbying and predicted a "screeching" return of tariffs in the event of an exit.
He appeared alongside Piers Linney of TV show Dragons' Den, after seven past and present members of the show's panel backed a vote to stay in the EU.
How trade and the UK's economy are affected by membership of the EU.
With the UK in the EU, Mr Javid said, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were able to export to the world's largest market, "right on our doorstep".
He warned of an "economic shock" that would come if there is a vote to leave.
"Small businesses are the backbone of the economy," he said.
"Let's not break that backbone by taking a leap in the dark."
Leave campaigners have said small businesses are more sympathetic to their cause than large multinationals, due in part to the effect of "red tape" emanating from Brussels.
Mr Javid said it was "myth" that only large firms wanted to remain, adding that 1.2 million SMEs were "involved in exports to the European Union" including 400,000 who sell directly to the EU.
Louise Stewart, of the Federation of Small Businesses, said members of her organisation were divided on EU membership and the organisation was remaining neutral in the debate.
She told BBC Radio 4's Today programme FSB members "really want more information".
"We might be talking about it every day in the main, but there seems to be more heat than light in some cases."
Vote Leave's John Longworth, the former head of the British Chambers of Commerce, pointed to Mr Javid's previous criticism of the EU, suggesting his backing for Remain was motivated by his "political career".
"EU rules damage all British businesses, and smaller businesses in particular - and hold us back from trading freely with the rest of the world," he said.
While 6% of British firms export to the EU, he said, "100% are caught up in red tape and costs from Brussels".
A 17-year-old boy has been arrested. A 14-year-old arrested earlier was released without charge.
A spokesperson for the fire service said it was alerted to the blaze at Dawn Paper's premises on Donore Road at around 22:00 local time on Saturday.
The fire service said it expected to have crews at the site for the rest of the day.
The roof of the building has collapsed and what remains of it is expected to smoulder for a number of days.
At one point during the night 12 units of the fire brigade tackled the blaze.
There are no reports of any casualties.
Dawn Paper was established in 1988 and the company manufactures industrial cleaning paper and domestic tissue paper products for the Irish market.
Scotland's scores for maths, reading and science all declined in the latest set of Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa) figures.
It was the first time since the tests began in 2000 that all three subject areas were classed as "average", with none "above average".
Education Secretary John Swinney said the results made uncomfortable reading.
He said they showed that "radical reform" was needed if Scotland's education system was to become world-class again.
Opposition parties said the results showed a "decade of educational failure" under the SNP government, with First Minister Nicola Sturgeon previously saying she wanted to be judged on her record on education.
Teachers called for a "period of stability" following the results, which saw Scotland fall from "above average" in reading and science to "average".
The Pisa testing system was set up in 2000 among countries from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Half a million 15-year-olds took part in the latest round of tests, which cover literacy, numeracy and science, in March 2015.
Scotland's scores in the latest tests were lower in all three areas than they had been in any previous Pisa survey, with the country's ranking for science dropping from "above average" to "average", while maths and reading both remained "average".
In 2000, when Scotland first took part in the OECD survey of 15-year-olds, its performance in reading, science and maths were all above average.
While Scotland remains within the statistical average for the OECD, its relative position against some overseas countries and some other UK administrations has slipped, with the number of countries recording better scores in each subject increasing and the number recording worse scores falling.
In maths, only five countries had better scores in 2000, and 21 countries had worse.
By 2015, 14 countries recorded better results, while the number with worse scores was down to 10.
The comparison with other parts of the UK suggest that English pupils were "significantly above" Scots in science while Welsh schools performed "significantly below Scotland" in each topic.
For science, the results showed 12 countries doing better than Scotland, including England, Australia, Estonia, Finland and Slovenia.
In mathematics, Estonia, Finland and Slovenia again scored above Scotland, as did Norway, Belgium, Ireland and Poland.
There were also 13 countries with higher scores in reading, including Estonia, Poland and Slovenia, as well as Ireland, Finland and Norway.
Countries such as Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Norway maintained their performance but moved ahead of Scotland as its score declined.
Meanwhile, Slovenia saw a 24-point improvement over the three years, going from below Scotland to being ranked above it.
Mr Swinney, who made a ministerial statement at Holyrood on the results, pledged an "unwavering focus on improvement".
He said: "There is great strength in Scottish education but these results underline the case for radical reform of Scotland's education system.
"The results undoubtedly make uncomfortable reading but they contain a plain message: we must continue to make the changes that are necessary to strengthen Scottish education."
The education secretary told MSPs that the poverty-related attainment gap was a "complex challenge".
He pointed out that the latest Pisa survey was carried out in March 2015, saying that a "range of actions" had been taken since to improve education.
Mr Swinney said there was a "relentless drive to reduce red tape and ensure teachers are freed up to teach", pointing to changes to National Qualifications to address the burden of over-assessment on young people and teachers.
He said that he had spoken with his international panel of advisors, who did not describe an education system in crisis but the need to "remain focused on taking forward the careful plans" already in place.
And he also said some responsibility fell on local authorities, which he said had been fairly treated in government budgets, saying he had actually prevented many Labour-run councils from reducing teacher numbers.
Recent years have seen the Curriculum for Excellence introduced in Scottish schools, and the country's qualifications system overhauled.
Scottish Secondary Teachers Association president Euan Duncan said the changes had "added tremendously to the pressure on teachers and youngsters".
He said: "Furthermore, reductions in support staff and shortages of supply teachers have taken teachers away from their core function.
"There is no magic solution to improving the downward Pisa performance trend, but good starting points would be to provide teachers with very clear aims and sufficient resources with which to achieve them."
But Scotland's largest teaching union, the EIS, warned against making "snap judgements" based on the Pisa figures, and said it was important to instead "analyse the full range of data it makes available".
Its general secretary, Larry Flanagan, added: "The need for continuing investment in education is made clear, however, by this report.
"The Scottish government must ensure that schools are properly resourced and supported if we are to achieve the goals of tackling the poverty-related attainment gap and providing all young people with the chance to reach their potential."
Scotland is not a star pupil. The country's performance in the PISA assessments is distinctly average. A teacher writing a report card could easily say: "Disappointing performance. Could do better."
The Pisa figures are not the last word on education. They are not a definitive measure. There are many critics. But because they are the nearest thing there is to a fair way of comparing the education systems of different countries they have a huge influence on policy and political debate.
One reason they make for such uncomfortable reading for the Scottish government, is that it wants to be judged by its success on education. It makes much of its commitment to raise attainment and narrow the gap between how well youngsters from relatively rich and poor areas do at school.

Scottish Conservative education spokesman Liz Smith said the "shocking statistics" were a "damning indictment of a decade of failure under the SNP".
She added: "The fact that the SNP has been so obsessed with independence has meant that it has taken its eye completely off the ball when it comes to education.
"Nicola Sturgeon says she wants to be judged by her performance on education but parents will rightly wonder what on earth her Scottish government has been doing for the last 10 years.
"Children going through our schools under the SNP are finishing their school careers less equipped in basic skills and performing less well than their counterparts elsewhere in the UK, and in a host of other countries across the world."
Scottish Labour's education spokesman Iain Gray said: "SNP ministers should be ashamed of these results. For all their warm words about making education a priority we are seeing performance going backwards as Scotland drops down international league tables."
Mr Gray asked Mr Swinney to apologise for the figures and called on Finance Secretary Derek Mackay to protect council funding in his forthcoming budget. Mr Swinney said the statistics were "unacceptable and must be improved upon", but insisted there had been "strong, fair settlements for local authorities" under the SNP.
Ross Greer of the Scottish Greens said: "This drop in performance is clearly a concern. We need to listen to teachers and invest in what they know will make a difference - namely more staff and a simplified workload following years of changes, so that they have more time to connect with their students."
And Tavish Scott of the Lib Dems said there was "no escaping the fact that surveys show the SNP have overseen a worrying decline in our education system". He asked if there would be a reduction in the 20,000 pages of guidance given to teachers, leading Mr Swinney to say that there would be a "huge reduction in the volume of paperwork".
Meanwhile Keir Bloomer, of think tank Reform Scotland and chair of the Commission on School Reform, said the education system was now in urgent need of action.
He said: "It is no longer credible to describe Scotland's education system as world leading.
"There is a critical and urgent need to examine how Scottish education is run, and the Scottish government's stated intention to empower teachers, parents and schools must be matched by action."
McDonald signed a new one-year deal to remain at Fir Park earlier this month after scoring 14 goals last season.
"Scott is an extremely important part of our plans as we believe he is one of the very best strikers in the country," said Motherwell manager Mark McGhee.
"It's obvious Scott has a deep affinity for the club and wants to try to help us in this new season."
McDonald moved to Fir Park for a second time in February 2015 after spells in England with Middlesbrough and Millwall. His first stint at Motherwell was followed by a successful spell at Celtic, where he won a league title and a League Cup.
McGhee says the club were surprised to receive the bid for the striker given he only signed a new deal three weeks ago.
"Alan Burrows (Motherwell CEO) and I chatted with the player for some time on Wednesday and there was a lot of common ground," McGhee added in a statement on the club's website.
"The actual interest came fairly out the blue and the prospect of a return home is obviously intriguing for anyone in that scenario, however, it was also clear he still feels there is unfinished business in the SPFL, which was great for us.
"That meant, when an official did eventually come in during the night, it was a fairly simple one for us to politely reject."
Doctors are to take part in the first ever stoppages involving emergency care on Tuesday and Wednesday.
It will see medics walk out of A&E, intensive care and maternity units.
But the General Medical Council has now issued advice saying striking may not be the "right option" in some places.
And it urged those considering taking action to take "reasonable steps to satisfy themselves" that patients would be safe.
The GMC said it had not received any warnings from hospitals, but was making the judgement based on the scale of the walkouts being planned.
There has been concern raised by some that smaller hospitals in particular may find it difficult to cope during the stoppages.
NHS England is currently checking with NHS trusts that they have adequate contingency plans in place and is due to meet leaders at the British Medical Association on Thursday to discuss whether junior doctors are needed to come in anywhere.
There is an agreed escalation procedure in place which allows NHS bosses to ask the BMA to allow its representatives to request doctors do not strike if needed.
Plans will also be in place on the day to allow doctors to be called in if there is a major incident.
There have been four strikes in the contract dispute since the start of the year.
On each occasion, junior doctors have provided emergency cover.
But next week's walkouts - taking place from 08:00 BST to 17:00 BST on both days - will involve all services. Although consultants, nurses and midwives will still be working.
This has never happened before in the history of the NHS and comes after the government announced it would be imposing a new contract on doctors from the summer.
GMC chief executive Niall Dickson said he recognised there was "anger and frustration" in the profession, but added it was not up to the GMC to comment on the rights and wrongs of the dispute.
But he said: "For every doctor affected these are difficult and worrying times and feelings are understandably running high.
"We know all doctors will want to do their utmost to reduce the risk of harm to patients and this advice is designed to help them achieve that."
NHS England said it was talking to hospitals about the plans they were putting in place.

Women Help Women, a Netherlands-based group, wants to provide guidance for American women who may have obtained abortion pills illegally.
Abortion is legal in the US, but more recently several Republican states have passed stringent abortion laws.
Some US women have voiced concerns that their abortion rights could be revoked.
"There is a lot of fear and worry that, with the current administration and restrictions that are to the enormous disadvantage of girls and women, that access to clinical care might further diminish," Kinga Jelinska, the group's executive director, told the Washington Post.
Women Help Women already advises women around the world on how to take mifepristone, which blocks pregnancy development, and misoprostol, which induces miscarriage.
The two drugs, approved by the Food and Drug Administration, are used in combination until the 10th week of pregnancy, but must be administered by a health care clinician.
On Thursday, the group launched a new section called Self-Managed Abortions; Safe and Supported (SASS), which features counsellors who can provide support in real-time and make sure that self-induced abortions are "medically and legally safe as possible", according to the website.
What is Roe v Wade?
'Men making decisions about women's bodies'
The counsellors, who are trained by medical professionals, will also direct women to clinics or foundations that can help them pay for an abortion at a clinic.
The group, however, will not provide abortion drugs to women in the US.
Anti-abortion activists argue that using the drug without medical supervision can lead to serious complications.
Kristi Hamrick, a spokeswoman for anti-abortion group Americans United for Life, said these type of drugs could "result in serious injury" if mishandled.
But Women Help Women contends American women have long been performing abortions themselves and its site serves as a support system to help minimise the risk of complications.
Some US states have made it illegal to self-induce abortion without medical supervision, which underscores legal questions about the website in an increasingly anti-abortion landscape.
In fact, a Pennsylvania woman went to jail in 2014 for obtaining abortion pills online for her daughter.
More recently, President Donald Trump signed two anti-abortion measures, including one aimed at rolling back federal funding for the US women's group Planned Parenthood, which provides abortions.
In January, he signed an executive order to ban federal money from going to international aid groups which perform or provide information on abortions.
The centrist candidate, 39, defeated the far right's Marine Le Pen, winning 66.1% of the vote to her 33.9%.
Acknowledging his victory, Mr Macron told supporters he wanted to ensure Le Pen voters "no longer have a reason to vote for an extremist position".
The sense of relief among European Union leaders has been palpable.

Mr Macron was elected on a pro-EU platform, while Ms Le Pen by contrast threatened to pull out of the single currency and hold an in/out referendum on France's membership of the EU.
In a speech to jubilant supporters, Mr Macron said: "Tonight you won, France won. Everyone told us it was impossible, but they don't know France."
His win makes him France's youngest president and overturns the decades-long dominance of France's two main political parties.
But huge challenges remain, with a third of those who voted choosing Ms Le Pen, 48, and even more abstaining or casting a blank ballot.
Mr Macron said he had heard "the rage, anxiety and doubt that a lot of you have expressed", vowing to spend his five years in office "fighting the forces of division that undermine France".
He will be sworn in on Sunday, outgoing President François Hollande said.
France's ambitious man 'on the move'
EU press relief at Macron win
Emmanuel Macron inherits one of the most powerful positions in Europe, and all the symbolism that comes with it.
This morning at the Arc de Triomphe, he showed no sign of being awed by his new job.
He walked alongside the outgoing President François Hollande as the two laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
The two then shook hands with veterans. Mr Macron appeared to take longer to make his way through one receiving line, stopping to talk to elderly men, leaving Mr Hollande to wait for him at the end.
Emmanuel Macron now becomes France's youngest leader since Napoleon Bonaparte, whose battles are commemorated at the Arc de Triomphe. The new president will hope that his own fights are less bloody.
Most of those running the EU were breathing a sigh of relief, given Ms Le Pen's policies and last year's Brexit vote.
European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker tweeted "happy that the French chose a European future" while German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Mr Macron "carries the hopes of millions of French people, and of many people in Germany and the whole of Europe".
US President Donald Trump, who previously praised Ms Le Pen, tweeted his congratulations to Mr Macron for the "big win" and said he looked forward to working with him.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said amid the "growing threat of terrorism and violent extremism" it was important to "join forces to ensure international stability and security".
With parliamentary elections in June, he will be campaigning on behalf of his new movement En Marche (On The Move) to get the seats he needs to pursue his legislative agenda.
The grouping, founded just over a year ago, does not yet have a presence in parliament. If he cannot gain a majority he may have to form a coalition.
His campaign pledges included cutting 120,000 public-sector jobs, reducing public spending by €60bn (£50bn; $65bn), and lowering the unemployment rate from its current level of about 10% to below 7%.
He vowed to ease labour laws and give new protections to the self-employed.
She won almost double the tally her father Jean-Marie won in 2002, the last time a far-right candidate made the French presidential run-off.
Although she performed worse than final polls had indicated, her anti-globalisation, anti-immigrant, high-spending manifesto attracted an estimated 11 million votes.
She said the election had shown a division between "patriots and globalists" and called for the emergence of a new political force.
Ms Le Pen said her National Front party needed to renew itself and that she would start the "deep transformation of our movement", vowing to lead it into next month's parliamentary elections.
The increase was stronger than expected, with analysts having forecast volumes to rise by 0.4%.
Sales of clothing, footwear and textiles jumped 5.2% in April from March, the biggest rise for four years.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures also showed sales volumes were up 4.7% from the year before.
The better-than-expected figures led to a strong rise in the pound. Sterling rose by more than a cent against the dollar to above $1.56, as traders saw the figures as a fresh sign of strength in the UK economy.
In addition to the warm weather, analysts said that rising levels of income and consumer confidence were also helping to fuel the rise in sales.
David Tinsley, economist with UBS, said: "Alongside the weather, it is evident that the conditions are in place for solid underlying retail sales growth."
John Hawksworth, chief economist at PwC, said the figures suggested that consumers were continuing to drive the UK's economic recovery, helped by low inflation and rising wages.
However, he cautioned that fierce competition meant that retailers were struggling to increase the value of their sales.
"Despite the strong headline volume growth figures, there are still tough times ahead on the High Street," he said.
The detective, who works in a firearms unit dealing with gang crime, was shot in the shoulder on Thursday afternoon in Hackney.
Sir Bernard said he had shown "great bravery" and that colleagues had described him as "exceptional".
He remains in a stable condition in hospital.
A 31-year-old man was arrested at the scene and a non-police firearm has been recovered.
Sir Bernard commented: "This officer has shown great bravery. His colleagues have described him as 'exceptional' and 'professional'. He has been that and more.
"Our officers confront danger every day. I am proud of all of them and the courage that they show."
A specialist firearms unit and officers from Trident Area Crime Command, which is responsible for tackling gang crime, were conducting an operation in Scriven Street at the time of the shooting.
No-one else was injured.
Witnesses reported seeing police dogs and helicopters and hearing gunfire as police entered Stonebridge Park estate.
Commander Duncan Ball said for operational reasons he could not reveal whether police had fired any shots, but said: "This incident reveals the very real risks our police officers face on a day-to-day basis while protecting the safety of Londoners."
Steve White, chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales, said: "So soon after the tragic death of an officer on Merseyside, this incident once again reminds us of the dangers faced by officers policing in 2015."
Witness David Silvester, 28, who owns an import business, said "The whole road was filled with undercover police. They all burst out of their cars (when the shots went off)."
The civil conflict erupted in December 2013 after Mr Kiir accused Mr Machar of plotting a coup.
Since then thousands have died and more than two million have been displaced.
South Sudan is the world's youngest country and one of the least developed. It split from the North in 2011.
Amid a threat of sanctions from the UN, the two sides signed a peace deal in August last year.
Fighting was supposed to stop immediately but there have been frequent violations.
The men also agreed to share out ministerial positions, and a presidential decree read out on state television confirmed Mr Machar's reappointment.
It returns the government to where it was before the war broke out.
Mr Machar, who is not currently in South Sudan, has welcomed the move, telling the BBC he could return within three weeks if security arrangements were implemented.
"I'm eager to ensure that peace returns to the country, political stability is maintained, the permanent peace is respected - I'm confident we can do this," he said.
Pressure will now grow for the men to form a transitional government - another part of the peace agreement, says the BBC's James Copnall, a former Sudan correspondent.
The UN and African Union have accused both sides of carrying out atrocities - last month an AU-backed report alleged that 50 civilians had suffocated after government troops locked them in a shipping container.
An area south of Felixstowe Pier in Suffolk has been sealed off after a 30ft (9m) female whale washed up on the beach there.
The first whale, a minke calf, was spotted on a mudbank in the River Ore, near Felixstowe, on Saturday afternoon.
Another dead adult whale was seen in the water off Harwich, Essex. Coastal volunteers believe they could be part of a much wider pod.
For whale updates, visit BBC Local Live: Suffolk
John Cresswell, from the Felixstowe Volunteer Coast Patrol Rescue Service, said it was normal for porpoises to wash up on the shore, but not whales.
"This is very sad," he said. "It is such a loss to the ocean life.
"They are such amazing mammals."
He said council officials were planning to call in a special company to dispose of the whale that washed up on the beach, after plans to tow it up the coast and "let nature take its course" were abandoned over fears the carcass could become a hazard. | Former Everton, Wigan and Swansea manager Roberto Martinez has been appointed as the new head coach of Belgium.

Former SNP leader Alex Salmond has secured time on Thursday afternoon to question the UK government over issues raised by a Royal naval submariner.
Able seaman William McNeilly, 25, went on the run after alleging Trident was a "disaster waiting to happen".
He later handed himself in to police. The navy said the fleet operates under the most stringent safety regime
Mr Salmond, the newly-elected MP for Gordon, said the Ministry of Defence must provide detailed answers to the allegations.
Incidents included in Mr McNeilly's report, The Secret Nuclear Threat, varied from complaints about food hygiene to failures in testing whether missiles could safely be launched or not.
He described security passes and bags going unchecked at the Faslane submarine base on the Clyde, alarms being muted "to avoid listening" to them, and stories of fires starting in missile compartments.
Mr McNeilly said he raised these and other concerns through the chain of command on multiple occasions, but that "not once did someone even attempt to make a change".

The high court in Chennai (Madras) threw out a slew of petitions demanding that Perumal Murugan be prosecuted.
"Let the author be resurrected to what he is best at: Write," said the judges.
Murugan gave up writing last year after protests over his novel Madhorubagan. The verdict is being seen by supporters as a victory for freedom of expression.
There was no immediate comment from Murugan.
The court also said that a "settlement" between the novelist and a "peace council" in Tamil Nadu state, where the author agreed to apologise for his novel and withdraw all unsold copies of the book, was not legally binding on him.
Madhorubagan (One Part Woman) is set about a century ago near the author's home town of Tiruchengode in southern India. It is about a childless woman who participates in a sex ritual during a temple festival in order to conceive, a scenario Murugan says was based on historical fact.
Local groups led protests against the book, saying the "fictitious" extramarital sex ritual at the centre of the plot insulted the town, its temple and its women.
Copies of the novel were burnt, residents shut down shops and a petition sought the arrest of the author.
This prompted the author to write a dramatic Facebook post which read: "Perumal Murugan, the writer is dead. As he is no God, he is not going to resurrect himself. He has no faith in rebirth. As an ordinary teacher, he will live as P Murugan. Leave him alone."
He also instructed his publishers not to print and sell his work and promised to compensate them for the unsold copies. He implored his readers to burn his books, and said he would stop attending literary festivals.
Murugan is described by many critics as one of the finest writers in the Tamil language.

Chief executive Margaret Byrne is under pressure to make clear what the club knew and when.
Sunderland Central MP Julie Elliott said the club should explain "why the decision was made to allow him back."

Durham Police said Ms Byrne was told on the day of Johnson's arrest that he had allegedly messaged and kissed the schoolgirl.
The club has not said what was involved in a safeguarding assessment made before he was allowed to play again and whether the club warned him against signing autographs for young fans.
Ms Elliott said: "In the normal world of work, if serious allegations are made in the workplace then people are suspended and, of course, we've got to remember Adam Johnson was suspended by the club when these allegations were made.
"The question for me is more why the decision was made to allow him back."
The former England and Sunderland winger was found guilty of one count of sexual activity with a child, cleared of another and earlier admitted grooming and kissing a 15-year-old schoolgirl after giving her signed shirts.
A Newcastle employment lawyer says the club could be corporately liable for his crimes.
Robert Gibson, from Samuel Phillips Law Firm, said the club "had a risk" on the basis he was paid to represent, not just play for, the club.
"In what capacity is Mr Johnson employed by Sunderland?" he asked.
"He's not just paid to play football, he's an ambassador, it's a sport entertainment industry, they [players] are told, whenever they are outside the club they have a duty to behave and conduct themselves properly.
"I understand that he was using memorabilia such as football shirts to basically seduce this young lady, so I think Sunderland may have a risk there."
Mr Gibson made the comparison with a legal decision this week that supermarket chain Morrisons was responsible for the criminal actions of its staff.
The decision was based on the "sufficient connection" between the job and the "wrongful conduct", he said.
It was Thomas' fourth penalty in a Scarlets performance that began brightly with Morgan Allen's try.
Steve Shingler added a penalty before Thomas took over kicking duties.
Cornel du Preeze and Alex Toolis tries helped the visitors take the lead, but Scarlets held out after Thomas' final kick as they dropped to fourth in the table.
Leinster's bonus-point 52-0 win over Zebre sent them above Scarlets, while Edinburgh stayed fifth.
Lock David Bulbring made his Scarlets debut after arriving from South Africa while Kirby Myhill started at hooker.
Edinburgh made four changes as wing Damien Hoyland returned and Sam Beard was at centre for the injured Chris Dean.
Anton Bresler and Ben Toolis were a new-look second row for the Scots.
The home side seized the early initiative to build a 13-3 lead by the break. Allen was set free for his try, converted by Shingler before the fly-half added a penalty.
Fowles put Edinburgh on the scoreboard midway through the opening period with his first shot at goal and added a second soon after the break.
Thomas added two more penalties before Edinburgh's fight-back began and Greg Tonks' penalty rewarded Edinburgh's momentum.
Replacement lock Toolis finished off in style out wide and Tonks' conversion put them into the lead with six minutes left.
But Scarlets fought their way back upfield and were awarded a penalty that gave Thomas the chance to seal the win.
Scarlets head coach Wayne Pivac said: "We're obviously happy and relieved. It was really important to get a win today with a couple of away games coming up.
"We were certainly disappointed to fall behind 21-19.
"That was a massive result; there was a big improvement, but still some errors."

Latest figures show net migration rose to 176,000 - up from 153,000 people in the year to September 2012.
The increase appears to buck the trend of a decline in net migration - the difference between the number of people coming to and leaving the country.
Prime Minister David Cameron wants to get UK net migration below 100,000 before the next election in 2015.
The increase was driven by a change in the number of people who left Britain. In the year to September 2012, 342,000 moved abroad. But fewer people left the UK in the year to December 2012.
Over the same period, the number of immigrants arriving in the country remained virtually unchanged. The difference between these two factors meant that net migration rose - although it did not climb back above the level it was at in December 2011.
By Dominic CascianiHome affairs correspondent, BBC News
Today's figures show how tough the government's self-imposed net migration target could become.
The news is not all bad. The detail shows that immigration itself is down on where it was when the coalition came in - now sitting at under half a million people a year.
But the problem for ministers is that they can't control all forms of immigration and emigration - and fewer British and EU citizens are leaving.
If fewer people leave, then the net migration balance can rise, even if the number of immigrants declines.
So if the government is going to hit its target, it may need to find more tools to increase departures while maintaining pressure on arrivals.
And that's why many experts on different sides of the political and policy debate argue that the net migration target isn't a sensible measure of how well the system is being managed.
Immigration minister Mark Harper said net migration was however down by a third since its peak in 2010.
He added that a new immigration bill coming into force in the autumn would make it more difficult for people to come into Britain if they had no right to do so and would make it easier to remove people who were not entitled to stay in the country.
"We are committed to bringing net migration down from the hundreds of thousands to the tens of thousands," Mr Harper said.
"We are working across government to protect public services and ensure our welfare system is not open to abuse."
Shadow immigration minister Chris Bryant said the figures were "a blow" to the home secretary.
"Theresa May's focus on net migration, which has gone wrong in these figures, has also meant the government is failing badly on illegal immigration, which is a major concern to the public and is getting worse and worse with fewer people being stopped at the border, absconsions up and deportations down.
"Immigration needs to be controlled, but we must recognise there is immigration that works for Britain and immigration that doesn't."
But the pressure group Migrationwatch UK said that the detail of the latest figures showed the government was succeeding in cutting immigration from outside the EU - and that further reductions in net migration could come by ensuring that people leave when they should.
Sir Andrew Green, Migrationwatch's chairman, said: "It is far too early on the basis of one quarter's figures to call this a setback to the government's policy. Student interviews and measures to ensure that students leave when they should will make a substantial difference."
Sarah Mulley, of the centre-left think tank, the Institute for Public Policy Research, said the statistics suggested the government was running out of options to meet its target.
"Recent declines have been driven in large part by falling numbers of international students, which has come at a high economic cost, but this trend now appears to be levelling off," she said.
Other figures released in the report include:
The teachers work at 28 PakTurk schools which Turkey says are linked to US-based Turkish preacher Fethullah Gulen. The schools deny this.
Turkey accuses Mr Gulen of being behind July's failed coup, a claim he rejects.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, visiting Pakistan, welcomed the move.
In a statement, PakTurk International Schools and Colleges said the teachers and their families, who totalled about 450 people, had been asked to leave because of "non-approval of their requests for extension of visa".
What is the Gulen movement?
Who was behind Turkey coup attempt?
Pakistan's interior ministry has so far not commented.
The expulsions are not expected to stop the functioning of the schools as most staff members are Pakistani.
A petition by the school management challenging the decision is to be heard by the Islamabad High Court on Thursday, Pakistani media report.
Mr Erdogan described the decision by Pakistan as "very pleasing".
"They moved rapidly in the direction of ending the [Gulen movement's] presence in Pakistan and toward thwarting their attempts at unrest," he said at Ankara airport as he left for Pakistan.
"As you know, Pakistan has asked persons linked to the organisation to leave the country by November 20. This is very pleasing for us."
According to Pakistan's Dawn newspaper, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu raised the issue of the schools during a visit to Pakistan in August and was told the matter would be investigated.
The Gulen movement, which the Turkish government has declared a terrorist organisation, runs schools all over the world.
Since July's failed coup, Turkey has cracked down on any individuals or groups believed to have links to Fethullah Gulen.
Tens of thousands of people from every level of society have been purged from their jobs, including senior military officers, government officials and school teachers.
Critics of President Erdogan say he has used the coup attempt as a way of removing his opponents.
Colombian international Freddy Montero came on as a second-half substitute to net both goals.
The match was played in front of some 20,000 spectators at Cape Town's World Cup Stadium at the conclusion of a new four-team tournament.
Two South African clubs also participated but both Ajax Cape Town and SuperSport United were eliminated in Friday's semi-finals in contrasting fashion.
Palace easily strode past hapless SuperSport in a 4-0 triumph while Ajax were only eliminated on penalties after giving up a late equaliser to Sporting in a 2-2 draw in Friday's second semi-final.
The final on Sunday produced a high level of competition that delighted Palace manager Alan Pardew.
"I was pleased with everything but the result," Pardew said. "It was a good test for the players and played at a high level.
"I would say it was the same level as a Europa League game and having that opportunity before the start of the season means I'm delighted in terms of our preparation."
Palace made two errors, however, that proved costly as Montero squeezed home a free-kick that first hit the upright post before bouncing back into play, hitting the back of diving goalkeeper Alex McCarthy and dropping back into the net.
That gave Sporting a 71st-minute lead after their goalkeeper Rui Patricio had kept them in the game with several sharp saves.
Montero scored the second four minutes from the end when a stray pass caught out Joel Ward and the ball was snapped up by Algerian international Islam Slimani.
He ran forcefully at the defence before slipping the ball for Montero to finish with a clever left-footed chip.
"It is good that we get used to winning," Sporting's new coach Jorge Jesus said afterwards.
"It is important to win these trophies and get into the habit of winning."
Di-sgôr oedd y gêm ond mae'n debyg y bydd yn cael ei chofio am drosedd Neil Taylor yn erbyn amddiffynnwr Everton Seamus Coleman. Fe gafodd Taylor gerdyn coch yn syth wedi'r digwyddiad.
"Mae'n rhaid i ni feddwl yn bennaf am Seamus Coleman. Fe sy'n fwyaf pwysig," dywedodd Chris Coleman.
Ychwanegodd: "Dyw amddifynnwr Aston Villa, Neil Taylor, ddim y math yna o chwaraewr ond mae'r hyn sydd wedi digwydd yn anodd i Seamus."
Ar ddiwedd y gêm roedd Coleman yn credu bod ei dîm ar i fyny cyn gorfod chwarae gyda deg dyn.
Mae canlyniad y gêm yn golygu bod Cymru bedwar pwynt y tu ôl i Weriniaeth Iwerddon a Serbia a hynny wrth i hanner gemau grŵp D gael eu chwarae.
"Mi wnaeth y cerdyn coch newid popeth," ychwanegodd Coleman, "roeddwn yna'n gorfod brwydro'n galed am 25 munud."
Dywedodd Coleman ei bod hi dal yn bosib i Gymru chwarae yn nhwrnament Rwsia yn 2018 er na fydd Gareth Bale yn cael chwarae yn y gêm nesaf.
Ychwanegodd: "Mae pump gêm ar ôl i'w chwarae a hyd yma does neb wedi ein trechu.
"Mae'r chwaraewyr wedi rhoi'r cyfan - ry'n angen gwell lwc a safon tro nesaf.
"Bydd colli Gareth yn Serbia yn ergyd ond dyna beth yw pêl-droed rhyngwladol.
"Ond ry'n ni dal yn credu y gallwn ddod â rhywbeth nôl o Serbia. Mi fydd yn brawf da ar ein gallu ac y mae'n gêm yr ydym yn edrych ymlaen ati."
Wedi'r gêm dywedodd Gareth Bale ei fod yn credu bod Cymru yn rheoli cyn cerdyn coch Taylor.
"Yn yr hanner cyntaf," roedd hi'n gêm gorfforol galed a doedd ein perfformiad ddim yn hynod o dda.
"Yn yr ail hanner, er hynny, roedd pethau'n well ac fe gawsom sawl cyfle - rwy'n credu i ni reoli'r gêm yn hynod o dda.
"Yn amlwg roedd chwarae gyda 10 dyn ar y diwedd yn anodd.
"Ry'n, wrth gwrs, yn siomedig na chawsom yr un gôl na buddugoliaeth."
His body was found in the water on the seafront near the Citadel on Thursday afternoon, police said.
The area around Plymouth Hoe is popular for tombstoning, where thrill-seekers leap from high places into open water.
A police spokesperson said the death was not being treated as suspicious and the man's next of kin have been informed.

Assistant Chief Constable Paul Netherton of Devon and Cornwall Police tweeted that he was "really saddened" and "we lose too many people being washed off cliffs as it is".
The coastguard's latest figures show that tombstoning has led to an average of two deaths a year over the past 10 years.

Between 2005 and 2015 coastguards dealt with more than 200 incidents of tombstoning, with 83 injuries and 20 deaths.
An 11-year-old boy died in July after reportedly tombstoning from a bridge into a canal in Rotherham.
Cornwall Council issued a warning after receiving reports of young people in Bude, St Ives, Newquay and Portreath leaping from road bridges, locks and closed-off piers after drinking alcohol.
Simon Blackburn, from the Local Government Association, said: "The message is clear - if you don't know that the depth of the water is safe or you cannot see what is below the surface, don't jump."
Julie Sayles, 58, is accused of defrauding Edith Negus in 2014 when she was her carer in Bridlington.
She is alleged to have taken £7,688 in February, £150,000 in March, £90,000 in June and £40,000 in July.
She pleaded not guilty at Hull Crown Court to five counts of fraud by abuse of position and two charges under the Proceeds of Crime Act.

The 58-year-old, who worked at Friends of the Elderly in Bridlington, is also accused of making a gain for herself through fraudulent execution of a will.
Two of the charges relate to allegations that she used the money to buy a house in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, in April 2014 and Scarborough, in September 2014.
Ms Sayles, of Sewerby Road, Bridlington, is due to stand trial at the same court in June and was bailed.
Owain Arwel Hughes said there was still no detail about the implications of leaving the EU on the movement of artists and instruments.
The UK government plans to reach a deal to leave the EU by March 2019.
It said it was ready to help UK musicians and the wider industry "maximise the opportunities ahead."
Mr Hughes, who founded the Welsh Proms, said it was "vitally important to alleviate this uncertainty" for musicians from EU countries who play for UK orchestras.
"We don't know what's going to happen to them. Are they going to be uncertain and choose to leave the orchestra and go home, so everybody leaves the orchestra?" he said.
"There's the uncertainty of, 'Do we stay, what is going to happen?"
Mr Hughes regularly conducts orchestras in Cardiff and London and carries out engagements in European cities.
He said it was currently straightforward to bring singers or musicians from EU countries as last-minute replacements for performances in the UK, but restrictions on movement could impact future concerts.
"Let's say there's an opera going on in Covent Garden and the singer goes ill, as often happens. Normally you can get somebody like that who can come from anywhere.
"But if that freedom goes, you'll never get anyone in time. They'll be going through visa applications and goodness knows what.
"Same thing with instrumentalists playing concertos and so on, to have that freedom knowing the role can be filled by anybody is very, very important."
Regard it as an opportunity rather than a threat
Arts journalist Mike Smith, who supported the campaign to leave the EU, said: "My main message to them is to regard it as an opportunity rather than a threat.
"To look at the things we have learnt from the European Union - that we do need access for artists to be able to travel across borders, but we should go back to a more internationalist view, and that actually we should be negotiating for free access on the global stage."
Artists and their instruments currently enjoy relatively free movement between EU countries.
Outside the EU, performers and their equipment must often pay for visas and other documentation.
Andy Farquharson is a logistics manager responsible for organising orchestral tours and concerts.
He said: "At the moment it's relatively simple, certainly within the EU. If you want to go further afield it does require more licences not just for the performers themselves, but actually for their instruments as well. They are classed as cultural goods.
"So at the moment it is relatively free to move those around, but I think the concern is that if those borders come closer to home then actually the movement is going to become more tricky.
"And that's where companies such as mine will be more heavily involved in supporting people because when you go to actually move and run the tour it's a bit too late if you haven't got the paperwork in place. So yeah, it could potentially be quite tricky."
Touring - with strings attached
Welsh folk group Calan tours extensively in the EU and around the world.
Violinist Angharad Jenkins said: "At the moment, going to Europe is very easy. All you have to do is book your flight and you are there - you could take a gig this weekend and you wouldn't have to think twice about it.
"America, on the other hand, there's a huge logistical problem to overcome in that you have to get working visas to go over there."
She said plans to tour the EU after March 2019 would be formalised next year.
"We tend to work about 18 months in advance, we know what we are doing until the end of 2018. But of course next year we will be starting to plan what's happening in 2019 and my hope is that it will continue to be the same and that we can move freely around Europe, but who knows?"
The Department for Exiting the European Union said: "We are working across UK Government to identify and develop options to shape our future immigration system.
"We are engaging with businesses and communities through a series of Brexit roundtables to understand the opportunities and challenges that arise from our EU exit including touring musicians and crews.
"We want music in all its forms to continue to thrive and stand ready to help UK musicians and the wider industry maximise the opportunities ahead."
Arthur Jones has not been seen since 19 June - two days after he arrived, and at a news conference, son Jeff made a tearful appeal for his safe return.
Mr Jones also criticised the way Greek police were carrying out the investigation.
His father was due to fly home on 24 June but was not on the flight.
A vigil was held in the pensioner's home town on Thursday evening.
He had sent his family a postcard saying he was planning a walking trip but those who have flown to Crete found Mr Jones's equipment still in his room in Chania.
His son told reporters: "We just wish we had a North Wales Police officer team here with us to help.
"There was mass overgrowth at the hotel where he was staying in, but the police have only searched the perimeter and not even with search dogs.
"The longer it goes on and the lack of things we see happening, we all think, or suspect - is there foul play?"
He added: "Since we arrived, although we have been assisting the police with their inquiries, we almost feel that we have been leading the investigation - every snippet of information that we can give them," he said.
Family members and friends on Crete have handed out 1,000 leaflets on the island, hoping British tourists will remember bumping into the pensioner.
But Mr Jones said not one witness had come forward.
"It's all very, very strange," he added.
He is due to meet the consul, Beverley Lewis, later on Friday.
Arthur Jones is described as 5'6" tall, medium build with short grey hair and a grey moustache.
A Facebook campaign to Find Arthur has attracted support from over 3,000 people.
Prime Minister David Cameron has also pledged to do "everything he can" to help find Mr Jones.
The group's ringleader was sentenced to one year and eight months in prison, while four others were ordered to serve between six months and a year.
They all denied the charges. Four of the men have appealed the ruling.
The landmark case has set Norwegians' hunting rights against the survival of Europe's smallest wolf populations.
The men were all prosecuted for attempting to trap wolves in February 2014.
They were tried under Norway's organised crime laws following a high level police operation involving telephone wiretaps.
The strictest sentence was handed down to Dennis Nordahl, 48, who was judged to be the main defendant in the case at the South Oesterdal District Court in eastern Norway, reports say.
He was also accused of shooting a wolf in a separate incident in March last year. He said he had been on a fox hunting trip, and denied knowing the animal he killed was a wolf.
As well as the prison sentences, the men all received hunting bans of various lengths.
A sixth defendant was found not guilty.
Norway is believed to have one of the smallest population of wolves in Europe - with perhaps as few as 30.
Wolves were hunted to near extinction in southern Scandinavia until a hunting ban was imposed in the 1970s.
However farmers generally welcome wolf hunting, as the animals are seen as a great threat to sheep and dogs.
President Petro Poroshenko told the BBC's Fergal Keane he did not trust his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.
However he said he had no option but to negotiate with Mr Putin.
Russia denies Western accusations that it has sent regular troops and armour to help the rebels in eastern Ukraine.
The United Nations says at least 6,000 people have been killed since fighting started in eastern Ukraine in April 2014.
Pro-Russian rebels made significant gains in the region, including, most recently, the rail hub of Debaltseve. They, and Russia, have denied they are receiving Moscow's support.
But Russia's role has again come into question, after the capture on Saturday of two men Ukraine said were elite Russian soldiers working in eastern Ukraine.
In a video, the men confirmed they were active Russian servicemen, but Moscow said they were no longer employed by the state when they were caught.
Mr Poroshenko said: "Can I be absolutely clear with you this is not a fight with Russian-backed separatists, this is a real war with Russia.
"The fact that we captured...Russian regular special forces soldiers [is] strong evidence of that."
When asked whether he feared a summer offensive by Russia, Mr Poroshenko said: "I fear anything. I believe they are preparing an offensive and I think we should be ready and I think that we do not give them any tiny chance for provocation. That will totally be their responsibility."
Mr Poroshenko added that, despite not trusting Mr Putin, he had no option but to have faith in diplomacy.
He said he feared parts of eastern Ukraine could not be taken away from rebels by military means alone - meaning diplomacy was the only answer.
On Tuesday, Nato's Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg called for an end to snap exercises by Russia close to the Ukrainian border, and demanded Russia be "more transparent when it comes to their military activities".
How many Russians are fighting in Ukraine?
A ceasefire agreement was signed in Minsk in February, but heavy fighting has continued since then. Last week, Mr Poroshenko said at least 83 Ukrainian servicemen had been killed since the ceasefire came into effect.
Elsewhere in Ukraine, at least four Ukrainian soldiers were killed in the eastern Luhansk region on Tuesday. The region's governor said the men were attacked by separatist rebels near the village of Katerinovka.

Their job was to create machines that could win the war.
But these wartime inventions didn't just change how the soldiers fought, they changed the world forever.
Martin's been finding out more about WW1 warfare.
Researchers said warmer water affected the distribution and size of plankton - tiny organisms that form the basis of food chains in aquatic systems.
The team warmed plankton-containing vessels by 4C (7F) - the temperature by which some of the world's rivers and lakes could warm over the next century.
The findings appear in the journal Global Change Biology.
"Our study provides almost the first direct experimental evidence that - in the short-term - if a [freshwater] ecosystem warms up, it has profound implications for the size structure of plankton communities," said lead author Gabriel Yvon-Durocher from Queen Mary, University of London.
"Essentially, what we observed within the phytoplankton (microscopic plants) community was that it switched from a system that was dominated by larger autotrophs (plants that photosynthesise) to a system that was dominated by smaller autotrophs with a lower standing biomass."
Dr Yvon-Durocher added that a greater abundance, but lower overall biomass, of smaller phytoplankton had "very important implications for the stability of plankton food webs".
"This meant that the distribution of biomass between plants and animals changed from a... situation where you had a large amount of plants and a smaller amount of animal consumers to an 'inverted pyramid' where you have a smaller quantity of plant biomass and a larger amount of animal biomass," he told BBC News.
"Systems that tend to have larger consumer biomass relative to the resource biomass tend to be less stable over time."
Dr Yvon-Durocher explained that phytoplankton played a key role in the food webs of oceans, rivers and lakes.
"An inordinate amount of the primary productivity and carbon draw-down in ocean and freshwater ecosystems are carried out by microscopic planktonic organisms."
Because the tiny plants are able to produce their own food by using energy from sunlight, they are an important food source for zooplankton - microscopic animals that are not able to synthesise their own food.
The zooplankton are also a vital food for other creatures higher up the the food chain.
"Understanding the dynamics of these communities is going to be crucial in understanding how marine and freshwater ecosystems will respond to changes in temperature."
Fresh insight
For their experiment, the team of UK and Spanish researchers used 20 mesocosms, which are containers that allow scientists to study freshwater ecosystems in a controlled environment.
"We were able to, in a relatively small plot of land, have 20 replicated ecosystems - half of which we warmed, and the other half we kept at an ambient year-round temperature," explained Dr Yvon-Durocher.
"The great advantage of using the mescosm set-up is that it allows the manipulation of an entire ecosystem.
"There is an absolute wealth of literature on the effects of warming and climate change on single species, but we understand very little about what happens at a community level."
Commenting on their results, the team said: "These findings could provide some novel insights into how future warming might change the distribution of organism size and biomass in freshwater ecosystems.
"The size structure of plankton communities is a key driver of rates of carbon sequestration and nutrient cycling."
They added that warming waters could have an impact on a global scale.
However, Dr Yvon-Durocher said that it did not mean that the future for aquatic ecosystems was looking bleak.
"What it means is that the make-up of ecological communities are likely to profoundly change as a result of warming," he suggested.
"It may mean that the species' composition might change, but what we don't understand is how those changes are going to affect the functions of the ecosystems.
"That is the next step."

World number ones South Africa, who are eliminated, suffered three run-outs in a collapse of eight wickets for 51 runs to be bowled out for 191.
Shikhar Dhawan made 78 and Virat Kohli 76 not out as India raced to their target with 12 overs to spare.
India join England and Bangladesh in the last four, with Sri Lanka meeting Pakistan on Monday for the final spot.
It would take a dramatic swing in net run-rate for India to be toppled as Group B leaders, so they are likely to play Bangladesh at Edgbaston on Thursday. England are already guaranteed to play in the first semi in Cardiff on Wednesday.
Though South Africa go out, they remain in England for three Twenty20 internationals, followed by a four-Test series.

Despite having four batsmen inside the top 10 of the world ODI rankings, South Africa could only muster 219-8 in their defeat by Pakistan last Wednesday. This, though, was a greater implosion - comical, calamitous and self-inflicted.
Firstly AB de Villiers failed to beat Hardik Pandya's throw from point to depart with a tournament total of 20 runs.
De Villiers was running with Faf du Plessis who, five balls later, was involved in a farcical mix-up with David Miller that ended with both men striving to make ground at the striker's end as the bails were removed at the non-striker's. The third umpire adjudged Miller as the man out.
Fittingly, a run-out completed the collapse. Imran Tahir and JP Duminy met in the middle of the pitch, with Tahir's turn and dive unable to save him.
India suffered a chastening defeat at the hands of Sri Lanka last Thursday as a chase of 322 was completed with six balls to spare. Here their bowlers impressed, albeit with some South African help.
In a soporific opening to the Proteas' innings, openers Hashim Amla and Quinton de Kock were squeezed - the run-rate barely edged past four an over in an opening stand of 76.
Recalled off-spinner Ravinchandran Ashwin had Amla caught behind for 35 and left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja had a sweeping De Kock lbw for 53. Then, after the run-outs, the pacemen got to work.
Hardik Pandya bowled Du Plessis with a slower ball, and Jasprit Bumrah had Chris Morris top edge to mid-wicket and Andile Phehlukwayo lbw to a full toss.
Runs dried up - only 60 came from the final 19 overs of an innings ended by two wickets in two balls for Bhuvneshwar Kumar before Tahir's final, desperate run-out.
To defend such a meagre total, South Africa needed every half-chance to be held, but a Kohli hook off Morne Morkel fell short of Morris at fine leg before Amla put down a very tough chance off the same batsman at first slip off Phehlukwayo.
The India skipper arrived after Rohit Sharma played a needless waft at Morkel to be caught behind, but that never felt like the beginning of a South Africa fightback.
Left-hander Dhawan, the tournament's leading runscorer, sparkled square of the wicket, adding 121 with Kohli before he miscued Tahir to long-off.
Kohli played handsome drives on both sides, completing the job with Yuvraj Singh, who sealed the match with a six to the delight of a noisy and partisan crowd.
Former South Africa captain Graeme Smith on Test Match Special: "That run-out of AB de Villiers just sparked panic in the batting line-up. It's like they've never batted together before, like they've never heard the sound of a crowd.
"You have to laugh, otherwise you're going to cry. This performance doesn't bode well for South Africa's tour of England after this tournament."
India captain Virat Kohli: "It was a good toss to win; the wicket didn't change too much.
"Our bowlers bowled really well and the fielders backed it up. It was a complete performance in the field; we grabbed the chances that came our way."
South Africa captain AB de Villiers: "It's not an ideal way to finish the tournament. It's disappointing, but credit to them.
"We got something nice going until the run-outs, which cost us highly today. We just came unstuck against a better team today."
Referee Neil Swarbrick admitted he sent off the wrong man at Etihad Stadium after Dawson had fouled City striker Wilfried Bony in the second minute.
The FA's Independent Regulatory Commission met on Monday and ruled it was a case of "mistaken identity".
Dawson will now serve a one-match ban.
The defender will miss the Premier League visit of QPR on 4 April for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity.
Northern Ireland centre-back McAuley was dismissed in the second minute for a foul on Bony when it was Dawson who had committed the offence.
Swarbrick apologised for his mistake afterwards via a statement from the Professional Game Match Officials Ltd.
After the game West Brom boss Tony Pulis called for referee reviews, where managers are able to appeal against decisions during a game.
"If we can help referees with a 30-second call-back option, twice a game, it would stop us talking about them," the West Brom manager said.
The 24-year-old Macedonia international played the full 90 minutes of the shock victory in Zagreb on 16 September.
Ademi said: "I am not guilty and I didn't do anything wrong. I don't know what to say about this suspension. I feel awful right now."
Coach Zoran Mamic said the club will appeal and called it a "humiliation".
Mamic told the Zagreb website: "Ademi and experts proved his supplement was infected with a prohibited substance and he didn't know what kind of supplement he was using.
"That is why I can't understand this decision made by Uefa.
"A four-year suspension is a stupidity. How would Uefa punish Arsenal, Bayern, Manchester or some other big club?
"We will fight for him and for his case because Ademi is a brilliant young guy, player and a vice-captain.
"We want to protect him, protect the club and Croatian football in general, because this is a huge stain for all of us."
There are no rules to disqualify teams from the Champions League unless at least two players fail drugs tests.
A defence ministry spokesman said the troops would carry out reconnaissance missions and return fire if necessary.
The group is also said to have killed 11 soldiers and 13 police officers in the north-eastern state of Yobe, the Nigerian military has said.
Yobe is one of the three north-eastern states under a state of emergency.
Witnesses in the town of Buni Yadi said the attackers had arrived in several vehicles, including an armoured car, and told residents they were not going to kill civilians, only members of the security forces.
They also burnt buildings including the home of a traditional ruler and a police station.
Buni Yadi is a notoriously volatile area, where dozens of teenage school boys were killed in their dormitory last February, says the BBC's Will Ross in Abuja.
The almost daily attacks in north-east Nigeria show the massive task the Nigerian military faces, he adds.
More than 500 people have been killed since Boko Haram hit world headlines by abducting more than 200 schoolgirls from their remote boarding school in Chibok last month.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Nigerian military said it knew where the girls were, but would not attempt a rescue.
Retired US Gen Carter Ham, who was formerly one of the commanders of the US Africa Command, which liaises with African countries on military matters, told the BBC that the Nigerian government must now be considering its options:
"There are difficult options at best. Certainly a military or security force hostage rescue operation brings with it great, great risk, and I think there have been in public debate about Nigeria's capability to perform that, but... if they have an opportunity and see that is the right thing to do, they probably could."
The Nigerian military has rejected accusations that it is hampering efforts to find the kidnapped girls because of poor training and corruption.
Responding to an article in the New York Times, it said in a statement that the author of the article failed "to acknowledge the fact that this same Nigerian military have trained and conducted military exercises and operations alongside the military organisations of other nations in recent times and excelled".
Thousands of people have died since Boko Haram began a violent campaign against the Nigerian government in 2009 and in the subsequent security crackdown.

The South African debutant scored two late tries after coming on as a 66th-minute substitute.
George Ford scored all of Bath's 18 points in Todd Blackadder's first league match in charge of the club.
"It was the first run out at the Gardens in front of our fans, who were spectacular like always, so we let them down," he told BBC Radio Northampton.
"And 100 games for Luther Burrell, it was big for us to put in a big performance for him and unfortunately we just came short, so very bleak."
The rain-soaked match was a different experience for Groom, who has previously played in Super Rugby and South African domestic competitions.
"It's going to take a little getting used to, but that's part of the reason I came, to improve myself as a player and experience a different style of playing," he added.
"In a game like this with the weather playing a huge role its the small margins which make a big difference."

Italy skipper Sergio Parisse scored the quickest try of the 2017 tournament, but Gael Fickou's score helped the visitors lead 16-11 at the break.
Victor Vakatawa, Louis Picamoles and Brice Dulin also crossed, with Camille Lopez kicking 20 points, as France avoided a sixth straight away defeat.
But their slim title chances were ended by England's win over Scotland.
France, who host Wales in Paris next Saturday, must now concentrate on finishing in the top three for the first time since 2011.
Italy produced encouraging displays in gallant defeats against England and Wales, holding half-time leads in both matches before fading away in the second half.
Again, the Azzurri ran out of steam.
They have 'lost' the second halves of their four matches this year by a combined 115-12, compared to a 57-38 first-half deficit.
Conor O'Shea's side made the perfect start when the talismanic Parisse powered over from close range after three minutes, but they were unable to replicate the defensive resilience shown against the English and Welsh.
The Italians had 53 missed tackles, culminating in a tackle percentage of just 66%, and it was exploited by the French attack.
Les Bleus took the lead midway through the first half when Fickou dummied his way through the Italian defence to score and, although Carlos Canna's penalty reduced the gap to 13-11 shortly after.
Italy crumbled after the break as they headed towards an 11th successive Six Nations defeat, although Angelo Esposito's try in the last play of the game avoided a scoreless second half for the hosts.
However, it was little consolation for a side consigned to the wooden spoon for the third time in four years.

Ten out of the 12 floors of the critical care building, due to open in 2012, await patients and staff to fill their theatres, rooms and corridors.
New building contractors have been brought in to do repairs on 10 floors.
Asked about the delay, a Health and Social Care Trust said spokesperson said they had been faced with problems.
"The main contractor for the project encountered defects in the sealed water systems prior to the anticipated handover date and the ensuing remedial works delayed completion," they said.
"Subsequent to this delay additional work was required by the trust to bring the facility into operation."
The BBC understands that millions of pounds in additional funding are required to bring the whole building up to standard and fit for purpose.
The emergency department, which is housed on the first two floors, had to open in 2015 in order to cope with winter pressures.
Unions and community representatives have told the BBC that the delays are shocking and unacceptable.
According to a number of health unions, it has taken so long for the whole building to open that a lot of people have forgotten it exists.
The deputy director of the Royal College of Nursing, Garrett Martin, said the five year delay was "unacceptable".
"There are a lot of questions that remain unanswered as to why there is such a delay, that money has been spent replacing equipment which is now out of date and there needs to be much more openness and transparency around all of this," he said.
The original contractors for the building were McLaughlin and Harvey. When the BBC contacted them with a series of questions they replied they had "no comment".
An internal report by the new contractors, Killowen Contracts LTC and Michael Nugent Ltd - seen by the BBC - highlights claims that new problems were being discovered on a regular basis.
The progress report was shared among the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust (BHSCT), building contractors and the Department of Health in December 2016.
The internal report from the current contractor also says: "We are very conscious that mistakes cannot be repeated and therefore quality of workmanship is our first priority and while we will continue to strive to complete the works at the earliest possible date quality will take precedence."
The report claims there were numerous problems including plumbing, waste and electrical systems.
However, it is important to note that this report comes from the current contractor and some of the matters highlighted within it are the subject of legal disputes.
Also, both the original contractor and a subcontractor have themselves claimed that they regularly encountered problems with the building's plan.
Health care staff and health unions are questioning both the delay and the additional expense to the public purse.
In fact the BBC has learned that the delay has meant some of the newly purchased equipment in 2012 has had to be replaced. This includes oxygen hoses used in theatres as they have a limited shelf life.
Also paint work and ceilings on almost all of the 10 floors have had to be either fixed or replaced.
The chief executive of NICVA - the Northern Ireland Council of Voluntary Action - has asked who is being held to account.
"In a time when we are talking about transforming health, yet we have £150m that has done nothing, costing us money to replace parts of this building and which is not being brought in to public use," Seamus McAleavey said.
"So clearly we need to know who is responsible and get to grips with it. Things can go wrong and we accept that - but they need to be fixed and five years is far too long."
I have seen pictures from last December which show corridors and rooms dismantled as repairs continue.
Air ventilation plants were ripped out; toilets and waste bins replaced on almost all of the 10 floors; the buildings foul waste systems also had to be replaced. Generators were also found to be overheating.
The new critical care hospital which cost around £150m has had a history of problems. It is the responsibility of the Belfast Health Trust.
The BBC understands that legal proceedings between various contractors and the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust have dominated throughout almost the duration of the build.
As McLaughlin and Harvey neared the completion of the building in 2013 as reported by the BBC they discovered a serious problem with corroded pipework.
They finally handed the building over the trust in the spring of 2015.
Proceedings have been acrimonious with different parties blaming others for failure and complications. A separate insurance case at Belfast High Court in 2016 heard that McLaughlin and Harvey spent more than £9.8m of its own money to rectify the problems they say they encountered. The case was settled out of court.
Sources who have spoken to the BBC say they can't understand how a building with so many construction problems was allowed to open its emergency department in the first place.
The Belfast Health Trust has confirmed that a number of construction problems have delayed completion.
In response to an FOI request the health trust said that additional works required by the trust to bring the facilities in line with current legislation and standard have been undertaken.
The trust also confirmed that due to the long period of time from initial design to completion further additional work has been required.
When asked why the BHSCT accepted the building from contractors with so many known defects, the trust said that all construction contracts contain a procedure of identification and remediation of defects in a building post-handover.
The Belfast trust said that it is currently engaged in a programme to clinically commission the critical care building including the recruitment and training of nursing and medical staff. This programme runs in tandem with the works being completed with the building.
A new deadline for the opening of theatres and the intensive care unit is now the latter part of 2017.
It's important to stress that any additional spend will not impact on patient care and that the funding for the building came out of capital spend.
Unite and the GMB, two of the UK's largest trade unions, say the move is a "serious mistake" and could lead the party to a general election defeat.
But Labour's leader told the BBC he would "stand up for what's right" and it was "tough" if others disagreed.
Mr Miliband added that the party had to face up to "economic reality".
In 2010, the Conservative-Liberal Democrat froze public sector pay for two years for those earning above £21,000.
Then, last November, it said rises would be capped at 1% for each of the two years to 2015.
Labour's leadership announced at the weekend that this public sector pay restraint would continue if it regained power, given the economic situation.
But Len McCluskey, the general secretary of Unite - the UK's biggest union and Labour's largest donor - told the Guardian newspaper this would lead to the party's "destruction" and "certain electoral defeat".
Analysis: Masterstroke or own goal?Labour - Now Ed backs pay cuts
He criticised what he called a "cavalier" shift in policy, arguing: "This confronts those of us who have supported Ed Miliband's bold attempt to move on from Blairism with a challenge. His leadership has been undermined as he is being dragged back into the swamp of bond market orthodoxy."
And the Evening Standard said it had seen a letter suggesting the GMB was considering its financial ties to Labour.
A spokesman for the union told the BBC that its general secretary Paul Kenny had written to senior Labour officials saying that the decision to back the public sector pay cap was a "most serious mistake".
Between July 2010 and last September, Unite gave £5m to Labour and the GMB provided £1.9m. This represented 43.2% of all donations made to the party during the period.
But, speaking to BBC political editor Nick Robinson, Mr Miliband said: "I don't seek a fight within my own party, but I do stand up for what's right.
"And if people don't like it, I'm afraid that's tough because I'm going to take the responsible path, the right path and the path which will show to the public that Labour is serious about the economic reality we will face if we come into government after the next general election."
Asked if he was urging public sector workers to agree to pay cuts to preserve jobs, Mr Miliband replied: "Absolutely. We're talking actually about a pay increase limited to 1%, but absolutely.
"Look, the priority now has to be to preserve jobs. I think that's a recognition that everybody would see around the country. We have got to do everything we can to preserve employment and as I say, this Labour Party is going to face up to those difficult choices we have to make."
But Bob Crow, general secretary of the RMT transport trade union - which is not affiliated to Labour - said the party was now "doomed" to electoral defeat.
Backbench Labour MP John Mann told BBC Radio 4's World at One there had "to be some proper thought on how government can reduce spending", rather than "by attacking the lowest paid". He said Mr Miliband needed a "credible plan" for government.
And fellow backbencher John McDonnell also accused his leader of "capitulation to Cameron's economic analysis", adding: "Len McCluskey's article sums up the general feeling among Labour Party supporters of overwhelming disappointment."
Unions founded Labour and supply around 90% of the party's funds. Mr Miliband narrowly won the Labour leadership contest in September 2010 ahead of his brother, David, after success with trade union members and affiliated societies pushed him into first place.
A car with blue flashing lights had stopped another car in East Kilbride at 02:15 on Wednesday 16 November.
A man dressed in a bogus police uniform asked the 31-year-old driver to get out. When he refused, the fake officer and another man drove off.
The arrested man is expected to appear at Hamilton Sheriff Court on Tuesday.
The incident caused delays across the US and in Japan, Italy and the UK.
Airport check-in systems, passenger advisory screens, the airline's website and smartphone apps were affected by the systems failure on Monday.
Flights resumed six hours later but Delta warned of continuing delays as a backlog of passengers was cleared.
The airline suspended or cancelled dozens of departures early on Monday, with airport agents forced to write out boarding passes by hand.
By Monday evening, Delta said more than 740 flights had been cancelled but its computer systems were working again.
Delta offered passengers refunds and $200 (£153) vouchers while CEO Ed Bastian apologised for the inconvenience in a video message.
"The Delta team is working very hard to restore [services] and get the system back [operating] as quickly as possible," he said.
The overnight power failure took place in Atlanta, near Delta's headquarters, the company said, causing computer systems to crash.
"Our systems are down everywhere," the company at one point told its customers on Twitter.
Passengers around the world complained of long check-in queues, with many sleeping on the floor.
"This is ridiculous," one of hundreds of passengers stuck at Newark Liberty International airport in New Jersey told Reuters news agency.
"I don't understand what is going on here. It's just a mess," she said while waiting at Delta's check-in counter.
Another passenger complained of "utter confusion across the board" on social media while another said the airline had not provided enough staff at check-in counters to explain what was going on.
Many travellers posted their unhappiness on social media, making #Delta a top trending topic.
After the problem was resolved, the airline warned that many passengers still faced delays and cancellations because of the knock-on effect of the earlier disruption.
Delta ranks third in the world in terms of passengers carried, according to industry body the IATA.
The airline has advised customers to check the status of their flight before heading to the airport.
The incident will damage Delta's reputation for punctuality and lack of cancellations, USA Today commented.
While Delta has one of the best reliability records in the industry, the Wall Street Journal reported, its "relative outperformance" has left stranded passengers with fewer options when it comes to allowing them to rebook at discounted fares.
One passenger told the BBC he was waiting with "several hundred" fellow stranded passengers at San Francisco airport, after being asked to leave a plane he had boarded.
"We were ordered off the plane after approximately an hour or more," said Dick Ginkowski, who said that tempers were starting to get strained.
Delta has been responding to unhappy customers on Twitter and has issued guidelines for affected passengers.
The airline serves about 180 million customers a year, employing over 80,000 people, its website says.
It is the latest carrier to suffer computer problems, with Southwest Airlines last month forced to cancel more than 2,000 flights after an outage prevented travellers checking in.
Five family members died on Sunday when their car went off Buncrana pier in County Donegal and into Lough Swilly.
Davitt Walsh was on the pier and said he took off his clothes and swam to the family as fast as he could.
He said he "could see the distress in the family" as they tried to escape from the car.
Those who died were Ruth Daniels, 57, her daughter Jodie Lee Daniels, 14, Sean McGrotty, 49, and his sons Mark, 12, and Evan, eight.
They were the mother, sister, partner and two sons of Louise James, from Londonderry.
"The father had the window half ajar and started hitting it with his elbow to break it," he told Irish state broadcaster RTÉ.
"When the window was broke, the father... handed me the baby and said: 'Take the baby.'
"The water started to come into the car and he just looked at me and said: 'Save my baby.'
"I took the baby, I held it above my head and I swam back to shore.
"The father could have saved himself because he was out of the car, but he went back in to save his family.
"I think deep down the father knew I was only going to be able to save one person."
Mr Walsh, a footballer who has played in the top divisions in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, said the car sank "instantly".
"My girlfriend was waiting at the shore, she took the baby off me," he said.
"I was exhausted on the pier, I just lay there on the algae.
"I just feel really, really terrible that I couldn't do any more for the family."
The baby, Rionaghac-Ann, was taken to hospital and police said she was recovering well.
Mr Walsh, from Kerrykeel in County Donegal, has been praised by the family of the victims for saving her.
Jim McGrotty, a brother of Sean, said Mr Walsh was a "brave man".
"Words cannot express the enormity of the tragedy which has befallen our family," he added.
"If there is anything good which has come out of it is the fact that baby Rionaghac-Ann has been saved."
Wrexham-based North Wales Crusaders formed after the original Crusaders pulled out of the Super League in July, citing financial concerns.
But the new side had to name a provisional squad to meet a deadline, so asked fans to step forward.
A postman, teacher, lorry drivers and a schoolboy all posed for a "team photo" at the Racecourse on Saturday.
The side was created by a consortium of businesses and fans.
Interim chief executive Jamie Thomas said he was confident a full team of professional players would be in place for the opening of the Co-Operative Championship One next year.
But more than enough people had volunteered to make up the team numbers after the side was given 14 days to submit its application.
Mr Thomas said: "These are the 30 fans who stepped up to the plate and put their names down for our first ever 'squad' when the RFL told us we'd be breaching our operational guidelines if we didn't submit a provisional squad list to them by the beginning of November, when in actual fact we didn't even have one player!"
Head coach Clive Griffiths had since signed the club's first player and the hunt for more continued.
"There are plenty of people who want to play - it's about getting people of the correct standard," Mr Thomas said.
Fan Dylan Jones, eight, the youngest member of the temporary line-up, said: "I'm really pleased to be here.
"I'm hoping they will be back in the Super League in three years."
Royal Mail lorry driver Chris Jones, 47, from Wrexham, said: "It's a great idea to have fans doing this.
"It's nice to have a place in history.
"I've never played rugby in my life. This is probably the nearest I'll get to it.
"We've paid £30 each to be in this squad. They could have filled the places three or four times over. We're the lucky ones. There's a lot of support for the club."
Postman Simon Jones, 32, from Chester, said: "It was awful to see the fans torn apart when things went wrong earlier this year.
"We're starting from scratch, and as fans we have to try and do all we can to help them."
Kristy Stephenson, 47, from Colwyn Bay, Conwy, was the only woman in the temporary squad.
"Too much work had gone into the club to let it just go. That would have been such a shame."
Ms Stephenson has passed her first level of rugby league refereeing and occasionally runs the line for her local team.
Asked if she would like to officiate at a Crusaders' game, she said:" I think I'm probably a bit old for that."
North Wales Crusaders will join another Welsh side, South Wales Scorpions, in competing in the third tier of the RFL's structure.
Their intention had always been to re-form under new ownership, but their plans were dealt a blow in September when the RFL rejected their application to join the Championship.
They were later invited to join but faced the challenge of delivering a named squad.
The club will play home games at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground after securing a deal with stadium owner Glyndŵr University.
On Friday, the Met Office updated a yellow "be aware" warning to cover most of the country.
In Aberdeenshire, heavy snow closed the A93 Braemar to Spittal of Glenshee road and the A939 Cockbridge to Tommintoul.
Traffic Scotland warned drivers of difficult conditions and North Yorkshire Police tweeted that snow was "falling and settling".
There have also been some snowfalls in Wales and as far south as Eastbourne, East Sussex, with downland at Beachy Head seeing a light dusting on Saturday morning.
Forecasters had also warned of icy stretches forming on untreated roads and pavements and the potential for blizzards in gale-force winds affecting upland areas.
Snow was largely unexpected for Saturday night but there was an ice risk for Sunday morning as a result of the night's frosty conditions.
The Met Office said Sunday would be another cold but sunny day and added that there will be further showers on the coastal areas throughout the day.
A spokesman said: "It will still be cold tomorrow but perhaps not as cold as it feels on Saturday because the winds will be just that little bit lighter." | An Indian court has dismissed an attempt to bring criminal charges against a Tamil novelist whose writings on caste angered Hindu groups.

The advice from Wales' chief medical officer Dr Ruth Hussey comes after a rise in meningococcal group W cases.
Available from Monday, it replaces the meningitis C vaccine and also offers protection from A and Y strains of the disease.
Children aged 13 to 18 and students are eligible.
Dr Hussey said secondary school-aged children were at an increased risk of getting the disease and said those who have already had the MenC vaccine should get the latest jab too.
All students under 25 who are attending university for the first time in the autumn are advised to get the vaccine from their GP surgery at least two weeks before they start.
People born between 1 September, 1996, and 31 August, 1997, can get it from their GP, while younger people will have it at their surgery or in school in the next two years.

Cheshire West and Chester councillor Matthew Bryan, 30, received a 12-month community order from Chester City magistrates for common assault in an altercation in Chester in February.
The Upton councillor had denied hitting the doorman at the Kuckoo bar.
A case against Bryan for obstructing a police officer during an anti-fracking protest was dismissed last month.
The Labour Party suspended the councillor when he was charged for the bar assault.
Bryan, of Cambrian Avenue, Vicars Cross, Chester, has stepped down as vice-chair of the committee responsible for alcohol licences.
He said his solicitor had lodged an appeal in the case.
Cheshire West and Chester Council said it would not be commenting but said he would remain on the council.
Bryan was elected to the authority in 2015, when control shifted from the Conservatives.
Following a dominant first half, Asante gave Solihull the lead five minutes after the break, scrambling home after a long throw by Connor Franklin.
It was 2-0 on 70 minutes, when Omari Sterling-James' tame shot from the right-hand side somehow found its way past Magnus Norman after the winger linked up with Jamey Osbourne.
Asante, who also scored a hat-trick against Maidstone on Saturday, wrapped up the points with two goals in the last 20 minutes.
First he latched onto Ryan Beswick's pass to finish well before completing the rout eight minutes from time after peeling away from the Southport backline.

Rimantas Karvelis, 56, was hit by a black Vauxhall Astra that failed to stop just before 18:45 BST on 24 October in London Road.
He was taken to a London hospital with serious injuries but died on 3 November, Kent Police said.
His family described him as a "magnificent dad" and "an amazing person".
Mr Karvelis had been on a one-month holiday to visit one of his two sons in hospital in Dartford.
His other son, Audrius Karvelis, who has travelled back from the US, said: "I can't believe he's gone, my magnificent dad, who came here to visit my brother and encourage him to fight Guillain-Barre syndrome at Darenth Valley Hospital.
"Our life has changed irrevocably - we are shocked and deeply saddened.
"He was an amazing person, a real example to others."
The Vauxhall Astra was later found abandoned in Grange Road.
Three people have been arrested and released on bail, Kent Police said.
But the Treasury says the changes will save over £4bn a year from 2016 and claims most working families will still be better off by 2017, as a result of the introduction of the National Living Wage and changes to income tax thresholds.
People have been contacting the BBC about the recent proposals by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Here is a selection for their comments:
@goonerfm tweets his alternative:
Leza Brumbill in Romsey, Southampton: I am a single mum with three boys.
I go to work 24 hours a week, and have to pay for childcare. I rely on my tax credits to top up my earnings.
The pressure is on me to provide a loving, secure, good standard of living for my children but cutting my taxes by nearly £1,000 is going to put more pressure on me to achieve this.
Rachel in Norfolk: I believe the cuts should go ahead. I live in a deprived area. My husband has a zero hour contract and only works a few hours a month. He primarily cares for our daughter. I work full-time.
Our net income is about £2,000 per month at best. We know families on tax credits who have higher net incomes than us but pay almost no tax and National Insurance.
These families can afford to smoke, drink, go clubbing and eat out yet we cannot. It is demotivating, going to work and knowing others earn more than you for doing less.
I have started to wonder why I don't take a less stressful job for a minimum wage and receive tax credits to top it back up.
Peter in Rochdale messaged on WhatsApp to express his concerns as a single parent:
Sharon Court in Portsmouth: We are a working family, but our income is low.
I have a degree and I do freelance work part-time as my children are in primary school.
Without tax credits we would almost certainly be plunged into debt. Raising the minimum wage is important, but it has no direct impact on me as I'm self-employed.
Lots of people like me are slipping through the cracks.
Martin Godfrey in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire: I have never claimed tax credits. I object strongly to a system that hands my hard-earned taxes to people who should be taking responsibility for their own lives and the decisions they make rather than relying on the state to look after them.
@anequal tweets his satisfaction at the House of Lords' rejection of the chancellor's plans:
Lee Dunlop in Williton, Somerset: My wife and I receive tax and child tax credits.
I work 25-30 hours per week as a school caretaker.
My pay is £8.08 per hour out of which I contribute towards a pension.
I am ex-army and in February 2013 received a kidney transplant. I am unable to work more hours. What are we supposed to do?
Stacey Sutton in Worcester: These tax cuts will be catastrophic for my family.
I have a six and one-year-old. Nursery fees are extortionate. I work 16 hours per week and my husband works in retail full-time - it's barely above the minimum wage.
I want to work. I don't want to just be sitting at home claiming off the state. Even with the tax credits we get now we are really struggling to buy food and pay the bills.
God knows how we are going to be able to afford Christmas!
Tony Dessauer in Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire: I had become complacent about the income from the tax credits.
I now deliver groceries 39 hours a week on a low wage. I am 63 and see nothing wrong with working.
I appreciate why there is an uproar about the cuts but I don't believe they should be the norm. People like me who are perfectly capable, should work.
The poorest earners and single parents need help definitely. We should all work if we need to and not rely on the state to pay us a wage.

The study, of nearly 200,000 people, found sections of DNA that control both height and heart health.
The findings, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed every extra 2.5in (6.4cm) cut coronary disease incidence by 13.5%
The British Heart Foundation said short people should not be unduly worried and everyone needed a healthy lifestyle.
Coronary heart disease, which includes heart attacks and heart failure, is the leading cause of death in the UK.
More than 73,000 people die from the disease each year.
The idea that height plays a role in heart health was first proposed more than 50 years ago, but researchers did not know why.
Some thought the relationship was a consequence of other factors, such as poor childhood nutrition stunting height and also affecting the heart.
But the study at the University of Leicester suggests the answer lies deeper - inside our DNA.
They analysed 180 genes that have a known link to height.
The results showed that every 2.5in of height affected the risk by 13.5%, so the difference in heart risk between a five-footer and a six-footer would be around 64%.
Professor Sir Nilesh Samani, from the University of Leicester, told the BBC News website: "In the context of major risk factors this is small - smoking increases the risk by 200-300% - but it is not trivial.
"I wouldn't say shorter people need to take greater precautions, because if you're 6ft 1in (1.85m) you still need to stop smoking.
"This is only one of many factors affecting risk, everybody should be cautious."
The study also showed those genes cutting height were also increasing the amount of cholesterol and fats in the bloodstream.
The researchers believe some of the height genes may also be controlling both growth and blood vessel development.
"Understanding these pathways may lead to new treatments and that may be more valuable in the longer term," Prof Samani added.
But it is worth remembering it is not all good news being tall. as height increases the risk of cancer.
Prof Peter Weissberg, the medical director at the British Heart Foundation, said: "This study does not suggest that short people should be unduly worried about their health or that doctors need to focus on the health of shorter patients.
"Everyone, regardless of their height, should do everything in their power to reduce their risk of future heart disease by eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly and not smoking.
"Currently available health checks are designed to help you understand what measures you need to take to reduce your personal risk."
The NHS South West review into the way health authorities commissioned the private hospital services, is about to be signed off, the BBC understands.
The home was closed six months ago after Panorama filmed abuse of patients with learning disabilities.
The NHS said the claims about the report's contents were "misleading".
"It is premature to speculate on the findings of the NHS review which has not been finalised," a statement said.
The report is expected to raise concerns about the lack of detail in any contracts between primary care trusts and Castlebeck.
According to BBC West health correspondent Matthew Hill, the report said the contracts had no built-in mechanisms to say how quality could be assured.
Owner Castlebeck said it was "committed to learning lessons".
"We haven't had the opportunity to see the report at this stage so are not aware of its content."
They added they would be "acting on those lessons to make improvements to services wherever they are needed".
The programme showed patients at Winterbourne View being pinned down, slapped and taunted.
The report by the NHS will feed into the ongoing serious case review, which is being conducted by South Gloucestershire Council.
That is expected to be published in the New Year.
Thirteen people have been arrested and released on bail until 28 November in connection with the alleged abuse, pending further inquiries.
Winterbourne View's 24 patients were transferred from the hospital when it was closed, in June.
The report is also expected to raise concerns that families were unable to freely visit their relatives, and were restricted to seeing them in the reception area.
Steve Sollars, whose 22-year-old son Sam was in Winterbourne View for two years up to 2010, said he felt what was happening at the home was being "hidden".
"At first they were fine they were good. They would let us go onto the floor where he was and I'd get to know other patients there.
"And then all of a sudden, for no reason, it was stopped. There was no explanation. No reason, they just said you're not allowed on the ward," he said.
Mr Sollars said after he was banned from seeing him in the ward they would meet and he "didn't seem right in himself".
"We didn't know how he was being looked after. We know Sam could be messy but we didn't know what he was going to be like. We didn't know upstairs what was going on.
"So we feel now, after this programme, were things being hidden? Were there things they didn't want us to see?"
Mr Sollars said since Sam had moved he was "absolutely fantastic" - "improved so much that you wouldn't believe".
The low-energy collisions, part of preparations for the next round of experiments, began on Tuesday morning.
Proton beams circled the LHC and collided at an energy of 450 gigaelectronvolts (GeV) per beam.
The aim for this second run of the LHC, following its planned two-year shutdown for repairs and improvements, is to stage collisions at 7,000 GeV per beam.
A key milestone was reached on Easter Sunday when proton beams once again did full circuits of the LHC's 27km subterranean circle.
Now the two beams have been steered into each other - another important step in the gradual restart of the world's biggest particle accelerator.
According to the current schedule, collisions will first take place at those new, historic energies in the week commencing June 1st. Even those will only be used for calibration; "physics collisions" with usable results will start some time after that.
Excitement is building for physicists working at Cern - the European nuclear research campus near Geneva, Switzerland, which houses the LHC.
"These are the first colliding beams in the machine for over two years, and it brings home that physics collisions are close," said Prof Tara Shears from the University of Liverpool, who works on LHCb - one of four big experiments, spaced around the LHC's ring, where the collisions occur.
She said these early collisions are very valuable, even though they are only happening at injection energy, which means the LHC itself isn't adding any acceleration to the protons. They simply circulate and collide with the energy already delivered by the accelerators that feed protons into the main ring.
Instead of getting physics results, Prof Shears and her team use this early data to fine-tune their experiments. "This time, we used the data to make sure subdetectors are time-aligned with each other," she told BBC News.
"We have a shopping list of checks to do; checking the trigger, our luminosity calculation, the performance of each part of our experiment, and we'll work through this with these collision runs."
Some of the experiment teams released images illustrating Tuesday's first collisions. They show the various paths taken by debris from smashed-together protons, pieced together using data from some of the layers of detectors inside the experiments.
The LHC was the scene for the famous discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, towards the end of its first run. In its second tilt, researchers hope that the almost doubled energy levels will yield new insights beyond the Standard Model of particle physics.

Rice took charge of the London theatre in January but has come in for fierce criticism, including for her use of sound and lighting technology.
Chief executive Neil Constable said the theatre was founded to stage plays in keeping with Shakespearean traditions.
That "should continue to be the central tenet of our work", he said.
In a statement, he said Rice's "mould-breaking work" had brought in "new and diverse audiences, won huge creative and critical acclaim, and achieved exceptionally strong box office returns".
He continued: "In breaking the mould, this latest season has generated productive debate concerning the purpose and theatrical practice of the Globe, in relation to the use of sound and lighting technology within our theatre spaces.
"Following much deliberation and discussion, the Globe board has concluded that from April 2018, the theatre programming should be structured around 'shared light' productions without designed sound and light rigging, which characterised a large body of The Globe's work prior to Emma's appointment."
The Globe, which opened in 1997, is a reconstruction of a Shakespearean theatre on London's Southbank.
Until Rice's arrival, actors have usually performed in "shared light", meaning the performers can see the audience, who feel more involved, as they would have done in Shakespeare's day.
Mr Constable added: "The Globe was reconstructed as a radical experiment to explore the conditions within which Shakespeare and his contemporaries worked, and we believe this should continue to be the central tenet of our work.
"Whilst the realisation of Emma's vision has been a vital part of our continuing experimentation as a theatre, we have now concluded that a predominant use of contemporary sound and lighting technology will not enable us to optimise further experimentation in our unique theatre spaces and the playing conditions which they offer."
In a statement, Rice said: "I have had a wonderful time creatively here at the Globe, but I respect the board's decision for its future direction."
The Times recently published an article headlined: "The Globe has been a success story - and Emma Rice is wrecking it."
In a review of a recent reworking of Cymbeline, set in modern gangland Britain, The Telegraph's Dominic Cavendish wrote: "I can't see what this version is doing at Shakespeare's Globe, or, if this form of hacking about with the canon is to be the new norm under artistic director Emma Rice, what the point of the Globe now is."
In a review of the same show, the Financial Times's Ian Shuttleworth asked: "One wonders - in what has already become a mantra during Emma Rice's first season at its helm - what the hell it's doing at the Globe."
But The Guardian's Lyn Gardner said Rice was "not ignoring tradition but boldly investigating how the theatre can remain relevant for modern audiences".
Rice recently said the way people have talked about her since she took over the theatre has made her "blood boil" because critics did not use the same language about men.
Rice replaced Dominic Dromgoole when she arrived from the innovative and acclaimed theatre company Kneehigh. She will leave the Globe following its 2017/18 winter season.

Back in 1903, scientists decided that the dinosaur that was known as Brontosaurus was too similar - because of it's long neck -to another species called the Apatosaurus.
So the Brontosaurus was declared extinct because they were both thought to be from the same species.
Now a team of experts from Portugal have decided they did show enough differences to be classed as two different species. So Brontosaurus is back!
The problems began at the end of the 1800s.
The general public were really interested in dinosaurs, and so people in America raced against each other to find new fossils and discover new species.
It was known as 'the bone wars', and fossil hunters were desperate to get their names in the record books by naming new dinosaurs.
On one expedition in the US, Othniel Charles Marsh and his team discovered fossils of what they thought were two long-necked dinosaurs.
They called one Apatosaurus, and one Brontosaurus.
But later, a museum in America decided those two fossils were actually the same species. And so Apatosaurus stuck...and Brontosaurus was no more.
Until today.
But even though it wasn't accurate, the Brontosaurus has been one of the most famous dinos on the planet.
It's one of the first names that comes up when people think of ancient creatures.
But why?
Historians think the name just stuck when there was so much public interest in dinosaurs over a hundred years ago.
About 100 million years ago, the oceans warmed up, polar ice melted and sea levels rose to unprecedented heights.
Scientists say the ichthyosaurs, or "fish lizards", could not adapt to the new conditions, spelling their demise.
The research is the latest twist in the mystery of how and why the predators disappeared.
Evidence suggests their extinction about 100 million years ago was driven by intense climate change and their inability to adapt to the changing world.
"Our results support a growing body of evidence revealing that rising sea levels and sea temperatures profoundly reorganised marine ecosystems about 100 million years ago," said lead researcher Dr Valentin Fischer of the University of Liège, Belgium, and the University of Oxford, UK.
"The ichthyosaurs were unable to adapt. They were evolving very slowly during the last 50 million years of their reign.
"When the environment changed very rapidly they couldn't keep up with this change."
During the age of the dinosaurs, the ocean was home to many types of ichthyosaur.
The marine predators evolved a streamlined body like a dolphin and were built for speed, feeding on fish and squid.
Ichthyosaurs endured for millions of years. They appeared in the Triassic, reached their peak in the Jurassic, then disappeared in the Cretaceous - several million years before the last dinosaurs died out.
Past explanations for their disappearance have focussed on their food supply, which may have dwindled as other marine animals such as sharks and bony fishes appeared.
The researchers - from the UK, Belgium, France and Russia - think this was just one factor in the animal's demise.
After drawing up a detailed family tree of the evolution of ichthyosaurs and analysing the causes of their extinction, they believe many factors were to blame.
"Although the rising temperatures and sea levels evidenced in rock records throughout the world may not directly have affected ichthyosaurs, related factors such as changes in food availability, migratory routes, competitors and birthing places are all potential drivers, probably occurring in conjunction to drive ichthyosaurs to extinction," Dr Fischer added.
Dr David Martill of the University of Portsmouth, who was not involved with the study, said the move to a "super greenhouse world" would have had a huge impact on the habitats of animals on land and in the sea.
Ichthyosaurs shared the ocean with other great groups of large marine reptiles such as the plesiosaurs and mosasaurs, however, which managed to outlive them.
"They [the ichthyosaurs] just disappear while a lot of animals living alongside did alright," Dr Martill told BBC News.
"Some mysterious thing was involved. I think it's still an enigma."
The famous fossil hunter Mary Anning discovered the first complete fossil of an ichthyosaur in the cliffs near Lyme Regis, Dorset, in 1810.
Her discovery shook up the scientific world and provided evidence for new ideas about the history of the Earth.

"Peter has been a central figure in Northern Ireland politics for over four decades.
"In his long and distinguished record of public service, both in the House of Commons and the Assembly, he has championed the interests of Northern Ireland with unparalleled effectiveness, determination and dedication.
"Peter was key to the agreement reached this week and he can be rightly proud of his contribution.
"I have never hated Peter Robinson. I don't think Peter Robinson hates me.
"I think we have developed a good working relationship over the years, albeit we come from different allegiances.
"Despite our political differences, I recognise fully the enormous personal contribution Peter has made, building on the work of his predecessor, Dr Paisley."
"I was very sad to learn this morning of Peter Robinson's intention to retire from politics in the near future.
"From my own direct experience of working closely with Peter, I wish to acknowledge his leading role in bringing stability to the political institutions in Northern Ireland, which was most recently demonstrated in the 'Fresh Start' Agreement of which he was a key architect.
"Mere words cannot convey the enormity of the thanks owed to Peter by the DUP and by everyone who values progress in Northern Ireland.
"Peter has been a towering figure in the DUP since its foundation. He has dedicated his life to the defence of the union and to building a better life for our people. He can be justifiably proud of what he has achieved in helping secure those objectives.
"The DUP, unionism and Northern Ireland owe a huge debt of gratitude to Peter for his 40 years of unstinting public service. He is without equal within unionism for his strategic ability to chart a course through many difficult periods in our province.
"His strategic vision, calm reflection and decisive decision-making, will mark him out as something very special.
"I wish to extend thanks and best wishes to Peter Robinson and his family and good luck for the future.
"Sinn Féin will continue to work with the DUP and Peter's successor and with the other political parties as part of the effort to deliver on the recent agreement and to resolve outstanding issues from other agreements."
"His early career was forged as a right-leaning, hardline unionist so it's unsurprising that we don't have much political common ground.
"But despite our disagreements, on a human level it's clear to see that he has had a very difficult time personally and with his health.
"He has clearly played a very significant part in Northern Ireland politics, some might say in the early years he was quite detrimental.
"In recent years he's been more positive but whether we've really established power sharing as opposed to power carve ups, that's an open question."
"As party leader and First Minister of Northern Ireland he has lead our party and our country through some of the most delicate and difficult phases of the political process.
"There were times when lesser men would have given up and simply walked away, but Peter endured and has worked hard for the people of Northern Ireland. His contribution to Ulster society has been immense.
"He was the strategist in the DUP for many years, so he was masterminding the process of bringing the party into being a centre party in trying to move the 1998 Good Friday Agreement forward.
"Of course he was controversial in the earlier period as far as we were concerned in the Republic, but I would far rather remember the role he has played over the last 15 to 16 years.
"I think in the latter years he has certainly tried to be more inclusive and he's tried to bring things forward, although at various times the messages have been very mixed.
"Looking back at when times were difficult and when Northern Ireland was in very troubled times, I think the role he played at that time was not helpful, to put it mildly.
"His foresight has, without question or contradiction, delivered a Northern Ireland that can move forward confidently, with a sense of pride and purpose; and an overarching resolve never to repeat again.
"He is without doubt a major loss to both our party and unionism but I trust he will be able to enjoy an easier pace of life while still assisting us in the days that lie ahead."
"He probably learnt from his predecessor about not overstaying his welcome. I think he had the wit to go before he was pushed.
"I am saddened for him and for Northern Ireland that his legacy is to confirm IRA/Sinn Féin in government.
"We wish Peter a long and healthy retirement. Meanwhile, he remains First Minister of the Northern Ireland Executive at a time when we share the ambition of seeing Stormont delivering positive outcomes for all our people. We will continue to engage positively with that objective in mind."
"I always found him to be a pragmatic and straightforward politician who was serious about moving Northern Ireland forward.
"In his role as deputy leader to Ian Paisley and then as the leader of his party and Northern Ireland's first minister, there is no doubt that he made a significant contribution to the journey that the island of Ireland has been on.
The Foxes' richly-deserved 3-1 victory in the battle of the top two at Etihad Stadium put them five points clear at the top of the Premier League and installed them as title favourites with every bookmaker.
And it stripped away the last shield keeping Leicester under the radar, despite Ranieri's masterpiece of expectation management this season.
The manner in which Leicester came to Manchester and won so convincingly on their biggest test of the season was designed to make even the doubters believe.
It was an emphatic and mature performance that confirmed the tide of opinion is turning. Leicester are no longer viewed as plucky underdogs but as a club in position to make history.
Leicester can no longer portray themselves as being on a fantasy ride with nothing to lose at the end - there should now be disappointment if they do not win the title.
So how will Leicester handle that potent mixture of pressure and expectation?
Former Norwich City striker Chris Sutton outlined the dangers of underdogs being thrust to the front and feeling the weight of expectation.
He recalled how Norwich City let an unlikely title chance slip in the 1992-93 season when they were a point clear with only six games left.
Sutton told BBC Sport: "The longer you stay up there, and the closer you get to seeing it through, the harder it gets. We got through March and were back on the top of the table and it hit us. All of a sudden we started thinking about whether we could actually do it.
"Everywhere we went in Norwich, people would ask 'can we win it?' We were thinking 'how are we still in the race?' We started to wonder 'what if we do win it?'
"It was a kind of pressure that was new to all of us - the manager Mike Walker and the players - and we faltered at the big moments," he added.
"We had two crunch games before Easter against the two other teams challenging and although we beat Aston Villa we lost at home to Manchester United, who had just gone four games without a win."
United went on to win the title and Norwich City finished third.
Leicester forward Riyad Mahrez said: "We're just going to keep dreaming, We're going to fight for the title and see what we can do."
The pinch points may arrive - but there has not been a trace of evidence yet to suggest Leicester will crack.
BBC Radio 5 live In Short: Leicester City: Champions League to Championship?
The change in perception of Leicester City was emphasised when the title odds dropped moments after the win at Etihad Stadium and the Foxes were favourites with all major bookies.
Ranieri, playing the game he has perfected this season, was ready with the bucket of iced water, saying: "I don't believe them. They said I was first to be sacked - but I hope one time they are right."
The tag of bookies' favourites is only an outside pressure and Leicester have dealt immaculately with any examination they have been presented with this season.
The questions were asked after the Boxing Day defeat at Liverpool - and yet they responded with a fine performance in a home goalless draw against Manchester City.
The FA Cup third-round loss at home to Spurs was followed by a thunderous 3-0 win at home to Stoke City - and when the biggest question of all was asked by Manuel Pellegrini's expensively assembled squad on Saturday, the response could not have been more convincing.
Ranieri's message was always about reaching 40 points and safety - but such has been the transformation in Leicester's fortunes that he is now fending off title talk.
The 64-year-old Italian is a hugely popular figure, a symbol for every neutral's hope that Leicester can fight off the big-spending superpowers and write the final chapter to the most remarkable tale in Premier League history.

He has maintained a relaxed air throughout the season, offering his players pizza in exchange for clean sheets and deflecting pressure on to Leicester's rivals.
Ranieri was at it again on Saturday, saying: "I don't want to think about if we win. But we are alive and we want to fight. We know it's a crazy league and we have to try. We enjoy it and we fight without pressure. The fans must continue to dream."
For the man who was sacked by Greece after a home defeat by Faroe Islands in the Euro 2016 qualifiers, Ranieri will have to deal with a different type of stress as Leicester City are locked on course for one of football's most remarkable achievements.
Yes they can - and no matter where they finish there will not be enough humble pie to go around for naysayers such as myself, who predicted relegation back in August after Ranieri replaced sacked Nigel Pearson.
These were some of my words that will be eaten: "Ranieri's appointment is, at best, left field and at worst uninspiring and unwise. A charming man but perhaps one out of time with the Premier League, having last worked there with Chelsea in 2004 and having had a chequered career since."
Well that went well - although I was not alone. Now Leicester City are being carried along on a wave of national goodwill, with just about every neutral willing them on.
Five points clear with 13 games left is a wonderful position to be in and there is no team playing better than Leicester City in the Premier League.
It is not simply "the pinnacle of the iceberg", as Ranieri calls lethal strike pair Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, who are excelling. This is a complete team effort.
Wes Morgan and Robert Huth, who scored two at Etihad Stadium, present a formidable defensive barrier in front of keeper Kasper Schmeichel, while the outstanding midfielder N'Golo Kante is arguably the bargain of the season at £6m from Caen.
If there were any weaknesses in Leicester's armoury they might have surfaced on Saturday against a Manchester City team unbeaten in seven games before kick-off.
And yet they played with drive, conviction and confidence from the moment Huth put them in front, mixing defensive defiance with those lightning counter-attacks that have punctuated their season.
Yes they can with the title - and Leicester City are playing as if they believe they can.
The first answer is simple. Leicester are the Premier League's form team and have a healthy lead. While others such as Manchester City and Arsenal falter, they are standing strong.
Leicester, crucially, have no distractions. They can focus solely on the Premier League, while Arsenal and Manchester City have Champions League and domestic cup commitments.
And what about their fixture list? Seven of their remaining games are at home and they will regard all as eminently winnable.
After Arsenal away next weekend - and who is to say they cannot win there - they have the confidence to pick up points anywhere on their travels, although they face tough trips to Manchester United on Saturday 30 April and then to Chelsea on the final day of the season.
There would be delicious irony in Ranieri standing in front of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, the man who sacked him in 2004, as a Premier League champion.
Who will bet against it? Not, it seems, the bookies.
Free events, organised by the Parkrun group to encourage fitness, attract thousands of runners on 5km courses (3 miles) in parks across the country.
A parish council near Bristol last year proposed charging entrants £1 each, citing the cost of upkeep of paths.
Communities Secretary Sajid Javid is to consult on the proposed legislation.
The proposals would make it illegal for local authorities to charge Parkrun or junior Parkrun, which organises 2km runs for children, for the use of a public park.
Ministers will also examine whether the plans should be extended to other organisers of fun runs, and to different users of parks such as professional dog walkers and personal trainers.
The consultation says that "local authorities quite legitimately charge for a variety of different events and specific activities that take place in local parks".
It continues: "However, the government does not consider it appropriate for a local authority to charge a volunteer community seeking to provide a free weekly event for the use of a public park, overturning our long standing convention of free access to parks for their everyday use."
Parkrun, a not-for-profit company which organises free, weekly, timed runs around the world, began life in 2004 with an event in Teddington, south-west London.
Olympic Gold medallist Dame Kelly Holmes was among those who condemned the decision by Stoke Gifford Parish Council's to charge Parkrun competitors a fee in April last year.
The council said the three-year-old event had led to "increased wear on the park". But Parkrun closed the event over the decision saying its ethos was to stage it at no financial cost to each entrant.
The government has said it supports the principles behind the runs - community and volunteer led opportunities for people to get involved in healthy exercise.
Mr Javid added: "These sporting events offer a fantastic opportunity to bring people together and improve their fitness too. These new rules will make sure this continues and prevent any council from charging for the everyday use of public parks."
Tom Williams, chief operating officer for Parkrun UK, said not being charged for access was key to sustaining the runs set up by the group.
He added: "It's fantastic to see the government committed to protecting the principle of free community access to public parks.
"However, it's just as important that local authorities receive the support required to ensure these wonderful areas of open space are available for future generations.
"This consultation represents a fantastic opportunity for us all to consider the most appropriate strategy for increasing engagement across our parks whilst protecting their future."
The attack took place near El Arish, the main town in the north of the restive peninsula. Three more died in a shooting in the town itself.
The bomb blast is one of the deadliest attacks in Sinai for months. At least 28 more people were injured.
The army has been fighting a campaign against Sinai-based militants, who have carried out a string of attacks there.
The area has become increasingly lawless since President Hosni Mubarak was overthrown in 2011.
Militants further stepped up their attacks after Islamist President Mohammed Morsi was ousted by the army last year.
Security forces have been carrying out an offensive in northern Sinai, killing and capturing dozens of suspected members of jihadist groups.
Many of the casualties from the bomb blast were ferried to Cairo by helicopter.
Sources told the Reuters news agency that the bomb attack targeted two armoured vehicles which stopped at a checkpoint near an army installation.
Once again militants have inflicted heavy losses on the army in Sinai. The increasingly lawless - and strategically important - peninsula is a battle ground between the security forces and the militants.
Their attacks have spiralled since the army ousted the Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in July 2013. A large-scale army offensive in Sinai has been unable to contain the violence, which has spread to other parts of Egypt including the capital and the Nile Delta.
Sinai is fertile ground for militant groups - thanks to poverty, official neglect, and discontent among the local Bedouin tribes.
The biggest threat so far is from the insurgents of Ansar Beit al Maqdis, (Champions of Jerusalem) Egypt's deadliest militant group. Like the so-called Islamic State, Ansar has taken to carrying out beheadings on camera.
One Ansar commander has said the Islamic state is advising it on how to operate more effectively.
But security officials gave differing accounts. One said a rocket-propelled grenade hit a truck carrying ammunition, which then exploded.
President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi convened the National Defence Council for an emergency meeting in response to what his office called "a terrorist attack".
The second attack hit a checkpoint in El Arish. Three soldiers were shot dead, security sources said.
No group has said they carried out the attacks.
In September at least 11 policemen were killed in a bomb attack on a convoy in the peninsula as it travelled through the village of Wefaq, near the Gaza border.
That bombing was claimed by Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, the most active militant group in Egypt. It attempted to kill the interior minister in Cairo in 2013 in a car bomb attack and has issued videos of the beheading of captives.
The group professes backing for Islamic State (IS) group jihadists in Iraq and Syria, although it has not formally pledged its support.
Alexander Duncan, 59, was found dead in a property in Primrose Street in the Leith area on 19 April.
At Edinburgh Sheriff Court, Tracey McLean, 32, and Seka Ritchie, 31, were both charged with murder and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
They made no plea or declaration and were remanded in custody.
The case was continued for further examination.
They had appealed for help to identify the woman who fell from Canal Bridge on Slateford Road at about 14:50 on Saturday.
The woman, who was pronounced dead at the scene, was not carrying any identification.
Police said there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding her death.
A spokesman said no further details would be released just now and thanked the public for their help.
An Israeli parole board ruled on Sunday that Katsav, 71, could walk free next week after serving five of his seven-year term.
Two previous parole requests had been rejected.
Katsav resigned from the largely ceremonial post in 2007 after being charged with rape and sexual harassment.
He has repeatedly professed his innocence.
Katsav's lawyer, Zion Amir, said his client burst into tears on hearing the news.
"It was a very long journey," he told Israeli army radio.
"Today that journey reached its end with a reasoned decision by the parole committee."
In November 2011, Israel's Supreme Court unanimously upheld Katsav's conviction for raping a former employee when he was a cabinet minister in the 1990s, and for sexually harassing two other women while president.
Katsav was born in Iran and became the first Israeli president to come from a Muslim country. He became a Likud party MP in 1977 at the age of 30.
The Justice Select Committee said without support from a lawyer, victims found it difficult to leave abusive partners and were open to intimidation.
Its report criticised the government's legal aid changes and said they had "harmed access to justice" for some.
The Ministry of Justice said legal aid is available where it is needed and the reforms were kept "under close review".
The Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (Laspo) removed legal aid from private family law, but those who can provide evidence of domestic violence are still eligible.
This evidence must be from no more than two years ago.
The committee heard that this requirement "presented problems for victims", as a court case could happen long after a relationship breakdown.
Clare Laxton, public policy officer at charity Women's Aid, told the committee that some of the most common forms of domestic abuse, including emotional and psychological abuse, are difficult to evidence.
The committee said the Ministry of Justice had failed in three of its four objectives for Laspo.
There had been a "significant rise" in litigants in person, the Ministry of Justice had "failed to target legal aid" to those who need it most, and it had failed to prove that it was better overall value for money, the report said - although savings had been made.
Recommendations from the committee included better information from the government on eligibility for legal aid.
Committee chairman Sir Alan Beith said while the Ministry of Justice had successfully made savings, this had "limited access to justice for some of those who need legal aid the most".
He said it was "vitally important" the Ministry of Justice remedied this.
Jenny Beck, co-chairwoman of the Legal Aid Practitioners Group, said that it was difficult for people in crisis to obtain legal advice because of "unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles".
"The cuts to the legal aid system have resulted in barriers to justice for ordinary people," she said.
Gillian Guy, chief executive of Citizens Advice, said abuse victims face "overwhelming challenges" because of restrictions on legal aid.
"It is unacceptable that victims are left to shoulder the burden of obtaining evidence in order to protect their children or separate from their abuser," she said.
"Paying legal aid contributions or meeting evidence requirements that mainly focus on physical abuse create extra barriers to justice for victims of financial abuse."
A Ministry of Justice spokesman said legal aid was a "vital part" of the justice system.
"We protected civil legal aid so it remains available where legal help and advice is most needed," he said.
"It is entirely untrue to allege people who are eligible for legal aid under Laspo did not get it.
"We are keeping these reforms under close review and have already made changes to address issues raised.
"We are also undertaking a comprehensive research programme to better understand why people choose to go court and how they deal with legal problems."
The Royal College of Nursing poll of 6,000 nurses found 17.3% of their hours were spent on tasks such as filing, photocopying and ordering supplies.
Most reported the amount of paperwork was getting worse and was now stopping them providing direct patient care.
The government has said it wants to reduce bureaucracy by a third.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has already announced a review of bureaucracy, which is being carried out by the NHS Confederation and is due to report back in the coming months.
NHS Confederation chief executive Mike Farrar said: "We recognise very much the survey and we are concerned about it. I think it's critical that we make sure our staff have got the maximum amount of time to be with our patients.
"We're still doing far too much on paper, far too much duplication and it really is taking away the time nurses could have with patients."
The union said its survey showed a culture of "ticking boxes" had developed.
The survey, which is being released on the eve of the start of the RCN's annual conference on Monday, also found more than a quarter of nurses said their workplace did not have a ward clerk or administrative assistant to help with clerical duties.
RCN general secretary Peter Carter said: "These figures prove what a shocking amount of a nurse's time is being wasted on unnecessary paperwork and bureaucracy.
"Yes, some paperwork is essential and nurses will continue to do this, but patients want their nurses by their bedside, not ticking boxes."
The union's Janet Davies said: "Ordering supplies and ordering food is a terrible waste of a nurse's salary and nursing skills when actually you could have an admin assistant doing that routine work."
District nurse Irene Macpherson, from Inverkip, Renfrewshire, said: "I am sick to the back teeth of demands on my time, and that of my staff, which mean that other staff in the organisation can tick a box to say they are doing their jobs.
"We now have to fill out an assessment page which doesn't reflect the work that the nurses do. For example, we have to draw maps of the number of steps or actions we take to find a piece of equipment and then work out a quicker way of doing it, by better organising our work area."
Labour says the current government should take the blame for the nurses' increased workload.
Shadow health minister Andrew Gwynne said: "David Cameron is cutting the NHS front line and wasting billions on a chaotic re-organisation, leaving hospitals to operate without enough staff.
"Now form-filling is taking nurses away from their patients for longer and longer."
Samuelsen, 19, has made two substitute appearances for the Hammers in Europa League fixtures, making his debut in the July 2015 win against Birkirkara.

Charteris could play alongside five France squad members for Racing at Grenoble in the Top 14 on Saturday.
Six days later Wales play France as Warren Gatland's team bid for a potential title decider with England.
"They (Racing players) are all coming back full of confidence and very happy with the new regime," said Charteris.
He helped Wales draw with Ireland and beat Scotland in the opening two rounds while France saw off Italy before beating Ireland by a point.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Charteris says French players' mindset "is a lot more positive than it had been under the previous coaches".
He added: "It will make them a better team and it certainly won't be easy against them."
The former Newport Gwent Dragons captain says while France's tight play will again be a major obstacle, Wales' pack have improved.
"We know that any French team prides itself on their scrum - that doesn't change," said Charteris.
"We know that we have got to step up or keep things up, but I genuinely feel as a pack of forwards we have raised the bar, not only in the scrum, but defensively at line-out time as well.
"We didn't give Scotland any sort of change or platform to work from, which was hugely pleasing."
In the meantime Wales coach Warren Gatland faces an anxious weekend with the players based outside Wales due to play in domestic matches while his Wales-based players will be rested before the game against France.
Apart from Charteris in France, centre Jonathan Davies could also be in action for Clermont Auvergne.
In the Aviva Premiership, Jamie Roberts (Harlequins), Rhys Priestland and Dominic Day (Bath), Bradley Davies (Wasps), Ross Moriarty (Gloucester) and Tomas Francis (Exeter) could all be in action this weekend.
It is a basic rule of science, which certainly holds true in the jungles of northern Peru, at the headwaters of the world's greatest river system.
Not for the first time in recent years, locals have been dealing with the aftermath of a huge oil spill after a trans-Amazonian pipeline fractured, emptying some 3,000 barrels of thick black crude into the jungle river system.
For the last month, workers from Peru's state-controlled petrol company have been mopping up and scooping up much of the oil that stuck to the ravines and vegetation in the smaller rivers.
No one really knows how much was swept down the River Chiriaco and then into the River Maranon, one of the biggest Amazon tributaries in Peru.
Nonetheless, officials from PetroPeru were keen to tell us how well the clean up was going.
The man in charge of the operation is Victor Palomino. He is showing us how thousands of sacks loaded with contaminated earth are being collected and removed for disposal.
Mr Palomino denies it was a lack of maintenance that caused the 40-year-old pipeline to break, but he admits its unlikely to be the last such incident.
"Yes, of course there will be accidents, that's inevitable," the site chief tells me as we survey the damaged steel pipeline.
"But our biggest concern here is to restore the environment to how it was before and to minimise the risk to local communities," he adds.
This is the second major spill this year in the northern part of Peru's jungle region, not far from the border with Ecuador.
But, on top of the environmental impact, we came across something equally disturbing: evidence that children from poor, indigenous communities have been involved in the clean-up.
"With just our bare hands, like this," 14-year-old Naith says and shows me how she and her two younger brothers scooped oil with their bare hands into buckets.
She says that they were paid about a dollar for each one by company officials.
Their father, Jaime, says he stopped them once he found out that they and most other children from the village had been gathering oil for the best part of a day.
"They fell ill with fever and diarrhoea after being sent to the river," says the father of four. His middle son, seven-year-old Osman, is still in hospital.
Jaime shows me the boy's oil-stained clothes - not for him the protective white suits worn by the company employees.
In a statement PetroPeru said it explicitly prohibited the employment of children at the operations centre where it did hire local workers to help in the cleanup.
But the company said it would look into the allegations.
Back out on the river, I watched a small army of workers hard at work removing oil-stained vegetation and debris.
The company insists that no expense and no amount of human effort will be spared to clean up this oil spill within a month.
But the effects will last much longer.
There is a state of emergency that means locals cannot use the water or fish in it for four months.
This is a waterway on which their very lives depend.
In the indigenous village of Nazareth, where many locals still live in traditional huts and eke out a subsistence living, one woman shows me her ruined, oil-stained fishing nets.
"It's a disaster for our community," Elemina tells me in her native Achuar language.
With part of their land now contaminated, locals say oil has brought nothing but trouble to the region.
Environmental campaigners who work with Peru's indigenous communities say the combined effect of impunity for the oil companies and a lack of investment in decades-old infrastructure means that the underlying issues are rarely resolved.
The falling price for oil on global markets means that there is not much new oil exploration going on in the Amazon jungle these days, something that many people welcome.
The downside is that the smaller oil companies who still operate here do not have the resources or will to update and maintain their existing networks.
The Maranon and the mighty Amazon it feeds are big enough to cope with a spill of the size we saw in northern Peru but less certain is the future of the small communities which live alongside the riverbanks.
Police said they were alerted to Laura Hewlett-Conway driving erratically along Widney Manor Road in Solihull last month by residents who heard a "loud screeching noise".
She was found on a driveway nearby in her pyjamas and "unsteady on her feet", claiming the wheel had just come off.
The 33-year-old from Solihull was banned from driving for 17 months.
She admitted drink-driving and dangerous driving and received an 18-month supervision order and 180 hours' community service at Birmingham Magistrates' Court on Monday.
She must also pass an extended driving test in order to get back her licence.
The hairdresser, of Ravenswood Drive, registered 78 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath, more than twice the legal limit, when she was stopped on 23 January, police said.
Officers said they found a trail of damaged asphalt, caused by her Ford Ka, stretching for about 2.7 miles (4.8km).
Pc Tony Winter from West Midlands Police, said: "The car was making a deafening noise as it scraped its way along the road.
"One person who called police said they thought the car was dragging a wheel clamp with it.
"It's incredible she managed to drive so far without colliding with other vehicles or causing a serious accident.
"It was extremely dangerous driving and beggars belief she couldn't have known there was something seriously wrong with the car."
Mohammed Miah, 37, of Poplar, was told he must serve at least 18 years for killing baby Rifat.
A post-mortem examination of Rifat's body found 38 rib fractures, eight leg fractures and a broken spine.
His wife Rebeka Nazmin, 32, was cleared of murder but found guilty of allowing the death of her baby and causing him suffering.
Nazmin, who was said to be in the "thrall" of her husband, was sentenced to six years in prison.
The trial heard how Rifat was also hit with the cord of a mobile phone charger and burned on a radiator.
Both Miah and Nazmin had tried to blame a young autistic child in the house, who had behavioural problems in the past, for the murder.
The jury heard Rifat was subjected to "systematic" abuse while in the care of his parents, culminating in fatal brain injuries in July last year.
Sentencing, Mr Justice Spencer told Miah only he could know why he abused his son - whether it was an "angry response" to being laid up all day with a bad back or "deliberate cruelty".
He told Nazmin: "But for your failure to protect Rifat from his father he might well still be alive."
Victoria Nuland has apologised after she referred disparagingly to the EU's role during a conversation said to be with the US ambassador to Ukraine.
A recording of the exchange was posted online, with the US hinting at Russia's involvement in bugging and leaking it.
The EU and US are involved in talks to end months of unrest in Ukraine.
By Gavin HewittEurope editor
The conversation between Ms Nuland and Mr Pyatt reveals deeper tensions between America and Europe.
Washington seems to prefer a deal brokered by the UN rather than Brussels. If true, that would bruise the feelings of EU officials. They believe this is their crisis to solve.
Today's comments and accusations are a reminder that this crisis is far from over and that it has the potential to cause division and tension even between allies.
Transcript of leaked US Ukraine call
In Kiev, Ms Nuland - an assistant secretary of state - said she would not make a public statement on the matter.
She described the leak as "pretty impressive tradecraft. [The] audio quality was very good".
The state department said she had apologised in private to EU officials.
Mass anti-government protests erupted in Ukraine in late November after President Viktor Yanukovych refused to sign a far-reaching association and trade agreement with the EU - under heavy pressure from Moscow.
Russia has been widely accused of using its economic clout to persuade Mr Yanukovych not to pursue closer ties with Brussels.
Russia has itself accused Washington and the EU of meddling in Ukraine.
German government spokeswoman Christiane Wirtz said Ms Merkel fully supported the work done by EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton to find a solution to the crisis.

"The chancellor finds these remarks totally unacceptable and wants to emphasise that Mrs Ashton is doing an outstanding job," Ms Wirtz said.
The alleged conversation between Ms Nuland and the US ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt, appeared on YouTube on Thursday.
The video, which lasts for four minutes and 10 seconds, was entitled "Maidan's puppets" in Russian - a reference to the square in Kiev, where pro-EU protests have been held for months.
A transcript of the whole conversation was also posted in Russian.
At one point, the female speaker mentions the UN and its attempts to find a solution to the Ukraine stand-off.
She says: "So that would be great, I think, to help glue this thing and have the UN help glue it and you know. [Expletive deleted] the EU."

Q&A: Stand-off in Ukraine
The male replies: "We've got to do something to make it stick together, because you can be pretty sure that if it does start to gain altitude the Russians will be working behind the scenes to try to torpedo it."
The two people also discuss their dealings with Ukraine's three main opposition leaders - Vitaly Klitschko, Arseniy Yatseniuk and Oleh Tyahnybok and their attempts to encourage them to work together.
However, the female speaker says that Mr Klitschko, the former heavyweight boxing world champion, should not be in any new government. "I don't think it's a good idea."
She adds: "I think Yats [Arseniy Yatseniuk] is the guy who's got the economic experience."
US officials refused to confirm or deny the tape's authenticity and EU officials refused to comment.
However, state department spokeswoman Jen Psaki suggested that the tape could have been leaked by Moscow, noting that a senior Russian official was one of the first to draw attention to the audio.
"We think this is a new low in Russian tradecraft. This is something they've been actively promoting, posting on, tweeting about," she said.
Russian government aide Dmitry Loskutov, who was one of the first to draw attention to the posting, told the AP news agency that neither he nor the government had leaked the conversation.
Moscow has promised a $15bn (£9.2bn) loan to Ukraine but said it would not be released in full until the formation of a new government in Kiev.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov and his cabinet resigned last month as President Yanukovych sought to calm street protests.

He'll now spend six months on board the ISS carrying out science experiments and trying to get young people more excited about space travel.
Here's how the historic day unfolded.
Speaking from the ISS to officials and family members, he said: "It was a beautiful launch. That first sunrise was absolutely spectacular.
"We also got the benefit of a moon rise which was beautiful to see."
And he gave a thumbs up to his wife, Rebecca, who told him: "It was fantastic to watch that launch today.
"There were quite a few parties down on the ground, so your launch was well celebrated by everybody down here.
"Have a great mission. We love you."
Tim Peake, Yuri Malenchenko and Tim Kopra are all safely on board the International Space Station, where they were greeted by the current ISS astronauts.
The European Space Agency (ESA) have confirmed that Tim and the crew have successfully connected to the ISS.
Now there will be two hours of checks and work before the three men can float into the station and meet the rest of the astronauts.
After a few failed attempts to connect automatically Tim and the crew are now controlling the approach to the International Space Station manually.
They've had to reverse a bit and are 25 metres from the docking point.
The Soyuz capsule is within sight of the ISS now. This is actually an image of it taken from the space station.
The spacecraft is now in the middle of its approach to the International Space Station. This will take some time as the craft lines up with the station and relies on gravity to pull it in.
If you're looking to pass the time until Tim arrives at the ISS then why not test your knowledge of all things space with CBBC's International Space Station quiz.
Newsround reporter Naz has been to one of Britain's biggest observatories, Jodrell Bank, to see a group of space fans who watched the launch there.
They've been telling her whether Tim's mission has inspired them.
It doesn't matter how old you get, your parents are always going to be proud of you.
Tim's left his friends and family behind and won't see them for six months now but his mum and dad, Nigel and Angela, were in good spirits after watching the launch.
We've just got this footage through of Tim's two sons, Oliver and Thomas, watching their dad blast off. Watch the clip to see what it meant to them.
Just about three hours until Tim docks at the International Space Station and his thoughts now are no doubt turning to what he'll do when he gets there.
Luckily we caught up with him before he left to ask what he was looking forward to the most.
Newsround reporter Martin watched the launch with some of you, at the World Museum in Liverpool.
He said: "This was one of the best days ever! Some kids came in wearing space helmets, which they'd made themselves.
"The museum erupted with cheers during the countdown and everyone knew at that moment, history was being made.
"Afterwards they told me how inspiring it was for them, some now want to become an astronaut just like Tim Peake."
After a busy morning Tim and his crew mates will need a good feed at some point.
Their craft is loaded up with all kinds of special stuff that they can eat in space. Leah got kids at the Science Museum in London to try some of it out.
The spacecraft will now travel to the International Space station where it's expected to dock at 5.24pm.
So, that gives us time to chat. If you're wondering what effect being in orbit could have on Tim's body then check out this graphic.

Technology is amazing. Not long after the launch this video was filed back from onboard the Soyuz showing Tim Peake giving everyone back home a big thumbs up.
You weren't the only one to get excited about watching the launch live on TV.
Prime Minister David Cameron put this picture on Twitter saying: "It was great to watch Tim Peake blast off on his mission to join the International Space Station."
The Soyuz spacecraft has separated from the rocket that powered it up into orbit and is now flying free.
Well who better to ask than one of the world's most famous astronauts. Commander Chris Hadfield was on hand to talk us through the moments just after the launch.
They've got all bases covered when it comes to preparing for the six hour journey to the ISS, including kitting the astronauts out in giant nappies.
Chris Hadfield has been taking Leah through why they are needed, and some of the other cool equipment onboard.
The Soyuz is up, up and away! Cheers around the country as the rocket heads off into orbit.
Live: Tim Peake's launch
This was the moment it took off PLUS some of the reaction from back here on earth.
Leah's at the Science Museum, in London, where she's been getting kids to taste test some of the food Tim will have to eat during his six months in space.
Just minutes away from the launch and Newsround's with kids around the country preparing to take it all in. Ayshah's at Tim Peake's old school in Portsmouth where these kids sent their final good luck messages.
The craft's emergency escape system has been armed and is ready to get Tim and the team out just in case anything goes wrong.
Tim is settled into position on the craft and has already listened to one of the tunes his chose to help him prepare.... it's Lady Gaga if you were wondering.
With the astronauts inside the Soyuz's support structure is lowered to get the rocket ready for launch.
Tim has followed the same traditions as every other person who's taken off from the launch site in Kazakhstan.
The people in charge make sure everything is done the same way as it was for the first space launch back in 1961, when Russian Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space.
That includes watching the same inspirational video before launch and even stopping at the same place for a pre-launch wee.
Exactly one hour to go until blast off and the launch pad has now been evacuated. Repeat, the launch pad has been evacuated. Don't worry though, it's all part of the plan.
Following the tests to see if radio communications between the spacecraft and mission control everyone else has left the launch area, leaving just the astronauts and the rocket.
If you're new to all this and wondering just what Tim's mission is all about then check out our handy guide.
That's right it's Leah! She's presenting a special Stargazing Live, all about the launch this morning.
It's called Blast Off Live and on BBC1 from 10.30am. She sent this picture of her in a real space suit from behind the scenes.
At just after 9.30 Tim and the team will try to make contact with mission control - the group of scientists and other experts who are in charge of the mission back at base.
The Soyuz spacecraft that Tim will blast off in travels at five miles a second! That means it could go from London to Edinburgh in less than a minute and a half.
One of the aims of Tim's mission is to inspire more young people interested in space travel and technology.
Ayshah is at Tim Peake's old school this morning speaking to kids about what the launch means to them.
If you're feeling inspired then check out our guide on What it takes to be an astronaut?.
The hatch to the Soyuz spacecraft has now been closed with the astronauts sealed inside. There will now be all sorts of safety checks as Tim and the team look to see that everything is working properly.
The BBC's Sarah Rainsford is as close as it's possible to get to the launch site in Kazakhstan and explained what's going on.
Tim and the other crew members boarded the Soyuz spacecraft that will take them into orbit at 8.33.
They'll go up on a special lift and then take stairs to the very top of the rocket.
If you're wondering where this mission sits in the long history of space travel then check out Newsround's guide to the space race.
Tim left the hotel earlier this morning saying his final goodbyes and heading off on a bus to the launch site.
As he left his son asked if he could go with his dad into space. Unfortunately that's not allowed.
He'll be up in space for the next six months and will miss Christmas.
Kids around the UK are getting pretty excited about the launch with all kinds of events and parties planned.
Check out this special countdown, with some cool facts about Tim's mission, that Newsround fans across the country have done for us.
The Soyuz spacecraft that will blast Tim into space has just finished being filled with enough fuel to get it to the International Space Station. Fuelling started at 6.30am and finished at 8am.
It's fair to say Newsround's pretty excited about the launch. Check out Ricky's bulletin from 7.40am this morning with all kinds of cool facts and pictures about the mission.
At 6.43am this morning Tim, and the other two astronauts travelling with him, put on the special pressure suits they have to wear during the launch.
The final go ahead for the launch was given at 5.30am this morning.
There had been worries about whether the weather could delay things but as you can see from this picture from the launch site there is not a cloud in the sky.
Lots of emotions going through Tim's head, no doubt, and lots for him to remember for the launch. But what is he most looking forward to when he eventually reaches the ISS? The man himself has been telling us.

The director was speaking at the Toronto International Film Festival, where Snowden had its world premiere.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays the US National Security Agency contractor who fled to Russia in 2013 having revealed extensive internet and phone surveillance by US intelligence.
The cast includes Melissa Leo, Zachary Quinto and Shailene Woodley.
"This is a secret underworld and no one in the NSA has come forward," Stone told a press conference on Saturday.
"It's a detective story - it goes into something we don't know.
"The government lies about it all the time and what they are doing is illegal - and they keep doing it.
"This is a very upsetting story but at the same time it's a drama - it's a great combination."
Gordon-Levitt, who flew to Russia to meet Snowden in preparation for his role, said he was interested in the film's exploration of patriotism.
"It shows two different kinds of patriotism - there's the one where you're allegiant to your country no matter what. You don't ask any questions.
"But there's another kind of patriotism that is what I really wanted to show.
"The kind that he grows into over the course of the nine years we see in this story, where he does ask questions.
"That's the privilege of being from a free country like the United States of America."
Asked what he thought might happen to Snowden, Stone hoped the whistleblower might be granted a pardon by President Barack Obama.
"Mr Snowden would come back and face trial if he could get a fair trial," he said.
"Maybe the movie could help."
Early reviews have been mixed.
Variety described it as the director's "most exciting - and relevant - movie in years".
The Hollywood Reporter called "earnest, decorous, and - dare we say - a tad dull".
Snowden was "dry and uninvolving," said The Guardian's two star review, citing Gordon-Levitt's performance as the only saving grace.
"Stone has made a film aimed at breaking out Snowden's story to the masses but it's made with such limpness that a swift read of his Wikipedia page will prove far more exciting," it concluded.
The Toronto International Film Festival runs until 18 September.

Mr Abbas says he returned the money because Israel deducted a third to pay for what it called utility bills.
He has threatened to take Israel to the International Criminal Court (ICC) unless the full amount is released.
Israel collects taxes on behalf of the Palestinian Authority (PA), but halted payments in January.
It had frozen transfers in protest at the Palestinians joining the ICC.
Palestinian membership began on 1 April, giving them the option to pursue Israel for alleged war crimes.
Israel says it has deducted the cost of services provided to the Palestinian population, including electricity, water and hospital bills.
The government made the decision to restart payments two weeks ago but warned at the time that it would make deductions from the transfer.
Mr Netanyahu said at the time the "deteriorating situation in the Middle East" and rise of extremists required him to "act responsibly".
Speaking at a rally in Ramallah, President Abbas demanded the tax revenues in full.
"We are returning the money. Either they give it to us in full or we go to arbitration or to the ICC. We will not accept anything else."
An official at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office told Reuters they were "willing to transfer back to the Palestinian Authority the sum that was returned whenever it wishes".
The decision to freeze the tax transfers to the PA, which provide two-thirds of its income, forced it to cut by 40% the salaries of thousands of government employees and announce an emergency budget.
Israel has suspended the transfers on three occasions in the past decade, but in January the Palestinian economy was already struggling, with the deficit at around 15% of GDP, unemployment at 25%, output set to contract, and donors not fulfilling funding commitments.
Mr Hamilton defeated UKIP Wales leader Nathan Gill in a vote of the party's seven newly-elected AMs on Tuesday.
Newport branch chairman James Peterson told BBC Wales Mr Hamilton's victory could take the party "backwards".
Mr Hamilton said the party had been going backwards, but he will "create the momentum to push it forward".
UKIP's Islwyn candidate Joe Smyth said the former Tory MP "ticks all the boxes for being a leader".
Mr Gill remains leader of the party in Wales, having been appointed by Nigel Farage in 2014.
Deep divisions have been exposed within UKIP Wales since its AMs met to elect their group leader.
One senior party member said he "can't see Mr Hamilton uniting the party". Another said he was "making enemies".
Mr Peterson told Sunday Politics Wales the result of Tuesday's vote meant those voters who backed the party at the election had been "misled".
"I think it's reasonable for people to have presumed Nathan Gill would be in charge and I think that's what people went out and voted for," he said.
Other members welcomed Mr Hamilton's election, accusing Mr Gill of being "weak".
Mr Smyth said: "I think it's a very good thing for UKIP having Neil elected as the group leader.
"As a person he's a true gentlemen, he brings a wealth of experience and knowledge and in my books he ticks all the boxes for being a leader."
In its annual review of death penalty use across the planet, it said some countries were using it in response to "real or perceived" security threats.
More than 500 more death sentences were issued than in 2014, mainly because of sharp rises in China and Nigeria.
However, excluding China, the number of actual executions reportedly dropped.
Amnesty recorded 607 executions in 2014, down almost 22% on 2013. However, this figure does not include China, which executes more people than the rest of the world put together but keeps the exact numbers a state secret.
Executions were recorded in 22 countries in 2014, the same number as in the previous year.
Apart from China, Amnesty said the world's top executioners in 2014 were:
In Egypt, hundreds of people have been sentenced to death in mass trials over the past two years in a crackdown on Islamists. The trials have drawn widespread international criticism, with the UN describing them as "unprecedented".
In Nigeria, 659 death sentences were recorded in 2014, Amnesty said, a jump of more than 500 compared with the previous year.
Military courts handed down death sentences against dozens of soldiers during the year in separate trials. They were convicted of mutiny in the context of the armed conflict with Islamist militants Boko Haram.
Earlier this month Pakistan lifted a seven-year moratorium on executions in the wake of a Taliban massacre at a school in the city of Peshawar in December.
Michael Casey was handed a six-year term after he admitted causing the deaths of Stacey Burrows, 16, and Lucy Pygott, 17, by dangerous driving.
He was over the alcohol limit and speeding at the time, a court heard.
The Attorney General's Office said the sentence was issued in accordance with legal guidelines.
A spokesman confirmed the attorney general had received a request to review Casey's prison term, but decided not to send it to the Court of Appeal.
Explaining the decision, Solicitor General Robert Buckland said he "did not believe the sentence would be increased" if it was reviewed.
Stacey and Lucy were killed while on a training run in Aldershot, Hampshire, on 8 November.
During Casey's sentencing at Winchester Crown Court, a judge said he would be eligible for release after three years.
As the sentence was announced, Stacey's mother shouted from the public gallery: "I do not get my daughter back in three years, do I?".
The girls, who were members of Aldershot, Farnham and District Athletic Club, were warming up for an evening run when they were hit by Casey's Ford Focus in Queen's Avenue.
Lucy, who was from Hartley Wintney, Hampshire, had won a 3,000m bronze medal at the European Youth Championships in July.
Stacey, from Farnborough, was the Hampshire under-17 3,000m champion.
Casey, who pleaded guilty to two counts of causing death by dangerous driving, was also disqualified from driving for 10 years.
The first is that Lewis Hamilton is in control of this season regardless of the mechanical problems that afflicted him in the opening races - and which will have a knock-on effect as soon as the season re-starts at the end of August.
The second is that Ferrari have lost their way - again - and look close to implosion.
Hockenheim was Hamilton's sixth win in seven races, a remarkable run that has seen a 62-point swing between himself and Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg, turning a 43-point deficit into a 19-point lead.
To anyone who has tracked the form of the competition between the two men since they became team-mates in 2013, the deficit Hamilton faced after two bad starts and then a succession of mechanical failures in the first four races looked eminently recoverable.
But Hamilton has admitted that he had his doubts. He said after winning in Germany on Sunday that back in early May he was "finding it hard to see a way through the trees".
But the last seven races have reconfirmed the inner belief he has always had that, all things being equal, he will beat Rosberg more often than not - and certainly often enough to beat him to a world championship over 20 races or so.
Rosberg admitted after the race that he was facing a "tough moment". Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff said the German had had "a bad day", which seemed a fair way of summing it up.
Rosberg made a bad start - it happens - and lost three places, to Hamilton and Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo. He then spent two stints behind the Red Bulls, without ever - after the first lap - getting close enough to try a move.
He said afterwards that was because he had lost grip in the 'dirty air' behind them.
Rosberg did eventually manage to get back to second place, thanks to a bold move on Verstappen in Turn Six right after their second pit stops. But the manoeuvre earned him a five-second penalty for forcing a rival off the track.
Rosberg said afterwards he "definitely didn't see that coming". But seeing as he got a penalty for pulling pretty much a carbon-copy move on Hamilton on the last lap of the Austrian Grand Prix last month - albeit in defence rather than attack - perhaps he should have.
That put him back down to fourth - the fact that it turned into an eight-second penalty when the stopwatch Mercedes were using to time the stop malfunctioned not really affecting his position - and, again, he failed to make any significant dent in the Red Bulls ahead. Other than the move on Verstappen, it was a strangely lacklustre performance.
There have been extenuating circumstances for Rosberg in the turnaround between the two Mercedes drivers.
He was forced wide by Hamilton at the first corner in Canada; he damaged his car and dropped to fourth in the collision in Austria; and he has been beaten away from the line after taking pole in the last two races in Hungary and Germany.
But the bottom line is that, fundamentally, Hamilton has out-driven him. As he tends to do more often than not at a ratio that is somewhere between two and three to one.
Even with a grid penalty for using too many engine parts facing Hamilton in one of the next two races, it is looking very much as though probably the best chance Rosberg will ever have to beat his team-mate to a world title has already slipped from his grasp.
Rosberg is not the only competitor seeing his hopes of winning the world title this year fading rapidly in front of their eyes.
Ferrari have had a desperate month of July, going from hopes of winning races to sinking behind Red Bull to third in the constructors' championship.
Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen were an anonymous fifth and sixth at Hockenheim, a race the team expected to mark an upturn in form because the characteristics of the track better suited their car than the last two races in Silverstone and Hungary.
After the race, Raikkonen put his finger on what was wrong: "We need more downforce to go faster and it will make a big difference to tyre life."
Vettel added that "we think we know what to do". But do they, really?
This was Ferrari's first race since they split with their technical director James Allison, a decision that mystified many in the paddock, where the 48-year-old Englishman is rated as probably the paddock's next most foremost aerodynamic design leader after Red Bull's genius Adrian Newey.
When Ferrari announced Allison's departure on Wednesday, it was assumed by some that it must be related to the tragic and unexpected sudden death of his wife in March. But if this was an issue, it was only a peripheral one.
In fact, it seems that the relationship between Allison and Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne and team principal Maurizio Arrivabene had broken down.
Marchionne has been busy reorganising the team. Sources close to Ferrari say Allison - a man who knows his mind - had disagreed with what was being done. There had been a couple of flash points over the past couple of months, and eventually it was agreed that their relationship could go no further.
On one level, that's fair enough. Marchionne is the boss - and a formidable and highly effective global business leader. He makes the big calls. If one of his senior managers does not agree with them, there is only going to be one outcome.
But the bigger question is over the wisdom of parting company with a man of Allison's abilities, what happens next and whether Ferrari really understand what is wrong and how to fix it.
Even Ferrari's director of engineering, Jock Clear, who only started working for the team in January after a year's 'gardening leave' from Mercedes, admitted that "losing someone of James Allison's calibre is not going to go unnoticed… James was very, very strong. He will be missed but that's the challenge for us".
But the problems go wider and deeper than the wisdom or otherwise of parting company with one technical leader, however good he might be.
There are questions over the general philosophy by which the team is run, the effectiveness of the F1 design group, race strategy and recruitment.
On strategy, the German Grand Prix provided the latest in a series of pieces of evidence this year that Ferrari are in a bit of a muddle. After throwing away potential victories in Australia and Canada, TV viewers were treated at Hockenheim to Vettel questioning his engineers' decisions - just as he did in Baku last month.
During Vettel's third stint, they radioed him to tell him to come into the pits. He said, no thanks, the tyres were good, he'd stay out for another couple of laps. They told him it was their only chance for an undercut. Vettel responded: "The others are miles ahead. Who am I going to undercut?" They said Verstappen. But he was eight seconds up the road, so there was no chance whatsoever of them passing him by stopping early. It was a mystifying conversation.
On car design, it has now been eight years since Ferrari produced the best car in F1 - back in 2008. Since then, all Ferraris have had an aerodynamic deficit to the best, and this one is no different.
Sources close to the team say the problem is that Ferrari lack creative design flair. This is something Marchionne has recognised and intends for his restructuring to address. But removing from a leadership post someone who embodies it seems an odd way of going about it.
Then there is recruitment. In late 2007, former Ferrari technical director Ross Brawn had talks with Ferrari about going back as team boss after a year's sabbatical.
They foundered on his desire for total control of the team, and demands for no interference from then-president Luca Di Montezemolo, which had been one of the secrets of their runaway success with Michael Schumacher. Di Montezemolo refused. Brawn walked away, joined Honda, which became Brawn, which became Mercedes, where he laid the foundations for the team's current dominance of F1.
In 2011, a few months after Ferrari had lost the title for their new driver Fernando Alonso with a catastrophic strategy call in the final race of the season, chief designer Aldo Costa was sacked. Di Montezemolo had demanded a head because the car was lagging behind Red Bull.
It later transpired that there was not much wrong with the car itself; the major difference was in Red Bull's mastery of using exhaust gases for aerodynamic effect, a technology Ferrari never mastered over the succeeding two and a half seasons it was permitted. By the time that was clear, it was too late. Costa joined Brawn at Mercedes.
In 2014, Ferrari had agreed a deal for Newey to join the team. He began to get cold feet when team principal Stefano Domenicali was forced into resigning following the team's poor start to the season. Shortly afterwards, other things happened that undermined Newey's faith that going to Ferrari was a good idea, and he decided to back away for good.
Domenicali's replacement Marco Mattiacci never gelled with Alonso, who was already having grave doubts about Ferrari's ability to ever produce a car in which he could win an elusive third title.
Alonso said he wanted to leave. Mattiacci did nothing to try to keep him; instead signing Vettel and effectively forcing the Spaniard out. The fact Alonso says he never wanted to stay is immaterial; now Ferrari had lost arguably the best driver in the world, the man who almost single-handedly had made them look respectable for the previous five years.
And now Allison has gone, too.
Vettel, it transpires, is not happy about that at all - and running the race strategy from the car is unlikely to increase his confidence either.
Up and down the paddock in Germany, many people were saying that they found it hard to see a way back for Ferrari from here. If there is one, it looks like being a long, hard road.
He died of natural causes on Thursday at a film and TV retirement facility in the city, his manager said.
Young played the amiable architect Wilbur Post, with Mr Ed - a talkative palomino - stabled in his barn.
Young, who was born in the UK, educated in Canada and later became a US citizen, was buried at sea.
Mr Ed ran for six seasons from 1960-66.
Young reputedly got the part when the comedian George Burns, whose TV production company was launching the series, said: "Get Alan Young. He looks like the kind of guy a horse would talk to."
His four-legged co-star was Bamboo Harvester, who communicated with Wilbur in a deep, rolling voice provided by the cowboy star Allan "Rocky'' Lane.
Young was frequently asked how they made the horse's lips move.
The production team didn't want to give their secret away, so Young said they put peanut butter in the horse's mouth.
"I made up the peanut butter story, and everyone bought it," he recalled in a 2009 interview.
In fact, a piece of nylon thread was used to manipulate Mr Ed's lips in the early episodes.
"But Ed actually learned to move his lips on cue when the trainer touched his hoof," said Young.
"In fact, he soon learned to do it when I stopped talking during a scene. Ed was very smart."
During his career, Young also appeared in several films, including The Time Machine.
In 1951, he won a Primetime Emmy award as best actor for The Alan Young Show.
In later years, Young wrote for cartoons and voiced some of the characters.
He was the voice of Scrooge McDuck in Disney's TV series Duck Tales.
"He was an honest, decent man, a pleasure to work with and never a problem," his manager of more than 30 years, Gene Yusem, told the Reuters news agency.
Fans have been offered free entry to the Super League game at AJ Bell Stadium but will be asked to make a donation to help those affected.
It will be the first major sporting event in Greater Manchester since the bomb incident at the Manchester Arena.
"No, we did not consider postponing," Koukash told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"It is not something we could have done as it is subject to the RFL [Rugby Football League].
"It is an opportunity, instead of postponing it, to show solidarity and support to those affected."
There will be a one-minute silence before the match, which kicks off at 20:00 BST, and the club have asked for a round of applause in 22nd minute as a mark of respect for the 22 people who died.
"Terrorist acts are no longer what we see on television, it has happened here within our community," added Koukash.
"It affected our families and killed our children - rugby league is a sport based on families helping each other.
"All we are asking for is for people to turn up, whether you love rugby league or not, collect a free ticket and put in a donation no matter what you can afford.
"If it is a £1 it is a £1, if it is £20, whatever you can afford put it in the donation box and all the proceeds will go to the fund."
Salford are having their best season for a number of years and are currently second in the table after only securing their top-flight status in the Million Pound Game last October.
Trudy Jones, 51, from Blackwood, Caerphilly county, was on holiday with friends when she was gunned down in the resort of Sousse on 26 June.
Her body was flown back to the UK on an RAF aircraft to Brize Norton in Oxfordshire on Thursday.
Hundreds turned out for a remembrance event at the Dragon Circle in her home town from 11:50 BST on Friday.
Islwyn MP Chris Evans said the turnout showed the community's support for Trudy Jones's family.
"I think this is a tragedy beyond comprehension. Going on holiday is something everybody does," he said.
"I can't begin to understand what the family are going through but I hope seeing the turnout here will give them some comfort that everyone in the Blackwood community is thinking of them."
Representatives from local schools, churches, community groups and the council attended to observe the silence at 12:00 BST and to say prayers.
Councils including Cardiff, Caerphilly and Rhondda Cynon Taff also held a silence, and flags on authority buildings were flown at half mast, while people gathered outside St Peter's Church in Carmarthen.
Speaking from Blackwood, Gwent Police and Crime Commissioner Ian Johnston said: "I am really pleased with the amount of people that made it. It shows the support for the family.
"Without meaning to be melodramatic, I think the level of support also shows that terrorists can do what they want but they won't break the British way of life."
Hazel Smith, 73, had known Trudy Jones since she was a child.
"She was so bubbly and full of fun. We are just devastated for her family," Ms Smith said.
"She was really excited about going on holiday, I was talking to her here in town the day before. She was really excited."
After last week's attack, Ms Jones' family described her as a caring person who was always willing to help others.
"She was the rock of our family and kept us all going. None of us have a clue how we're going to cope without her," a statement said.
Ms Jones had been due to fly home two days after the attack to return to work at Highfields Nursing Home, where she was an activity coordinator.
Manager Shawkat Ilahi said staff and residents also remembered her during a silence at the home.
Other Welsh people caught up in the attack include Mathew Davies, 30, from Trehafod, near Pontypridd, who used his body as a human shield to protect his fiancee Saera Wilson, 26.
Rita Williams, from Maesteg, had a lucky escape when one of the gunman's bullets passed through her hat and grazed her head.
The incident happened in Milkstone Road shortly before 12:30 BST. Fourteen ambulances were sent to the scene.
One man in his 20s suffered a broken jaw and a woman was taken to hospital with serious facial injuries.
Twenty-five people were on board and managed to get off the vehicle, which was not on its usual route. The bus company has launched an investigation.
Paramedics treated passengers at the scene.
Greater Manchester Police said one person was taken to hospital with serious facial injuries.
Police said in a statement: "The roof of the bus was completely ripped off on impact. There were approximately 25 passengers on the bus at the time and 17 people have been treated at the scene for minor injuries."
Insp Stephen Clarke said: "Clearly there are lots of people in shock, but luckily no one was trapped on the bus. Our investigation into the cause of the collision is ongoing and we would encourage anyone with information to get in touch."
First Buses said the number 17 bus was not on its usual route from Manchester to Rochdale. It was about half-a-mile away from its usual route on Manchester Road.
Teresa Broxton, managing director of First Manchester said: "Our primary focus remains the support of our injured customers and our driver. We will continue to offer our help to all those affected by this serious incident.
"We have launched an immediate investigation into the cause of the incident and will work closely with the emergency services as part of that work."
A company spokesman said the female bus driver, who joined the company in June, was "in shock" but uninjured.
Eyewitness Mohammed Waqas said: "I was walking down the road when I just saw the bus crash with bridge. [sic]
"Really bad, people really hurt, some people crying."
He added: "Even I saw the driver, she was crying, and after a few minutes the police come and move the people away."
Network Rail said its engineers are on site working to resolve the problem at the railway bridge and the company apologised to customers for the disruption.
The scene is still sealed off at the moment although the remains of the double-decker, the mangled wreckage, has been taken away on a low loader.
The bus struck the railway bridge close to Rochdale's main railway station just after 12.30 BST, where broken glass is still scattered over the road.
Scores of people rushed out to help the passengers on board.
A joint investigation is now under way with police and First Bus, which operates the service.
Eleven people are now being treated in hospital.
Sue Schofield works in a local pharmacy. She said: "They were in shock. They seemed quite calm, but obviously shaking in shock, some crying - they wanted some help basically. We got the people downstairs and off the bus."
Daisy Murphy was a passenger on the lower deck of the bus and said: "I was at the back at the bottom and I got flung forward down the aisle. Everyone got together and helped to get everyone off the bus. But it was so scary."
Flanker Wood, 29, is in pre-season training after neck surgery forced him to miss England's tour to Australia.
He has played 129 times since joining in 2010 and replaces scrum-half Dickson, 31, after one year as skipper.
"Lee did a great job and the first thing for me was to congratulate him on that, but to do the job well I need support from guys like Lee," said Wood.
"He's too important for our team not to have that support - he's too good a player and too big a personality around the camp.
"So one of the big things for me was to make sure there was no bitterness, no 'me versus him'.
"When I spoke to Lee I couldn't have been happier with the outcome. I was a bit anxious about doing it, but he was absolutely honest, very dignified, very graceful, pledged his support and felt like the right decision had been made."
Saints had a "good sit down and comprehensive review" after finishing outside the Premiership play-off places last season in fifth.
"It wasn't a case of biting [director of rugby Jim Mallinder's] hand off immediately [when asked about the captaincy]," Wood admitted to BBC Radio Northampton.
"I thought about all the things that come with it because while it's certainly a huge privilege and honour, it's a responsibility and one I felt I had to do justice if I was going to accept the role.
"There was a bit of self-reflection, thinking about is it for me, can I do the role and do everyone proud?
"I obviously came to the conclusion that with the guys I've got around me, like England skipper Dylan Hartley, Lee Dickson and a lot of the senior players in Christian Day, Calum Clark and the like, I'll rely on those guys heavily but I think we can get the job done."
The 21-month-old, from Sheffield, went missing on the Greek island in 1991.
Police said on Monday they believed he died as a result of an accident on the day he disappeared.
Ben's sister, Leigh-Anna Needham, told ITV's Good Morning Britain the car had been shown to them and her grandmother thought it could have been Ben's.
"She is 90% sure, it is similar but we cannot be 100% sure," she said.
Ben's mum 'would tear up island'

New searches on Kos, where the Needham family were renovating a farmhouse in 1991, were prompted by fresh information given to South Yorkshire Police.
A friend of a digger driver, who was clearing land with an excavator on the day the toddler went missing, said the man may have been responsible for Ben's death.
The driver, Konstantinos Barkas, died of cancer in 2015.
The yellow car is believed to have been found shortly before the searches concluded on Sunday.
Det Insp Jon Cousins, who is leading the inquiry, said after 21 days of searching it was his "professional belief" Ben had died in an accident.
Leigh-Anna Needham said she understood why the police had come to that conclusion but she was not completely convinced.
"Without definite proof there is still hope," she said.
"We were told to prepare for the worst. We thought they were going to find him and bring him back and we would have to deal with the grieving process.
"But there is still hope and I will fight tooth and nail to get to the bottom of this.
"It has destroyed my family and I am determined to find out what happened on that day."
South Yorkshire Police said the investigation remained open and any further leads in the case would be fully investigated.
Ms Needham told BBC Look North: "Every time the phone rings your heart sinks, you don't want to actually admit that they were ever going to find anything to suggest that Ben may no longer be alive.
"I can't say the word [dead], it makes me feel physically sick.
"There's not enough evidence for me as yet to give up and to believe that he died that day. Until I have solid evidence, ie remains, that's when the grieving process will start."
Everton loanee Conor McAleny poked home the only goal of the game midway through the second half after Yanic Wildschut's initial effort hit the bar.
Rochdale played for almost an hour with 10 men after Ian Henderson was sent off for kicking out at Jason Pearce.
Henderson's red card was his second in three games, having been sent off in Rochdale's win at Oldham.
Dale goalkeeper Josh Lillis kept the score goalless with a string of fine saves until McAleny, who came on as a half-time substitute, was left with the easiest of finishes into an empty net.
The striker should have made it 2-0 late on but struck the ball straight at Lillis when clean through.
Second-placed Wigan are now just one point behind leaders Burton Albion who travel to Millwall on Monday evening.
Wigan Athletic manager Gary Caldwell told BBC Radio Manchester:
Media playback is not supported on this device
"The score reads 1-0 and that's the most important thing at this stage, that we are winning games.
"I thought we showed great desire and determination in a game where both teams didn't look at their best, but we managed to grind it out and get over the line.
(On the red card) "I think Jason Pearce has tried to win the ball and clearly fouled him. That's a yellow card in anybody's book. I'd be very disappointed if any of my players reacted the way their player reacted. You can't do that in football, everybody knows that. I think the referee got it spot on."
Rochdale boss Keith Hill told BBC Radio Manchester:
Media playback is not supported on this device
"It's difficult enough with 11 players against Wigan, but when you're down to 10 men, unfairly as well, it probably gives Wigan more of an opportunity to win the game.
"The way the referee came to decision with the fourth official is beyond me, because I don't think the referee saw anything.
"Wigan have got a very good squad of players and are capable of winning the league, but I thought we were a fair match today, even with 10 men.
"I think we're in great form. We haven't had a good result today, but if we take our form into the next seven games, we'll pick up points."
The individual, who does not want to be named, said: "G4S have been appalling."
He claims those in charge of Locog's security were "amateurish" and it was a mistake using one company to supply staff.
Newsnight put these allegations to Locog and they have not responded.
The insider says Locog's event services division used a number of contractors to supply thousands of stewards and that has worked well but the security division put all its eggs in one basket.
"It was the wrong strategy, to use only one company."
He also says that there was inadequate scrutiny.
"They couldn't spot when contractors were cutting corners."
The insider who has worked in security for many years asserts that "at the top level" the management of security at Locog was "thoroughly amateurish and incompetent".

April Reeves, seven, was hit by a car on the A371 while out cycling with her mother and brother in Locking, North Somerset, two weeks ago.
Campaigners said the road through their village was "petrifying" and the 60mph speed limit should be reduced to 40.
North Somerset Council declined to comment during the current police investigation into the collision.
Amy Saul, whose children went to school with April, said the A-road "divided most of the village".
She said: "The road divides the village school, also the post office, the village shop, the park and the town. So no-one can walk to anywhere safely."
Campaigners said the existing footbridge across the A371 had no ramp and could only be accessed by steep steps, making it difficult for buggies and wheelchair users.
Mother-of-four Shelley Adams-Bordon uses the road every day and cannot use the footbridge with her six-month-old baby in a buggy.
Ms Adams-Bordon said: "This needs to change, we need to make our community safer. We hope our local councillors will listen to us, meet with us and we can then discuss whatever we want to happen.
"Primarily we would like to see the speed restricted. We'd like to see the cycle path and footpath moved over closer to the hedge so it's not running alongside the road. And obviously new crossings to keep our children safe."
The £5.7m extension will see Sodexo continue to provide catering on match days at Pittodrie Stadium, as well as operate the cafe and public retail units.
It will also sell and operate all conference and banqueting events.
The contract builds on a 23-year relationship between Sodexo and the club.
In January last year, officials at Aberdeen FC held talks with Sodexo after complaints from fans at Pittodrie.
Complaints were understood to have been made about the quality of catering offered and products running out
David Trotter, from Sodexo Sports and Leisure, said: "Our partnership with Aberdeen Football Club has spanned more than two decades and is an excellent example of how our team works alongside a venue to source and serve quality, locally-sourced produce to thousands of football fans, while also using our events and conferencing expertise to drive non-match day business."
Christopher Chisholm, 31, is accused of acting in a racially aggravated manner towards the SNP politician.
It is alleged that Mr Chisholm, from Gartcosh, shouted and made racist remarks on 7 February outside Queen Street station.

Mr Yousaf, 29, was elected in 2011 as a SNP member of the Scottish Parliament for Glasgow.
Since September 2012, he has been Minister for External Affairs and International Development.
This is why Egyptian football fans are some of the most passionate in the world, renowned for religious-style devotion to their teams.
The visual and vocal displays they put on during matches are very much part of the culture of the Egyptian game, intimidating many an opponent through the years.
Yet while Egyptians may have the rightful reputation as one of the world's most passionate fans, they also have a dark side which inevitably manifests itself when things do not go their way on the pitch.
Egyptian press shocked at football violence
In pictures: Egypt football clash
Fan-related violence is even more pronounced when it comes to fans of the country's most successful club al-Ahly.
Their behaviour on the terraces remains one of the most talked about issues in Egyptian football.
The great Cairo club, known as the Red Devils, has a hardcore element known as Ultras, and they have a particular reputation for violence.
Much of this violence can be traced to hostilities between al-Ahly Ultras and rival factions of clubs like al-Masry and Zamalek.
The rivalry between al-Ahly and the smaller al-Masry can be traced back to the fact that, in al-Masry fans' eyes, al-Ahly have "everything" - money, support, sponsorship, and are arrogant as a result.
The fact that al-Masry's former coach Hossam Hassan is an al-Ahly legend does not help matters.
Mayhem threatens almost every match involving these teams, and police usually respond in large numbers.
When you speak to Egyptian football fans, particularly those of an al-Ahly or al-Masry persuasion, they exude a sense of ownership over their team.
Not only do al-Ahly and al-Masry supporters hurl crude insults at each other during matches, they also dislike each other intensely.
I experienced first-hand the dark side of Egyptian football back in 2003 when covering the final of the African Champions League, the continent's most prestigious club tournament.
Within seconds of Nigerian club Enyimba defeating local side Ismaili, missiles rained down on the pitch as fans vented their anger at their team's performance.
As there were hardly any visiting supporters, the Ismaili fans picked on anyone they suspected of not being one of them, namely the police.
Being black, I stuck out like a sore thumb in a sea of Arab faces. One shirtless fan started shouting obscenities in my direction, thinking I was a Nigerian journalist.
From that moment, the crowd grew even more frenzied, and another supporter grabbed a small BBC satellite on the edge of the VIP stand and threw it at police officers trying to arrest another fan.
Before I knew it, an officer in riot gear had whisked me away to the safety of the dressing rooms.
I was to stay there for the next five hours as we waited for the orgy of violence which had shifted away from the terraces into the streets of Ismailia to end.
When things eventually calmed down, I saw a scene outside the ground that resembled the aftermath of a bomb blast - cars with smashed out windows and all kinds of debris strewn everywhere.
The tragic loss of life during Wednesday's match further tarnishes the image of a country that has produced African legends like Mahmoud El-Khatib, Mahmoud El-Gohary and Hossam Hassan.
In Chicago police shot an alleged shoplifter; a robber shot a shopper in Las Vegas; and a California police officer was injured in a fight.
Black Friday, the day following the Thanksgiving holiday, is the biggest shopping day of the year in the US.
This year it began even earlier amid a trend for Thanksgiving openings.
Twelve national chains opened their doors on Thursday, advertising aggressive discounts.
Some 15,000 shoppers stormed the flagship Macy's in New York City as it opened for the first time ever on Thanksgiving evening.
Pointing at the mobbed department store, Brazilian tourist Luis Figueiro told Reuters news agency: "This is madness.
"There are so many people here, you can't see any of the things on sale."
There were several incidents of retail-related disorder across the US:
Workers' groups have protested that the trend towards Thursday opening means retail employees can no longer spend the day at home with their families, which is supposed to be the point of Thanksgiving.
Some retail analysts have begun to dub the holiday Black Thanksgiving, or Grey Thursday.
Workers held demonstrations on Friday outside Walmart stores in the city of Ontario, California, and in Elgin, Illinois, demanding better pay and conditions.
There was anecdotal evidence that the Thursday openings have led to an easing off in consumer footfall on Black Friday itself, though the increased popularity of online shopping could be another factor.
By late Friday morning, the number of shoppers in many stores was more typical of a normal Saturday than the usual frenetic start to the holiday season.
Downtown Manhattan, for example, was busy, but not at saturation level.
The US celebration of Thanksgiving is always marked on the fourth Thursday in November.
The day after is known as Black Friday because that was the time of year when retailers began making a profit, or moved out of the red and into the black.
Some 97 million Americans hit the shops on Black Friday, according to the National Retail Federation.
Last year on the day Americans spent $11.2bn (£6.8bn).
They are gathered at Sword Beach in Normandy, one of five landing points for the Allies, where scenes from the 1944 invasion will be recreated.
The Queen earlier laid a wreath at a cemetery in Bayeux during a ceremony attended by about 400 veterans.
The landings were the first stage of the invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe.
By the end of D-Day on 6 June 1944, the Allies had established a foothold in France - an event that would eventually help bring the war to an end.
As the sun rose over Normandy shores this morning, a veteran watched, lost in memories, from the deck of HMS Bulwark. The Royal Navy flagship had sailed the English Channel overnight at the head of an international task group of ships.
For former Royal Marine Corporal Bill Bryant, 89, the sight of the beaches brought back emotional recollections of the same time exactly 70 years ago, as he prepared to drive his landing craft to the shores - carrying his colleagues to their fate on land, amid a barrage of noise and chaos.
The contrast with today could not have been greater as he joined many other veterans on "Gold" Beach, amid a festival atmosphere. The sunshine sparkled on the waves, and French families and tourists from across Europe gathered to watch military bands on the main square at Arromanches.
This doughty but dwindling band of brothers know this may be the last time they meet on these shores. For the veterans, and those who've come to honour them, the ceremonies at Bayeux cemetery are a poignant but powerful reminder of courage and endurance, as D-Day slowly passes from living memory into history.
A 21-gun salute and a flypast also formed part of proceedings at the Sword Beach ceremony, which is being attended by UK Prime Minister David Cameron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
A Lancaster bomber, regarded as the workhorse of the RAF, flew over the crowds below, flanked by two Spitfires.
During a speech delivered earlier at a US war cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer near Bayeux, French President Francois Hollande said every man who took part in D-Day was a "hero".
He said France would never forget what it owed them, nor would it forget its solidarity with the US.
And in a speech at Ouistreham, which was drenched in warm sunshine, Mr Hollande paid tribute to "the courage of all these young men who came from all over the world to conquer - metre after metre, inch after inch - the beaches and the dunes".
Earlier at Colleville-sur-Mer, US President Barack Obama said: "America's claim - our commitment to liberty, to equality, to freedom, to the inherent dignity of every human being - that claim is written in blood on these beaches, and it will endure for eternity".
Elsewhere, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall attended a Royal British Legion service at Bayeux Cathedral.
And the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are attending events in Arromanches, near Gold landing beach where thousands of British troops came ashore on D-Day.
Following a service at Bayeux Cathedral, many veterans left to walk to the nearby military cemetery where nearly 2,000 are now gathered.
The BBC's Becky Kelly reported that crowds have been bursting into applause as the veterans walk past, some people shouting "thanks".

D-Day timeline: The beginning of the end
How close did D-Day come to failure
On 6 June 1944, British, US and Canadian forces invaded the coast of northern France in Normandy.
The landings were the first stage of Operation Overlord - the invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe - and were intended to end World War Two.
Portsmouth's D-Day Museum says as many as 4,413 Allied troops died on the day of the invasion - more than previously thought.
By the end of D-Day, the Allies had established a foothold in France. Within 11 months Nazi Germany was defeated, as Soviet armies swept in from the east and captured Hitler's stronghold in Berlin.
The 20-year-old will end his 18-month stint at Celtic on loan from Manchester City at the Scottish Cup final on 27 May, when his team play Aberdeen.
"We've had a brilliant season so far," said Roberts of the treble-chasers.
"In such a special year for the club I want to be part of everything here."
Media playback is not supported on this device
Roberts called the chance to help add the Scottish Cup to the Premiership and League Cup trophies "a once in a lifetime opportunity".
"I spoke to the gaffer and this is just something I really wanted to do," he told the Celtic website.
"I have a great relationship with everyone around the England squad and I wish all the other lads and the management and backroom team the very best for the World Cup in South Korea."
The couple who live at the farm - both in their 60s - were assaulted while the three men searched the property.
A large amount of cash and jewellery was stolen before the robbers discovered the farmhouse's gun room.
The victims, who were locked in the gun room, required hospital treatment following the raid in West Handley, near Chesterfield, on 14 March.
Crimestoppers, which has offered the reward, said the theft of the guns was a "serious cause for concern".
The crime-fighting charity confirmed the robbers also stole a large amount of shotgun cartridges.
Lydia Patsalides, from Crimestoppers, said: "This violent burglary was immensely distressing for the victims.
"Not only was cash and valuable jewellery stolen, but the theft of such a large number of shotguns is a serious cause for concern.
"These people need to be found and the shotguns traced, before any further harm can be done."
The Gran Fondo is run by RCS, the organisers of the Giro cycle race that visited Northern Ireland in May 2015.
It began at Belfast's Titanic Quarter, with two routes: A 173km route taking in the Mourne Mountains and a shorter 58km one that passed Strangford Lough.
Roads were closed along the course, and police thanked motorists who faced delays for their patience.
"This was a significant event for Northern Ireland and yet again we have proved that we are more than capable of hosting international events and doing them well," said ACC Alan Todd.
"Thank you to everyone who worked behind the scenes to make the event a success including the many volunteers and marshals."
Northern Ireland rider Mark Kane was the first to cross the finishing line on the Mournes route, in a time of just over five hours. His brother Paul came in second.
The event for amateurs and professionals is being held in Northern Ireland until 2017 as a legacy of the Giro d'Italia.
Organisers said it was the largest ever mass participation sporting event to be staged in Northern Ireland.
The 23-year-old former Middlesbrough trainee has scored seven goals in 44 matches for the Iron, but has started just one league match this campaign.
He missed three months of this term through injury.
Williams comes in following the season-ending injury to Sam Hoskins and Alex Revell's calf problem.
"I think he is a player who will fit perfectly into the style of play we are implementing," said manager Justin Edinburgh.
"He has some good experience of this level and above, he is a very gifted footballer with plenty of natural ability and he will be a good fit."

The area will hold up to 230 vehicles - in effect a two-and-a-half mile queue.
Mrs May said 8,000 migrant attempts to cross the Channel to the UK were foiled between 21 June and 11 July, when ferry strikes in France exacerbated problems.
Transport bosses said migrant numbers in Calais had risen from 600 in January to 5,000 - and that figure was growing.
Mrs May told the Commons hauliers had been subjected to "repeated attempts by illegal migrants who attempt to stow themselves away in their vehicles".
The new zone should provide protection for lorries and their drivers by "removing them from the open road where they can become targets for migrants", said Mrs May.
She said the security zone should "transform protection" for hauliers.
Her announcement came as transport bosses appeared before the Home Affairs Committee to answer questions about the crisis.
Kent Police Chief Constable Alan Pughsley told MPs there had been a "significant increase" in the number of migrants found hiding in vehicles in the UK over the past month.
He said:
Mr Pughsley said he believed strike action by French ferry workers during that time was a "contributing factor" to the numbers because it meant "easier access" for people to trains or lorries.
John Keefe, director of public affairs at Eurotunnel, said the 5,000 figure had grown from an estimated 600 migrants in January, and the rise was "continuing apace".
"We have never seen numbers like this before and we have not in the past seen the degree of organisation that goes with the numbers either," he said.
He said a secure zone would not solve the issue, adding: "As soon as you remove an opportunity, the organised criminals who are managing the migrant attacks are moving to the next opportunity - to the next weak spot."
Road Haulage Association chief executive Richard Burnett said the situation was "out of control" and criticised the fact the secure zone would not be in place until the autumn.
"This isn't fast enough. We've got drivers being threatened with bars and knives. We've had an example of a driver being threatened with a gun," he said.
"We've got a problem right now. This is unprecedented and it's escalating. We need action now."
The "write-off" of products due to contamination by migrants entering vehicles could be £1bn a year, he said, adding: "There are full loads that are being destroyed."
Last week a migrant from Eritrea died attempting to board a freight shuttle headed to Britain. The death came days after about 150 migrants tried to storm the Channel Tunnel terminal in France.
The strike by French ferry workers at the end of last month forced the suspension of Channel Tunnel services. It closed the Port of Calais and resulted in thousands of lorry drivers being stuck on the roads into Calais. This led hundreds of migrants to try to board UK-bound lorries.
Mrs May said British and French authorities had been working together for months to improve security at Calais.
Some £12m will spent on work to reinforce security in northern French ports, including new fencing and work to improve traffic flow and Border Force controls, which would be completed next month, she said.
Other security measures already announced include a £2m upgrade of detection technology, £1m extra for dog searches and new fencing in Calais.
UKIP's migration spokesman, Steven Woolfe, said the government was "waking up to the crisis" but called for more UK border personnel in Calais and said the UK should negotiate a scheme where migrants can be returned immediately to France if they have entered the UK illegally.
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said Britain's border was the scene of a "terrible crisis" where lives were being lost and people were being injured.
Lyn Prosser, 44, from Pontypridd, died following an incident outside O'Neill's pub in St Mary Street on Sunday night.
Police say a row broke out just after 23:00 GMT inside the pub and there was a further altercation outside.
Mr Prosser, was taken to the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, but died. The ages of the arrested men range from 24 to 48.
A forensic team from South Wales Police were taking evidence inside and outside the pub, which remained closed on Monday.
A post-mortem examination is ongoing.
Det Supt Paul Hurley said: "I am particularly keen to speak to anyone who was in St Mary Street at the time that may have witnessed an altercation involving a number of people outside the pub."
He added: "Our thoughts are with Mr Prosser's family at this very difficult time.
"I would urge anyone who was in the area and witnessed what happened, either inside or outside O'Neill's, to please contact us."
Police are appealing for witnesses to call 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
A spokesman for O'Neill's in St Mary Street said: "A serious incident took place late yesterday evening.
"The police are currently investigating and we are co-operating fully."
A statement on the Beddau RFC website said: "Lyn was a huge character in the village and was well known by many from not just our community but from far and wide.
"He was a larger than life character and a friend to so many.
"He starred in the back row for both the Beddau and Llantrisant clubs and will be so sorely missed by all.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this sad time."
Campaigners hoped 3,000 children would come into the UK under the so-called Dubs amendment, but last week the home secretary said it would be 350.
The commissioners for England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland said they have "deep concern" after the decision.
The government said it was committed to resettling 3,000 vulnerable children.
A spokeswoman said resettling children under the Dubs amendment was "just one way we area helping."
"We have also committed to resettle up to 3,000 vulnerable children and family members from the MENA [Middle East and North Africa] region and 20,000 Syrians by the end of this Parliament."
The Dubs amendment, designed by the Labour peer and former child refugee Lord Dubs, aimed to help some of the estimated 90,000 unaccompanied migrant children across Europe.
The commissioners wrote that the number of children who had come in under the scheme so far "falls significantly short of expectations" and, as a signatory to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Optional Protocol on the Sale of Children, the UK should "play a far greater role".
The letter, signed by Anne Longfield, Children's Commissioner for England, and Tam Baillie, Sally Holland and Koulla Yiasouma - her counterparts in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - called on Home Secretary Amber Rudd to "consider carefully the plight of the many thousands of lone child refugees in Europe who are currently at risk of exploitation and trafficking".
"We urge the Government to act humanely and responsibly, and to maintain a positive commitment to the Dubs scheme within a comprehensive strategy to safeguard unaccompanied child refugees within Europe," it read.
The letter has received praise from Labour MP Yvette Cooper, who chairs the Home Affairs Select Committee.
She said: "This is a very serious response from the children's commissioners. They make clear that far from avoiding traffickers, by ditching the Dubs scheme, the government risks pushing more children back into the arms of smuggler gangs.
"The government should listen to this call from the commissioners whose very purpose is to protect the welfare of vulnerable children and reopen the Dubs scheme now."
Ms Rudd has defended the decision in the House of Commons, saying it had been made after France raised concerns that the amendment could be encouraging more children to make the perilous journey to Europe.
"I am clear that when working with my French counterparts they do not want us to indefinitely continue to accept children under the Dubs amendment because they specify, and I agree with them, that it acts as a draw," she said.
"It acts as a pull. It encourages the people traffickers."
A statement from a government spokeswoman added: "We have a proud history of offering protection to those who need it and children will continue to arrive in the UK from around the world through our other resettlement schemes and asylum system."
But critics, including the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev Justin Welby, and the head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, Cardinal Vincent Nichols, have called for a reversal of the decision.
A legal challenge against ending the scheme is expected to reach the High Court in May.
Nothing else was taken in the robberies, which happened six days apart in Oxford.
Groups of young men targeted VCR Food and Wine store in Oxford Road, Littlemore, on 24 November, and a Londis in Marston Road on 30 November.
Det Sgt Kevin Parsons said no one was injured but that staff had been left "concerned" after the robberies.
Land Rover Bar, who started the day as leaders, won the first race before defending champions Oracle Team USA claimed victory in the second.
The Britons' second-place finish in a closely fought final race was enough to secure a one-point victory.
The result means that Ainslie's team are top of the 2016 series leaderboard.
Ainslie, who raced with Oracle at the last America's Cup in 2013, is leading the team's bid to become the first ever British winner of the America's Cup.
"I think that for a new team to be leading the World Series now is a good indication of how far we've come, but there's still a long way to go," Ainslie said.
"The guys did an incredible job with the boat handling and that's what really got us out of some of the tough situations."
The Philae spacecraft's touchdown on comet 67P was named as the year's most significant advance by Physics World.
It was singled out for its "fundamental importance to space science".
The first detection of neutrino particles from the main reaction that powers the Sun and a new holographic memory device also made the shortlist.
Dr Hamish Johnston, editor of physicsworld.com, said: "As well as looking forward to the fascinating science... we also acknowledge the technological tour de force of chasing a comet for 10 years and then placing an advanced laboratory on its surface."
Philae landed on its quarry on 12 November, following a seven-hour descent to 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
Of the runners-up, Dr Johnston explained that each "represents an important step forward made by a team of creative and talented researchers".
In no particular order, the nine other breakthroughs chosen by Physics World are:
Light on the cosmic web (January): Researchers used the radiation emitted by a quasar as a "cosmic flashlight" to illuminate the hidden tendrils of dark matter that underlie the visible Universe.
Neutrinos from the Sun (August): The Borexino experiment in Italy detected neutrino particles from the main nuclear reaction that powers the Sun. The number of neutrinos it saw agrees with theories, suggesting we do understand what's going on inside our parent star.
Laser fusion milestone (February): Scientists at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) in California made a breakthrough in the long road to self-sustaining fusion when they managed to get more energy out of fusion reactions than was deposited in the fuel by NIF's powerful laser.
Acoustic tractor beam (May): Once the preserve of science fiction, tractor beams are now a reality - at least in the lab. Physicists built a device that can pull objects by firing sound waves at them. The beam could have medical uses, such as manipulating objects within the body.
Supernovas in the lab (June): The Vulcan Laser Facility in Oxfordshire was used to recreate miniature star explosions, offering a window into some of the most powerful and unpredictable events in the cosmos.
Electron magnetism (June): Researchers in Israel were the first to measure the extremely weak magnetic interaction between two separate electron particles.
A better fibre for images (March): Scientists in the US used a physical effect called Anderson Localisation to develop a better optical fibre for transmitting images.
Holographic memory (February): American and Russian physicists built a new type of holographic memory device that stores data in the form of magnetic "bits".
Quantum compression: (September): The ability to compress quantum information was demonstrated for the first time by physicists in Canada and Japan.
The defendants were accused of membership or association with the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), an al-Qaeda affiliated group.
The IMU is especially active in the Afghan-Pakistani border areas.
The convictions and sentences of various lengths relate to the find last year of car bombs near government buildings in the city of Khojand.
Human rights groups have accused the Tajik authorities of a harsh clampdown on independent Muslims.
One of the defendants received a 10-year sentence for sheltering suspected IMU members.
The defendants are all aged between 18 and 55, the Russian Interfax news agency reported.
They were sentenced for periods between eight and 28 years for terrorism, murder and attempting violently to overthrow the government.
Interfax said that all were residents of the northern Tajik region of Isfara - "where followers of various extremist movements are regularly detained".
In 2010 Tajikistan - an impoverished country that shares a long and poorly secured border with Afghanistan - saw a rise in militant activity leading to the deaths of dozens of troops.
Officials in the authoritarian former Soviet nation argue that hardline Islamism constitutes a genuine threat to stability.
But some observers say the clampdowns on followers of conservative Islam is an attempt to smash dissent.
The IMU has been blamed for much of the violence and battle hardened fighters are thought to have gone to Tajikistan from Pakistan, where they came under pressure from American drones and the Pakistani military, correspondents say.
The movement fought in the region to establish an Islamic state or entity across the populous Ferghana valley before being displaced during the US-led attacks on Afghanistan in 2001.
Observers say that official corruption and widespread poverty have radicalised young men with little prospects in a country where more than a million have gone to Russia as working migrants. | Oliver Stone says his political thriller about whistleblower Edward Snowden explores a "secret underworld".

Under a two-year scheme, firms with fewer than 250 staff will get subsidies if they take on a young or unemployed person for six months or more.
In addition, about 500,000 vocational training schemes will be created.
France's unemployment rate is 10.6%, against a European Union average of 9.8% and 4.2% in Germany.
Mr Hollande said money for the plan would come from savings in other areas of public spending.
"These €2bn will be financed without any new taxes of any kind," said President Hollande, who announced the details during an annual speech to business leaders.
"Our country has been faced with structural unemployment for two to three decades and this requires that creating jobs becomes our one and only fight."
France was facing an "uncertain economic climate and persistent unemployment" and there was an "economic and social emergency", he said.
The president said recently that the country's social emergency, caused by unemployment, was as serious as the emergency caused by terrorism.
He called on his audience to help "build the economic and social model for tomorrow".
The president also addressed the issue of labour market flexibility.
"Regarding the rules for hiring and laying off, we need to guarantee stability and predictability to both employers and employees. There is room for simplification," he said.
"The goal is also more security for the company to hire, to adapt its workforce when economic circumstances require, but also more security for the employee in the face of change and mobility".
However, the BBC's Paris correspondent Hugh Schofield said there was widespread scepticism that the plan would have any lasting impact.

Unison said 96% of 248 ambulance workers questioned suffer from work-related stress.
It also said more than 80% of staff had considered leaving their jobs and that 71% suffered from sleep problems.
The Department of Health has said it will consider the report's findings to ensure front-line staff are given appropriate support.
In the report, one paramedic said hospital closures meant they had to drive hundreds of miles every day.
Unison regional organiser Nuala Conlon said pressure on emergency staff was reaching "dangerously high levels".
"The pressure on workers is mounting and the apparent lack of support from their employers means they are suffering in silence," she said.
"Year after year, the levels of stress remain unacceptably high and yet neither employers nor the government have done anything to address this."

Of pupils classified as "white British", 94% are in schools with a white British majority.
Researchers say schools are more segregated than their local areas.
"We would hope for a much greater level of integration for students," said Richard Norrie from the Demos think tank which published the report.
The analysis from the Demos Integration Hub and Simon Burgess of the University of Bristol looks at how white and ethnic minority pupils are spread within schools.
It shows patterns of pupils being more likely to be taught with pupils from a similar background - in a way that does not always reflect local populations.
In London, about 26% of pupils are white British, but 49% of these children are in schools with a white British majority.
Children from Bangladeshi, Pakistani and black Caribbean communities are also disproportionately likely to be at school with children from the same ethnic background.
About a third of pupils in primary school are now from ethnic minorities, but this study shows that below this average there are very wide regional differences.
In seven local authorities in London, there are no white British pupils in a school with a white British majority. While in 71 authorities across England, there are no ethnic minority pupils in schools where they are in a majority.
The study examines where there is greatest segregation, in terms of how dissimilar school intakes are to local populations.
The top 10 authorities with the highest levels of segregation are mostly in the North and Midlands: Blackburn with Darwen, Birmingham, Haringey, Bradford, Rochdale, Kirklees, Leicester, Oldham, Rotherham, and Manchester.
The study does not examine why or how such segregation takes place, on a local or national level, but it says that research shows that this is not simply a reflection of where people live.
It points to research that "schools were more segregated than the local neighbourhoods that they served".
Trevor Phillips, chairman of the Mapping Integration Project at Demos and former head of the Commission for Racial Equality, speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, said this was "not a story of terrible racial hostility".
Instead, he said, it reflected demographic shifts and a pattern of the individual, localised choices of parents about where they and their children would feel "comfortable".
"Most families unconsciously make a choice which tends to line up with their own racial background," said Mr Phillips.
But he said this tendency towards separation had a negative effect, not preparing children for a diverse society.
Mr Phillips said the success of schools in London showed how much children from all backgrounds could benefit from schools with a high proportion of ethnic minority pupils.
Prof Burgess said that although schools "in some places remain highly segregated", the longer-term trend is that such separation is "generally declining or is stable".
But Dr Norrie said: "While we couldn't expect these communities to spread out on a truly equal scale, we would hope for a much greater level of integration for students at the start of their education."
The analysis of ethnicity and education shows that, allowing for socio-economic factors, white British pupils are the lowest achieving group at GCSE level.
The study also shows that ethnic minority pupils are more likely to have private tutors, more likely to attend private school and go to a Russell Group university than their white counterparts.
Last week, Ofsted chief Sir Michael Wilshaw said that there needed to be more good and outstanding schools available to white, working-class communities.
Sir Michael warned that white low-income families can feel "abandoned" and "forgotten" by the school system.

Roger Federer will be aiming to become the first man to win eight Wimbledon titles and the Swiss is in top form.
But, Croatian Marin Cilic will be feeling confident too after surprising many people by making it to the final.
But what do you guys think? We've been speaking to some big tennis fans at Wimbledon to find out their predictions ahead of the big match.
Take a look above.
The army has a total of 850,000 soldiers, while the navy and air force have a strength of 235,000 and 398,000, China said in its defence white paper.
The paper also criticised the US's expanded military presence in the Asia Pacific, saying it had exacerbated regional tensions.
China's defence budget rose by 11.2% in 2012, exceeding $100bn (£65bn).
The defence white paper, which state media describe as China's 8th since 1998, emphasised China's "unshakable national commitment... to take the road of peaceful development".
By Celia HattonBBC Beijing correspondent
China's People's Liberation Army is on a fast path to modernisation. Following years of double-digit budget increases, the military has acquired submarines and naval destroyers. Aircraft carriers and Chinese-made fighter planes are in development. In 2010, technology to destroy missiles in mid-air was tested.
Now, it seem the generals have forged a new marketing strategy.
In its latest white paper, the defence ministry takes pains to outline the PLA's work relating to peacekeeping and natural disasters.
It confirms information on the military's structure that previously was only available from analysts outside mainland China: The names of the PLA's divisions and brigades and the numbers of active personnel they contain, in addition to the missile line-up.
Of course, the PLA is far from an open book; a great deal of information is still classified. However, the bid to come across as a modern, professional military with nothing to hide marks a change from times past.
According to the white paper, China's ever-expanding military follows one over-arching principle: "We will not attack unless we are attacked; but we will surely counter-attack if attacked."
However, it highlighted "multiple and complicated security threats" facing China, and China's need to protect its "national unification, territorial integrity and development interests".
The white paper reveals details of China's military structure. According to state-run news agency Xinhua, this is the first time such information has been disclosed publicly.
Correspondents say this appears to be part of an effort, on the part of the Chinese military, to become more transparent.
The territorial army has 18 combined corps in seven military area commands: Beijing, Nanjing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shenyang, Lanzhou, and Jinan.
The air force has 398,000 personnel and an air command in the same seven military areas, while the navy commands three fleets: the Beihai Fleet, the Donghai Fleet and the Nanhai Fleet, the paper said.
The paper also describes the role of China's second artillery force, which contains China's nuclear and conventional missile forces.
The force is crucial to China's "strategic deterrence", and is "primarily responsible for deterring other countries from using nuclear weapons against China, and carrying out nuclear counterattacks and precision strikes with conventional missiles," the paper said.
The paper also criticised the US's increased presence in the region.
"The US is adjusting its Asia-Pacific security strategy," it said, adding later that "some country has strengthened its Asia-Pacific military alliances... and frequently makes the situation there tenser."
The US has increased its military presence in Asia in recent years, as part of President Barack Obama's "pivot to Asia".
The white paper also addresses "issues concerning China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights", criticising Japan for "making trouble over the issue of the Diaoyu Islands".
The islands, known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China, are controlled by Japan but claimed by both China and Taiwan.
Separately, the paper describes "'Taiwan independence' separatist forces" as the biggest threat to cross-Straits relations.
Taiwan is an island which has for all practical purposes been independent since 1950. However, China views the island as a rebel region that must be reunited with the mainland - by force if necessary.
However, Communities Secretary Carl Sargeant said the failure in tests of four blocks in Swansea was "cause for some concern".
He said ministers were awaiting advice from the UK government on whether to carry out further tests or relocate any residents.
Swansea council said the blocks which failed tests met current regulations.
Samples of the same type of cladding used on Grenfell Tower are being tested from seven social housing tower blocks in Wales at the request of the Welsh Government.
Swansea council said the British Research Establishment (BRE) looked at samples from four of its 11 high-rise blocks which have aluminium composite material (ACM).
The results of samples from three blocks at Clyne Court, Sketty, and one at Jefferys Court, Penlan, come after 149 high-rises in England also failed.
Mr Sargeant told BBC Wales the results of samples from the blocks did not give "the full picture".
He said the Welsh Government was awaiting further advice from the UK government's advisory panel on whether to move beyond testing samples to testing "the integrity of the building panel system".
He said the fire service had given "some assurance around the building quality and standards" of blocks in Swansea and Newport where samples had been sent for testing.
"They're presuming the buildings to be in a good state of affairs and therefore conditionally, as a holding process, they're safe places to be in at the moment." he said.
Swansea council's deputy leader Clive Lloyd told BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme on Monday the council's main priority was to seek "absolute reassurance" for its tenants but added: "The failure of the tests at this level wasn't a huge surprise.
"What has been difficult for us and for all other local councils is that the tests that are being carried out by BRE and the ones that we failed along with other councils, we don't know what standards they are being tested at.
"So it's very difficult for us to respond, and that's why we're continuing to work with the Welsh Government and the UK government to find out what those standards are and what we need to do to rectify this particular failure.
"But that information hasn't been forthcoming unfortunately.
"Once we get that information and advice from Welsh Government on what we need to do, we will do what is absolutely necessary and our residents can be reassured to that.
"If that means taking the cladding down, then so be it."
Swansea council said extra fire safety checks were being carried out and tenants were being kept informed.
Results of tests on samples from tower blocks in Newport have not yet come through.
Meanwhile Cardiff council said it was "actively considering" retrofitting sprinklers in its high rise flats, although a spokesman said "a number of practical issues need to be fully taken into account in making changes to existing buildings before any work is taken forward".
The council also plans to upgrade fire doors at its low-rise flats around the city.
Bron Afon Community Housing, which has three high-rise blocks in Torfaen, said they were all retrofitted with sprinklers. Samples from the blocks were also being sent off for testing.

Pochettino was aggrieved with the 2-2 draw as Spurs lost the lead against 10 men after Francis Coquelin's red card.
"You feel frustrated and disappointed because at 11 against 10 you need to keep that result," said Pochettino.
Wenger felt Arsenal were in control leading 1-0 before the dismissal, adding: "We have big regrets."
Read: Power cut frustrates fans
Alexis Sanchez's 76th-minute equaliser gave Arsenal a point after two quick goals from Toby Alderweireld and Harry Kane had put Spurs in front following Aaron Ramsey's opener and Coquelin's dismissal.
Pochettino added: "It is true we missed a big opportunity. It was a game that means a lot to us and the feeling is we missed a big opportunity to move forward but we are young and I was proud of my team."
Look back on a thrilling north London derby
Wenger was left equally frustrated - not by the result, but by Coquelin's 55th-minute sending off for a second yellow card, awarded after he dived in late on Kane.
"I couldn't see how, with 11 against 11, we could drop points," added Wenger, 66. "We made a big mistake when it was 1-0. Francis knows he made a big mistake and we can't complain about the decision."
Arsenal are now without a win in five games and have just three wins in their last 12 outings.
Wenger added: "I'm very happy with the attitude and character we showed. We refused to lose the game"
Wenger had no complaints about Coquelin's red card, but was understandably aggrieved Spurs' Eric Dier escaped similar punishment later for a blatant shirt pull on Olivier Giroud when he was also on a yellow card.
He said: "I can certainly complain that Dier wasn't sent off. The referee was ruthless with us but not with Tottenham."
Pochettino said: "You could say Hector Bellerin deserved a second yellow card but this was the decision of the referee. They are the bosses on the field."

Spurs were left two points behind leaders Leicester before their kick-off against Watford, with Arsenal five points off the pace.
The Gunners face away trips to West Ham, Sunderland, Everton and Manchester City in their run-in.
Wenger admitted: "I don't know what to say any more about that. Let's see what happens over the weekend. I think we have to take encouragement from this performance and reproduce it until the end of the season and then we might have a chance."
Pochettino urged his side to now be "focused" on Thursday's Europa League trip to Borussia Dortmund ahead of a league run-in which includes trips to Liverpool and Chelsea.
Forecasts had predicted a peak of 17C for Monday but warmer weather has been recorded at Kew Gardens in south-west London, and Northolt in north-west London.
This has not broken the record for the hottest day in February, however - that was 19.7C in 1998.
The warm weather is due to tropical Atlantic air blowing across the UK.
Heathrow Airport saw highs of 18.1C and 17.5C was recorded in Marham, Norfolk.
BBC Weather presenter Louise Lear said there had been "glorious weather" in some parts of the UK.
"East Anglia and parts of the South East have seen the best of the warmth today [at] 18C," she said. "It really does feel like spring is just a hop, step and a jump away.
"But there is cloud out to the west creating some drizzle, so it is a little disappointing here [even though] it's still mild."
She added that westerly winds will continue to drive in cloud and, by the end of the week, temperatures could be closer to single figures, with London expected to reach 10C.
Passengers were initially trapped when a carriage tipped on to its side at the station in Lucerne.
The incident occurred at about 14:00 local time (13:00 GMT) on Wednesday, Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) said.
There were 160 passengers on board the train, owned by Italian operator Trenitalia, which was travelling to Basel from Milan, Italy.
The fourth carriage of the train struck a power cable when it derailed, delaying rescue efforts, a spokesman for Lucerne police, Urs Wigger, said.
Lucerne police said the passengers were evacuated and at least three people required treatment and were taken to hospital. Their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
Services in and out of the station were suspended for the rest of the day, SBB said.
The cause of the derailment was not immediately clear.
That was the 20-year-old Victor Wanyama, from Nairobi in Kenya via Beerschot in Belgium, and the reaction to his arrival then pretty much mirrors the reaction now that Eboue has arrived from Krasnodar in Russia via Abidjan in Ivory Coast.
In the vacuum, there's a furious search for information about his back story, just as there was with Wanyama; a frantic retweeting of morsels of video, a mad hunt for players and managers who know anything about him and the life he leads.
We know the outline of Eboue's tale, but that's about it. He's only 19, has already nailed down a position as a central midfielder in what is currently Russia's fourth best team, has started six out of six Europa League ties this season, assisting in two goals, and has been picked in training squads for his country.
He hasn't yet been capped - and he won't be playing in the African Cup of Nations this month - but he's closing in on international recognition. Some say he's at his best as a defensive midfielder, others say that he is, or will be, good enough to play at a very high level as a holding midfielder or an attacking midfielder or a combination of both.
In November, he sat on the bench while the Ivory Coast played Paul Pogba's France in a friendly in Lens. For such a young player in such a new and exacting environment there is just one guarantee about his move to Glasgow - his pedigree is enough to quicken the pulse of any Celtic fan. A teenager with his kind of CV will have them dreaming of what might be in Europe in the coming seasons.
Eboue is a Champions League signing, a player tasked with the job of bringing more energy and physicality to the holding midfield role. That lack of intensity was glaringly obvious against Borussia Monchengladbach in Glasgow. The memory of it may have played on a loop in Brendan Rodgers' head these past few months.
More than any other, the one person who'll be looking over his shoulder at Eboue is Nir Bitton, who has slipped off the radar a little at Parkhead.
Bitton played in that Monchengladbach game and played again in the League Cup semi-final victory over Rangers at Hampden. He was taken off after an hour against Rangers and has only started once since then.
On his day, Bitton is still capable of excellence, but you wonder where he fits in now. Rodgers has Scott Brown, Callum McGregor and Eboue, if he lives up to his new manager's expectations, as his main midfield buffers. Bitton is behind them, seemingly drifting in importance.
There were times in Rodgers' recent career when supporters used to block their eyes when he was linked with a player, fearing another mishap in the market. Not any more, of course, but in the post-Luis Suarez era at Liverpool there were many headline failures.
Rodgers was mocked by many for his transfer activity, but it was a little overblown. His eye for a cheap and hugely effective player at Swansea was razor sharp and for all the duds recruited at Anfield there was serious quality brought in, too.
And it's still there.
Rodgers bought Philippe Coutinho for £8.5m. He's worth multiples of that now. He brought in James Milner for nothing and Milner has been exceptional. Adam Lallana, Daniel Sturridge, Nathaniel Clyne, Divock Origi, Roberto Firmino - all important players for Jurgen Klopp in Liverpool's assault on the Premiership title and all bought by Rodgers.
In the business of Eboue, Celtic fans will hang their hat on Rodgers' judgement - and it's understandable. Moussa Dembele's capture for £500,000 was a coup, nothing less. Scott Sinclair cost a lot more, but he's been reborn in Glasgow.
Rodgers' short time at Celtic Park has revealed an ability not just to find new players who make a difference in the first team - rather than clogging up the bench - and also to galvanise players that have been around a while. Brown is an example of that. James Forrest, to an extent, is, too. The ultimate illustration is Stuart Armstrong, who has gone from nervy cameos under Ronny Deila to dominant displays under Rodgers.
It's interesting, too, that Celtic, though bringing in Dembele and Sinclair and now Eboue, is maintaining, or increasing, its Scottishness.
The most highly-charged domestic fixture is the Old Firm game. Five Scots started in the most recent contest against Rangers (Craig Gordon, Brown, Armstrong, Forrest, McGregor and it would have been six had Kieran Tierney been fit), an increase on the four Scots that began the League Cup semi-final last April.
Five Scots in the starting line-up against their Ibrox rivals? It's only the second time it's happened since the spring of 2009. Rodgers might be spending some money on foreigners, but he's not diluting the impact of the homegrowns.
The combination is working nicely. Eboue now enters a happy and progressive set-up and in Dembele he can see the possibilities. Rodgers is about to give him a chance to make his mark. The rest is up to him.
MOTD2 pundit Danny Murphy expands on his TV analysis of how 10-man Manchester United almost rescued an unlikely derby draw against Manchester City, despite having Chris Smalling sent off before half-time.
City had been on top when it was 11 against 11 and, from their point of view, it was good to see that they maintained that level of pressure when Chris Smalling was sent off in the 39th minute.
Manuel Pellegrini's players could have been frustrated by the fact they were not awarded the penalties they should have been given with the score at 0-0.
Instead of feeling hard done by, they kept pressing forward.
They got their reward when Sergio Aguero put them ahead with a brilliant finish, but the momentum of the game turned with that goal, which came with just under half an hour to go.
The first part of what changed is fairly obvious: once United had fallen behind and knew they had nothing to lose, they attacked with greater numbers and greater intensity in search of an equaliser.
What you might not expect, especially with them playing against 10 men, is for City to do what they did next - which was to drop deeper and deeper rather than continue pushing forward in search of the second goal that it appeared they needed to be sure of victory.
Having been in the same position myself, I would suggest City's recent poor form might have had something to do with their caution, and the fact it was such a big game.
But knowing they had an extra man would have been irrelevant.
City just wanted to protect their lead even if, by doing so, they created some problems for themselves by allowing United a foothold in the match.
I always think that when you are a man up in games the hardest thing is maintaining the same intensity in terms of pressing for the ball.
When your team has an extra man, you automatically assume that you will have more possession, even though you still need to win it in the first place.
But it is easy for players to get in the mindset that they don't have to work as hard when it is 11 vs 10 as when it is 11 v 11.
What usually happens is that the team with 10 men starts working harder than they were, so you need to do the same.
It only takes one or two players to trigger that response and get everyone else chasing the ball again instead of just sitting back, but even then, by doing that, you think you are taking a risk.
By pressing high up the pitch, you are stopping attacks at their source but you are worried about the space you are leaving behind. It is hard to change that mentality, as City found out.
Even when they did have the ball, there were other reasons why they did not just bomb forward.
If they had committed more men up the pitch in search of a second goal and got caught on the counter then everybody, including their manager, would be asking what on earth they were doing - why not just keep the ball, keep their shape and make sure United can't score?
It is a balancing act but City probably just erred on the side of caution too much in the latter part of the game and gave United confidence.
As the game drew on, they got a bit panicky with their clearances and, instead of playing the ball out from the back, they went long early. Their nerves gave United more belief.
Another way City went wrong was with their substitutions.
Pellegrini brought on Edin Dzeko and Samir Nasri with 20 minutes left when he really needed an extra man in midfield to try to get some control back.
He did eventually make the correct change, and Fernandinho did well when he came on. But if he had been brought on 15 minutes earlier, it might have stemmed the momentum that United were building.
United also made the right change at the wrong time, because young James Wilson made a big difference when he replaced Robin van Persie up front eight minutes from time.
When you play one up front with 10 men, your striker has to be able to give you a get-out when you are under pressure, whether that is by running the channels or holding the ball up.
With Van Persie up front, they did not have that. He showed one bit of class in the game, with a nice turn in the corner and a shot that Joe Hart saved, but otherwise it was a difficult day for him.
He was isolated and did not have the athleticism to run the channels effectively, or the pace to out-run Vincent Kompany or even Martin Demichelis.
I was surprised Marouane Fellaini did not get put up there to have some battles with City's centre-halves but instead Louis van Gaal went for Wilson's pace, which stretched City and forced them even further back - maybe he should have made the change sooner.
United still had some defending to do of course, but the longer they hung in there with the score at 1-0, the more they would have believed they could still get something from the game.
That did not happen, but they can still take some encouragement, and not just from the grit and determination they showed.
Daley Blind was superb in United's midfield and showed a really calm head.
Another attribute you need when you are playing with 10 men is someone who is not worried about playing under pressure and Blind did that brilliantly at Etihad Stadium.
He did a great defensive job but rather than just whacking the ball out and clearing their lines until the next attack, he was trying to get them playing and taking a risk to try to build something for United to come forward.
The positives were all in the result for City. This is the start of a big week for them, and they will need a better performance to be sure of the victory they need against CSKA Moscow in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Just like in Russia a fortnight ago, they kept the ball poorly in the last 20 minutes against United and almost paid for it again.
I still think that is psychological, rather than down to any lack of ability. They were desperate for a win and now they have seen this game out, I would expect them to push on.
For that to happen, though, they need to keep Sergio Aguero fit.
He is the best striker in the Premier League and watching him against United made me think he could be the difference between them staying close to Chelsea at the top of the table, or not.
Aguero gives City amazing quality in the final third, which we saw all game.
For his goal, there was his movement away from Paddy McNair to find space and then a brilliant finish to what was a difficult chance on his weaker foot.
He should have had two penalties because of his quick feet and skill and, with his movement and energy, he was a focal point for everything City did and a constant threat.
Aguero has the ability to turn matches no matter how many players teams put behind the ball.
He was frustrated to come off, but Pellegrini was right to be thinking of the part he has to play in future games, starting with Moscow on Wednesday.

In a match delayed from Monday, the world number four beat Mannarino - who is ranked 51st in the world - 6-2 7-6 (7-5) 6-4 in two hours and 13 minutes.
The Serb appeared unhappy with the condition of Centre Court and also received treatment on his right shoulder during the match.
The 30-year-old will face Czech 11th seed Tomas Berdych in the last eight.
When asked about his shoulder, Djokovic told BBC Sport: "We'll see. It has something which has been dragging back and forth for a while, but I am still managing to play."

The match was due to be played on Monday on Court One but was postponed following Rafa Nadal and Gilles Muller's four hour and 48 minute tie.
The decision to postpone the match until Tuesday, rather than play it on Centre Court after Roger Federer's victory on Monday over Grigor Dmitrov, was questioned by some, including Djokovic's wife Jelena.
There were early concerns over Mannarino's fitness, as the Frenchman looked to be struggling from the effects of playing two five-set matches on his way to the last 16.
He clutched at his hip as Djokovic broke in his first service game, and although he grew sufficiently into the match to save two set points, he was unable to prevent Djokovic taking the first set in 37 minutes.
A double fault from Djokovic and some loose play allowed the Frenchman to break in the second set and eventually force a tie-break, but the 12-time Grand Slam champion came through the extra points with ease.
However, there were some concerns for Djokovic, who twice requested attention from the doctor before calling a medical time-out in the final set.
He looked increasingly uncomfortable with his shoulder, flexing it after he double-faulted on match point, before eventually serving out the match to remain unbeaten on grass this year.
"I mentioned there is a hole in the middle of the court to the umpire and he asked me to show him, which I did at the end. He was not too pleased," Djokovic added.
"The courts are not that great this year, many players feel the same. I am sure the groundsmen are the best in the world, but grass is the most complex surface to maintain."
Aravindan Balakrishnan, 75, of Enfield, called himself Comrade Bala and brainwashed his cult into thinking he had god-like powers.
Over 30 years he also raped two of his followers, Southwark Crown Court heard.
His daughter Katy Morgan-Davies said the situation was "horrible, so dehumanising and degrading".
Ms Morgan-Davies, 33, who has waived her right to anonymity, said: "I felt like a caged bird with clipped wings."
Balakrishnan was convicted of offences including child cruelty, false imprisonment and assault.
The court heard he established the Workers' Institute of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought in the 1970s in south London and convinced his followers into thinking he could read their minds.
He warned them a supernatural force called Jackie would cause natural disasters if he was ever disobeyed.
Branding him a "narcissist and a psychopath", his daughter said: "The people he looked up to were people like Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot and Saddam Hussein - you couldn't criticise them either in the house.
"They were his gods and his heroes. These were the sort of people he wanted to emulate."
During the trial she told the court she was beaten and banned from singing nursery rhymes, going to school or making friends.
And she said her father was using the sect as a "pilot unit" to learn how to control people before taking over the world.
She said: "I used to think 'God, if the whole world is going to be like this, what way out is there? How am I going to live? I cannot live in this.
"So I used to think that the best way would be to die."
Told she was a "waif", it was only when she was a teenager that she learned a follower of Balakrishnan, Sian Davies, then known as Comrade Sian, was her mother.
Ms Davies fell from a window at the cult's base on Christmas Eve in 1996 and died several months later in hospital
Ms Morgan-Davies said that night she heard screaming and shouting and saw her mother lying in a pool of blood below the bathroom window pleading with Balakrishnan to "kill me".
She said in the subsequent years she would dream of her mother and wake up crying.
Sentencing Balakrishnan, the judge said: "You decided to treat her as a project, not a person.
"You claimed to do it for her to protect her from the outside world, but you created a cruel environment."
Ms Morgan-Davies managed to escape the cult in 2013 after memorising the number for an anti-slavery charity she saw on the news.
She has since moved to Leeds and started an education and said: "I've been a non-person all my life and now is my chance to be myself."
During sentencing the judge recommended that £500 be given to the charity Palm Cove Society, which helped Balakrishnan's daughter escape.
It follows calls from Cardiff Central MP Jo Stevens in response to the sexual assaults near the city centre.
The city's taxi association has rejected claims some drivers have previously refused short-distance fares.
A 40-year-old man remains in police custody and a man, 22, has been bailed.
In a joint statement, South Wales Police, Cardiff University, University of South Wales and the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama said additional safety measures had been put in place following the attacks.
They said two additional buses staffed by police officers and police student volunteers had been provided as well as three buses which will will run into the night to provide students with safe transport back to their accommodation.
South Wales Police said it was continuing its high visibility patrols throughout the city centre and surrounding areas.
Meanwhile, Cardiff University and the college's students' union have been actively promoting their 'Safe Taxi Scheme' following the first of the three attacks carried out in the early hours of Sunday morning against a 20-year-old, close to the university's main building in the civic centre.
Another 20-year-old was attacked in Cathays Terrace on Tuesday and at about 04:30 BST on Thursday, a 19-year-old was targeted in Gorsedd Gardens.
"Our security team has been visiting student residences to discuss personal safety, while the Students' Union safe taxi scheme is now being extended to staff as well as students," explained the university's pro vice-chancellor, Prof Patricia Price.
"The scheme allows you to be safely picked up by Dragon Taxis anywhere in Cardiff and taken home even if you don't have cash at the time, provided you have your student or staff card."
Students who use the scheme can then reimburse the taxi fare through the students' union over the following days.
But Cardiff Central MP, Ms Stevens said she had written to local taxi firms after concerns were raised.
"A number of constituents have advised me that this is an issue for women travelling home from the city centre," she said.
Mathab Khan, the chair of the Cardiff Hackney Cabs Association, rejected the claim.
"That's not true at all," he insisted.
"Our advice to our drivers is to be as helpful as you possibly can, especially when it comes to lone female students, we say 'Please take them, they are vulnerable'."
Mr Khan said the only time a cab driver would refuse a fare was if the passenger was unfit to travel, due to excessive drink.
"99.9% of the taxi drivers in Cardiff are very helpful," he said.
A march is being held on Friday evening by Reclaim the Night, a group which campaigns against rape and all forms of male violence against women.
Students in Cardiff have been urged to stay in pairs on nights out, stay in well-lit areas, ensure someone knows where they are going, and to "be sensible".
Cardiff city council, which is responsible for licensing taxi drivers, said it was ready to act if fares are turned down.
A spokesperson for the council told BBC Wales: "What you need to do if you are overcharged or refused to be carried is to note the time, date, the driver's number and taxi number - all information that is on public display on the taxi - and then we can take action.
"It is a condition of their licence that they cannot refuse a fare."
Noone, 29, has made 170 appearances for the Bluebirds since joining from Brighton for £1m in 2012 but has recently struggled for a place.
Other clubs have already shown interest in the player, whose contract expires in 2018.
"Agents are talking to people etc but nothing has come up which has whetted our appetite," Warnock said.
"I think we're in a rush with that really, I think people like Craig Noone at the end of August is when others might have a look.
"I think he needs a move and I think he'll do well for the team he goes to, but I'm not in a rush. He doesn't cause me any problems, he's a good lad."
Noone scored twice for the club's under-23 side in their 5-1 win away at Hereford on Wednesday .
Cardiff slipped to their first pre-season defeat of the summer against Shrewsbury on Tuesday evening, a 2-1 reverse which Warnock said did not concern him.
Afterwards he reaffirmed that striker Kenneth Zohore is not for sale.
Earlier in the month Warnock claimed the Denmark international would not leave the club this summer "unless I have a heart attack and another manager takes over".
He added: "I expect 20 goals from Kenneth this season."
Cardiff's next friendly match is against Livingstone Athletic on Friday, 28 July.
You look at your phone but the number is not in your contact list. So is it important enough to run out of the room with your phone held half-up in signal to the others that this is a call too important to miss?
Truecaller may be able to help with that.
"If you download Truecaller you will never have to worry about saving contacts to your phone book, everything will be in the cloud." says Alan Mamedi, chief executive and co-founder of Truecaller.
He recalls his own phonecall-in-a-meeting dilemma as being his motivation to help create the app, which he believes could be on every smartphone across the globe.
"If you receive a call from a number you don't have we'll show that information, if there is a sales call coming in we will warn you about that.
"Or if you just want to make an outbound call in a much better way; by knowing if your friend is available or your friend is on a phone call then you can use Truecaller."
Truecaller uses a database of more than two billion phone numbers to tell you who is phoning you.
On certain smartphone operating systems it will show that person's name, where they are from, and in many cases even display their picture.
It then uses crowd-sourced information to recognise nuisance calls and prevent them ever taking a second more of your time.
"In the UK or US every sixth call would be a spam caller," says Nami Zarringhalam, co-founder of Truecaller.
"People in general get more spam calls than they receive calls from family members. So this is a big issue we're pinpointing and providing a solution for."
Alan Mamedi, goes on to explain how the data is collected: "If you receive a call from a number and we can't detect it, then you, as a user, can actually add that information.
"But we also partner with different data providers to fill in the empty gaps".
However according to Nishanth Sastry, senior lecturer in the centre for telecommunications research at King's College, London, it's this aspect of the company that is open to scrutiny.
If a phone user shares the names and numbers in their contacts book with an app, that then relays those details to the world, it's not that phone user's information to share, he says.
"It's not their own information they are sharing, it is their friends' information they are sharing.
"And they are sharing this information with people that they don't know. That's a privacy issue for friends - who have never seen the terms and conditions of Truecaller."
Alan Mamedi, doesn't believe this to be an issue: "We made it super easy for anyone to un-list their number on our website, we don't require any verification or such.
"This has been the case since day one. It's part of our philosophy that it should be super simple to just un-list your number.
"You just go on our website and then it's gone forever."
Now Alan, Nami and their team occupy a series of plush offices. It's a long way from where they first began back in 2009.
"We were sitting in my one room apartment, which was basically just my kitchen and bedroom in the same room," says Nami.
"We started to build Truecaller with servers that we had bought, building an application for our own mobile phones."
They then decided to release it and within the first week say they had 10,000 new users.
"We decided to start a company and so resigned from our full-time jobs," says Alan. "Since then we've grown really, really fast.
"We have 200 million users globally. Just last year we went from 100 million users to 200 million. We've definitely seen an exponential growth globally, especially in the emerging markets."
Truecaller, he says, also has a few, less obvious uses.
"One of the cases we've seen in India is women who before they jump in a cab actually verify the cab driver who is calling them.
"We with some confidence can say, hey this is a cab driver who's calling you. Or even say if you have friends in common with this cab driver - and that adds a safety layer which we never thought about in the past."
Despite adding 63 new users a minute on average since its creation in 2009, Alan has even bigger ambitions.
"The number one app that people are using everyday is your phone app and no one has innovated in that space.
"Truecaller is changing that. It's making your phone experience more trusted and safer, but also more delightful.
"Our aim is to make a great product that everyone will adopt and have it on every single smartphone across the globe."
Barack Obama's social media strategy in 2012 was hailed a success and Hilary Clinton announced her bid for the US presidency amid online fanfare.
But how effectively is Welsh politics harnessing digital power?
Expert Paul Shepherd described social media campaigning by the major Welsh political parties as "primitive".
"It's active, engaging in places, but there is so much more that could be done by analysing social media data and reacting to the wealth of information held within," said Mr Shepherd, chief executive of social media agency, Coup Media.
He said it reflected most of the digital campaigning across the UK, adding: "It's disappointing because the tools and skill sets are now available to really drill down into what people think and react accordingly."
Plaid Cymru has garnered 16,400 Twitter followers and 15,244 "likes" on Facebook - the most received by any Welsh party.
Mr Shepherd, whose company has offices in Newport and London, said the party had partly taken "the humorous route".
One of its promotional videos, which has been viewed more than 6,000 times, begins with a young man confessing to his parents he has a personal secret.
"There is something I need to tell you," he says, adding after a strained pause: "I'm voting Plaid".
Figures uncovered earlier this year showed the Conservatives were spending £100,000 a month on Facebook across the UK.
Mr Shepherd said the Welsh Conservatives had been tactically "good" at breaking down video content by topic, such as those on the NHS and the Budget.
However, he said the execution was "poor".
The party has 1,598 Twitter followers and more than 5,500 Facebook "likes".
Welsh Labour's Twitter account, which has 6,350 followers, was "extremely active" with a large number of responses to its posts, including celebrity endorsements from the likes of Eddie Izzard, Mr Shepherd observed.
Its Facebook page has 1,482 "likes".
However, a Labour advert starring The Hobbit actor, Martin Freeman, had an "unexpectedly" low amount of views on the Welsh Labour YouTube channel.
Welsh Liberal Democrats has 4,064 Twitter followers and more than 2,000 Facebook "likes".
The party's promotional video on YouTube depicts leader, Kirsty Williams, addressing the camera, intercut with supporters giving positive comments from their doorsteps.
Mr Shepherd said the party's Twitter feed was not as active as others but its Facebook page had a better mix of "pushing policy and attacking other parties".
The Green party's Twitter account, which has 2,787 followers, is a "lot less confrontational" than its rivals and more focused on itself, he added.
But its engagement was slightly lower, "with re-tweets and 'Favourites' not as high as some of the other parties".
Mr Shepherd noted that the UK Independence Party's twitter account, which has under 600 followers, used "a lot" of re-tweets.
He said this suggested the party was "curating rather than creating content", which could signify "a lack of confidence in policy or just lazy Twitter strategy".
Mr Shepherd urged the parties to pay more attention to the way the public interacted with their online content.
"It's all a huge source of intelligence that, when treated correctly, can give you the insights that will give the edge over the competition," he added.
"It also shows the electorate that you're doing the most important thing - listening."
Elizabeth Linder, politics and government specialist of Facebook UK, said last month social media would be "absolutely at the heart" of political campaigning across the UK.
His son-in-law, William Mollett, confirmed the news in a statement to the BBC.
The Trumptonshire Trilogy - Camberwick Green, Trumpton and Chigley - were shown weekly by the corporation from 1966 for 20 years.
The programmes were later repeated by Channel 4 and then Nickelodeon Junior.
Camberwick Green, which was made using stop-motion animation, was the first children's show to be aired in colour on the BBC in 1966.
Murray was born in London on 3 May 1921 - the youngest of four children.
He attended Emanuel School, where he studied Classics - but later gave up Latin and Greek, after which he spent most of his time in the art and drama departments.
Mr Mollett told the BBC that Murray enjoyed going to the Victoria Palace Theatre with his father as a child to see variety shows - and particularly liked the marionettes.
Murray was nine years old when his father died in 1930.
After leaving school, he started working as a journalist and joined the Territorial Army. In 1939 he was enlisted in the London Scottish Regiment.
Having been commissioned into the Royal Corps of Signals, Murray took part in the Normandy landings as a platoon commander, landing on Gold Beach.
After the war, he worked as an actor in repertory theatre, and appeared in Shakespeare plays and Peter Pan - where he met his wife, ballet dancer Enid Martin.
In the 1950s, Murray established a puppet company touring theatres in the UK, when he was scouted by BBC producer Freda Lingstrom.
He went on to produce several successful marionette shows for children's television including Hans Christian Anderson's The Nightingale and 33 episodes of The Rubovia Legends.
His first television credit was in 1954 as a puppeteer on Bengo - a children's programme about the adventures of a boxer puppy.
Murray had the opportunity to become the BBC's head of children's programmes, but chose instead to form his own production company - where he created the Trumptonshire trilogy.
Camberwick Green, Trumpton and Chigley were created using stop motion animation and actual 3D scaled down models.
The characters were eight inches tall, with heads made out of ping-pong balls and clothes out of foam latex.
There were 39 short episodes across the trilogy - all of which were first broadcast on BBC One, airing before the midday news.
The programmes were digitally restored and re-released in 2011, after the original footage was found in the family's attic and in the BBC archives.
In recent years he lived with his family near Stamford and is survived by his daughters Emma and Rose and his four grandchildren.

The People's Supreme Court ruled a Chinese sportswear company must stop using the characters for Jordan's name, read as Qiaodan in Chinese.
Qiaodan Sports registered the name more than a decade ago but Jordan's lawyers said it built its business around his Chinese name without his permission.
Jordan has welcomed the decision which overturns previous rulings against him.
"I am happy that the Supreme People's Court has recognized the right to protect my name through its ruling in the trademark cases," he said in a statement sent to the BBC.
"Chinese consumers deserve to know that Qiaodan Sports and its products have no connection to me."
"Nothing is more important than protecting your own name, and today's decision shows the importance of that principle."
The basketball star first started legal action against Qiaodan Sports in 2012.
His team argued that Qiaodan's trademarks had damaged his legal rights to use his name and asked the court to invalidate more than 60 trademarks used by the company.
The court agreed Qiaodan Sports had violated trademark law and its registration of the name should be revoked.
But his win is only a partial victory.
While the company cannot use Jordan's Chinese name, the court upheld a ruling allowing it to use the Romanized version of Qiaodan, pronounced "Chee-ow-dahn."
A Shanghai court is yet to hear a separate naming rights case.
"War is always more costly than peace," he said in an interview with the BBC.
Mr Santos and Farc leader Timoleon Jimenez, known as Timochenko, will sign a historic peace deal later on Monday.
But it will take a long time for Colombian society to recover from more than five decades of conflict, he said.
The Farc will be relaunched as a political party as part of the deal, which is due to be put to Colombian voters in a popular vote on 2 October.
"We could have grown between 2% and 3% more per year for the past 23 years," Mr Santos told the BBC's Lyse Doucet, adding that the conflict had also had a profound impact on Colombian society.
"We have even lost our compassion, which is the ability to feel some kind of pain for others.
"A country at war for 50 years is a country that has destroyed many of its values," said President Santos.
Who are the Farc?

Colombia's peace deal makes history in many ways, most of all for ending the last of the Cold War conflicts. But it also breaks new ground in trying to balance the desire for peace with the demands of justice which bedevil all peace talks.
There's no amnesty, unlike all previous peace accords in the region. The Farc, as well as Colombia's security forces, have accepted special tribunals and a truth and reconciliation process.
Many of the victims of the Farc's brutality have been brought into the process. If polls are to be believed, a majority will vote to accept this deal. But I kept meeting people in Bogota and Cartagena who said they would vote no.
Fifty years of war also means decades of hatred and mistrust. Many doubt that the Farc will give up all its lucrative criminal activities. Will this deal also make history in being a peace deal which doesn't fall apart?
The peace agreement was sealed last month after nearly four years of talks, which were held in the Cuban capital, Havana.
A bilateral ceasefire came into force five days later, effectively ending the conflict.
Senior members of the Farc (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) voted unanimously to ratify the deal on the last day of their conference on Friday.
The 52-year conflict has led to the deaths of an estimated 260,000 people with more than six million people internally displaced.
"The signature of the deal is simply the end of the conflict. Then the hard work starts: reconstructing our country," President Santos said.
The Farc now has 180 days to disarm and move its estimated 7,500 fighters into disarmament zones set up by the UN.
An amnesty will be granted for "political crimes" but this does not cover massacres, torture or rape.
The Farc has already agreed to stop drug production in areas under its control and the government has pledged to help farmers earn a living without growing illicit crops.
The Farc will become a political party, allocated 10 seats in the 268-member Congress.
Once the deal is signed EU sanctions against the group are expected to be suspended, the bloc's ambassador in Bogota said. They could be permanently removed from the EU's list of terror organisations after six months have elapsed, according to EU officials.
Both sides have pledged to provide land, loans and basic services to impoverished rural areas.
Mr Santos says the deal with the Farc was fair and that it made those who committed war crimes accountable.
Mr Santos and Farc leader Timoleon Jimenez will sign the historic peace deal at a ceremony in the port city of Cartagena on Monday evening.
The document will be signed using a Baligrafo - a bullet turned into a pen - as a symbol of a peaceful future.
Some 2,500 attendees are expected, among them UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, US Secretary of State John Kerry and several Latin American leaders including Cuba's Raul Castro.
Victims of the conflict will also be present.
Mr Santos said he was "very, very confident" that most Colombians would vote in favour of the deal.
"The latest polls say that between 65% and 70% of the people approve of the peace process," he said
But he warned that if the agreement was rejected in the popular vote, the conflict would start again.
"We will go back six years and continue the war with the Farc. That's plan B," he said.
Colombia's second largest rebel group, the ELN (National Liberation Army), announced on Sunday a unilateral ceasefire until the referendum.
ELN leaders have publicly expressed their wish to engage in their own peace process with the Colombian government.

Eliza Wasni, 16, appeared in court on Wednesday, the day after Grant Nelson was found in a pool of his own blood outside an apartment building.
The Uber driver was attacked minutes after he had picked Ms Wasni up from a Walmart store, prosecutors said.
He managed to escape, but died later in hospital after undergoing surgery.
Ms Wasni, who has been charged as an adult, tried to flee in his blood-covered car but crashed, and continued on foot, wearing just her bra and leggings.
She was found hiding near an air-conditioning unit, still clinging to the machete and knife - which she only dropped after being Tasered.
Ms Wasni had called for an Uber to pick her up from the store in Skokie, north of Chicago, at about 03:00 local time (08:00 GMT), despite not being old enough to use the service.
She was also accused of stealing the weapons from the store.
Assistant state attorney Michelle Cunningham told reporters Mr Nelson, 34, had been able to give a description of his attackers to police after they found him "laying in the grass, bleeding from multiple deep stab and hacking wounds to his arms, side, head and chest".
Judge Michael Hood called the crime "extremely violent", according to the Chicago Tribune, and ordered Ms Wasni to be held without bail.
According to a Reuters report, Blackberry's management is considering taking the company private, which means buying out existing shareholders.
Going private would allow the company to reorganise its business without the pressure of shareholder scrutiny.
Blackberry has been losing money after failing to keep up with its rivals.
Last month the company's chief executive said that Blackberry was on the right and track, but needed more time to fix its problems.
If Blackberry decided to go private it would have to find partners who could raise the billions of dollars need to buy out existing shareholders.
That could prove difficult as the company has been struggling.
In its most recent quarter, Blackberry lost $84m (£54m) and expects to lose more money in the three months to the end of August.
Blackberry launched two all-new smartphones this year, the touchscreen Z10 device, followed by the Q10, with a mini keyboard favoured by many Blackberry users.
But some analysts have been disappointed by the sales of Blackberry's new phones.
Blackberry's managers will have noted the experience of computer maker Dell.
Founder Michael Dell is trying to buy out shareholders to help reorganise the firm.
But the plan resulted in a painful struggle with some shareholders accusing him and his partners of undervaluing their shares.
Let's start with the biggie - is there a Brexit effect that is frightening workers off from the British economy?
Anecdotally, many of us who report on this field have picked up these stories. I spoke to a lot of Eastern European workers around the time of the general election who were rather nervous but somewhat resigned to Brexit. But not many of them suggested to me they were going to get on the first budget flight back home.
But today's data gives us a really good glimpse into the thousands of individual decisions that ordinary people make about their future.
Net migration - that's the difference between the number of immigrants coming in for a year or more and the number of people who emigrate - has fallen substantially since the referendum. In March 2016, weeks out from the vote, it stood at almost 330,000.
Today it is 81,000 down at 246,000 people - the lowest it has been for three years.
The estimates from the Office for National Statistics show that two-thirds of this fall in net migration is accounted for by changes in EU migration, and particularly by citizens of Eastern and Central Europe.
In the year to the end of March, fewer EU nationals arrived to live in the UK than in the previous 12 months - and there was an acceleration in the numbers leaving.
81,000
decrease in net migration
246,000
net migration to the UK, lowest figure for three years
Net EU migration fell by 51,000
'EU8' emigration rose by 17,000
When you look at the figures for the 10 nations of Eastern and Central Europe, we can see that 62,000 of their citizens said "do widzenia" ("goodbye") to the UK while 26,000 fewer of them arrived.
When you drill down further, net migration from the A8 nations (Poland and others which joined the EU in 2004) has dropped very sharply. In the year to March 2016, 39,000 more of these citizens arrived than left. In the year to March 2017, that had crashed to just 7,000.
Interestingly, notes Prof Jonathan Portes of King's College London, these figures show, for the first time, a stabilising of arrivals from the eight Eastern European nations - and that suggests they no longer regard the UK as as attractive as it once was.
"Net migration from the A8 countries, which joined the EU in 2004, is now statistically insignificant for the first time since then," he says.
"Moreover, figures for National Insurance registrations, which measure new arrivals registering to work, also fell, with the number of EU nationals registering in April to June falling more than 12% on the same period a year earlier.
"These statistics confirm that Brexit is having a significant impact on migration flows, even before we have left the EU or any changes are made to law or policy."
For its part, the ONS is cautioning that it's too early to say this is a long-term trend. So are there other factors beyond a suspected Brexit effect?
Since the Brexit referendum, the falls in the pound on currency markets mean that money made in the UK buys less back home.
This is really important for workers who are sending cash back to their families - and a decisive factor in decisions to move all around the world.
Last June, the pound bought almost 6 Polish zlotys. Today, it buys only 4.6 zlotys.
What's more, when people choose to move to another country, they're not just looking at the circumstances there, but, fairly obviously, at the conditions at home.
And there is no doubt that for some EU workers, coming to the UK isn't the slam-dunk deal it once was.
The Polish economy, for example, has one of the strongest growth rates in the EU and its government is lobbying workers to stay at home, rather than take their skills elsewhere.
Whatever the precise factors, the government will want to present all this as a victory for its strategy and progress towards its net migration target.
And while campaigners for falls will be buoyed by the statistics - some are urging caution.
"This is a step forward but it is largely good fortune," says Lord Green, chairman of Migrationwatch UK.
"It is mainly due to a reduction in the huge net inflow of East Europeans from 100,000 to 50,000. This should not obscure the fact that migration remains at an unacceptable level of a quarter of a million a year with massive implications for the scale and nature of our society."
That's a pointer to the scale of the challenge ministers still face, if they are determined to stick to their target. Net migration from the rest of the world still stands at 180,000 people a year - and that is the one part of policy that the UK can currently completely control.
The August figures have also revealed some fascinating truths about migration, and people's intentions, that until now have been subjected to myth, fears and an awful lot of speculation - do people leave the UK when they should?
Well, we don't really know - or at least we didn't until now. The ONS uses a large rolling survey at ports to estimate immigration and emigration - but it's only as good as a survey can be - it has limitations.
Now, we have "exit checks" data - figures derived from the scans of passports and so on as people leave the UK at our ports.
And the figures from the Home Office show, for the first time, that the vast majority of visitors to the UK who require a visa leave the UK when they should.
Some 1.34 million visas granted to non-EEA nationals expired in 2016-17. Of those people who had not already secured a legal reason to stay on, 96.3% departed in time. A further 0.4% left after their visa expired. It's not quite clear what happened to the remaining 3.3%.
So, of all those visas, around 40,000 overstayed.
And what's even more interesting are the figures around students. International students have been a hot topic in the migration debate with some claiming that they habitually overstay their visas. Some of the predictions for student over-stayers have been enormous.
The exit check data shows the rate of compliance - those who play by the rules - was 97.4%. And that suggests that assumptions about mass overstaying are either simply wrong or, alternatively, a thing of the past after a crackdown on bogus colleges.
Their study showed 90% of growth in higher education places for disadvantaged students came from colleges, not universities.
The Sutton Trust said its findings showed a "shocking access gap".
The Scottish government said university access for students from poorer areas was up by 29% since it came to power.
In England, those from the poorest neighbourhoods are 2.4 times less likely to attend university than people in the richest areas.
Those in Northern Ireland and Wales are three times less likely to do so.
The Sutton Trust is now calling for the urgent appointment of a new independent commissioner for fair access to tackle the problem.
Trust chairman Sir Peter Lampl said: "Scotland faces a shocking access gap and it is vital that the government appoints a strong independent commissioner without delay.
"There is good practice in Scottish universities on access, but we need a really strong push if talent is not to be wasted."
Analysts found, over the past decade, Scots were more likely than their English counterparts to enter higher education.
But they are less likely to go straight to university, and half who go via college repeat at least one year.
In 2013-14, 55% of Scots entered higher education by the age of 30, 34.1% straight from school and 20.9% going to college first.
In England, 46.6% entered higher education, with just 6% starting at colleges and other non-university providers.
It was, said Alex Salmond, as he unveiled a stone monument at Heriot-Watt University, his administration's "biggest achievement".
The abolition of tuition fees certainly set Scotland on a different path, and the monument has locked the SNP into its flagship policy.
There's no doubt it has saved hundreds of thousands of students from repaying debts out of their graduate salaries.
But, as a detailed analysis published today shows, there is little evidence it has propelled many more working class Scottish students into university.

Prof Sheila Riddell, who led the study, said it highlighted the "over-reliance on the Scottish college sector to increase participation rates overall" and the failure of Scottish university places to keep up with increasing demand.
She said: "Despite free tuition, the Scottish university sector has much work to do in order to realise the goal of fair access."
Education Secretary John Swinney told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme: "What's happened over the last nine years is that there has been a 29% increase in people from the most deprived areas in Scotland going into higher education.
"The report does talk, of course, about the gap in participation from young people from the most and least deprived areas accessing higher education, but it also makes the point that the gap in Scotland has closed more quickly than it has in other parts of the United Kingdom.
"I would be the first to acknowledge that there is more that we have to do to improve access to higher education in Scotland and that is exactly what the government is committed to do, but we have made important progress in the last nine years."
BBC iWonder: Is university worth the money?
A Scottish government spokesman said some of the findings in the report were "based on misconceptions that do not accurately reflect the position" north of the border.
He said the report failed to take account of the fact that a significant proportion of higher education in Scotland takes place in colleges.
"When participation in college is factored in, the Scottish higher education participation rate is significantly higher than in England," he added.
Scottish Conservative education spokeswoman Liz Smith said the "limited progress" in Scotland partly reflected lower bursaries.
She said: "These are matters for the SNP to address urgently, most especially in light of its policy to force universities to take 20% of their intake from disadvantaged communities by 2030, and because of recent reports which shine a light on the dangers of Scottish universities lagging behind in the finance that needs to underpin cutting edge research and innovation."
Scottish Labour education spokesman Iain Gray said the report "shows definitively that Scotland lags behind the rest of the UK when it comes to university access for students from poorer families".
He added: "The SNP record on colleges - 152,000 fewer college students, poor student support and botched mergers which staff say has done nothing to improve teaching - is letting down many of the poorest students who can get into higher education."
Susan Stewart, the director of the Open University in Scotland, said discussions about access to higher education should not be limited to school-leavers.
"Part-time study is ideal for people who have families or other caring responsibilities, who are in work but on lower incomes, or who have a disability, and means that they don't miss on the benefits that higher education has to offer. We can't widen access with a narrow focus," she said.
EIS general secretary Larry Flanagan said: "Scotland has a strong education system at school, college and university level but it is a sad truth that the greatest barriers to young people maximising their educational potential continue to be poverty and low family income.
"Whilst a significant amount of access to higher education is provided by colleges, which is a positive, Scottish universities need to do more to widen access to young people of all backgrounds." | A study of ethnic "segregation" in schools in England shows 61% of ethnic minority pupils enter schools where ethnic minority pupils are a majority.

The commission's chair, Lord Smith, said the changes would "deliver a stronger parliament, a more accountable parliament and a more autonomous parliament".
Here are some of the main points from the report, which can be read in full here.
The report states that income tax will remain a shared tax and both the UK and Scottish Parliaments will share control of income tax. MPs representing constituencies across the whole of the UK will continue to decide the UK's Budget, including income tax.
But within this framework, the Scottish Parliament will have the power to set the rates of income tax and the thresholds at which these are paid for the non-savings and non-dividend income of Scottish taxpayers.
There will be no restrictions on the thresholds or rates the Scottish Parliament can set.
All other aspects of income tax will remain reserved to the UK Parliament, including the imposition of the annual charge to income tax, the personal allowance, the taxation of savings and dividend income, the ability to introduce and amend tax reliefs and the definition of income.
The Scottish government will receive all income tax paid by Scottish taxpayers on their non-savings and non-dividend income, with a corresponding adjustment in the block grant it receives from the UK Government.
Given that income tax will still apply on a UK-wide basis, albeit with different rates and thresholds in Scotland, it will continue to be collected and administered by HMRC.
The Scottish government will reimburse the UK government for any additional costs.
The receipts raised in Scotland by the first 10 percentage points of the standard rate of VAT will be assigned to the Scottish government's budget.
These receipts will be calculated on a verified basis, to be agreed between the UK and Scottish governments, with a corresponding adjustment to the block grant received from the UK government.
The power to charge tax on air passengers leaving Scottish airports will be devolved to the Scottish Parliament. The Scottish government will be free to make its own arrangements with regard to the design and collection of any replacement tax, including consideration of the environmental impact.
Again, the Scottish government's block grant from Westminister will be adjusted accordingly.
Once the current legal issues in relation to Aggregates Levy have been resolved, the power to charge tax on the commercial exploitation of aggregate in Scotland will be devolved to the Scottish Parliament. The Scottish government will be free to make its own arrangements with regard to the design and collection of any replacement tax
All aspects of National Insurance Contributions, Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax, Corporation Tax, Fuel Duty and Excise Duties will remain reserved, as will all aspects of the taxation of oil and gas receipts.
The commission has called on the UK and Scottish governments to work together to avoid double taxation and make administration as simple as possible for taxpayers.
The report says the devolution of further responsibility for taxation and public spending, including elements of the welfare system, should be accompanied by an updated fiscal framework for Scotland.
It says the Barnett Formula should continue, but the revised funding framework should result in the devolved Scottish budget benefiting in full from policy decisions by the Scottish government that increase revenues or reduce expenditure, and the devolved Scottish budget bearing the full costs of policy decisions that reduce revenues or increase expenditure.
Additional borrowing powers should be provided to "ensure budgetary stability and provide safeguards to smooth Scottish public spending in the event of economic shocks", the commission said.
The Scottish government should also have sufficient borrowing powers to support capital investment.
All aspects of the state pension will remain shared across the United Kingdom and reserved to the UK Parliament. This includes the new single-tier pension, any entitlements to legacy state pensions whether in payment or deferred, pension credit and the rules on state pension age.
Universal Credit (UC) will remain a reserved benefit administered and delivered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
However, the Scottish government will be given the power to change the frequency of UC payments, vary the existing plans for single household payments, and pay landlords direct for housing costs in Scotland.
The Scottish Parliament will also have the power to vary the housing cost elements of UC, including varying the under-occupancy charge and local housing allowance rates, eligible rent, and deductions for non-dependents.
But the power to vary the remaining elements of UC and the earnings taper will remain reserved. Conditionality and sanctions within UC will also remain reserved.
Powers over the following benefits in Scotland will be devolved to the Scottish Parliament:
The Scottish Parliament will have complete autonomy in determining the structure and value of these benefits or any new benefits or services which might replace them.
Responsibility for the following benefits will remain reserved to Westminster
The Scottish Parliament will have new powers to create new benefits in areas of devolved responsibility, as well as new powers to make discretionary payments in any area of welfare without the need to obtain prior permission from the Department of Work and Pensions at Westminster.
The Scottish Parliament will have all powers over support for unemployed people through the employment programmes currently contracted by the Department of Work and Pensions, such as the Work Programme and Work Choice, when the current commercial arrangements expire.
The Scottish Parliament will have the power to decide how it operates these core employment support services.
Jobcentre Plus will remain reserved.
The National Minimum Wage will remain fully reserved to Westminster
UK legislation will state that the Scottish Parliament and Scottish government are permanent institutions.
The Scottish Parliament will have full powers over elections to the Scottish Parliament and local government elections in Scotland.
The parties on the commission have called on the UK parliament to devolve the relevant powers in sufficient time to allow the Scottish Parliament to extend the franchise to 16 and 17-year-olds for the 2016 Scottish Parliamentary elections, should the Scottish Parliament wish to do so.
Holyrood will also be given powers to make decisions about "all matters relating to the arrangements and operations of the Scottish Parliament and Scottish government", including:
However, any legislation to change the franchise, the electoral system or the number of constituency and regional members for the Scottish Parliament will require to be passed by a two-thirds majority of the Scottish Parliament.
Responsibility for the management of the Crown Estate's economic assets in Scotland, and the revenue generated from these assets, will be transferred to the Scottish Parliament.
This will include the Crown Estate's seabed, urban assets, rural estates, mineral and fishing rights, and the Scottish foreshore for which it is responsible.
Following this transfer, responsibility for the management of those assets will be further devolved to local authority areas such as Orkney, Shetland, Na h-Eilean Siar or other areas who seek such responsibilities.
The Scottish and UK governments will draw up and agree a Memorandum of Understanding to ensure that such devolution is not detrimental to critical UK-wide matters such as defence, oil and gas and energy.
There will be a formal consultative role for the Scottish government and the Scottish Parliament in the process of reviewing the BBC's Charter.
The BBC will lay its annual report and accounts before the Scottish Parliament and submit reports to, and appear before, committees of the Scottish Parliament in relation to matters relating to Scotland in the same way as it does in the UK Parliament.
The parties called for "serious consideration" to be given to laws over abortion being devolved to Holyrood, and said a process should be established immediately to consider the matter further.
The parties raised a number of additional policy matters which do not involve the devolution of a power to the Scottish Parliament. Among these, they agreed that the Scottish and UK governments should work together to: | The cross-party Smith Commission on further devolution has recommended the Scottish Parliament be given new powers over some taxes and welfare payments. | 30,215,512 | 1,626 | 27 | false |
Manufacturing output was down 0.5% compared with the same month in 2014, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
But the overall index of production (IoP), which also includes mining and quarrying and utilities rose 0.8% over the same period.
The IoP accounts for about 15% of the UK economy.
It means that production is still 9.3% below its pre-downturn peak, achieved in the first quarter of 2008, while manufacturing is 5.2% below its peak.
If the British economy was driven by manufacturing, we could well be in seriously dire economic straits, figures released today show.
So perhaps we should be profoundly grateful that the coalition government elected in 2010 failed so miserably in its ambition to rebalance the UK towards the makers and away from services.

The main drags on the manufacturing figures were basic metals and metal products, transport equipment and "other manufacturing and repair".
Trade in goods increased the deficit in the latest trade figures, which were also released on Wednesday.

Defence analysis group IHS Jane's said the RAF could be left with 127 combat jets by the end of the decade as 87 Tornados and the first tranche of 53 Typhoon jets are due to be retired.
It would leave the RAF with its fewest number of fighter planes since 1918.
The Ministry of Defence said the RAF "has and will have" the aircraft it needs to meet its global commitments.
The government also says it is increasing the defence budget and will replace the older Tornados with the F-35B.
It has only bought eight of these so far and the aircraft are not due to be at "full operating capability" until 2023.
Defence chiefs have already warned the RAF is stretched and the analysis says that further loss of UK airpower would seem "perverse".
Chief of the Defence Staff General Sir Nicholas Houghton last week described the RAF as at the "very limits of its fast jet availability".
Jane's says the RAF currently has 192 frontline fighter aircraft, made up of Tranche 1, 2 and 3A Typhoons and Tornados.
While all 40 Tranche 3A Typhoons should be with the RAF by 2019, and will remain in service, only about 15 to 20 F-35Bs are expected to have been delivered by this time.
Jane's also says there is "no physical reason why the existing 53 Tranche 1 Typhoons could not be retained in service out to 2030" with a "rolling programme of upgrades to their systems".
An MoD spokeswoman said the RAF would remain capable of carrying out operations around the world.
These include Tornado air strikes against so-called Islamic State in Iraq, providing surveillance over Syria with Reaper flights, or patrolling the skies over the UK and in the Falkland Islands with Typhoon jets.
She added: "Tough decisions were made during the last Strategic Defence and Security Review to rationalise our fast jet forces into two advanced and efficient fleets and we continue to assess future requirements ahead of this year's SDSR, which is supported by our £160bn equipment programme that will deliver the fifth-generation Lightning II joint strike fighter."
Earlier this month, Chancellor George Osborne pledged to meet Nato's target of spending 2% of national income on defence every year, up to 2020.
He also announced that spending on defence was to rise in real terms - 0.5% above inflation - every year during the Parliament.
All children from the age of four will be taught about safe and healthy relationships, Education Secretary Justine Greening said.
Children will also be taught, at an appropriate age, about sex. But parents will still have the right to withdraw their children from these classes.
Until now, sex education has been compulsory only in council-run schools.
Since academies and free schools are not under local authority control, they do not have to follow the national curriculum and have not been obliged to teach sex and relationships education (SRE).
In practice, the vast majority do teach the subject - the government's announcement will mean all schools across the system will be bound by the same obligation.
Age-appropriate lessons will have particular emphasis on what constitutes healthy relationships, as well as the dangers of sexting, online pornography and sexual harassment.
In primary schools, the focus would be on building healthy relationships and staying safe, the Department for Education (DfE) said, while in secondary school it would focus on sex as well as relationships.
The government will hold discussions on what should be taught to children, and at what age, and there will be a public consultation later this year.
Pupils could be taught the new curriculum from September 2019, the DfE said.
In an interview with the BBC, Ms Greening said: "At the moment, many schools teach sex and relationships education.
"But it's not mandatory, and, therefore, for many children, they are not coming out of our schools really being equipped to deal with the modern world or indeed be safe and protected from some of the very modern challenges that young people face on cyberbullying and sexting.
"What we're introducing today is mandatory relationships and sex education in all secondary schools, but also mandatory relationships education in primary schools as well.
"And, of course, all of this, it's important, is age-appropriate and, of course, it's also important to retain, for sex education, a parent's right to withdraw their child."
Ms Greening said schools would have flexibility over how they delivered the subjects and faith schools would continue to be able to teach in accordance with the tenets of their faith.
The current guidance for SRE, introduced in 2000, was outdated, she added.
The news was welcomed by the Local Government Association, which has been campaigning for compulsory sex education in all schools.
Izzi Seccombe, chairman of the association's community wellbeing board, said: "The lack of compulsory SRE in secondary academies and free schools is storing up problems for later on in life, creating a ticking sexual health time bomb, as we are seeing in those who have recently left school.
"We believe that making SRE compulsory in all secondary schools, not just council-maintained ones, could make a real difference in reversing this trend, by preparing pupils for adulthood and enabling them to better take care of themselves and future partners."
But critics fear the announcement weakens the influence of parents.
The organisation Christian Concern said it was not for the state to prescribe what was taught in this area.
Chief executive Andrea Williams told the BBC: "Children need to be protected, and certainly when they're [still at primary school], we need to be guarding their innocence.
"We need to be protecting them from things, working with parents to ensure that what they might need to know - which will be different for every child child, different in every context across the country - is properly looked at.
"But this is something that should be individualised, not something that the state can deliver wholesale."
Safe at School Campaign, run by the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children, described the announcement as a "tragedy".
National co-ordinator Antonia Tully said: "Parents will be absolutely powerless to protect their children from presentations of sexual activity, which we know is part of many sex education teaching resources for primary school children.
"The state simply cannot safeguard children in the same way that parents can. This proposal is sending a huge message to parents that they are unfit to teach their own children about sex."
School leaders, however, welcomed the news.
Russell Hobby, general secretary of school leaders' union NAHT, said: "It is so important for young people to be taught about appropriate relationships, and the duties set out today bring that one step closer."
Malcolm Trobe, interim general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said: "We do not believe it is necessary for the government to provide standardised frameworks or programmes of study, and we would urge ministers against being too prescriptive," he said.
Jonathan Baggaley, chief executive of the PHSE Association said: "This is a historic step and a clear statement of intent from government.
"Following years of campaigning we are delighted that Justine Greening has taken this vital step to respond to the clear call from parents, teachers and young people that education must prepare all children, in all schools, for the opportunities and challenges of modern life."
Ms Greening's announcement follows a widespread campaign by charities, MPs and local authorities, calling for (SRE) to be made a statutory for all schools.
At the end of last year, the chairmen and women of five different Commons select committees called on Ms Greening to make SRE a statutory subject.
SRE is part of the curriculum in Wales, but it is not currently compulsory.
The Welsh government says it expects young people to receive age-appropriate lessons in school, covering "all aspects of relationships, sexual health and wellbeing issues".
The subject is not compulsory in Scotland but new guidance was introduced in 2014. Schools and local authorities are responsible for deciding how to put the guidelines into practice.
In Northern Ireland, the Department of Education requires each school to have its own written policy on how it will address the delivery of relationship and sexuality education (RSE).
RSE must be delivered "in a sensitive manner which is appropriate to the age and understanding of pupils and the ethos of the school".
Great Britain captain Andrew Sullivan hit 22 points for Leicester and was named most valuable player, while team-mate TrayVonn Wright added 20.
The Eagles came back from 17 points down in the third quarter to tie, only for Leicester to finish the stronger.
Rahmon Fletcher led Newcastle's scoring with 18 points.
Leicester had never won the Trophy in five final appearances, but they made the better start, racing into an 18-7 lead with nine points from guard Tyler Bernardini.
Newcastle levelled the game at 26-26 in the middle of the second quarter only for Sullivan and Wright to give the Riders to a 42-30 half-time advantage, scoring six and five points each in the process.
Leicester extended their advantage in the third quarter with threes from Wright and Jamall Anderson before the Eagles threatened a repeat of January's Cup final comeback with a flurry of threes from Fletcher, Charles Smith, Drew Lasker and Joe Chapman.
The sides were level 72-72 with just under four minutes remaining, but in contrast to the Cup final, Leicester produced the killer touch.
Baskets from Sullivan, Bernardini and Trevor Gruis started the 13-4 run that won the game and ended Newcastle's hopes of repeating last year's clean sweep of all four major titles.
Leicester Riders coach Rob Paternostro:
"Offensively we made better decisions, but before the game I said to the guys 'it's got to be defence that wins it for us' and I think our defence was better today.
"We held them to 77 points today and that really gave us a chance to win - it was important."
Newcastle player-coach Fab Flournoy:
"They had a good game plan coming in - I think it took us a while to get things going in the first half," he said.
"In the second half we settled into the game a little better but by that time they already had their rhythm and it was like trying to stop a freight train."
Mr McGrath, 60, of Grantchester Street, Cambridge, is accused of stalking a woman for more than a year.

Andrew Hocking, from Copthorne, is alleged to have attacked the girl at his former home in Fareham, between 1982 and 1984.

Mr Hocking appeared at Lewes Crown Court and was bailed until 22 December.
Sussex Police said their investigation was continuing and they wanted to speak to anyone who knew Mr Hocking in Fareham during the early 1980s.
Mark Parsinen, who helped to lay out Castle Stuart Golf Links, near Inverness, said for 40 years the demand has been for harder courses.
But with falling club memberships, he said the sport must try to balance the needs of professionals and amateurs.
Mr Parsinen said golf should not be "a thing of torture".
The co-architect of Kingsbarns in Fife and a developer of courses in the US said statistics showed golf club membership in Scotland had fallen by 17% since 2004 and a growing number of courses were closing, with high costs and length of playing time among the reasons cited.
He said similar problems were affecting the game in America.
Mr Parsinen said: "Every 48 hours a golf course closes in the US. People don't want to spend their spare time looking for balls and being humiliated.
"Golf courses have evolved to have faster greens, narrower fairways, much longer rough and more penalty-laden 'hard edges'.
"Golfers have been facing increasingly difficult courses and challenges that are all too often humiliating and costly, both in time and the cost of lost balls."
He said the 1974 US Open at Winged Foot marked a "sea change" in golf course design.
Golf's governing body in the United States, the USGA, argued at the time that tougher courses helped to "identify" the best golfers.
But Mr Parsinen said: "The logic that difficulty in golf is the way to identify the best players isn't entirely true, although it has held sway ever since Winged Foot - to the dismay of the average golfer after a protracted and almost unnoticeable trend towards difficulty becoming the 'be all and end all' of golf design.
"Over more than 40 years, our perception of what golf is all about has changed. How has golf turned into this torture thing?"
He added: "If people think golf is all about a difficult test and proving your mettle, then in that crucible they will suffer pain because they think it may be inevitable.
"But you can change the paradigm of golf and say 'I don't need to be playing the most difficult courses in the world. I need to find some engaging pleasure'."
The Scottish Open will be held at Castle Stuart from 7-10 July.
The car was being pursued along Lennard Road, Penge, when it struck the group at about 14:05 BST, witnesses said.
The woman and boy died at the scene, while three girls were taken to hospital with "multiple injuries", London Ambulance Service (LAS) said.
A man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
The 23 year-old remains in custody in a south London police station, the Metropolitan Police said.
A witness said the car was being chased by two police BMWs when the driver "lost control and ploughed into a family".
"People were trying to lift a car off a little girl," the man said.
Another witness, Venissa Vassell, said about 20 people lifted the car and the girls "crawled out".
One girl who was taken away by ambulance was screaming, "I can't feel my legs", Ms Vassell said.
Ilya Baxter, 23, saw the police chase from a window in his flat.
He described seeing a white man aged between 18 and 25 running across the road around the corner from the crashed car, before police caught him.
He said: "I heard the cars and saw someone pointing to the police where he went. I knocked on the window and pointed."
He said that the man was hiding in the bushes. Police then caught the man, handcuffed him, and then went to help the injured, he added.
The majority of police pursuits in London take place at relatively low-speed and end quickly when the driver pulls over.
But there's been concern about a recent rise in the number of people killed in car chases.
The police watchdog says there were 13 deaths in the UK in 2015/16 - during or after police chases - up from six the previous year.
In London in 2015/16 there were three deaths, up from one the previous year.
The Metropolitan Police philosophy is that no pursuit is worth risking the safety of the public; that travelling through built-up areas at more than 40 or 50 mph is simply not worth it.
With the amount of CCTV on the streets of the capital, tracing vehicles is easier than ever, although watching a suspect get away is clearly galling for officers, and a great worry if the suspect poses an immediate threat.
Sources say it's become increasingly common for a senior officer - monitoring events in real-time in the police control room - to call off a chase if they feel the risk to the public has become too great.
Often, the control room will try to scramble the most highly-trained pursuit officers to take over. They are in the minority, though, and the body that represents rank and file officers, the Police Federation, has said a reduction in specific road policing officers nationally has led criminals to think they can get away.
With fewer specialists on the roads, more chases will be allocated to officers who don't have the daily experience of high-speed pursuits.
The details of what happened in Penge are still not clear. But this crash shows once again how devastating the consequences of police chases can be.
Police watchdog the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has sent investigators to the scene, and appealed for witnesses to contact them.
Over the last 10 years, 252 members of the public have died following road traffic incidents involving the police in England and Wales, according to the IPCC.
In London there were 498 crashes involving a pursuit by Met officers in 2015-16.
South Wales Police said the incident took place at the junction of Coleford Drive and Cragside Close, St Mellons at about 00:20 BST.
A number of arrests have been made.
Anyone with information is asked to call 101.
It was established earlier in Putney High Street, one of the most polluted areas of London.
Only buses that meet the toughest emission standards will now be able to run in the Putney LEBZ, City Hall said.
It said Putney exceeded hourly legal levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) on 1,248 occasions in 2016.
Under European Union rules, the limit should not be exceeded more than 18 times in a year.
The changes, which affect 145 buses on seven scheduled routes in Putney, are expected to reduce bus emissions across the 12 zones by over 80%.
The launch of the LEBZ comes as a recent opinion poll found nine out of 10 Londoners believe air pollution is at "crisis" level.
A report released by the mayor last week showed that every London borough has recorded illegally high levels of air pollution in the past two years, with Wandsworth recording some of the highest levels.
Wandsworth has exceeded the annual mean limit for NO2 pollution at five out of six of its automatic monitoring stations, with the sites on Putney High Street recording levels more than double the legal limit.
The 11 further LEBZs will be introduced by 2020, with the Brixton to Streatham one to be launched in October.
The mayor has previously announced that diesel-only buses will be phased out in London, which will only buy hybrid or zero-emission double-decker buses from 2018.
Mr Khan said "London's toxic air is an outrage and I promised to make cleaning it up one of my top priorities.
"I have asked TfL to remove the oldest, dirtiest buses from our streets and this new route, along with the 11 others we'll be introducing, will make a big difference to the pollution caused by our public transport system.
"I now need other cities around the world to work with me to demand cleaner bus technology so we can phase out diesel buses altogether."
The four-day festival celebrates the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
Organisers said this year's theme was Once Upon A Time and hoped to turn Manchester's streets into a fairytale.
The procession of about 100 vibrant floats started on Liverpool Road at 13:00 BST and finished next to Manchester's Gay Village.
Coronation Street actors Kym Marsh and Anthony Cotton were among the stars on the soap's float this year.
Emergency services were out in force showing their support for the parade with Greater Manchester Police sporting specially-designed hats.
Many people used social media to say what a good time they had been having at the parade.

It bore the date of the Hillsborough disaster when 96 fans died.
Police said they were alerted to the sign and removed it immediately.
Manchester United criticised fans who sang chants about the tragedy during the Europa League defeat at Liverpool on 11 March.
Offensive songs were heard during Liverpool's 2-0 win at Anfield in the first leg of their last-16 tie.
Ninety-six spectators died after crushing at the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough ground on 15 April 1989.
Records released on Wednesday showed that members were worried that a global economic slowdown could hurt the US.
Policymakers agreed that "uncertainty had increased" since the decision to raise interest rates in December.
Some members felt that tighter economic conditions would be "roughly equivalent" to further hikes.
Members of the central bank voted unanimously to raise the Fed's key interest rate by 25 basis points - to between 0.25% and 0.5% - in December.
Since that decision, oil prices have continued to fall and global share markets have been highly volatile.
"The minutes are indeed a more dovish tint to the Fed's language and, on balance, likely suggest a lower likelihood of the Fed raising rates in March," said Omer Esiner, chief market analyst at Commonwealth Foreign Exchange.
The minutes said: "Members observed that if the recent tightening of global financial conditions was sustained, it could be a factor amplifying downside risks," to the US economy.
The members agreed that it was too early to determine whether the data warranted changing course, but stated that they planned to continue to monitor the situation.
Testifying before Congress last week, Fed chairwoman Janet Yellen warned that growth in the US economy could be hurt by global conditions.
The economic slowdown in the China and other emerging nations was noted as a factor that could "drag on the US economy".
The minutes also showed that Fed members were concerned about the impact of a slowing China on Mexico and Canada, the two biggest trading partners for the US.
The bank said net profit rose to $3.34bn (£2.43bn) compared with $344m in the last quarter of 2014 when it paid $3.5bn in legal and other charges.
The bank's legal and repositioning costs fell to $724m for this quarter.
Citi - which is undergoing a restructuring - is the third largest US bank when ranked by assets.
The picture at Citi echoed that at JP Morgan Chase, which reported results on Thursday. Profits there also jumped thanks to lower legal expenses and better cost control.
Citigroup has been restructuring to focus on more profitable businesses and markets, and has closed consumer operations in 11 overseas markets.
Operating expenses fell 23% to $11bn, partly thanks to the fall in legal-related costs.
Chief executive, Michael Corbat, said: "We have undoubtedly become a simpler, smaller, safer and stronger institution.
"We have sharpened our focus on target clients, shedding over 20 consumer and institutional businesses in the process."
Citi's shares were down 5% in early trading on Wall Street.
The US's biggest mortgage lender, Wells Fargo, also released results on Friday.
It reported a 0.8% fall in profits for the final quarter of 2015 to $5.34bn after it set aside more to cover bad loans.
However, mortgage banking revenue rose 9.6% to $1.66bn, the first quarterly rise all year.
Its shares were 2.5% lower in early trading.
Evans, who was jailed in April 2012 for raping a 19-year-old woman in a hotel room in 2011, was released last month.
Stuart Gilhooly, a lawyer for the Professional Footballers' Association of Ireland, said other convicted people had later been found to be innocent.
However, a rape victims' support group said the comparison was "ridiculous and insulting to victims".
Mr Gilhooly wrote an article on the association's website referring to Evans' crime as "alleged", despite the fact the footballer was found guilty of raping the woman in the hotel in Rhyl, North Wales, and sentenced to five years.
The article has since been removed from the website.
Stephen McGuinness, general secretary of the PFAI, confirmed that it had been the association's decision to remove the article from the website.
Mr McGuinness said: "We decided to take it down, it was our decision. We decided to take it down this morning as soon as we came in."
In his article, Mr Gilhooly said he believed that, whether Evans was guilty or innocent, the footballer deserved another chance.
He said that while a jury convicted him of the crime, the same applied to the Guildford Four and the Birmingham Six.
The Guildford Four and the Birmingham Six were initially convicted of involvement in an IRA bombing campaign that claimed several lives.
The verdicts in both cases were overturned after the 10 accused spent many years in prison.
Mr Gilhooly said he was not comparing Evans' case with the Guildford Four or the Birmingham Six, but merely saying they were found guilty by a jury but were innocent.
"Simply because a jury convicts you doesn't mean you are guilty. The world is full of miscarriages of justices where juries have convicted people."
"He (Evans) says he did not commit the crime. As far as I'm concerned, he is entitled to make that case."
Asked why he described the offence as "alleged", he said Evans had always insisted he was innocent.
"He may be wrong and it may well be that at some point in the future the miscarriage of justice commission will say that he is wrong about it.
"I say it's alleged because at the moment the matter is still under appeal and I think it is only right that we should continue to use alleged until all appeals have been exhausted."
Mr Gilhooly said he had made it perfectly clear in his online article that the victim was not in any way to blame for what went on.
"I do think, however, that we need to have some cognisance of the fact that Ched Evans is being victimised here himself," he said.
"I appreciate that the lady in question has been through an appalling time and I wouldn't seek in any way to make that worse, but he is continuing to be the victim of a witch hunt and my own personal belief is that whether or not he is guilty of that crime, he deserves a second chance of playing football."
Mr Gilhooly said the opinions expressed in his article on the Professional Footballers' Association of Ireland's website were his own views are not those of the PFAI.
Pam Hunter, of rape victims' support group Nexus NI, said appropriate employment for released perpetrators while on licence reduced future offending rates.
"The issue in the case of Ched Evans is that his employment role could be seen as not appropriate due to the celebrity status such players achieve," she said.
"The fact that a solicitor has voiced opinions and comparisons with those where a miscarriage of justice has been found is ridiculous and insulting to victims of sexual violence.
"The court and the appeal court have both found Ched Evans guilty. What is even more galling is the description of the circumstances of the rape is being used to mitigate his crime. Rape is rape and it is a crime whatever the circumstances."
Ms Hunter asked if the same debate would be taking place if Evans' "employment was not in the limelight".
"To put this into perspective, Nexus NI's yearly funding is the same value as a top footballer's weekly wage," she said.
"Support for victims of sexual violence is grossly under resourced. Perhaps Ched Evans could pay a victims' surcharge from his wages while he still under licence?"
Controversy was caused when Sheffield United allowed Evans to resume training at the club following his release from prison.
Musician Paul Heaton resigned as a patron of Sheffield United's Community Foundation over the decision to allow Evans to train with the club.
TV presenter Charlie Webster, sixties pop star Dave Berry and Sheffield businesswoman Lindsay Graham have all resigned as patrons of the club since Evans returned to training.
Olympic athlete Jessica Ennis-Hill asked for her name to removed from a stand at the club's Bramall Lane ground if Evans returns full-time.
More than 160,000 people have signed a petition demanding the club refuse to sign Evans.
In 2009 she wrote a diary chronicling life under Taliban rule in Pakistan's north-western Swat valley. Three years later militants shot her in the head.
She survived and went on to be a global voice for education rights. These are some of the most affecting moments in the diary, which first appeared on BBC Urdu.
Saturday 3 January
I had a terrible dream yesterday with military helicopters and the Taliban. I have had such dreams since the launch of the military operation in Swat. My mother made me breakfast and I went off to school. I was afraid going to school because the Taliban had issued an edict banning all girls from attending schools...
On my way from school to home I heard a man saying 'I will kill you'. I hastened my pace and after a while I looked back if the man was still coming behind me. But to my utter relief he was talking on his mobile and must have been threatening someone else over the phone.
Thursday 15 Jan
Today is ... the last day before the Taliban's edict comes into effect, and my friend was discussing homework as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened.
Today, I also read the diary written for the BBC (in Urdu) and published in the newspaper. My mother liked my pen name 'Gul Makai' and said to my father 'why not change her name to Gul Makai?' I also like the name because my real name means 'grief stricken'.

My father told us that the government would protect our schools. The prime minister has also raised this issue. I was quite happy initially, but now I know but this will not solve our problem. Here in Swat we hear everyday that so many soldiers were killed and so many were kidnapped at such and such place. But the police are nowhere to be seen.
Thursday 22 Jan
Some of my friends have left Swat because the situation here is very dangerous. I do not leave home. At night Maulana Shah Dauran [the Taleban cleric who announced the ban on girls attending school] once again warned females not to leave home. He also warned that they would blow up those schools which are used by the security forces as security posts.

It seems that it is only when dozens of schools have been destroyed and hundreds others closed down that the army thinks about protecting them. Had they conducted their operations here properly, this situation would not have arisen.

We are staying with our father's friend in Islamabad. It is my first visit to the city. It's beautiful with nice bungalows and wide roads. But as compared to my Swat city it lacks natural beauty...

There was no one else besides people with long hair and beards. From their appearance they looked like Taleban. I saw some houses damaged due to shelling.
Sunday 8 February
I am sad watching my uniform, school bag and geometry box. I felt hurt on opening my wardrobe and seeing my uniform, school bag and geometry box. Boys' schools are opening tomorrow.
But the Taliban have banned girls' education.

I told my brothers that we will not talk of war but peace from now on. We received the information from our school headmistress that examinations will be held in the first week of March. I have stepped up my studies.

Two lifeboats were sent to rescue him from Lavernock Point at about 12:15 GMT. An RAF Sea King helicopter was also called, although it was not used.
The man was brought to shore and taken to Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales by ambulance in a critical condition. He has since died.
South Wales Police is investigating the incident.
More than anything, though, a third win will be uppermost in Gregor Townsend's mind as Scotland's tour comes to an end against the potentially dangerous Fijians, who will be roared on by a crowd as passionate as any - and more passionate than most - in world rugby.
To a man, the Scots have pointed out the futility of winning against Australia last weekend only to lose to Fiji a week later. They've spoken of wanting to avoid ending the tour on a downer.
As Josh Strauss said on Monday, this three-match series would almost feel like a failure if they were to drop their guard and suffer a defeat on Saturday.

Townsend also sounded a note of caution in the preamble. Nobody has given Fiji more respect and attention this week than Townsend, nobody has analysed the off-loading, game-breaking brilliance of what they do quite like the coach.
The memory of his 1998 defeat to Fiji in Suva is still clear. He recalls the excellence of the home team that day in scoring eight tries against the Scots, he remembers the raucousness of the home crowd and the way the home team fed off their passion. He says it won't be any different this time if Scotland don't get it right.
What Townsend dearly wants to avoid are uncomfortable flashbacks of Fero Lasagavibau, the hat-trick scoring wing from 19 years ago.
Lasagavibau has, of course, left the stage, but the production line of world class Fiji wingers remains busy. On Saturday, they will have Josua Tuisova of Toulon on one wing and Patrick Osborne of the Highlanders on the other. Quality players, both. Tuisova just scored for his club in the French championship final - a loss to Clermont, who also had a try-scoring Fijian wing in their team in Alivereti Raka - and Osborne, who just over a week ago, was part of the Highlanders squad that beat the Lions.
No other country on the planet produces as many bewilderingly good wingers as Fiji. This season, Waisea Nayacalevu of Stade Francais was the leading try-scorer in the Top 14 in France and his countryman, Watisoni Votu of Pau was just behind in second place. Nemani Nadolo and Timoci Nagusa are both prominent wings with Montpellier who finished third in the regular season in France. Vereniki Goneva, who stands down this week, scored against Australia and Italy in the past fortnight.
They're the pick of the Fijian wings who play for Fiji, but there's a whole different category of Fijian-born wings who currently play for, or have very recent played for, other countries and again we're talking class players. In some cases, undoubted world class.
Waisake Naholo, the All Black; Virimi Vakatawa, the adopted Frenchman and his Les Bleus team-mate Noa Nakaitaci. Henry Speight, Eto Nabuli, Sefa Naivalu and Taqele Naiyaravoro - all Fijians, all Australian internationals. Semesa Rokoduguni, another Fijian who has won two caps for England, the last of them in the summer of 2016.
There are others. In France? Many, many others. To be in Fiji this past week is to understand what the game means to the people here and what the visiting Scots mean to them into the bargain. There is a massive appreciation, a tangible excitement, a hope of a classic.
Townsend has love-bombed Fijian rugby all week, but he knows what's coming. If conditions allow - it rained heavily in Suva on Friday - then it's going to be a game played at a ferocious pace.
Fiji can - and almost certainly will - score tries. They got three tries in victory against Italy last weekend, they got two in defeat (and could have had at least two more) against Australia the week before, they got five in their win over Japan and even in the autumn, when England put 58 points on them at Twickenham, they still managed to score three times.
In everything they have been saying, Scotland come across as being aware of Fiji's threat and focused on finishing this tour off with another momentum-building victory. It should happen, but expect Fijian fireworks before that final whistle sounds.
Brendan Rodgers' side had already lifted the Scottish League Cup before securing the Premiership title with a 5-0 thrashing of Hearts on Sunday.
Celtic are in the Scottish Cup semi-finals, so a clean sweep is possible.
"It's our main goal now," Lustig told BBC Scotland. "We play for Celtic and every game we want to win."
Celtic are unbeaten domestically in both cup and league since the start of the season and face city rivals Rangers in the Scottish Cup semi-final on 23 April.
Asked if finishing the season unbeaten is realistic, despite Rodgers promising to rest some players before the end of the campaign, Lustig said: "Absolutely. It is going to be tough and we have to stay humble and remain focused, but we've got a big squad and people coming in who can do the job."
Previous manager Ronny Deila won two successive titles and Lustig believes performances have improved this season under Rodgers.
"The players got a lot more confident and the main thing is the manager and backroom staff work with us every day to keep us focused," said the Sweden defender.
"We knew we had really good players in the squad and we took in some players for this season who made a really big impact.
"But, even with the same players as last season, the confidence is much higher now."
Celtic also began their league campaign with a 2-1 win against Hearts at Tynecastle.

"It has been a brilliant season and it's really nice to settle it here," said Lustig.
"We set up some goals before the season and the first game of the season was against Hearts here and it's really nice to win the title here as well."
Celtic have another Glasgow derby to contend with before the cup semi-final, with in-form Partick Thistle visiting on Premiership duty.
"It doesn't matter that we have won the league," said Lustig.
"We will focus again on Partick Thistle on Wednesday and getting three points there."
"This is Dr Richard Kaselowsky," says the manager, before adding, with a hint of embarrassment: "Unfortunately, he was a strong Nazi."
The 126-year-old company, a household name in Germany and beyond, has done more than most to face up to what Mr Schillinger calls the "dark shadow" of its activities in the 1930s and 1940s.
A few years ago, the family-owned firm enlisted prominent historians to write a book chronicling the relationship between former boss Rudolf-August Oetker - a member of the Waffen SS - and the Third Reich.
It revealed how Dr Oetker had supported the war effort by providing pudding mixes and munitions to Nazi troops, and how the business had used slave labour in some of its facilities.
Now, in a rarer move, the company is turning its attention to a more tangible reminder of former sins - its vast private art collection.
In a floor-to-ceiling library at Dr Oetker's sprawling headquarters in the North-Rhine Westphalian city of Bielefeld, Dr Monika Bachtler reveals one of its treasures - a resplendent 17th Century silver goblet.
"It's a typical German silversmith's piece," says the white-gloved curator of the Oetker collection, "made in Augsburg in 1612".
The goblet originally belonged to Emma Budge, a wealthy Jewish socialite, philanthropist and art-lover from Hamburg. It was part of an impressive collection forcibly auctioned off by the Nazis in the early 1930s, including porcelain figures by Kaendler and paintings by van Loo.
This particular piece of silverware's troubling provenance was discovered as a consequence of a voluntary audit of Dr Oetker's own collection.
The collection, which includes some some 4,500 priceless pieces, scattered across several, secret locations, was mostly purchased by Rudolf-August Oetker, who was a renowned art enthusiast.
The company's board, which includes members of the Oetker family, commissioned the audit in 2015. So far, just four artworks have been restored to their rightful owners - including the windmill-shaped goblet.
Dr Oetker is tight-lipped about the precise value of the goblet - for which the Budge estate elected to receive financial compensation - but other items in the Budge collection are worth as much as £270,000, according to Lothar Fremy, one of just a dozen or so lawyers in Germany who represent heirs of Nazi confiscated art.
Mr Fremy, a Berliner who represents the Budge heirs, says few cases are carried out this smoothly.
"Sometimes it's like a big puzzle you have to put together," he explains. "Between 1933 and 1945, hundreds of thousands of items were sold, the market was flooded with artefacts."
Tracing their origin is a process which will take "10, 20 or 30 years easily", he says.
In this case, thanks to the meticulous paperwork left behind by Nazi bureaucrats, a comprehensive catalogue of the forced auction of the Budge collection exists, complete with images of most items.
This allowed Mr Fremy to enter the details of more than 1,000 items from the catalogue onto lootedart.com, an online registry for the return of stolen cultural objects.
But although many items from the Budge collection have been found in galleries, including Meissen porcelain figures at the V&A in London, it is rarer for private collections - let alone those owned by corporations - to voluntarily examine their inventory for a match to an artefact on the online database.
The widely-followed principles for returning Nazi-confiscated art, outlined after a conference in Washington in 1998, are largely focused on public institutions.
Private collectors, Mr Fremy says, have generally not felt inclined to look too closely into the origins of their prized possessions.
Yet the return of stolen items from the Budge collection and beyond, he says, is becoming more common.
"Ten or 12 years ago, it wasn't a warm or co-operative reception," says Mr Fremy, reminiscing about early approaches to individuals who may have been in possession of stolen art, "but in general it's getting better."
Back in Bielefeld, Dr Oetker's researchers say it may take decades to determine how many more items in its collection are due for restitution.
But Joerg Schillinger hopes that other German companies, among which huge art collections are not uncommon, will follow the frozen food firm's lead.
"It's a pity that there are still some companies that haven't stepped into their history," he says. "We were quite late, 70 years after the war, but we are very happy that we did it."
His recommendation to other businesses?
"Just do it, for the sake of your company and for the sake of the stakeholders."
Christopher Keeling, 58, attacked Ann Robinson in December 2000.
Miss Robinson died in 2014 and a post-mortem examination found her death was directly linked to the assault.
Keeling, of Selby Road, Thorne, Doncaster, who was originally convicted of attempted murder in 2001, admitted murder at Sheffield Crown Court.
He was sentenced to life, and ordered to serve a minimum of 18 years in jail, less the time he had previously served.

Ms Robinson was living with Keeling in their home in Truro Avenue, Wheatley, Doncaster, when he attacked her on 28 December.
She was taken to hospital with significant and life-threatening injuries, which resulted in her requiring 24-hour medical care.
In March 2014, Miss Robinson, 58, was admitted to hospital where she died.
Det Con Ian Honeybone said the force had worked closely with medical professionals and the Crown Prosecution Service to build a case to prosecute Keeling for murder.
He said: "This may seem like an unusual step, but extensive medical assessment concluded that the brutal and sustained attack on Ann in December 2000 significantly contributed to her death in March 2014.
"Her health was forever changed as a result of Keeling's actions that night. Ann survived extensive injuries but needed round-the-clock care and medical support."
He added he was pleased Keeling had accepted responsibility for his actions but his guilty plea was "small consolation" for her family after 17 years.
China's territorial claims, which overlap with Vietnam's, were recently rejected by an international tribunal.
Screens and sound systems at Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City airports broadcast anti-Vietnamese and Philippines slogans on Friday.
Vietnam's transport ministry said a Chinese hacker was responsible.
Vietnam Airlines' website was also briefly hacked.
Media in Vietnam reported that staff at the airports had to resort to checking in passengers manually, avoiding computers for several hours.
The hack comes days after a row involving a Chinese tourist at one of the hacked airports - Tan Son Nhat, in Ho Chi Minh City.
China asked Vietnam to investigate reports that a Chinese visitor's passport was handed back with obscenities written on two pages.
Pictures show a four-letter word written on the pages that contain a map including China's "nine-dash line", that marks China's claim to territories in the South China Sea.
The tourist, surnamed Zhong and from China's Guangdong province, was entering Vietnam through Tan Son Nhat airport.
She told local media that she was "very disappointed at the personal qualities of Vietnamese officials".
The Chinese consulate in Ho Chi Minh City said in a statement the act was "shameless and cowardly", adding that it had "stained the dignity of both China and its nationals".
New passports were issued by Beijing in 2012 with revised maps to include the "nine-dash line".
China claims almost all of the South China Sea, including reefs and islands that are also claimed by other countries, and has controversially been engaging in island-building and naval patrols.
It has said it does not recognise an international tribunal ruling in July that said its claims had no legal basis.
Customs officers at Vietnam's Da Nang airport, not one of those hacked on Friday, have reportedly also confiscated maps featuring the nine-dash line from Chinese passengers.
A provincial Vietnamese television station stopped airing Shanghai Bund, a Chinese remake of a Hong Kong series, after the show's lead actor voiced his support for Beijing's claims in the South China Sea.
About 20 people were also detained in Hanoi in July while protesting against China's rejection of the tribunal decision.
Bulgaria's Dimitrov, 23, seeded fourth, beat Lopez 6-7 (8-10) 7-6 (7-1) 7-6 (8-6) at the Aegon Championships.
It is his fourth career title, and he is the first man this year to win titles on three different surfaces.
"This tournament in particular has been the tournament I always wanted to win," said Dimitrov.
"I remember playing as a teenager here, and ever since I have dreamt about that moment.
"You can feel it in the spirit of the trophy itself. When you lift it, it means something. The only thing I can say is I'm going to be with a lot of positive vibes going to Wimbledon."
Lopez, 32, went desperately close to landing the fourth title of his career and the 10th seed was a dejected figure afterwards.
"The serving from both players was exceptional. Feliciano choked on that forehand at match point and he will be devastated by that, but Dimitrov has now won titles on hard, clay and grass courts this year and it shows what a complete player he is."
He had his chance at match point in the second set tie-break, facing a second serve, but snatched at the return and hammered it into the net.
The Spaniard had earlier saved two break points before edging the opening set in the tie-break, converting his fourth set point when Dimitrov slipped and netted a forehand.
A similarly tight second set turned in a gripping 12th game that saw Dimitrov recover from 15-30, and then match point down, thanks to a raking backhand pass and a stunning volley along the way.
Now in top gear, Dimitrov dropped just one point in the tie-break and moved 40-0 up in the opening game of the decider as he swept through 13 of 14 points - only to undo all his hard work.
Allowed a way back into the game, Lopez did brilliantly to earn break point and thumped away a volley; having lost just two service games all week, he looked well set to close out the match.
Dimitrov needed another burst of inspiration and he found it with some searing returns to create his first break point since the first set, and Lopez finally felt the pressure with a double-fault.
A classic grass-court duel came down to a third tie-break and the chances remained fleeting, with the first rally coming at 4-4, but this time it was Dimitrov in the ascendancy.
The Bulgarian matched his opponent by missing a match point when he framed a forehand high into the stands, but the former world junior number one clinched victory when Lopez could only find the net with a forehand.
"I think when you face players like Grigor, you know that even playing the way I played today there is a chance to lose because he's a great player," said Lopez.
"He never gives up, as he showed today."
Earlier, Britain's Jamie Murray and Australian John Peers lost in the doubles final.
They were beaten 4-6 7-6 (7-4) 10-4 by Brazil's Bruno Soares and Alexander Peya of Austria.
Martyn Galvin, 30, from Yarm, collected money from his friends, some he had known for 20 years, for a trip to Prague and a day at the races.
But the group was left "shocked" when he failed to turn up at the airport and found the trip had not been booked.
Galvin was jailed for 20 months at Teesside Crown Court.
One of the group, who did not want to be named, told BBC Tees: "It was shock more than anything and disbelief. We were just sat there thinking, 'Is that really happening?'."
He said once the group had arrived at the airport, Galvin had text them to announce his cancer had just been diagnosed as terminal and apologised for a "mix up" with the booking.
The friend said: "He [the groom] was in shock. He was on one side of the fence thinking his best mate's got terminal cancer but then on the other because of all the things that had happened...he started to think 'What's true and what's not?'.
"It's almost as if he [Galvin] was starting to believe his own lies and living a lie. I still to this day don't believe it actually happened," he said.
The friend said Galvin had lied to them about having cancer four months before the stag-do.
He said: "I remember incidents where I had picked him up from his house because the doctor said he wasn't allowed to drive and he would gingerly get into my car with a fresh bandage on that we later found out he was buying from Boots."
The stag do still took place in Newcastle, Yarm and Middlesbrough and the wedding went ahead with a different best man.
Galvin was also ordered to pay full compensation within 28 days.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) said the cuts would double if EU aid was not replaced after Brexit, with councils likely to be hit hardest.
The IFS said using proposed new powers to raise income tax in Wales by 1p in the £1 would plug half the gap.
UK ministers want some control of income tax devolved to Welsh ministers but no date has been set for this.
The Welsh Government's annual budget is about £15bn but it has complained that cuts at a UK level have left it with less to spend.
The IFS said the real-terms cut of 3.2% identified would be worth around £445m and would represent a decrease in revenue spending, which makes up the vast majority of the budget.
It means that after inflation, the Welsh government would have 3.2% less for day-to-day spending in 2020 than it does now.
According to the IFS report, a decision not to cut NHS spending would mean other departments facing cuts of 7.4%.
On European funding, the report said that while the UK government had guaranteed some projects would be funded until 2020, it was "even less clear what funding will be available for schemes currently funded by the EU after 2020".
It added: "If no additional funding was provided, the Welsh Government would have to find over £500m a year from its existing budget if it wanted to continue to fund these schemes.
"This could more than double average budget cuts to 6.9% in 2020-21 (assuming the remainder of the Welsh Government's funding was unchanged)."
Polly Simpson, a research economist at the IFS and an author of the report, said: "This research highlights the difficult budgetary trade-offs facing the Welsh Government.
"Protecting such large areas of spending as health, social care and education would require substantial cuts to other areas of spending that have often already had to absorb seven years of real-terms cuts.
"It is also important to realise that increases in the taxes under Welsh Government or councils' control is unlikely to be a panacea.
"For instance, even increasing council tax by over 7% a year, could still leave some council services facing double-digit cuts over the next three years."
A Welsh Government spokeswoman responded: "This report shows that the Welsh Government's budget will be 11.6% lower by 2019-20 compared to 2010-11 as a result of the UK Government's ongoing cuts to public finances and programme of austerity.
"We are currently developing our budget for 2017-18, which will be published on 18 October, and are looking at the long-term outlook and how the pressures identified by the IFS can be managed."
On concerns over EU aid post-Brexit, the spokeswoman added: "The first minister has made clear that he expects the UK Government to make good on the promise made to the people of Wales that we will not lose a penny in European funding."
A Treasury spokesman said capital budgets available to the Welsh Government for infrastructure investment will rise by more than £900m through to 2020-21.
He added: "Welsh Government budgets for day-to-day spending are reducing by an average of 0.8% per year in real terms over the Spending Review period, reflecting the application of the Barnett formula to decisions we took to continue to repair the public finances whilst protecting NHS and schools funding in England.
"How it allocates the funding available to it in its forthcoming budgets is, as the IFS note, a matter for the Welsh Government."
Firefighters have been tackling the blaze at Skip-It containers in North Quay Road, Newhaven, since Friday.
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service said they believed the burning rubbish had been extinguished but were checking for signs of smouldering.
Crews will remain at the depot for another 24 hours.
Most of the smoke from the blaze, which had been billowing hundreds of feet into the air, cleared on Monday.
An investigation is under way into the cause of the fire.
In a statement, East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, said: "It is believed the fire is now out but crews are working with the site operators to make sure this is the case.
"Piles of waste are being moved and checked for any signs of smouldering.
"It is likely that we will remain on site for a further 24 hours, along with other agencies including the Environment Agency."
Skip-It said the waste was compacted, baled household waste due to be exported to Germany for burning in an incinerator.
Police have named him as Arcan Cetin, 20, of Oak Harbor, Washington. He was born in Turkey and is a legal US permanent resident, officials say.
The arrest took place in Oak Harbor, a town south-west of Burlington where the shooting happened.
Five people were killed inside Macy's department store at Cascade Mall.
The FBI said there was no evidence that the shooting was linked to terrorism.
At a news conference, police said Arcan Cetin had been identified as a suspect after a car connected to him was seen on security camera footage at the shopping centre.
Lt Mike Hawley, of Island County Sheriff's Department, said the car was later spotted in Oak Harbor. He said he had been on his way to the scene when he saw the suspect by the side of a road and arrested him.
Lt Hawley said the man "said nothing, he was zombie like" and was not carrying a weapon.
So far, police say they know of no motive for the shootings.
Police had launched a huge manhunt after the shootings, releasing a blurred photo of the suspect at the scene.
Three women and a girl were killed inside Macy's while a man later died in hospital.
The Seattle Times reported that the youngest victim was 16-year-old Sarai Lara, who had survived cancer as a young child.
Her mother described her as a happy, responsible, driven student.
Police say security cameras showed the suspect entering the shopping centre without a weapon. Ten minutes later the video shows the suspect entering Macy's with a rifle.
The gunman had fled the scene by the time police arrived.
A prayer service for the victims was held on Saturday evening at the Central United Methodist Church in Sedro-Woolley, Washington.
Five candles, one for each victim, were lit on a table in front of the church.

Thousands expressed their interest in the Summer Safari Waterpark 2016 events advertised for 30 UK cities.
Councils where the events had been advertised said they had not received any applications to host the activity.
Facebook confirmed the pages had been removed for violating community standards.
Councillor Pat Karney from Manchester City Council had said the page "could be a scam".
Tony Neate, chief executive officer at Get Safe Online, said: "Hopefully Facebook has taken some measures into preventing these fake event scams.
"It's a group effort with these things, so the media, law enforcements, the government, Get Safe Online and companies like Facebook all need to work together with the public to put the right advice and processes in place to stop these scams from flourishing."
Water rides and slides, rapids, flumes, mini-beaches, bumper boats "and more" were promised on the site, with each page stating: "We will be secluding off an area to host our outdoor Water Park in your city, so lets Get Wet n Crazy!! This Summer 2016!!"
The Summer Safari Waterpark UK page did not ask for financial information from attendees and said "Please note dates are provisional, more info tba soon".
Event organisers did not provide contact details on the pages, with no phone number, company name or address to identify the people behind the activity.
Similar concerns were raised about a promotion for a non-existent tour based on the BBC's popular Total Wipeout series that were proved to be fake. Facebook also disabled that page.
Ex-Wales Tourist Board chief executive Jonathan Jones told BBC Wales the way business rates are calculated for self-catering holiday homes must change.
The owner of a complex of holiday cottages in Pembrokeshire cut his rates from over £5,000 to zero by appealing.
Jan Meulendijk said the business would have closed if he had lost the appeal.
Mr Meulendijk runs Rosemoor Holiday Cottages and Nature Reserve in Walwyn's Castle.
Businesses pay a percentage of what is known as a rateable value in business rates, and those rates are set every five years.
In 2010, the rateable value for Rosemore more than doubled to £13,000.
"Paying the rates was actually slowly beginning to kill the business," Mr Meulendijk said.
"Had we been forced to keep paying them we would have been forced to go under - it was more than the business could sustain."
The rateable value of his business was re-set at £6,000 and, as firms receive rate relief on rateable values of £6,000 or under, it means he no longer pays the tax, saving more than £5,000 a year.
Mr Jones, now working as a tourism consultant, appeared as an expert witness for Mr Meulendijk at his appeal and believes the result could have consequences for hundreds of other holiday property owners.
"What you need is a system whereby self catering businesses pay fair business rates," he said.
"I don't think anyone is talking that they don't pay business rates - they are running a business but it should be fair in relation to the contribution they make to the economy and to their business model."
The Valuation Office Agency, which sets rateable values for non-domestic property, said it was "content" that its approach was correct.
It said in a statement: "A decision on a particular property does not necessarily mean that the valuations of others require amendment.
"If someone feels our assessment may not be accurate, we would encourage them to discuss their circumstances with us - this is free of charge."

Swindon, 35 places above their hosts, were close to a first-half goal when home keeper Ryan Clarke clawed out Luke Norris' close-range header.
The small Hampshire club delighted 4,000 fans when Mikael Mandron deftly nodded in Jake Howells' free-kick.
But Clarke conceded a penalty, which Michael Doughty converted to equalise.
The National League side almost snatched a dramatic winner in injury-time when Ayo Obileye's shot was cleared off the line by Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill.
Ambitious Eastleigh had the honour of hosting the first televised FA Cup tie of the season, hoping to knock out Football League opposition in front of a BBC television audience, as Warrington and Salford had done in the previous two seasons.
So there was a party atmosphere as the home fans cheered a club who were playing in the ninth-tier Wessex League just 14 years ago.
The Silverlake Stadium went wild when France-born striker Mandron, who signed from Premier League side Sunderland in the summer, put them ahead after 64 minutes.

But then 34-year-old keeper Clarke brought down Doughty, who picked himself up to coolly drill in the bottom corner.
"The first goal should have been enough to win the game," said Eastleigh manager Ronnie Moore. "Then Clarkey had a rush of blood and it was a penalty.
"But we live to fight another day."
Clarke, who played for Oxford and AFC Wimbledon before becoming Ronnie Moore's first signing at Eastleigh, has only just returned to the side following the death of his father.
"Playing for 90 minutes is a release for me. He was a massive influence on my career," he said.
"It is tough but he would have wanted me to crack on and play with a smile on my face."
And Clarke produced the match's moment of outstanding quality with a save likened to England keeper Gordon Banks's acrobatic stop from Brazil legend Pele at the 1970 World Cup.
"That is a top save. I am thinking Gordon Banks," said BBC pundit Martin Keown. "How did Clarke get to that? Outstanding."
Clarke said he was "claiming it" as a save but there was a debate whether Norris' instinctive header had crossed the line or not.
Match of the Day pundit Phil Neville reckoned there was daylight between the ball and the goal. His colleagues Trevor Sinclair and Martin Keown disagreed.
So without the aid of goal-line technology - which is not used in the FA Cup - referee Oliver Langford and his assistants cannot be blamed for being uncertain the whole of the ball had crossed the line.
Judge for yourself....

The Confederation Cup holders took the lead after 19 minutes when a Hamza Lahmar free-kick found a way through the Mazembe wall.
Last year's African Champions League winners Mazembe scored an important away goal six minutes after half-time through Ivorian Roger Assale.
The other semi-final first leg is on Sunday as Algeria's Mouloudia Bejaia host FUS Rabat of Morocco.
Etoile and Mazembe have won nine African titles each, FUS Rabat won the tournament in 2010 leaving Bejaia chasing a first ever continental title.
A strong defence faced a formidable attack when first-time semi-finalists Mouloudia Bejaia hosted FUS Rabat on Sunday - and honours ended even at 0-0.
The home side, coached by former Algeria defender Nacer Sandjak, have conceded only three goals, all away from home, in eight matches en route to the penultimate stage.
And they were able to shut out their opponents, who have struck 23 goals in 12 games, despite having Adel Lakhdari sent off on 78 minutes for his second bookable offence.

Dan Geer said large bounties would prevent the vulnerabilities from ending up in the hands of criminal gangs or hostile authorities.
Mr Geer, whose tech firm assists the CIA, was referring to previously unknown security flaws, for which a patch is not yet available.
They are often used in cyber-warfare.
Tech news site the Register reported that Mr Geer, who made the suggestion in a keynote address at the Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas, said the tactic would only work if there were few vulnerabilities in existence.
"If there are many vulnerabilities, then we've wasted our money," he reportedly said.
"But if there are a limited number, by making them not weaponisable have we not contributed to world peace?
"The US can corner the market in this in a way few other countries can."
Mr Geer added that the government should consider paying 10 times more than anyone else would for the vulnerabilities.
Once a patch was found, authorities should make the vulnerabilities public, he advised.
Other cybersecurity experts unveiled their research at the annual conference.
Jesus Molina explained how he had taken over a hotel in Shenzhen, China, after hacking into the central system via a guest iPad in his room.
Mr Molina said he was able to control the rooms' temperature, lighting and even the hotel doors.
Another cybersecurity professional, Billy Rios, claimed to have found multiple vulnerabilities in the tech used by the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in airports.
He said he could gain access to the TSA's X-ray machines, as well as a system that tracks employees' shift changes and the scanners used to detect hazardous materials in luggage or clothing.
"They all have major issues," Mr Rios told the BBC.
However a representative of the company that develops the airport technology, Morpho, denied the devices were vulnerable to attack.
Speaking at a news conference in Washington, he denied any collusion with Russia during his election campaign last year.
"The entire thing has been a witch hunt and there is no collusion," he said.
Former FBI chief Robert Mueller has been selected to lead the inquiry.
Mr Mueller's appointment was welcomed by politicians from both sides.
Calls for a special investigation had mounted after Mr Trump fired FBI Director James Comey last week.
On Thursday, Mr Trump denied trying to influence the investigation by sacking Mr Comey.
"Director Comey was very unpopular with most people," he suggested.
"I actually thought when I made that decision... that it would be a bipartisan decision because you look at all of the people on the Democratic side, not only the Republican side, that were saying such terrible things about Director Comey."
On Wednesday, Mr Trump had said no politician in history "has been treated worse or more unfairly" than himself.
The announcement of a special counsel apparently took the White House by surprise, with Mr Trump only being informed of it after Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had signed the order.
The FBI and Congress are looking into potential links between Mr Trump's campaign team and Russia. Mr Mueller will take over the FBI investigation.
US intelligence agencies believe Moscow tried to tip November's presidential election in favour of Mr Trump.
Meanwhile, the New York Times reports that former Trump aide Michael Flynn told his transition team at the beginning of January - earlier than was previously thought - that he was under federal investigation for working as a paid lobbyist for Turkey during the election campaign.
Mr Trump appointed Mr Flynn as his national security adviser weeks later despite the warning, but he was sacked after just 24 days.
In his statement announcing Mr Mueller's appointment, Mr Rosenstein said: "The public interest requires me to place this investigation under the authority of a person who exercises a degree of independence from the normal chain of command."
Mr Mueller, who will have wide-ranging powers, said simply: "I accept this responsibility and will discharge it to the best of my ability."
In announcing the appointment of a special counsel, Mr Rosenstein cited the "unusual circumstances" of the ongoing FBI Russia investigation. That's an understatement.
The circumstances are not just unusual, they are unprecedented. The nation has never had an administration so embattled so early in its term. There have never been such grave allegations of electoral meddling by a foreign power in a US presidential election.
Then again there has never been a president quite like Donald Trump.
Now the Russia story enters a new, more serious phase. Robert Mueller has a sterling reputation in Washington, DC. He worked with Mr Comey when the latter served as deputy attorney general in George W Bush's administration. He understands pressure-cooker politics and knows how to navigate the corridors of power.
He has wide latitude to conduct his investigation and bring criminal charges, if necessary.
While Mr Mueller is technically still part of the justice department and ultimately reports to Mr Trump, his stature is such that he is unlikely to be cowed by the president.
Independent investigations often take on a life of their own and can reach unexpected conclusions. With Mr Mueller in the game, the stakes just went up.
Mr Black, 52, a father of two from Cookstown, was shot dead on the M1 motorway as he travelled to work at Maghaberry Prison in November 2012.
Sean McVeigh, of Victoria Street, Lurgan, County Armagh, had been charged with his murder.
That charge and another of possessing an assault rifle with the intent to endanger life were dropped on Tuesday.
A lawyer from the Public Prosecution Service told Craigavon Magistrates' Court: "The charges in this matter are to be withdrawn.
"No prosecution has been directed."
District judge Mervyn Bates told Mr McVeigh that he was free to go.
"As far as this matter is concerned you may be released from custody," he said. "This case is now at an end."
Mr McVeigh is to sue the PPS and Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) for the time he has spent in custody.
When he was first arrested and charged in February, Mr McVeigh's lawyers had requested that the PPS review the case as they said there was no evidence against their client.
Two other people have been charged in connection with the murder of David Black.
Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said his officers often had "limited options" in such circumstances.
His comments come after a Met police officer was filmed apparently attacking a car as the driver refused to get out.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission is investigating the incident.
The officer involved and his colleague have since been placed on restricted duties.
Refusing to comment on the specific incident, Sir Bernard said officers must consider the "gravity" of an alleged offence and what would happen if a suspect drove away.
At a meeting of London's Police and Crime Committee, he said: "If you've got a stopped vehicle and you can't get in what are you going to do - sit there all day?
"You've got to do something, so we do our best to get into the vehicle without causing any damage," he said, while admitting vehicles were "occasionally" damaged.
The commissioner said removing suspects from a stationary car reduced the chances of a subsequent pursuit.
He added: "One of the things you've got to look at is the gravity of the offence for which you want to arrest that person."
Asked whether driving offences might constitute a reason for police breaking into a car, he said there were a number of reasons why someone might be banned from driving and a "simple motoring offence" may not always be "as simple as it appears".
Sir Bernard also discussed the difficulties of police pursuits, following a crash in Penge, south London, last month in which two people died.
He said police drones, able to monitor suspect cars from the sky, might have a "small part to play" in the future while his "ideal scenario" would be an electronic device that "slowed down" pursued cars.
The officers were executing a warrant at a house in Bordesley Green at about midnight, West Midlands Police said.
Three men, aged 21, 27 and 34, are being held on suspicion of conspiracy to possess a controlled drug with intent to supply.
Officers seized a "large quantity" of suspected Class A drugs, police said.
All 11 have since been released from hospital.
"Inquiries are ongoing to establish exactly what the liquid was, although early indications suggest it may have been petrol mixed with an illegal drug, possibly heroin," a police spokesman said.
Fire crews assessed the scene, in Mill Burn Way, and established there was no further risk posed by the substance.
The house remains cordoned off and a number of road restrictions have since been lifted, police added.
Both the officers and men arrested suffered sickness and breathing difficulties after being exposed to the substance.
West Midlands Police was supporting officers from the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca), who executed the warrant in relation to illegal drugs.
Officers from both Soca and the West Midlands force became ill, West Midlands Police said.
Ch Insp Lee Wharmby said: "Events such as this always raise concern in communities, but I want to be clear that this is about drugs alone and not connected to terrorism."
He said the men were taken to Heartland Hospital for treatment.
"There are no long lasting effects for anybody within the local community," he added.
West Midlands Ambulance Service said 12 decontamination staff were put on standby but not needed.
Protesters held up banners saying "Bullfighting, the school of cruelty" and "Bullfighting, a national shame".
The number of bullfights is falling in Spain, but some 2,000 events are still held every year.
In June, the government of Castilla y Leon banned the killing of bulls at town festivals.
The move targeted the controversial Toro de la Vega festival, in Tordesillas, where horsemen chase a bull before spearing it.
Chelo Martin Pozo travelled from Seville to Madrid to join the demonstration.
"Bulls feel and they suffer," the 39-year-old said. "Bullfights are a national shame".
Madrid resident Azucena Perez said: "I think our laws should prohibit the torture of animals as a form of entertainment."
Recent opinion polls suggest public support for bullfighting has waned, but annual events, such as Pamplona's San Fermin, are still followed by a loyal crowd and many tourists.
Supporters of bullfighting, known as "aficionados", say the tradition is an ancient art form deeply rooted in national history. Among them is Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.
Fans have also organised demonstrations in favour of the tradition, attracting thousands of people.
But opponents describe the pageants as barbaric.
In 2010, Catalonia became the second Spanish region after the Canary Islands to ban the tradition.
And Madrid's leftist mayor, who took over last year, has withdrawn subsidies for bullfighting schools.
A bullfighter died in July after being gored, the first matador to die in the ring in the country for more than 30 years.
Grand master Matthew Festing, 67, had refused to cooperate with a Vatican inquiry into why he sacked the ancient Catholic order's grand chancellor.
Albrecht von Boeselager was dismissed over the condom programme last month.
It followed revelations that the Knights' charity branch had distributed thousands of condoms in Myanmar.
The Roman Catholic Church forbids the use of artificial contraception, although the Pope advocates tolerance in how this is enforced.
Pope Francis asked Mr Festing to step down at a meeting on Tuesday.
"The Pope asked him to resign and he agreed," a Knights of Malta spokesman said.
He added that the next step was a formality in which the group's Sovereign Council would have to sign off on the unusual resignation.
The 900-year-old order will be run by its number two, or grand commander, until a new head is elected.
Mr Boeselager has said he did not know about the condom distribution programme, which was an anti-HIV and family planning initiative, and stopped it when he learned of its existence.
The Sovereign Order of Malta traces its history to the 11th Century, with the establishment of an infirmary in Jerusalem that cared for pilgrims of all faiths.
The lay religious order of the Roman Catholic Church now has 13,500 members and 100,000 staff and volunteers, who provide healthcare in hospitals and clinics around the world.
The Order of Malta enjoys many of the privileges of a nation state. It issues its own stamps, passports and licence plates - and holds diplomatic relations with 106 states, the Holy See included.
Though the order sounds like a masculine institution, the Knights are not exclusively male. As of 2013, women made up about 30% of its members - known as the Dames.
The group is reportedly keen to shed its aristocratic image, and to attract new talent to continue its humanitarian work.
The BBC's David Willey gave his impressions of the Knights' headquarters during the order's 900th anniversary.
The order had previously called the Pope's review a legally "irrelevant" move aimed at limiting its sovereignty.
Pope Francis appointed a five-member commission to investigate the sacking in December, amid evidence that his own envoy to the group, conservative Cardinal Raymond Burke, had helped engineer it without his blessing.
The order said it had been an attempt to discredit members of the commission, but the Vatican ordered and ordered the leaders of the Knights of Malta to cooperate with the inquiry.
The papal commission was due to deliver its findings to the Pope at the end of the month.
Mr Ban's term as the world's top diplomat expires at the end of December.
In his final press conference as UN chief, Mr Ban said that after some rest he will return to South Korea and consider how best to help his country.
South Korea's next presidential election is scheduled to be held in December 2017.
However, a poll could take place within two months after the country's parliament voted to impeach current President Park Geun-hye over an influence-peddling scandal.
Ms Park is accused of allowing a close friend to profit from her connections with the presidency.
If the country's constitutional court upholds last week's impeachment vote, she will become the first sitting South Korean president to be deposed in the country's democratic era - and a new presidential election will be held within 60 days.
The constitutional court has 180 days to make a final ruling.
Mr Ban's comments come amid ongoing protests in the South Korean capital, Seoul.
Large crowds are expected to gather this weekend to demand that Ms Park resigns immediately, and to urge the constitutional court to formally remove her from office.
This will be the eighth consecutive week of protests against Ms Park.
While the rallies have been largely peaceful, there are fears that demonstrators could clash with thousands of the president's supporters who have planned their own protest near the court.
Ms Park's lawyer, Lee Joong-hwan, has said the court should restore the president's powers because there is insufficient evidence to justify her removal.
The case against Ms Park rests on her relationship with long-time friend Choi Soon-sil, who faces charges of coercion and abuse of power.
It is alleged that after Ms Park became president in 2013, Ms Choi, 60, used their friendship to pressure powerful corporations into donating to foundations she controlled and then siphoned off funds for her personal use.
Prosecutors say Ms Park had a "considerable" role in the alleged corruption. The president has denied that, but apologised for putting her trust in her jailed friend.
Ms Choi's criminal trial will begin on 20 December.

The Hallcroft care home in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire, was visited without notice by Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspectors in February.
They found poor relationships between staff and managers, incomplete records and residents left "socially isolated".
Owner Four Seasons Health Care said it had since "substantially improved the quality of care".
Issues at the home in Croft Avenue were first raised in 2014.
This year CQC inspectors found little progress had been made and rated the home "inadequate" in many areas.
Their report highlighted other issues including a lack of support for staff and agency staff inadequately trained, residents not being given showers and baths when they wanted and nursing call bells going unanswered for long periods of time.
A spokeswoman from Four Seasons Health Care said the wellbeing of residents was a "priority" and since the inspection the firm had put together an improvement plan.
"We are committed to providing person-centred care that meets the individual needs and preferences of all our residents," she said.
"We are confident that we have substantially improved the quality of care being provided."
The company said staff had been given additional training and regular meetings were taking place between residents and their relatives to update them on progress.
Researchers could not fully explain the link, but suggest a tendency for goths to distance themselves from society could play a part.
They say though the vast majority of teenage goths will have no problems, an important minority may need extra support.
The work appears in the journal Lancet Psychiatry.
The goth movement - with its emphasis on black clothes, heavy black make-up and sometimes gloomy music with doom laden lyrics - has been attracting adolescents for many years.
In this study, researchers looked at 3,694 15-year-olds based around Bristol.
They found the more young people identified with the goth subculture, the higher their likelihood of self-harm and depression.
Those who saw themselves as part of the goth group were already more likely to have shown signs of depression before the age of 15 and to have been bullied in the past.
But scientists argue the link remains even once these factors are accounted for.
Researcher Dr Rebecca Pearson, from the University of Bristol, said there could be many reasons behind the trend, including the possibility that teenagers susceptible to depression were attracted to the goth way of life.
She added: "The extent to which young people self-identify with goth subculture may represent the extent to which at-risk young people feel isolated, ostracised or stigmatised by society."
Nattalie Richardson, 29, is from Norfolk. She says her depression developed before she became a goth.
"I personally think that kids who are depressed or have mental illnesses are drawn to 'alt' style as a way of appearing as different on the outside as they feel on the inside," she says.
"I know that was the reason I started dressing differently and became alternative. That and the image went with the music I listened to that seemed to speak to the jumble that was inside my head and help me realise I wasn't the only one who felt the way I did as a teenager.
"I was depressed and ill before I was a goth."

Blogger and self-identifying goth Tim Sinister told BBC Radio 4's Today programme he did not believe teenage goths were more at risk of depression, but simply more open to talking about it.
"The goth scene is more tolerant and open to discussing depression, whereas society as a whole has more stigma around discussing mental health," he said.
Researchers say parents should not attempt to dissuade their children from belonging to a goth group as having friends and identifying with a community could protect them from depression.
Instead, they suggest families should remain vigilant and speak to their children about any concerns.
Prof Kevin McConway, pointed out that the study, which was conducted between 2007 and 2010, dealt with complicated issues that could change over time.
He agreed with the researchers that it was impossible to unpick cause and effect and would be wrong to assume that being a goth increases the chance of depression.
He added: "Even if we can't be sure about the cause, knowing about an association between goth identification and depression or self-harm might allow clinicians to more clearly identify and support those at risk."
For the purposes of this research, teenagers were asked how strongly they identified with the following groups - goths, sporty, populars, jitters/skaters (who skipped school for example), chavs, loners, keeners and bimbos - terms that had their own specific definitions within the study.
The term goth referred to teenagers who had a reputation of rebelling against the norm, in clothing or ideas for example, or avoided conforming to social ideals.
Surveillance video showed the theft happened in just 20 seconds while the armoured truck was briefly unattended.
The man struggled to carry the gold, taking an hour to lug his loot on a usually 10-minute walk, footage showed.
Authorities believe the man is hiding out in Florida's Orlando or Miami area, but he is still at large.
"I think he just saw an opportunity, took the pail and walked off," said NYPD Detective Martin Pastor, adding he believed the man had no idea what the bucket contained.
The gold was in an unmarked, sealed black metal bucket.
The suspect appeared to be loitering near the truck in busy Midtown Manhattan on 29 September when one of the guards left the truck to make a delivery.
A second guard stepped away to grab his mobile phone from the front seat of the truck when the thief seized the moment and made off with the bucket down West 48th Street.
The man is then seen on video carrying the five-gallon pail through the crowded streets of Manhattan, pausing to catch his breath from the weight of the gold, before he disappeared.
Police described the suspect as a Hispanic male, about 5ft 6in tall, 150lb and between 50 and 60 years old.
RWE Npower is planning to bring down the remains of the boiler house at the Didcot A plant which partly collapsed in February, killing four men.
Three bodies are yet to be recovered, despite protests by their families.
The energy company has now sent letters to people living nearby to inform them that preparations for the explosive demolition have started.
The letter said: "Further information on the exact timing will be made public 48 hours before the controlled explosive demolition.
"The explosion and collapse may be heard off site, however any noise will be over in under a minute. It is possible that there will be airborne dust, this is not harmful but could cause a nuisance.
"We would recommend keeping doors and windows closed to minimise noise and dust nuisance."
Plans are being finalised and are due to be submitted to a multi-agency strategy team, which includes the Health and Safety Executive.
Work to recover the men's bodies had been halted because contractors have reached a 50m (164 ft) exclusion zone.
In Oxfordshire County Council cabinet papers published earlier the cost to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service of attending the incident and subsequent search and recovery operations stands at £300,000.
The length of time to recover Christopher Huxtable, 34, from Swansea, Ken Cresswell, 57, and John Shaw, 61, both from Rotherham, has previously been criticised by some family members.
John Howley, the uncle of Mr Cresswell, described it as "diabolical".
Labour MP for Rotherham Sarah Champion also branded it a "national scandal".
A standoff developed in the city, with police forming a barrier between an angry crowd and foreign-owned shops.
The violence comes despite Thursday's rally against xenophobia in the coastal city of Durban, and condemnation from President Jacob Zuma.
At least five people have died in anti-foreigner attacks in recent weeks.
Migrants, mostly from other African states and Asia, have moved to South Africa in large numbers since white-minority rule ended in 1994.
Many South Africans accuse them of taking jobs in a country where the unemployment rate is 24%.
A crowd began looting foreign-owned shops in east Johannesburg on Thursday night. About about 200 foreigners took refuge at a police station.
Police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the looters and arrested 12 people.
A new standoff began in the eastern suburb of Jeppestown on Friday, as police sought to prevent people from attacking more shops.
Police used rubber bullets to disperse a group of migrants in Johannesburg who had armed themselves with machetes for protection.
What I saw when I was going to the shops on Thursday evening, it was so terrible.
A group of men were dropped from a mini bus, and all of them were armed with pangas, a [type of] very big knife.
They started chasing people, throwing stones at them. Some were even knifed.
We had to run for cover. We ended up in the shops, and the owners closed the shops while we were still inside until the police were called.
What I saw was terrifying, and if it continues like this by the time the government wakes up many people will be dead. It is very, very bad.
Africans call for South Africa boycott
The acting Premier of the Gauteng province around Johannesburg, Qedani Mahlangu, called on "each and every South African who's a peace-loving South African to stand up and condemn this."
On Thursday President Zuma condemned the recent xenophobic attacks as "shocking".
"No amount of frustration or anger can justify the attacks on foreign nationals and the looting of their shops," he told parliament on Thursday.
Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini has been accused of fuelling the attacks by saying that foreigners should "go back to their countries". However, he said that his comments had been distorted.
The police have established 24-hour centres to clamp down on attacks on foreign nationals, the BBC's Milton Nkosi in Johannesburg reports.
Several African states have said they are prepared to help their nationals return home.
Amid fears of reprisal attacks, energy and chemical giant Sasol said it would repatriate more than 300 South Africans working in Mozambique.
Official data suggests there are about about two million foreign nationals in South Africa, about 4% of the total population. But some estimates put the number of immigrants at five million.
Many South Africans are against the violence, but are also unhappy with the level of immigration and feel they are being undercut by immigrants from poorer countries, our correspondent adds.
At least 62 people died in xenophobic attacks in South Africa in 2008.
Regional reaction:
"Zimbabwe has to have its economy working again so that its citizens are not hunted like animals in foreign lands. The xenophobia is not only a shame for South Africa, but for the continent at large." - Zimbabwe's Newsday
"As Malawians, let us collectively take a stand to show our anger. For starters, let us boycott South African business empires." - Malawi's Nyasa Times
"The most worrying thing is that all of this in happened South Africa amidst the quasi-indifference from the authorities. It took a dozen days of deadly violence in Durban for the president to be roused to action." - Burkina Faso's L'Observateur

The 27-year-old called the pair out after winning the IBO super-middleweight title with a stoppage of Australian Renold Quinlan on Saturday.
DeGale holds the IBF super-middleweight belt, while Saunders is the only fighter to beat Eubank Jnr.
The Brighton fighter says he sparred with DeGale and "dealt with him".
He added: "I know what I can do to him. It's a fight the public want to see and now we have the platform. Let's do it."
Saunders beat Eubank Jnr on a split decision in November 2014 in his only defeat from 25 professional bouts so far in his career.
"I know Saunders is starving as well - no fans, fighting in leisure centres in front of 300 people," said Eubank Jnr.
"He needs to fight and we all want that fight, me more than anybody.
"Saunders is starving and I'm the food. Without me he hasn't got anything. The only thing he has is a win over me; that's his entire career and I need to right that wrong."
Eubank Jnr's father, who was a two-weight world champion in the 1990s, is keen for his son to fight DeGale.
"If we can make this fight with James DeGale, that we shall do," said Eubank Sr.
"We have been marinating him. I can smell it. When you're a fighter you are compelled to fight when you are being called out.
"Otherwise you look like the one thing you have been fighting against all your life, which is appear to be a punk."
Neville feels the return of Wayne Rooney, and the influx of other new signings, shows the club's ambition.
He said the club must now aim to climb the league like Spurs have in recent seasons with a young side.
"If the window closed today, Everton have done the best business," he said.
Everton have had a busy summer of transfer activity with manager Ronald Koeman bringing in goalkeeper Jordan Pickford from Sunderland and attacking midfielder Davy Klaassen from Ajax, while England defender Michael Keane was signed from Burnley, and fellow defender Cuco Martina came on a free transfer from Southampton.
Young forward Sandro Ramirez joined from Malaga, while England international Rooney arrived from Manchester United just days before fellow striker Romelu Lukaku went the other way - joining United for a fee of £75m.

Neville, who left Old Trafford to move to Everton in 2005 and went on to make over 300 appearances for the Merseyside club, feels the Blues could be set to join the sides at the top of the table in the same manner as Spurs have done under Mauricio Pochettino.
"Everton have to look at Tottenham," he added.
"Four or five years ago, Tottenham and Everton were on similar levels, Tottenham kicked on and Everton didn't but now I think they are well capable of doing a Tottenham - producing a young team with a brilliant manager in Ronald Koeman.
"Everton have bought quality and what is more exciting is the young players breaking through - couple that with Wayne Rooney and it should be good. Everton could be one of the teams to watch this year."
Neville said the free transfer signing of former United skipper Rooney could be the difference.
"They have been very proactive, they have not waited for Lukaku to leave, they have said 'let's get our players in first and take some of the pressure off'," he said.
"I remember when I was at Everton with David Moyes. We sold Joleon Lescott one summer and Mikel Arteta towards the end [of the transfer window] - when you sell those players it puts added pressure on and fans get a little angry.
"They have actually signed four or five players, the fans are happy, it softens the blow of Lukaku leaving with knowing full well there are one or two more to come.
"I think the signing of Rooney gels it all together for Everton. There is no way Wayne Rooney would go back to Everton if he didn't think they were going to win things, that is for sure."
Ministers have promised that by 2020, people will have access to GPs seven days a week - and have pledged 5,000 extra doctors to help achieve that.
But RCGP president Maureen Baker said they would largely be needed to plug gaps in the current workforce.
The government said surgeries should work together to deliver the service.
There are no official figures for GP vacancy rates, but Dr Baker said evidence from its members suggested the vacancy rate could be more than 10%.
"We haven't the nurses and the support staff to do the hours we're already contracted to do, never mind extend those.
"Therefore, frankly, 08:00 to 20:00, seven days a week for routine general practice is unachievable."
Dr Baker said pushing ahead with the plans in the current climate could cause problems. "The danger is that in order to provide services over those extended hours, that you destabilise other parts of the service.
"You're fishing from the same pool, so if those doctors are attracted into that work, instead of out-of-hours service for instance, then there's a risk that you destabilise the out-of-hours service so that people can come and have routine care on a Sunday teatime."
The British Medical Association has also questioned the policy, saying investment should be concentrated on existing services.
In terms of numbers of GPs working in England, the picture is complex. Health and Social Care Information Centre data shows that, in 2009, there were 32,111 GPs once doctors in training and retainers, mainly retired GPs who do a few shifts, are excluded.
In 2014, that had risen by just over 500 to 32,628. A sign of improvement? Not quite. If the population rise is factored in, the number of GPs per 100,000 people dropped from 62.4 to 60.6.
Another way of looking at the issue is to consider waiting times. But again that is not so easy to gauge. Unlike hospital or A&E waiting, GP data is not tracked officially.
The best source of information is therefore the official GP survey carried out by Ipsos MORI for NHS England. On a number of key measures, including overall experience and ability to be seen, ratings have fallen.
Three-quarters of respondents said they were satisfied with their surgery's opening hours last year - a drop of 4.8 percentage points since December 2012.
Senior GP Sir Sam Etherington, who was appointed by the NHS to lead the work on redesigning primary care, said there was "a lot more that could be done"
He said this was achievable in the next five years with "more resources" and if technology - including GP appointments by telephone - was used "much more efficiently" in the NHS.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has said he is "absolutely focused" on making seven-day GP opening happen.
At the start of the summer, he reiterated the commitment made in the Conservative manifesto to recruit 5,000 extra GPs, while setting out what he said was a "new deal" for the profession.
It included promises to look at making it easier to return to the profession or work part-time as well as floating the idea of financial incentives to encourage doctors to work in areas where there were shortages. Talks with the British Medical Association are due to get under way later in the autumn.
Mr Hunt said: "We just have to recognise that it's not just about convenience, people don't just get ill Monday to Friday, they get ill every day of the week. Our health is the most important thing for each and every one of us."
A Department of Health spokeswoman said: "Patients want to be able to see a GP in the evening and at weekends.
"There are already 2,500 practices working towards this and they understand we're not asking individual GPs to work seven days a week - it's about surgeries working together to provide this service.
"This is backed up by our commitment to deliver an estimated 5000 more doctors in general practice by 2020."
Manager Michael O'Neill and his unsung squad have battled against the odds to reach their first major tournament since the 1986 World Cup in Mexico - and their first European Championship finals.
It is a tremendous story of determination and team spirit - and France will surely be richer for their presence next summer.
This was arguably Windsor Park's most important one-off qualifier since November 1981 when Gerry Armstrong's winner against Israel sent manager Billy Bingham's side to Spain for the next summer's World Cup.

The nerveless victory against Greece encapsulated a wonderful campaign, an unlikely success story, and by reaching Euro 2016 O'Neill's men have equalled - some would even say surpassed - the achievement of reaching those World Cup finals in the 1980s.
O'Neill's players can take pride of place in Northern Ireland folklore and now start making headlines alongside fellow countryman Rory McIlroy, the golfing superstar who has carried the country's sporting flag so brilliantly in recent years.
McIlroy was in the crowd at Windsor Park lending his support, along with IBF super-bantamweight boxer Carl Frampton, watching new Northern Ireland sporting heroes emerge.
Belfast was alive with anticipation from early on Thursday morning, social media flooded by Northern Ireland fans expressing their hopes and dreams.
In a country of just 1.8 million people, with players pulled in from the game's outposts, O'Neill has led his men from the very depths of despair to the heights of ecstasy that greeted the final whistle after the 3-1 win over Greece had sealed their place in France.
As the players posed for selfies, supporters stayed in their seats long after the final whistle, and the country started a party that might last until next summer, the scale of what they have done bears close examination.
Just seven months into O'Neill's reign, they hit their lowest ebb as they were 129th in the Fifa rankings - they now stand proudly at 35th.
England expect qualification as they call on players from the Premier League's superpowers. Northern Ireland have pulled this off on the international equivalent of a shoestring budget.
And to put the achievement into a recent historical context, it was only two years ago that they lost successive games 3-2 to Luxembourg - only that country's fourth international win - and 2-0 in Azerbaijan.
From threatening to preside over one of Northern Ireland's most embarrassing footballing eras, O'Neill has transformed it into glory that will now be showcased in France.
And the way in which he has manoeuvred a low-key squad means he can rightly take his place alongside Bingham, manager at the 1982 and 1986 World Cups, and Peter Doherty, who was in charge for the 1958 World Cup in Sweden.
What may make this qualification one of Northern Ireland's greatest sporting feats is that while those squads of the 1980s contained some of the country's greats, so many players now have forged a career in the lower leagues.
In those World Cups, Bingham's sides were burnished by the likes of legendary goalkeeper Pat Jennings and Manchester United pair Norman Whiteside and Sammy McIlroy.
He also had players experienced at the highest level, such as Nottingham Forest European Cup winner Martin O'Neill and striker Gerry Armstrong, scorer of that famous winner in the 1-0 victory over Spain on their own turf in the summer of 1982.
Those players were feted as sporting icons of the time alongside world featherweight boxing champion Barry McGuigan, "The Clones Cyclone".
Now O'Neill and his players have the opportunity to write their names alongside those greats in Northern Ireland's sporting history.
England can call on the cream of the Premier League, Wales can pull in a superstar from La Liga in Real Madrid's Gareth Bale - but Northern Ireland cast their net around the lower divisions for the majority of their squad.
And yet they have made the finals in France, getting their vital win without their most experienced defender, West Bromwich Albion's Jonny Evans, after he was injured at the weekend and top scorer Kyle Lafferty, who has scored seven goals in qualifiers but was suspended on Thursday.
Derby County defender Chris Baird was also missing through suspension - no problem for a squad built on passion, spirit and no little ability.
There was a Premier League presence in the starting line-up in the shape of Manchester United youngster Paddy McNair, 35-year-old West Bromwich Albion defender Gareth McAuley and his Baggies' team-mate Chris Brunt.
Watford's Craig Cathcart also played his part, with 30-year-old Southampton midfield man Steven Davis the hero of the night with two goals.
They are among the bigger names, but the likes of 31-year-old Hamiton Academical keeper Michael McGovern, Reading's Oliver Norwood, Blackburn Rovers' Corry Evans, Stuart Dallas of Leeds United, Nottingham Forest's Jamie Ward and Kilmarnock's Josh Magennis, the other goalscorer, all added their names to the list of heroes.
Magennis was not even born the last time Northern Ireland reached a major tournament.
Elsewhere, and equally valuable to O'Neill, are squad members such as Fleetwood Town right-back Conor McLaughlin, who was playing a 1-0 defeat at Scunthorpe United last weekend that left them 23rd in League One.
He was suspended for the Greece game - but has played his part in the Euro 2016 campaign and can now look forward to a drastic change of sporting scenery in France next summer.
It is the way in which O'Neill has moulded this nomadic group together that is a tribute to him and them - and proof that team spirit, shrewd man management and growing confidence can go a long way.
When O'Neill presided over those two humiliating defeats to Luxembourg and Azerbaijan in a dismal 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign, even he would have thought the notion of him as a national hero far-fetched.
Not any more as he can now be bracketed with the great managers of this small, proud sporting country as it prepares for Euro 2016. How wonderfully he has rewarded the Irish FA for keeping faith despite those humbling losses.
The 46-year-old took charge at the end December 2011, shortly after leaving Shamrock Rovers, where he made history as they became the first League Of Ireland side to reach the group stages of a European competition, in the Europa League.
The celebratory scenes of Thursday in Belfast looked far distant after a World Cup Campaign that brought only one win 10 qualifiers, but O'Neill's calm, measured approach - allied to superb man management - has turned Northern Ireland's fortunes around.
A keen devotee of modern football techniques and sports science, he has forged a close bond with his players, perhaps best exemplified by the manner in which the unpredictable and temperamental Lafferty, prone to indiscipline, has become the symbol of his and Northern Ireland's success.
O'Neill had a journeyman's playing career as a forward, starting at Coleraine and moving between England and Scotland with clubs such as Newcastle United, Dundee United, Hibernian and Coventry City. He won 31 Northern Ireland caps, scoring four goals.
His managerial road started at Brechin City before reaching its peak on Thursday night. O'Neill may be understated and not a character to shout from the rooftops - but why should he when results speak so eloquently on his behalf?
And while much focus has been placed on how he has galvanised a group of players, many of whom are under the radar when it comes to profile, it must not be forgotten that Northern Ireland have played with style as well as spirit in this qualifying campaign.
Six wins from nine games, with only one defeat in Romania, leaves them with every chance of topping Group F, three points clear of the Romanians as they go into their last game away to Finland on Sunday.
O'Neill has been the catalyst. His achievement will inevitably catch the eye of clubs - but for now this most focused of individuals can concentrate on his greatest challenge with Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland's real victory is reaching the Euros when few gave them a chance. Now can they make fresh shockwaves at Euro 2016?
It must not be forgotten they finished fifth in their 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign, below Azerbaijan and just a point ahead of Luxembourg. This is an illustration of the country's rapid football rise.
Reality states that they will travel to France as one of the underdogs - but history also tells us Northern Ireland must never be underestimated.
Memories of 15 June 1982 and the night hosts Spain were beaten in Valencia at the World Cup will be revived.
Northern Ireland's results prove they cannot be taken lightly and O'Neill's men, plus thousands of fans, will travel with confidence.
The play co-stars John Simm, Keith Allen, Ron Cook, Gary Kemp and John Macmillan.
Chan plays Ruth, the wife of Teddy, the eldest and most successful of three sons who has returned to London from the US where he is greeted by his physically and mentally abusive father and his brothers and uncle.
Yes it's full on, it doesn't let up at all - you can't drop your concentration for a second. It's a wonderful play because there's no fat on there. In every moment there is something going on, the power is shifting or the dynamics of the scene. I've not watched it from the outside but when you're in it, it's very full on.
It's wonderful writing and Pinter, in a way, these characters he created - particularly the male characters and their attitudes and the way they behave - it's still quite shocking. I can't imagine how shocking it would have been in 1965 but I think he created characters that are still incredibly interesting.
The traits that you see in certain characters you can still see in society today. I still think the play's got something to say and I love my character - she's been fascinating to explore and try and understand where she's coming from. A lot of people think she's controversial and ask why she behaves the way she behaves, and it's been really interesting trying to work that out.
There is a lot of ambiguity with the character and in [Pinter's] text, but as you work on it you have to make choices and decide what your truth is. It was interesting to work with [director] Jamie [Lloyd] and the other actors to say: "What is the truth with these characters, what's happened between Teddy and Ruth and their marriage?"
It could well change. We've got three months to go and I have my own ideas of what she might do next and I'm looking forward to getting to grips with that.
I've loved it. I love a pause and a silence so I will happily milk those. But Jamie said to us when we were rehearsing: "You've got to explore why the pause might be there, they're not just there by coincidence."
He's put them there for a reason - sometimes it might just be because he thinks there will be a laugh, other times there's something going on between the characters and you have to allow that to be alive on stage. It's been really technical but once you have examined it forensically, you can then just enjoy what he's written.
I'm the same age as John Macmillan (who plays amateur boxer Joey) but I can't compete with their anecdotes during rehearsal, they have a few between them. They have been wonderful - there are quite a few personalities in there but I can honestly say that we didn't fall out once, which was great. All the drama was in the scenes, there's been a lot of laughter.
I don't know, I haven't really got a master plan. After this, I have to do Humans series two and that's five months of next year. Then I'm open to to anything interesting that comes up.
Absolutely, I have a love/hate relationship with technology. It's frightening how much we rely on it but how little we understand it and when it breaks, we're screwed because we don't know how to fix it.
I hate that but at the same time, I couldn't live with without it. I think the show's resonated with people because of their dependence on and wariness of rapidly advancing technology.
I haven't, I've heard some rumours but they are keeping me in the dark too.
I'd love to see it expand and to see what's going on in other parts of the world. I'd love the characters to be moving on and exploring, particularly my character. I've heard that the scripts are very good though.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, 26, is tipped to become the next leader of the People's Party (PPP), currently headed by his father Asif Ali Zardari.
He told supporters in Karachi: "If you want to save Pakistan, the only answer is Bhuttoism and the PPP."
He had previously been forced to keep a low profile because of Taliban threats.
The BBC's Shahzeb Jillani in Karachi says that for weeks, life-sized pictures of the Bhutto dynasty have featured on billboards all over Karachi.
They show Mr Bhutto Zardari, Benazir Bhutto and his grandfather, Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto - Pakistan's first democratically elected leader, who was hanged by the army in 1979.
Karachi has not seen such a huge PPP rally for years. The party is trying to show that it still has mass appeal, and can compete with other opposition politicians such as Imran Khan. It is, after all, a party that has fought military dictatorships in Pakistan time and again over the last four decades.
But in the end, the rally was seen as a government-sponsored event, because the party still governs the southern province of Sindh. Many of the tens of thousands of people who attended were bussed in from the party's rural strongholds.
They came to hear their young leader Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, in whom many party loyalists see a reflection of his assassinated mother, Benazir Bhutto. There was little substance in his speech, though he made some bold points about the need to fight militancy and protect religious minorities.
He attacked political opponents across the political spectrum, but he said nothing about how he plans to tackle allegations of corruption and improve governance in Sindh.
Our correspondent says there was a festive mood among PPP workers, many of whom have travelled by bus from rural areas of Sindh province, which is governed by the party.
The organisers say the event was attended by more than 100,000 people.
Everyone attending the rally had to undergo a security screening, and cars are being banned from travelling nearby.
In the run-up to the May 2013 general election, Mr Bhutto Zardari could not hold public gatherings because of threats to his life.
The party, which had governed since 2008, lost the election after being blamed for misrule and accused of corruption and being out of touch.
More recently, the PPP appears to have lost more ground to opposition politicians such as Imran Khan, our correspondent says.

The member of the public brought the feline fatality to the Guernsey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GSPCA) for identification.
Manager Steve Byrne said a "closer look" revealed the deceased pet was in fact "a very muddy, wet, insect-covered" dog puppet.
"An air of sadness soon turned to laughter," he said.
He said: "When a member of public arrives with what is said to be a dead cat your heart sinks as it is never an easy moment when we aren't able to help an animal.
"There are many rescues and calls that the GSPCA are involved with every week and sometimes they aren't what we expect and this has certainly turned out to be one of the most unusual we have ever seen."
Other GSPCA mistaken identity cases
Mr Byrne said he was keen to reunite the puppet with its owners and described it as black and white with a missing nose and a green collar.

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

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

The fire is believed to have started at an art gallery which faces Exeter Cathedral in Devon, but has now spread to the nearby Royal Clarence Hotel.
Guests have described being evacuated from the building, which dates back to 1769, amid flames, ash and debris.
Historian Dr Todd Gray said the buildings were "hugely significant".
Latest on the fire, and other Devon news
Hotel guest Lucy, from Australia, told Radio Devon: "I was woken up by the fire alarm at five o'clock. Someone was banging on the door and all I could see were orange flames through the window.
"I grabbed my passport there was a lot of fiery ash falling down. The building was totally in flames."
A Canon at Exeter Cathedral said she had seen "flying debris".
Anna Norman Walker, who can see the fire from her window, said: "The main concern was a lot of debris flying from the roof of the affected building which was travelling - certainly some of it made it to the roof of the Royal Clarence Hotel."
The hotel has been evacuated and all staff and residents are accounted for. There are no reported casualties.
A spokesperson from the hotel said: "We are continuing to monitor the situation and send our sympathy to our neighbours and all those affected by the fire."
Talking about the hotel's history, Mr Gray said: "It's the building where they first declared themselves as a hotel, before that we had inns, but they took the new French word and applied it to their building. This was the place to stay.
"All these buildings have medieval origins and the buildings in between are very fine 17th century buildings of Exeter at its height. So whatever you see from the outside, it's got a deeper, more interesting past just behind the plasterwork.
"It's hugely significant for Exeter."
Cathedral Green was the medieval hub of the city. It's not only where the church was concentrated, but it was the business hub of the city from the 15th to 18th centuries. This is where all the trade took place, this is where you did your business deals.
It was also where the anti slavery people met in the 1700s and 1800s, where they planned abolition.
Beatrix Potter came here in 1892 and looked out and said 'what a fine view this is'. It was the place to be.
But the hotel had a murkier past later on when it was where the fascists met in the 1930s.
Millions of people over the years have poured into the close to have a look.
Gentlemen would rent rooms all year just to have a presence in Exeter.
To lose this would be a great tragedy for Exeter. It's a key building - it's the heart of the city.
About 110 firefighters, police and paramedics are at the blaze, which began at about 05:20 BST.
Incident officer Bill Haberton, from Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service, said they were "throwing a lot of resources" at the fire.
He said: "We're going to be taking water from various locations because we're overrunning the water supply in the middle of Exeter at the moment."
A couple who live in a pub nearby evacuated for fear of the blaze spreading to their premises.
Kirsty said the flames had gone up quickly.
She said: "We heard the noise and looked out the window and saw the flames and decided we didn't want to be there.
"We'd seen the flames go up, it's a bit scary really.
"The pub we live in is made of wood so we didn't want to be there really."
Rob added: "It brings it home a bit, it's a little bit scary. You don't think a building would go up that quick but it's gone."
As a result of the fire, Queen Street, High Street, Cathedral Green and other surrounding roads are closed.
His death was confirmed by publicist and former girlfriend Cynthia Bowman, who said he died of multiple organ failure and septic shock.
Although the band was fronted by vocalists Grace Slick and Marty Balin, Kantner was considered a driving force.
With songs like Somebody To Love and Volunteers, the San Francisco group helped pioneer the psychedelic sound.
They formed in 1965 when folk artist Balin decided to create a rock group in response to the Beatles-led British Invasion.
Kantner, a college drop out who was already a familiar face on the San Francisco circuit, was the first person he approached.
"He was the first guy I picked for the band and he was the first guy who taught me how to roll a joint," Balin wrote on Facebook after learning his death.
"And although I know he liked to play the devil's advocate, I am sure he has earned his wings now," he said.
The band quickly attracted a local following - and when fledgling promoter Bill Graham opened his legendary Fillmore Auditorium, Jefferson Airplane served as the first headliner.
Signed to RCA Records for the then-princely sum of $25,000, the band scored five gold albums in the US, including 1967's Surrealistic Pillow and 1968's Crown of Creation in their first run of success.
Early hit White Rabbit combined the story of Alice In Wonderland with a drug trip; but later songs adopted the political stance of the hippie movement, with 1969's We Can Be Together declaring: "We are obscene, lawless, hideous, dangerous, dirty, violent and young... but we should be together".
The band advocated sex, psychedelic drugs, rebellion and a communal lifestyle, operating out of an eccentric house near Haight-Ashbury.
Its members supported various political and social causes, tossed out LSD at concerts and played at both the Monterey and Woodstock festivals - where the band's set was scheduled for Saturday evening but wound up taking place at 08:00 the next morning.
Their badges and bumper stickers read "The Jefferson Airplane Loves You" - but their idealism took a knock at the Rolling Stones' Altamont Festival, where a group of Hells Angels, who had been hired as security, killed a spectator and beat Balin unconscious.
The group began to fragment soon after, with Kantner releasing a well-received solo album, Blows Against the Empire, and other members forming the blues-rock band Hot Tuna.
Kantner rejoined Balin and Slick, who was by then his wife, in 1974 under the name Jefferson Starship. They continued to have success until the 1980s, against a backdrop of litigation with an old manager and former band members.
The guitarist left in 1984, saying "the band became more mundane and not quite as challenging and not quite as much of a thing to be proud". He then took legal action against the remaining members, forcing them to truncate their name to Starship.
That incarnation of the group later had two global hit singles with Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now and We Built This City; while Kantner reformed and toured with various versions of Airplane, Starship and his own KBC band in the 1990s and 2000s.
"Our condolences go out to the friends, family and fans of Paul Kantner of Jefferson Airplane on the news of his passing," members of the Doors wrote on their Facebook page.
"Music would not be the same without the sounds of The Doors and Jefferson Airplane, which both contributed so heavily to the signature sound of the sixties and seventies."
The Recording Academy, which is due to award Jefferson Airplane a lifetime achievement Grammy this year, mourned Kantner as "a true icon" of the 1960s music scene in a statement.
Kantner is survived by three children; sons Gareth and Alexander, and daughter China, a former MTV presenter.
Funeral arrangements will be announced at a later date.
Launching the party's Countryside Charter, he said the plans would ensure local residents were not priced out of the property market.
They would allow local authorities to charge 200% council tax in some areas.
The Lib Dem leader also wants to create 300,000 jobs in rural areas if the party has power after the election.
Mr Clegg said the proposed second home levy was aimed at ensuring there was "fairness in the housing market".
'Close the gap'
On a campaign visit to St Austell, Cornwall, he said the levy could help "particularly in such a wonderful part of the country as this where there are so many people with second homes and where the prices, because of that, are way beyond the reach of many young people wanting to get their feet on the first rung of the property ladder".
A source said: "We are not saying this will be imposed."
But he added that local authorities in areas including Cumbria, Cornwall and Devon had said they would be interested in higher council tax rates to "discourage" second home ownership.
In the census, Cornwall was the local authority where the greatest number of people recorded a second address. A total of 22,997 people who were usually resident elsewhere in England and Wales, had a second address in Cornwall which was used for 30 days or more each year.
Launching his party's charter, he said he also wanted to "close the gap" between urban and rural areas in the provision of high-speed broadband, ensuring that 99.9% of households were covered.
Mr Clegg said the rural economy was worth £210bn and was crucial to the UK.
Where do people have holiday homes?
Source: Census 2011 - Office for National Statistics
How many people have second homes?
He added: "The Liberal Democrats want to unlock this potential so rural areas and the rest of the UK can thrive.
"In order to prosper, rural areas need good local services, appropriate infrastructure and more housing.
"Only the Liberal Democrats will create a stronger economy and fairer society where everyone and every part of the UK can reach its full potential."
This election issue includes rural and agricultural policies and countryside funding.
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
The party also says it will take action to protect rural post offices and other essential services from closure; prioritise rural housing and boost tourism by introducing a "fuller" right to roam, and new national nature parks.
The charter will also aim to support fishing communities and make rural settlements safer by creating "retained" police officers, who would be fully trained and on-call to respond quickly where needed.
Other measures include help for farming, strengthening the powers of the Groceries Code Adjudicator to ensure farmers are paid fairly, publishing a national food strategy, and developing an animal disease strategy to lessen the risks and costs of animal disease.
On rural issues, the Conservatives have pledged to invest £2.3bn in more than 1,400 flood defence schemes to protect 300,000 homes, while Labour said they would protect food producers from unfair practices by big supermarkets.
The Greens would end factory farming and animal testing and improve protection for animals, and UKIP pledge to abolish the export of live animals for slaughter.

It will be an unfamiliar tag, given they have won the competition a record 13 times.
One man managed the Gunners to 10 wins in 10 final appearances between 1993 and 2009, and for the majority of those successes he was also working as Arsenal's men's first-team kit manager.
Meet Vic Akers - the most successful manager in the history of English women's football.
As well as success on the pitch, Akers was passionate in trying to ensure the Women's FA Cup final would one day grace England's national stadium.
"It's paramount for the women's game, "Akers told BBC Sport. "We always said, if it was at Wembley, we could have 30-40,000 there. We were fighting for 15 years plus.
"Could they have held it on the same day as the (men's FA Trophy) or the Vase? Now it's there, it's just fantastic."
Saturday's all-London final under the Wembley arch, in front of a record crowd in excess of 30,000, will be in stark contrast to Arsenal's first Women's FA Cup triumph at Oxford's Manor Ground, watched by 3,547.
The venue, which was demolished in 2001, still holds special memories for Akers as his side beat the then-holders Doncaster Rovers Belles 3-0.
"The first one is always the best. They're all great memories but winning that first final was special," Akers said.
"That was probably our biggest feat because they were the successful side at the time.
"The commitment of the players was marvellous, some of them travelling from all over, from Southampton even, working full-time."
What was the secret to success over a sustained period of more than 16 years? "I was very fortunate to have worked with some great players and staff," Akers said.
"In the early days, there was no money in the women's game. Girls paid to play. But we managed to rebuild teams over the years.
"I am very thankful to David Dein (Arsenal's former vice-chairman) for his support - without him, I wouldn't have my OBE."
When Akers' side beat Charlton 3-0 at Queens Park Rangers' Loftus Road in 2004, Scotland's Julie Fleeting was the heroine, scoring a brilliant hat-trick - but it was not as straight forward as it sounds.
"Julie Fleeting played for Scotland the day before and picked up an injury," Akers revealed. "She had treatment in the hotel and we doubted if she could make it, to be fit in time for the final.
"We knew it would be a massive blow - we later found out just how big a blow it would have been, because she scored a hat-trick.
"That was absolutely amazing, that hat-trick."
While Arsenal Ladies have never played a Women's FA Cup Final at Wembley before, under Akers they did make one rare, historic appearance at the home of football in another competition.
In 1993, the first year women's football came under the auspices of the Football Association, Arsenal beat Knowsley United (now known as Liverpool Ladies) 3-0 in the final of the Women's Premier League Cup.
The date was Saturday, 29 May and the match was played on the same day, at the same ground, as the men's Football League Third Division play-off final. York City won 5-3 on penalties against a Crewe side that included ex-Northern Ireland midfielder Neil Lennon.
It was a unique foray to the home of football for the women's game at the time, and specifically for the League Cup, for which many of the early finals were held at Barnet's old Underhill Stadium.
"We didn't change in main dressing rooms," Akers revealed. "We changed in the opposite end to where the tunnel was.
"There were not many spectators."
Akers, who watched from the stands as Chelsea beat Notts in the 2015 final to secure the first part of a league and cup double, says he will be rooting for individuals on both sides on Saturday.
"Several of the girls at Chelsea used to play for me at Arsenal," he added. "It's great for all the girls.
"I'll have divided loyalties a bit. I'm delighted for all the girls who have got there.
"I've been able to experience the final over the past two years with the men's side, but this will be something special."
In this season's semi-finals, Arsenal thrashed Sunderland 7-0 while Chelsea beat league leaders Manchester City 2-1 after extra-time.
A lack of shelter, contaminated water and poor sanitation could lead to cholera, dysentery and other water-borne diseases, the charities said.
The UK's Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) said in some areas people were living and defecating in the open.
The umbrella organisation, formed of 12 charities, said immediate action was needed to tackle the problem.
The 7.8-magnitude earthquake is now known to have killed more than 7,000 people and injured more than 10,000.
More than 4,000 aid workers from around the world have been helping with relief and rescue operations.
A spokesman for the DEC, which has been running a major appeal to provide aid to the country, said there had already been reports of diarrhoea outbreaks and chest infections.
DEC member agencies have been working to provide better emergency shelter and to ensure drinking water and sanitation are a part of the emergency response.
The scale and cost of this aspect of the response are still being assessed but it was clear action was needed now before the rainy season starts in June, a spokesman said.
"Cholera is endemic in Nepal, so an outbreak would not be unprecedented; last year 600 people caught cholera and in 2009 a major outbreak affected more than 300,000 people," he added.

The DEC appeal has so far raised more than £33m and the UK government has committed £17.5m in humanitarian aid to date, making it the largest international donor.
Trucks of water are being delivered to camps to provide drinking water for displaced people, establishing toilets in camps and distributing family hygiene kits and providing information on the importance of hand-washing.
British rescuers have also been playing a key role in the relief effort which has followed the Nepal earthquake.
Among the work by the UK International Search and Rescue team deployed by the Department for International Development has been taking a four-year-old girl with a serious leg injury to a field hospital for treatment and treating a young boy's broken arm using a plastic bottle as a splint.
Glynnis Brooks, head of health, water, sanitation and hygiene at the British Red Cross, said: "Water and sanitation remain critical at this stage of the disaster, as those affected are generally much more susceptible to illness and death from disease.
"Given the scale of the damage to infrastructure near the epicentre of the quake, rehabilitation of water supplies will take time, so it is essential that humanitarian agencies assist the government by providing people affected with clean, safe water supplies."
Among the DEC member agencies, Oxfam has been providing water and sanitation in four camps in the Kathmandu Valley and Action Aid has distributed disinfectant kits for cleaning to 2,500 people in Khokana and Paanga just outside Kathmandu.
Care has been delivering jerry cans and hygiene items including soap, and is also distributing water purification tablets to people who are particularly susceptible to water-borne illness such as diarrhoea.
Smith and Ouzman Ltd gave £400,000 in backhanders to officials in Kenya and Mauritania for deals worth £2.26m to make ballot papers.
Sales and marketing director Nicholas Smith, 43, was jailed following an earlier trial at Southwark Crown Court.
His father, chairman Christopher Smith, received an 18-month suspended term.
The 72-year-old, who was convicted of two counts of corruptly agreeing to make payments, was told he would have to carry out 250 hours of unpaid work and given a three month curfew.
His son was found guilty of three counts of the same charge.
Both men were also disqualified from being company directors for six years, and have resigned from the company.
Smith and Ouzman, based in Eastbourne, which specialises in security documents such as ballot papers and certificates, was also convicted of the same three offences and will be sentenced in October.
The hearing will also deal with confiscation proceedings against the company and the individuals.
It is the first time a British company has been found guilty of bribing foreign agents, and follows an investigation by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO).
It targeted Kenya just after the 2007 political and humanitarian crisis, which was sparked by election malpractice and cost 1,300 lives and displaced 600,000 people.
Judge David Higgins said the case bore the marks of "tragedy", and the pair were guilty of a "premeditated, pre-planned, sophisticated and very serious" crime.
"In short, your behaviour was cynical, deplorable and deeply anti-social and suggests, at least in this context, moral turpitude," he said.
The company's international sales manager, Timothy Forrester, 57, was acquitted of three counts of making corrupt payments, while sales agent Abdirahman Omar, 38, was cleared of one count of corruptly agreeing to make payments in relation to a contract in Somaliland.
In a statement following the sentencing, the company said it fully accepted accountability for the actions of its directors and apologised unreservedly.
It said it had co-operated fully with the SFO throughout its investigation.
"During this period we have learned many lessons and as a result have developed industry leading, anti-bribery and corruption management processes."
Smith and Ouzman provided the certificates of authenticity for customers who bought the ceramic poppies from the Tower of London that made up the Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red installation last year.
It is thought the virus killed 200,000 people around the world.
A World Health Organization-led study looked for evidence of the body's immune system fighting the virus.
It showed large numbers of people had been infected, although not all would have developed full-blown flu.
The H1N1 virus first appeared in Mexico in 2009 and rapidly spread around the world.
Why are viruses so hard to beat?
An international group of researchers looked at more than 90,000 blood samples before and during the pandemic in countries including India, Australia and the UK.
They looked for antibodies which are produced when the body is infected with H1N1.
By comparing the figures before and during the pandemic, the researchers can determine how many people were infected as the virus spread around the world.
Approximately 24% of people had been infected overall, but half of school-age children showed signs of infection.
One of the researchers, Dr Maria Van Kerkhove from Imperial College London, said fewer than two in every 10,000 people infected died during the pandemic.
"However, those that did die are much younger than in seasonal flu so the years of life lost will be much more," she told the BBC.
"The figures drive home how incredibly infectious the virus is," she said.
Many older people, who typically die during outbreaks of flu, were protected as they had been exposed to the virus decades before.
Prof John Oxford, a virology expert at Queen Mary, University of London, said the figures "make sense".
"It was the busiest virus on the block and it displaced other influenza viruses - it was the only virus in town."
He said a similar pattern would be expected in other countries which were not analysed in the study.
The man, 45, and woman, 46, both suffered serious leg injuries after the gun attack on Addenbrooke Drive in Speke at around 21:20 GMT on Tuesday.
They are being treated in hospital but their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
The offenders are believed to have forced entry to the house before shooting the pair with a shotgun, police said.
Merseyside Police believe it was a targeted incident and are seeking witnesses and CCTV from the area.
Det Insp Rachel Wilson from the Matrix Serious Organised Crime unit said it was "a brazen attack" and said the force will "act on all information" brought forward.
"We will not tolerate the use of guns on the streets of Speke or anywhere in Merseyside", she said.
Daniel Rooney was 18 when he was shot in St James Crescent in west Belfast in September 1972. He died later in hospital.
His body has been exhumed at Milltown cemetery, as part of an investigation into the Military Reaction Force (MRF).
The circumstances leading to his death are disputed.
The MRF was an Army unit operating in Belfast in the early 1970s.
Det Ch Insp Neil McGuinness, said on Tuesday that Mr Rooney's body had been removed to allow some forensic work to be carried out.
"However at this stage, we can confirm that we have found an object of interest that will be submitted for further forensic tests in due course," he said.
"We are continuing to liaise with the family in relation to this and will keep them informed of any further developments.
"I would once again ask media to treat this sensitively, being mindful of the fact this is a difficult time for the family.
"There are no further details available at this stage."
In 2013, former MRF members told the BBC's Panorama programme that as well as "hunting down" IRA members in Belfast, they shot and killed unarmed civilians.
The investigation into the unit began two years ago, and encompasses 10 shootings.
It has been described as a "very large undertaking".
No post-mortem examination was conducted when Mr Rooney died in 1972.
A team of experts including pathologists and forensic anthropologists has been involved in removing his remains.
Previously, Mr McGuinness said it was the most complicated case he has worked on during his 20-year policing career.
Detectives from the Legacy Investigation Branch have finished the exhumation process at Milltown cemetery.
On Monday, solicitor Paidraig O Muirigh, representing the Rooney family, said there was a chance a bullet would be found in the coffin.
The 2013 Panorama programme was told the MRF consisted of about 40 men handpicked from across the Army.
Before it was disbanded 40 years ago, plain-clothed soldiers carried out round-the-clock patrols of west Belfast in unmarked cars.
One of them described their mission as "to draw out the IRA and to minimise their activities... if they needed shooting, they'd be shot".
Panorama identified 10 unarmed civilians - including Daniel Rooney - who were shot by the MRF, according to witnesses.
And they'll be working both day and night.
Driverless tractors that can follow pre-programmed routes are already being deployed at large farms around the world.
Drones are buzzing over fields assessing crop health and soil conditions. Ground sensors are monitoring the amount of water and nutrients in the soil, triggering irrigation and fertiliser applications.
And in Japan, the world's first entirely automated lettuce farm is due for launch next year.
The future of farming is automated.
The World Bank says we'll need to produce 50% more food by 2050 if the global population continues to rise at its current pace.
But the effects of climate change could see crop yields falling by more than a quarter.
So autonomous tractors, ground-based sensors, flying drones and enclosed hydroponic farms could all help farmers produce more food, more sustainably at lower cost.
No wonder the agricultural robotics sector is growing so fast.
One report, by US firm WinterGreen Research, forecasts that the market will grow from $817m (£655m) in 2013 to $16.3bn (£13bn) by 2020.
But investment bank Goldman Sachs is far more bullish, predicting a $240bn market over the next five years. Manufacturers including John Deere, CNH Industrial and AGCO are all fighting to corner the market in driverless tractors.
As well as big kit, small kit is giving farmers up-to-the-second data on the state of their fields and produce - what Dr Roland Leidenfrost of Deepfield Robotics calls the "internet of plants and fields".
Bosch start-up Deepfield, based in Germany, is working to automate the growing and testing of seed crops, tracking the susceptibility to weeds and drought of different genetic varieties.
Meanwhile, engineers in Shropshire, England, are trying to show it is now possible to farm a field without a human setting foot in it at all.
The Hands Free Hectare project will use flying drones and automated tractors in the coming year to grow and harvest a cereal crop.
Engineers from Harper Adams University - together with a North Yorkshire farming technology company called Precision Decisions - are testing prototype machines now, and aim to plant their crop in March for harvest in September.
It's hard to imagine the most traditional of agricultural sectors - wine making - as needing more than natural sunshine and soil. But even here automation is encroaching.
Wine makers have used drones to inspect their vineyards for several years, with high-definition cameras and sensors assessing crop and soil health.
But in France's Burgundy region, a shortage of farm labour has led inventor Christophe Millot to develop a vine-pruning robot called Wall-Ye.
The latest generation of this trundling four-wheeled robot can make a cut every five seconds. It has six cameras - some with infrared sensors - and two arms, and is controlled by a tablet computer inside.
The machine learns as it goes and can trim the grass around each vine. An onboard solar-powered battery gives 10-12 hours of charge, so with a change of battery, it can work day and night.
Visual recognition is the biggest challenge, says Mr Millot - knowing where to make the cut. This is actually easier at night, because the robot's lights can illuminate the plant, but not its background.
Next year, he plans to go to California - another major wine-producing area - to market his range of winery robots there.
But some people think farming land is old hat.
Japanese firm Spread's automated vegetable factory in Kyoto, due to launch next year, could produce 30,000 lettuces a day, the company says.
It stretches up, instead of across undulating fields, because "in countries like Japan, where land is actually a very scarce resource, it makes more sense to stack your production, just like a skyscraper," says JJ Price, Spread's global marketing manager.
Everything after seeding will be done by machines - watering, trimming, harvesting - on shelves stacked from floor to ceiling. It's a bit like the solitary drone farmers in the 1972 film Silent Running.
Automation has reduced labour costs by 50%, says Mr Price. And LED lighting developed specifically for plant cultivation reduces energy costs by 30%.
"It doesn't matter what the weather or climate is outside," he says.
And growing vegetables in vertical farms means you can recycle 98% of the water, says Mr Price, and produce food much closer to where people consume it, cutting down on transport costs and emissions.
Back outside, drones are monitoring crop growth rates, spotting disease, and even spraying crops with pesticides and herbicides.
Now researchers are also trying to make them co-operate and work in swarms.
If they are mapping weeds in a field, say, "the drones will recruit each other to converge on those areas where the weed presence is higher," says Dr Vito Trianni of the Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Technologies in Rome.
Although GPS signals are generally strong in agricultural areas, one challenge for drones and other farmland robots is coping with patchy internet and mobile connectivity.
So Dr Trianni's team is using ultra-wideband radio for his drones to communicate without relying on rural 3G or 4G mobile connections.
Of course, automation might promise more efficient food production, but it also threatens agricultural jobs.
From 1950 to 2010, according to the International Labour Organization (ILO), agricultural labourers as a percentage of the workforce declined from 81% to 48.2% in developing countries, and from 35% to 4.2% in developed ones.
Robots will surely accelerate this decline.

Sue Mountstevens said police had stepped up patrols on the Downs, which remained "open" to everyone.
Last week a woman was indecently assaulted while jogging near Stoke Road just before midnight.
It follows two sexual assaults on women in March and a third attempted attack in the Blackboy Hill area.
Police have been advising people to be wary and keep to well-lit areas at night.
The three incidents in March could be linked, officers say. No arrests have been made.
The Downs is a large area of protected parkland on the edge of Bristol, popular with dog-walkers, families and others. A march took place on Thursday aimed to "reclaim" the area following the attacks.
Organiser Lisa Benjamin said people loved using the Downs but "are feeling really frustrated that they don't feel safe here at the moment".
Rhiannon Easterbrook, who attended the march, said about 100 people turned out.
"We made our voices heard and are now celebrating and supporting each other," she added.
Two women were attacked on the footpath near Stoke Road during the evenings of 11 and 13 March.
Another woman was grabbed in nearby Durdham Park on 1 March, but managed to break free.
Separately a woman jogging was indecently assaulted on Stoke Road just before midnight on 21 May.
Mrs Mountstevens told BBC Radio Bristol there were extra police patrols on the Downs, including officers on horseback.
"That's to give very visible, reassurance to the public to say 'actually, the police are taking it very seriously' but also to deter any further assaults," she said.
She said the Downs was "an amazingly safe and unique place", adding: "It's open to us regardless of gender; regardless of time. It's there for us to enjoy."
The incident happened just before 07:30 GMT on the westbound carriageway at junction 46 for Llangyfelach.
Police said the accident was between the exit and entry points of the junction.
Traffic was backing up to Ynysforgan at junction 45 but all lanes have now reopened.

If confirmed by the US Senate, Ms Yellen, 67, would replace Ben Bernanke, who has held the post for eight years.
She has been his deputy for the last two years, and would become the first woman to head the Federal Reserve.
Ms Yellen and Mr Bernanke are due to appear with the president on Wednesday.
She has taught at Harvard University and the London School of Economics, as well as holding a series of senior administrative positions in the US.
Ms Yellen, like Mr Bernanke, is seen as a "dove", meaning she prefers to prioritise boosting employment by keeping rates low rather than worrying about inflation.
By Mark MardellNorth America editor
Her nomination has been widely expected since former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers withdrew his candidature last month amid opposition from liberal Democrats.
As Democrats control the 100-seat Senate, Ms Yellen's appointment would only need six Republican votes to overcome potential any procedural hurdles.
Some conservatives are scrutinising her views on monetary policy and her support for previous federal stimulus efforts.
On Wednesday, the second-most powerful Republican in the Senate questioned whether she was the right choice.
"Ms Yellen subscribes to the liberal school of thought that the best way to handle our nation's fiscal challenges is to throw more money at them," John Cornyn of Texas, the party's whip in the Senate, said in a statement.
"This stimulus obsession is the reason the nation finds itself in the fiscal calamity it does today, and the last thing we need is a leader at the helm of the Federal Reserve who is intent on more quantitative easing that harms our economy."
Senator Bob Corker, a leading Republican on the banking committee, said in a statement: "I voted against Vice-Chairman Yellen's original nomination to the Fed in 2010 because of her dovish views on monetary policy."
"We will closely examine her record since that time, but I am not aware of anything that demonstrates her views have changed."
But Democratic Senator Charles Schumer said Ms Yellen would win Senate confirmation "by a wide margin".
By Linda YuehChief business correspondent
The chairman of the US Senate banking committee, Tim Johnson, said she had "a depth of experience that is second to none".
"I have no doubt she will be an excellent Federal Reserve chairman," he added.
The BBC's chief business correspondent, Linda Yueh, says the transition from Mr Bernanke to Ms Yellen is likely to be "seamless" and will not have much impact, because the two already work so closely together.
"I don't think there's going to be a radical change," she said on Radio 4's Today programme, adding that the changeover was unlikely to alter the timing of the Fed's withdrawal of economic stimulus.
Ms Yellen's most recent academic post was at the University of California, Berkeley. A former colleague there, Laura Tyson, professor of business and economics, told the BBC Ms Yellen's nomination was "terrific news".
"We have an outstanding candidate who is a wonderful match of skills and experience and temperament and reputation around the world at a time when monetary policy is extremely important," she said.
"Continuity is important and Janet is an outstanding candidate."
A former member of the board of governors of the Federal Reserve, Prof Randy Kroszner, told the BBC that Ms Yellen was "battle tested" and would be driven by the data in deciding when to reduce support to the markets.
Over the last few years, American Football has had to face up to the fact that repeated head collisions, which are a major feature of the sport, can have serious long-term health consequences.
But for a long time, it wasn't a popular message.
Concussion tells the story of how a young Nigerian forensic pathologist Dr Bennet Omalu discovered a progressive brain disease, which he called chronic traumatic encephalopathy or CTE, in the brain of a former National Football League player.
It looked like Alzheimer's disease, but it was present in the brain of 50-year-old Mike Webster, a professional sportsman who had died prematurely.
Fourteen years on and 150 cases of CTE have been identified, most of them in NFL players, who have experienced depression, memory loss, behavioural changes and sometimes dementia at an unusually early age.
Like retired boxers, who were once said to be "punch drunk", the common factor was multiple concussions or blows to the head over many years.
In a recent interview with the BBC, Will Smith said he had learnt a huge amount from making the film, particularly as a parent of a son who played American football.
"We watch it, we see the hits, you see players go down... and then you applaud when they come back on again five minutes later.
"Once I had the science explained to me, it becomes so obvious that you can't imagine how you didn't see it before."
Dr Julian Bailes, co-director of the NorthShore Neurological Institute in Illinois, is portrayed by Alex Baldwin in the film. His research helped uncover CTE and he says helmets in American football are part of the problem.
"The brain floats inside the skull and although helmets are thought to be a protection against brain trauma - they're not. In fact, helmets have probably increased the risk because players go at it harder."
In the UK, concerns over CTE have thrown the spotlight on rugby - a sport which sees its fair share of player concussions.
As the Six Nations tournament kicks off, new guidelines are offering players more protection and there is undoubtedly more awareness of the dangers of repeated head injuries and the symptoms of concussion, which does not always lead to a loss of consciousness.
However, neuroscientists admit there is still a lot of work to do to find out the scale of the problem, primarily because it is so difficult to diagnose CTE in the living.
A new research project which will track the head injuries of around 50 players at Saracens Rugby Club by looking for biomarkers in their blood, urine and saliva is an important step towards this goal. Players are being asked to wear a bio-patch device which measures the effects of a head impact.
John Hardy, professor of neuroscience at University College London, is working with the club to analyse the findings: "We need to follow players of contact sports to collect this systemic data. We need to find out why a repetitive injury in your 30s can lead to brain disease in your 50s."
His colleague Huw Morris, professor of clinical neuroscience at UCL, says scientists will then be able to look for the chemical changes that happen when a brain injury occurs.
"Anything happening in the brain is reflected in the blood after an impact, and the level of proteins reflects the damage to nerve cells.
"So, in theory, we can quantify the damage that has taken place."
The ultimate aim, they say, is to have a medical test which can be used during a game to identify when a serious head injury has taken place and when a player is fit to resume playing again.
They emphasise that the risk of CTE is low for people who have experienced a single episode of concussion. It is the dangers of repeated concussion injuries - which may or may not be picked up - that are of most concern.
But neuroscientists are not out to ban all contact sports - far from it, says Prof Hardy.
"We want people to enjoy sports as safely as we can advise them."
If a film about concussion can raise awareness of the symptoms of concussion and the dangers of letting it happen again and again, then Hollywood will have done a great service to brains and contact sports.
Concussion is released in UK cinemas on Friday 12 February.
The incident happened on Parnell Street, at its junction with Hill Street, shortly after midnight.
Gardaí (Irish police) believe that the man was struck by a green or blue Audi saloon car which left the scene in the direction of Summerhill.
Witnesses also allege that a number of men got out from this car and assaulted the man.
The man was taken by ambulance to the Mater Hospital.
In recent years, former chief executive Antony Jenkins and before him Bob Diamond had described Africa as an important growth market for the bank.
Admitting it was a difficult decision, Jes Staley explained it was a decision taken to de-risk the bank. Owning a majority share meant Barclays had to hold a lot more capital as a buffer against mishap with, what regulators consider, a risky asset.
Barclays Africa employs 45,000 people, a third of Barclays' global workforce, so it is not an easy thing to sell and the list of potential buyers is not a long one.
At the top of that list is... you guessed it, ex-Barclays chief executive Bob Diamond.
Mr Diamond left Barclays under the cloud of the Libor rate-rigging scandal having lost the confidence of the governor of the Bank of England.
Once described as the unacceptable face of banking by Peter Mandelson, Bob Diamond went on to create an African banking venture called Atlas Mara with ambitions to create a sub-Saharan banking business.
As chairman he has appointed another ex-Barclays man, John Vitalo, as chief executive. Before joining Barclays, Mr Vitalo ran Absa Capital, the investment-banking arm of the South African lender Barclays bought control of in 2005.
I am told that although Atlas Mara may currently lack the firepower to buy the whole business, it would be interested in acquiring some of Barclays' African business.
There is no guarantee this curious circle will be completed - other interested parties could include Gulf and Chinese interests - but Bob Diamond and John Vitalo know this business inside out and Barclays certainly have their numbers.
The Asda at Queen's Drive Retail Park, Kilmarnock, was surrounded by water after the River Irvine burst its banks.
Fire crews were dispatched from Glasgow and Ayrshire after staff alerted the emergency services at 06:12.
A rigid inflatable boat was used to take 40 adults and two children from the store. They were checked by paramedics but no-one was injured.
A spokesman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said the incident ended shortly before 10:00.
Four appliances - two from Polmadie in Glasgow, one from Kilmarnock and one from Newmilns - were sent to the scene.
This week, Maud Kells, 77, is planning to travel to the place where the last 48 years of her life have been spent working as a nurse and missionary.
It was work which put her in danger at times.
Last February she was shot and critically injured.
Recounting her shocking experience she said:
"After midnight, my guard and I were coming back to the house. Suddenly two bandits came around.
One of them pointed a gun at me. Of course I froze at first but then when I thawed out I thought, 'He's not getting the better of me!' and I went to grab the gun. That's when he pulled the trigger."
The bullet hit her in the shoulder and she said she narrowly missed death or paralysis.
Now Maud says it is time to say goodbye to the country she has worked so tirelessly in.
"I feel, at my age, that it's maybe time to give up. I'm just not as healthy as I was," she told the BBC's Evening Extra programme.
"I feel it's God's time to say goodbye. It could go on for ever and ever but you've got to draw a line somewhere," she added.
Maud has spilt her time between her home in Cookstown and the mission field in Mulita, to the north east of DRC with WEC International mission agency.
When she first arrived in 1968, Ms Kells learned Swahili and turned builder, working with local people and using brick making equipment left over by the Belgians to create a hospital in the Congo.
Between them, they built a maternity unit, an operating theatre, a surgical ward and a primary school.
"When I went to work in Mulita, the church leaders approached me. They told me a lot of women were dying in childbirth and they would like me to train midwives. Whenever I realised they only had a mud hut as a maternity unit I realised it was very impractical to deliver babies in," she recalled.
"I had no idea I would end up involved in a building project. I'd thought I was just going out to preach the gospel and help deliver babies, " she said.
Work on a pre-school nursery is currently being carried out.
Maud said it has not always been easy but has found ways around the difficulties.
"It's amazing how you can adapt. I've brought in solar panels over the years and solar panel equipment and because we're in a rainforest we can collect rain water."
When she returns, she will be spending her first Christmas in Cookstown in 20 years.
"Out there, there's no Christmas cards, no tinsel, no decorations. So it will be as different as day and night," she said.
"I'll miss the place and the people - they're almost like my family now, having known them down through the years and their children and grand-children," she added.
He is expected to discuss the regional offensive against Boko Haram militants with Nigeria's northern neighbour.
Niger, Chad and Cameroon have been helping Nigeria recapture territory from the insurgents, who Mr Buhari has described as "mindless" and "godless".
At his inauguration, Mr Buahri vowed that he would tackle "head on" the six-year Islamist insurgency.
Africa news updates
He met his security chiefs for the first time since his swearing in on Tuesday.
The president has said the military command centre will be relocated to the north-eastern city of Maiduguri and remain there until the group is completely subdued.
After a day in Niger, Mr Buhari will head to Chad, whose leader has been critical of Nigeria's approach to tackling Boko Haram.
Last month, President Idris Deby said the fight had been hampered by poor co-ordination between the Chadian and Nigerian armies.
Chad, Cameroon and Niger have mainly been working on their sides of the border with Nigeria to stop any attacks by Boko Haram.
But earlier this year, forces from Chad and Niger crossed into north-eastern Nigeria to help recapture towns when the militants began threatening neighbouring states.
Despite a state of emergency in three north-eastern Nigerian states, Boko Haram managed to take over many towns and villages last year.
Correspondents say Mr Buhari's discussions in Niger and Chad are likely focus on a regional force to confront the group.
An African Union plan to set up an 8,000-strong multi-national regional force to fight the insurgents has not yet been implemented.
About 1.5 million people have been displaced and hundreds more abducted since the group launched their violent uprising to impose Islamic rule in 2009.
More than 15,500 people have been killed in the fighting.
The group is still holding many women, girls and children captive, including 219 schools girls it kidnapped from a school in Chibok in April last year.
Despite losing territory and retreating to the Sambisa forest, the militants are still active - most recently in Maiduguri which has come under attack over several days.
On Tuesday, a new video was released by the group which it said was filmed in Sambisa, a vast forest surrounding a game reserve.
However, Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau failed to appear in it, fuelling speculation about his fate.
Bale, 24, has completed an £85.3m move from Tottenham to Real Madrid.
MOTD presenter and former Spurs striker Lineker had a stint at Barcelona during his playing career.
"It's very important to throw your heart and soul into it. It's different, it's huge, and it's whether he can cope with that," Lineker told BBC Sport.
"He's got it all. He showed that last season and the only question now is whether he's got the mental strength to be able to cope with such a big move and the spotlight that will be immense over there in Spain.
Tottenham's defeat at Arsenal was a timely reminder of what they will miss now Gareth Bale has finally completed his protracted move to Real Madrid.
They will miss those match-winning moments and brushstrokes of genius that decorated his recent seasons at White Hart Lane.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, however, was understandably confident in his statements following the completion of the deal that takes Bale to the Bernabeu.
Manager Andre Villas-Boas, with Levy and director of football Franco Baldini pulling the levers, has refurbished his squad with a succession of fine signings such as Roberto Soldado, Erik Lamela and Paulinho.
The big question is can they replace Bale? And only time will provide the answer after the loss of this magnificent player.
"Ability-wise he is phenomenal. A player costing that much money, it's hard to justify that sort of fee. It's an incredible amount of money and no player is worth that, beyond perhaps [Lionel] Messi and [Cristiano] Ronaldo.
"If they came on the market now they would be worth more than Bale but along with Neymar they're the two players that are coming up as world superstars."
Lineker, who played for Barca between 1986-1989, feels that learning the language and immersing himself in the culture will be key to Bale's chances of succeeding in La Liga.
The former England captain thinks that the experiences of previous foreign moves for British players makes speaking Spanish a necessity for the Wales winger.
Lineker added: "It's important, more than anything, learn the language. If you're happy and communicate off the pitch that will reflect in your football and how things go on the pitch.
"If you look back at all of the British players that have been successful abroad, it's the ones that have got themselves into the culture, learnt the language and made life there enjoyable, rather than harbouring thoughts about England and getting back home.
"It's a fabulous opportunity for him and the important thing is he really needs to grasp it with both hands."
With Christmas round the corner, I am in a mood for giving - and I am focused on the needy in Africa.
No, not the sick who are sleeping on the floor in public hospitals, or sharing beds and hoping to get better one day.
I want to give Christmas presents to those who need them the most - our African leaders.
They work so hard to drive this continent somewhere, anywhere. Yet hardly anyone thinks of them and sends them any presents.
I cannot afford to reward them all so I have put together a small package of gifts to send to five leaders:
Charity begins at home so I'll start with my own president.
Uhuru, when you open your parcel you'll find one kilogramme of roast goat meat.
I know you love "nyama choma" as we call it in Kenya, so you will definitely enjoy this succulent dish.
Apologies for the packaging - the meat will arrive wrapped in today's copy of a local daily newspaper.
In your regular attacks on the media, you've often said that newspapers are only good for wrapping meat.
In other words the media that keeps Kenyans informed and holds those in power to account is worthless.
In the nearly three years your government has been in power, there has been a raft of bills and regulations to tame the media.
The result has been a shrinking of the space for free expression and exchange of ideas.
Enjoy your meat, Uhuru.
Greetings Magufuli.
I know you're less than two months in power in Tanzania, but there is a gift for you.
In the parcel you'll find a copy of the Holy Bible.
In the short time you have been in power, you have shaken Tanzania to its core as you went in search of those public officials who have abused their office and stolen from the people.
But as you get closer to the untouchables - the drug dealers and corruption masterminds - you will be treading on very slippery ground.
The Tanzania security machinery and the love of the people may not be enough to shield you.
I have heard you constantly ask Tanzanians to pray for you, so this gift of the Bible will be useful.
Mr Nkurunziza - I see things are getting tough for you in Burundi.
There has been so much loss of life since you went against everyone's plea for you to abandon plans for a third term of office.
I know you love football very much.
So your Christmas gift is a football, which you can use to launch a new team - Burundi United FC.
It's an advanced ball that is filled with blood, instead of air.
If you kick it too hard it will bleed or burst.
So handle your team with great care and listen to them.
Go easy with the political ball, so as to spare the nation more bloodshed.
Hello President Mugabe! In your Christmas parcel is a generous helping of Chinese tea.
I chose this because they claim it cures everything from bad nerves to bad luck.
I've noticed that your legs sometimes don't listen to your will power.
When you need them most, they fall asleep and you topple over.
This special tea will stabilise your long walk in power, even when your feet suggest the journey is over.
Finally, a gift for you Mr Museveni.
I see that power will be running after you again in February when you'll be seeking a fifth term in office.
Normally people chase power, but in every Ugandan election power faithfully comes in search of you.
So for you it is a special manual called "How to cope with cattle".
I know how you value your beautiful cows. They tend to be obedient, they don't argue much. They don't defect to another herder.
They don't make unrealistic demands about their democratic right to reject their owner.
So the manual in your Christmas parcel will be a great companion for those days when you eventually persuade Ugandans to find another leader and leave you alone to herd your peace loving cattle.
Thank you, your Excellencies - I do hope you enjoy your presents.
A friend indeed is a friend in need. Happy Christmas!

The fire damage left patches that where once thick with old trees, reduced to burnt landscapes.
But these three dogs are helping to replant it all.
Since March the Border Collies have been scampering around the burned forest with special satchels that spread seeds as they run to sow seedlings, grass and flowers.
It sounds pawsome... and Jenny's been finding out all about it.
Richard Kray, 63, from Canterbury Road, Herne Bay, is accused of killing Olivia Kray, 19.
Mr Kray will appear at Medway Magistrates' Court on Monday via virtual link.
Police and paramedics were called to the Westlands Caravan Park, in Canterbury Road, at about 14:00 BST on 21 July.
A Kent Police spokesman said officers were called "following a report of a serious assault" and Ms Kray was pronounced dead at the scene.
Mr Kray has also been charged with the attempted murder of another woman following an incident at an address in Herne Bay on 21 July.
A woman was assaulted, although she did not require hospital treatment, the force said.
Seven goals during the qualifying campaign saw Lafferty, 28, take his tally to 16 goals in 49 international matches, 20 behind Healy's record.
"Kyle's in the process of hopefully denting my goalscoring record. Records are there to be broken," said Healy.
"He might beat it, he might not beat it, but I certainly wish him well."
After helping to fire his country to a first major tournament since 1986, Lafferty will shoulder a high burden of expectation, despite being used sparingly at club level by Norwich City and eventually going out on loan to Birmingham City.
"Kyle's got all the talent in the world - he's an international talent and I know because I played with him for Northern Ireland and spent 13 months in Glasgow with him at Rangers," said Healy.
"He will relish it going into the Euros, he's fit and free from injury and can be the marksman.
"I was fortunate enough to play for Northern Ireland but I grew up in Belfast supporting Northern Ireland so I want people to achieve good things for my country."
Now a manager at Irish Premiership club Linfield, Healy appreciates the job Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill has done in not only delivering success, but helping to change the mindset of a country whose players tended to go through the motions in previous qualifying campaigns.
He added: "He's given players confidence, a belief that every time they play they're not just turning up.
"I played many times when I certainly felt, and maybe other players felt, we were all just fulfilling a fixture.
"Nowadays they turn up, are well prepared and very professional. Over the campaign before, Michael took a little bit of stick but he was putting in what he wanted, what the players needed to achieve."
Northern Ireland face Belarus on Friday night before another friendly against Slovakia on 4 June.
Michael O'Neill side open their Euro 2016 campaign against Poland in Nice on 12 June before taking on Ukraine and Germany in further Group C games on 16 and 21 June.
Bailey, 16, was fatally injured during an incident at Cults Academy in Aberdeen on 28 October.
The private funeral service was held in Maryculter, where Bailey lived.
A 16-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been remanded in custody after being charged with murder and having a blade or point on school premises.
The mourners included Bailey's family and fellow pupils.
The Dutch smashed 19 sixes as they scored 193 off just 13.5 overs to progress ahead of the Irish and Zimbabwe on a superior run rate.
Ireland, who would have qualified by winning Friday's game, made 189-4.
Stephan Myburgh smashed the second fastest 50 in Twenty20s to launch the Netherlands towards a stunning victory.
Full tournament tables
Myburgh struck 63 off 23 balls, hitting four boundaries, before Wasely Barresi, who was 40 not out off 22 balls, lofted a final six over deep mid-wicket to seal the win inside the required run-rate.
The Netherlands will now be in Group One with Sri Lanka, England, South Africa and New Zealand.
Earlier, Zimbabwe had beaten the United Arab Emirates by five wickets.
That kept their hopes alive but ultimately they were denied by a remarkable batting display by the Netherlands.
For Ireland, it was a massive setback after winning the qualifying tournament and coming out on top in their two games against Zimbabwe and the UAE.
After Ireland's innings, the Dutch knew they had to chase down the sizeable target of 190 to qualify.
They went for broke, blasting more than 15 runs per over in an exhilarating match.

Twice, Myburgh hit three successive sixes. He and captain Peter Borren, a sedate 31 off 25, opened the chase with 91 after six overs.
Myburgh brought up his 50 off 17 balls to emulate Ireland's Paul Stirling against Afghanistan in 2012.
India's Yuvraj Singh holds the record with a 12 ball-50 against England in the inaugural World Twenty20 in 2007.
Tom Cooper picked up after Myburgh departed by whacking four straight sixes before he was out for 45 off 15 balls.
Barresi, 40 not out off 22 balls, finished off the Irish with dot-6-dot-4 and a final six over deep mid-wicket to seal the deal in unbelievable fashion.
For Ireland, Andrew Poynter hit 57, skipper William Porterfield 47, and Kevin O'Brien was not out on 42.
Brukner said Hughes, 25, died as a result of a vertebral artery dissection, which caused a "massive bleed" on the brain.
"Vertebral artery dissection is incredibly rare," Brukner told media at St Vincent's hospital in Sydney.
"There is only one previous example caused by a cricket ball."
Hughes was struck on the top of the neck by a short-pitched delivery on Tuesday while playing in a domestic match and died in St Vincent's hospital on Thursday having never regained consciousness.
Hughes had been wearing a helmet but the ball struck him at the base of the skull, causing the injury.
"Phillip took the blow at the side of the neck and as a result of that blow his vertebral artery, one of the main arteries leading to the brain, was compressed by the ball," Brukner said.
"That caused the artery to split and for bleeding to go up into the brain, and he had a massive bleed into his brain.

"This was a freakish accident because it was an injury to the neck that caused haemorrhage in the brain.
"If you look in the literature there are only 100 cases reported."
Such injuries are frequently fatal at the time, but Hughes was resuscitated on the field and taken to hospital in a "reasonable condition", Brukner added.
Hughes had a 90-minute operation to relieve pressure on his brain but he failed to regain consciousness.
"The head injury he suffered was catastrophic," Tony Grabs, director of trauma at St Vincent's, said.
"He went to theatre and had extensive surgery to remove some of the skull around his brain to help allow the brain to expand so it wasn't compressed.
"Over a period of the first 24-48 hours, as we know, he did not make very much improvement and unfortunately as a consequence of the injury he died."
Cockbill finished with a total of 251.8 in the R4 mixed 10m air rifle event in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates on Saturday.
The 26-year-old two-time Paralympian was beaten by Atef Aldousari of Kuwait, who finished on 253.0.
Aldousari became the first Kuwaiti shooter to compete at a Paralympics in Rio last year.
It follows a silver medal for Cockbill's compatriot Lorraine Lambert in the R8 women's 50m rifle three positions event on Thursday.
It said low inflation was adding to the benefits of higher employment and the positive effects of lower oil prices.
Item Club chief economic adviser Peter Spencer said the financial markets seem prepared for further Greek problems.
But potential headwinds were a weak government and EU referendum, he said.
The forecast growth is slightly down on the 2.9% expansion that the Item Club previously predicted, due to official fourth-quarter GDP figures coming in weaker than expected.
The Item Club forecasts growth in 2016 of 3%, up from 2.9% estimated previously.
Inflation has fallen to zero in recent months and, along with improvements in employment, is boosting consumer confidence, the Item Club's spring forecast said.
The report said an added bonus was coming from recovery in the eurozone, helped by the European Central Bank's €1.1 trillion (£790bn) asset purchase stimulus programme.
The euro bloc's recovery should offset a hit to overseas trade from the strength of the pound, the Item Club said.
Mr Spencer said: "The economy is taking the general election in its stride as 'noflation' trumps politics. The eurozone recovery is bedding in and completes the positive UK growth picture that we anticipate for 2015 and 2016.
"This is a mirror image of what we saw in 2010-12, when unemployment and inflation were high and Europe was in the doldrums.
"If the strength of the headwinds that held back the economy during the first years of the coalition is anything to go by, the tailwinds enjoyed by a new administration post 7 May should be strong enough to outweigh the effects of any political uncertainty."
The report expects the eurozone recovery to boost trade - with UK exports predicted to rise by 5.9% this year and 4.9% in 2016. But Mr Spencer added: "However, it's not all plain sailing and possible risks around a weak government and an EU referendum remain.
"In Europe, the Greek tragedy has yet to reach a denouement, although European banks and investors seem prepared for a disorderly outcome.
"But worries about Ukraine and Russia have eased and we are confident that the UK economy would not falter from any of these shocks," he said.
Rooney's representatives have spoken to Chinese Super League club Tianjin Quanjian but talks did not progress.
However, the 31-year-old England captain's departure in the summer is looking increasingly likely.
"He's not in the team, but he shouldn't write off his United career," ex-Reds defender Neville told BBC Radio 5 live.
"I don't see Wayne Rooney playing football in China, I really don't.
"He's a home bird. I think he likes living in the north-west, and I can't see him taking his young family out to live in China. Yes, it's for vast amounts of money, but I just don't see it at all."
United's record goalscorer, who joined the Old Trafford club in 2004, has scored five goals in 29 appearances for the Reds this season, providing 10 assists.
He has started only three games since 17 December and was left out of the squad for Wednesday's Europa League match at Saint-Etienne because he has just returned to training after a hamstring strain.
United beat the French club 1-0 to seal a 4-0 aggregate win and book their place in the last 16. They next play Southampton in the EFL Cup final at Wembley on Sunday.
"I'm not going to give Rooney advice, but what I would say to him is: 'Stick it out at Manchester United,'" said Neville, who won 10 major trophies with United between 1995 and 2005.
"At the moment, he's not in the team and has got a slight knock but Henrikh Mkhitaryan has gone off injured tonight.
"You never know, he could come on in the final on Sunday and make a massive impact, score, and then finish the season so well, you've seen it so many times."
Earlier this week Mourinho refused to give any guarantees about whether Rooney would still be at the club after the Chinese transfer window closes on 28 February.
But the BBC's Simon Stone said the expectation is that Rooney will stay for the rest of the season.
Jaidee finished day three two clear of McIlroy and carded a final round of 68 to finish on 11 under.
McIlroy could only card a level-par 71 in his last round.
"The way I've felt out there and to finish third on my own, it's been a decent week in that regard," he told Sky Sports.
"I've got 10 days until the Open starts. I'm going to be working every day to try and get better and will play a bit of links golf to work on the shots I need for Troon as well."

This will be McIlroy's first Open since winning the Claret Jug in 2014 after a foot injury ruled him out of defending his title at St Andrews last year.

The Scottish full-back was dismissed in the 22nd minute for a late shoulder charge on Wales fly-half Dan Biggar, with the hosts leading 10-3 at that point.
Referee Jerome Garces initially showed Hogg a yellow card, but changed it to a straight red after watching a replay on the stadium big screen.
Wales exploited the extra man with tries by George North (2), Jamie Roberts (2), Taulupe Faletau, Liam Williams and Rhodri Williams.
Greig Laidlaw's fourth minute penalty briefly gave Scotland the lead, while Biggar kicked two penalties and four conversions, with James Hook adding a fifth.
It completed a disastrous Six Nations for the Scots, whose previous heaviest defeat in the tournament was their 38-3 defeat by France in 2003, with a narrow win in Rome their only reward for a disappointing campaign.
And new coach Vern Cotter, who will take over before their tour to North America in the summer, will be under no illusion about the size of the task he faces.
Wales' victory margin of 48 points exceeded their previous record winning margin, which came in the 47-8 win against Italy in 2008, by 11 points.
It also doubled their previous best over the Scots, in the 46-22 win during their 2005 Grand Slam season.
But there will be no Grand Slam or third consecutive title for the Welsh this season, and the fact they played against 14 men for an hour will cast some doubt over the significance of this performance, coming after their poor display in the 29-18 loss against England.
It was, however, a fitting tribute to Wales loose-head Gethin Jenkins, who became his country's most-capped player on his 105th appearance.
Scotland were trailing 10-3 when Hogg - chasing his own high kick - caught Biggar on the jaw with a shoulder charge.
Referee Garces quickly handed the British and Irish Lion a yellow card, but called the player back on to the pitch and showed him a straight red after watching replays of the incident on the stadium screens.

Hogg did not complain as he became the third Scotsman to be sent off in internationals - following in the footsteps of Scott Murray and Nathan Hines - and the Scottish challenge ended with his departure.
Until that point Scotland had been competitive, although the Welsh pack had shown ominous signs of recapturing the power game which made them Six Nations champions in 2012 and 2013, particularly in the build-up to Liam Williams' opening try.
After Hogg's dismissal, Wales changed their emphasis - attacking out wide to exploit the extra man and the power of their three-quarter line and full-back Williams, making an impressive appearance in the absence of the injured Leigh Halfpenny.
Tries by North, after a superb break by Williams, and Roberts before half-time underlined the size of Scotland's task.
And when Faletau touched down for the sixth try in the 53rd minute it was a question of damage limitation, which the battling Scots achieved until substitute scrum-half Rhodri Williams crossed for his team's seventh in the 75th minute.
The cheers that greeted James Hook's conversion were an amusing post-script, but the serious lesson was that you cannot take on an international side with only 14 players.
And with cameras covering every angle, match officials are increasingly willing to use replays to amend their decisions.
For Scotland in Cardiff, there was nowhere to hide.

South Africa notified the UN of its intention to leave last October, saying the ICC pursued "regime change".
The court ruled in favour of the opposition Democratic Alliance (DA), which argued that the government had to first seek parliamentary approval.
The court ordered the government to revoke its notice of withdrawal.
In his response, Justice Minister Michael Masutha said the government still intended to quit the ICC, Reuters news agency reports.
The government would consider its options, including a possible appeal, after studying the full judgement, he is quoted as saying.
The decision to pull out came after a dispute over Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir's visit to the country in 2015.
South African authorities refused to arrest Mr Bashir despite him facing an ICC arrest warrant over alleged war crimes.
Mr Bashir was attending an African Union summit in Johannesburg, when the government ignored an ICC request to arrest him.
The DA welcomed the judgement.
"South Africa does not want to be lumped together with pariah states who have no respect for human rights and who do not subscribe to accountability for those guilty of the most heinous human rights violations," the party said in a statement.
"Instead, we should recommit our country to the human rights-based foreign policy spearheaded by the late President Nelson Mandela," the statement added.
The High Court's decision marks a pause, rather than a full stop, for the South African government and its plan to withdraw from the International Criminal Court.
The government may choose to appeal the judgment, or it may simply do as the judges ordered and take the proposal to parliament where the governing African National Congress (ANC) continues to enjoy a comfortable majority.
But today's emphatic judgment against the government is, nonetheless, another uncomfortable defeat for President Jacob Zuma's team, which has now lost three times in a row in legal challenges related to the ICC.
Some ANC officials have frequently criticized the judiciary for "interfering" in what they argue are political matters, and attacked opposition parties and NGOs for using the courts to thwart their popular mandate.
Although there are signs that many African governments are beginning to lose faith in an ICC that they believe is targeting their continent unfairly and disproportionately, there is no clear consensus on the issue - let alone any signs of significant public concern.
The court ruling in South Africa is a reminder that the slow, exhaustive process of signing up to the Rome Statute, which set up the ICC, cannot simply be reversed at the stroke of a pen.
South Africa, Burundi and Namibia are among African states that have said they will withdraw from the ICC. They accuse the court of bias against Africans.
The Gambia, which had also announced its withdrawal, has now said that it will remain in the ICC.

Voters in Cornwall will be able to use the new design, alongside the more traditional wooden type.
Cornwall county council has bought 700 of the recyclable booths, similar to those used in Australia and the US, costing £15 each.
The council's deputy elections manager Dave Cunningham said they looked "funky".
Voters will choose new members of the European Parliament this week, with councils looking after voting and counts.
Mr Cunningham said: "We have been looking at ways to make elections more affordable, eco-friendly and manageable for our staff. One of the areas we have been investigating is the provision of polling booths.
"Both the USA and Australia use cardboard booths and we wanted to see if this would work in Cornwall. As well as being much cheaper to produce, using cardboard booths would also dramatically reduce the costs of storage, transport, cleaning, repairs and replacing existing conventional timber booths at end of their life."
Wooden booths cost about six times the price of cardboard ones, at £92.
Cornwall Council was unable to find a suitable cardboard booth supplier in the UK and it was deemed too expensive to import them from the US. So it hired architects from Exeter to create a design.
Mr Cunningham said: "We wanted something a bit different, looked funky, was lightweight, fitted into the back of a car (so the presiding officer could take it with them), was simple to put together, and was strong, robust and appropriate for both able and disabled voters."
The result is a curved, four-person booth which is low enough for staff to see over and around. Each booth also has a low desk suitable for disabled voters.
The council will decide after the trial whether to use cardboard booths in future elections.
England restricted the hosts to 97-9, Heather Knight, Danielle Hazell and Laura Marsh taking two wickets each.
Knight then made 26 and Lydia Greenway 25 as England reached their target with eight balls to spare in Lincoln.
Edwards, who scored five, said: "There was a lot of hype, but in our dressing room it was all about the series win."
ECB managing director Paul Downton was among those in attendance and prior to the match made a presentation to the 35-year-old who says she wants to play on to the 2017 World Cup.
"There were a few tears walking out but it was great to have people here to mark the occasion," she told BBC Sport.
Edwards, who made her England debut in 1996 at the age of 16 and took over as captain in 2005, became the first England player - man or woman - to captain in 200 internationals.
The Kent batter has presided over three Ashes series wins as well as the World Cup and World T20 successes of 2009.
In 2014 she became only the second woman to be named one of Wisden's Cricketers of the Year.
Winning the toss and inviting the hosts to bat at the Bert Sutcliffe Oval, Edwards saw her spinners stifle New Zealand.
After home captain Suzie Bates was held on the leg-side boundary in the third over, it began a procession in which only two Kiwis passed double figures.
Indeed, if it had not been Sophie Devine's 31-ball 37, including a straight six off Jenny Gunn, the contest would have been even more one-sided.
Although opener Edwards was bowled trying to cut Lea Tahuhu early on, Knight and Sarah Taylor ensured the England chase began with good momentum.
They fell in quick succession, leaving Greenway and Natalie Sciver to push the tourists to the brink of victory.
A succession a dot balls prolonged the match, but Katherine Brunt's six sealed Edwards's 129th victory as captain.
"I'm really proud of the way of the way we played and to win in a convincing manner was really pleasing," Edwards said.
On Thursday (21:30 GMT on Wednesday), the sides will resume the one-day series which preceded the T20s, with New Zealand leading 2-1 and two games remaining.
But an emergency Facebook appeal by a County Down vet for doggie blood donors is helping to change all that.
It was issued after Creggy, a 12-year old springer spaniel, from Ballyhalbert, suddenly became unwell.
Owner David Reaney said he first noticed Creggy's breathing becoming heavy, but initially blamed the dog's age and the hot weather.
"I went to the vets where they diagnosed him with an enlarged spleen and said it needed to come out," he said.
"They knew that when they took it out he would lose a lot of blood, so they needed to find a donor."
The vet usually uses his own dog for blood donations, but as the animal had given blood recently he could not donate again so quickly.
Vets can also get blood reserves from a national charity, Pet Blood Bank UK, that operates in Leicestershire, but has a blood-sharing scheme across the UK.
As delivery takes longer to Northern Ireland, a practice in Belfast can supply to other vets - but this service was not available at the time.
In desperate need of an alternative donor, a social media appeal was issued in an attempt to get Creggy his urgent transfusion.
One of those who replied was Lora Fawcett, whose seven-year-old Labrador, Tucker, came to Creggy's rescue.
"They gave him a little bit of light sedation. But he was fine and comfortable because they all know him there," she said.
"The vet nurse gave him two big meals and took him for a walk.
"When he got home he had a wee nap and had dinner like normal. It hasn't affected him in any way."
Bangor vet Stephen McLean said there had been an "overwhelming" response to their appeal, with dozens of owners offering to come forward.
He said he was "pleased to see so many dog lovers who were committed to help".
Tucker, along with many of the pets of people who contacted the surgery on social media, is now on a list of emergency donors in case a similar situation arises again.
Only dogs of a certain weight and in a particular age range are suitable for blood donation.
They can only give blood every few months and must not be on any medication. They are carefully weighed and tested to make sure only the right amount is taken from them.
Dogs have different blood types like people, but they can receive an initial, unmatched blood sample in an emergency situation.
Pet Blood Bank UK do not offer donor sessions in Northern Ireland at the moment, but most local vets have to use blood transfusions several times a year.
Usually it is dogs with blood conditions such as anaemia that require the service, but the process can also be life-saving in trauma situations, as seen with Creggy.
As for him... well his owner is simply delighted with the outcome.
"I'm astounded so many people offered to help. I am so grateful to them for saving Creggy's life" he said.
The spaniel had his emergency surgery and after a spell of rest is now getting back to normal - pestering his owner for walks.
Gareth Southgate is in temporary charge for the next two games following the departure of Sam Allardyce.
The first of these is Friday's World Cup qualifier against Scotland.
"We are ready to fight for him [Southgate] in the matches. Hopefully he will do well enough to get the job on a permanent basis," said Lallana.
"It would be nice for Gareth and for us quite soon to know whether he's going to get the job," added the 28-year-old.
"You can build towards having a certain identity that your manager wants you to have.
"That's what a manager is there for. I'm sure over the next few days the manager will be telling us what he wants for the Scotland and Spain games [the latter is a friendly at Wembley next Tuesday]."
England have struggled at recent tournaments; failing to get out of their group at the 2014 World Cup and then suffering an embarrassing last-16 exit at the hands of Iceland at this year's European Championships.
"For quite a few years now we've not done brilliantly at major tournaments so it's up to us to maybe find an identity," said Lallana.
"Whether it's the mental side of the game at tournaments that we're struggling to cope with, we need to overcome that. Through good, hard work I think we can do that.
"You need stability. What you don't have at England is the time that you get at club level.

"You can't prepare for a campaign as you would for a league over the course of the season. It's not possible so it's a different challenge."
England head into Friday's game against Scotland top of Group F with an unbeaten record, having won two games and drawn one.
The teenager, on loan from Norwich, curled a 90th-minute free-kick into the top corner from 25 yards.
"It's a sensational last-minute winner, a real bit of quality from young James," McInnes told BBC Scotland.
"We should be shouting from the rooftops with how good that is. It's different class."
Jonny Hayes shot the Dons in front right at the start of the second half but the Dons winger later conceded a penalty, converted by Rangers captained Andy Halliday.
Match-winner Maddison was introduced as a half-time substitute following a below par 45 minutes from the hosts.
"First half, I was really annoyed with how we played," said McInnes. "We were nowhere near like ourselves; we didn't commit to our passing, our tackling or our pressing. We stood off them and Rangers were enjoying the game too much.
"Second half, we put Jonny Hayes through the middle to give them something to think about and we score right away.
"Getting the goal gives the players that belief and confidence to go and get the win.
"They [Rangers] get a lifeline with the penalty kick, Jonny should do better with his positioning.
"We knew it would take a moment of quality to win it and for a young boy to produce that in the dying seconds with so much at stake tells you everything about him."
Aberdeen move up to second in the Premiership and McInnes, who has finished runners-up to Celtic in the past two seasons, thinks the victory can spur his team on.
"We deserved the three points," he added. "We scored two good goals and the game is about scoring goals.
"I can understand why Rangers might think they deserved something with all of their possession. But they never really cut us open and we were far more aggressive in the second half.
"We'll enjoy the day because for long spells it didn't look like we were going to get the win - but it's only three points.
"We recognise the strength of our opponents and I wouldn't be getting too distraught if we hadn't got the win.
"I know there are wins ahead of us and beating a team like Rangers can only help.
"We're here to try and do something at Aberdeen and hopefully the players sense that and we can go and be successful this season."
The married airman in his late 20s was out running in Marham on 20 July when he was ambushed by two men.
The airman, who has not been identified, said he was near RAF Marham when he was grabbed by a man who tried to drag him towards a nearby car.
He fought back, knocking one to the floor, before the pair fled.
RAF Marham is home to some of the Tornado bombers that have recently taken part in air strikes against the so-called Islamic State.
Norfolk Police will be appealing for information on the BBC's Crimewatch programme on Monday night.
"This whole event has turned my world upside down," he said. "The outcome could have been a lot more severe but it's the 'what ifs', you know, not being able to see my wife again, not being able to see my family again.
"And I knew what I had to do to get away. I was fighting for my life. I won't let this stop me from doing things I need to do, but it does affect you emotionally," he said.
Police said the first suspect was aged between 20 and 30, about 6ft, athletic but stocky, with dark hair that was long on top and a well-groomed beard. He had a dark skin tone and wore casual clothing.
The second suspect was described as between 20 and 30 but younger than the first suspect and slimmer.
He was about 5ft 10ins, clean shaven with short dark hair and wore a white T-shirt and dark shorts.
Detective Superintendent Paul Durham will be speaking to Jeremy Vine on Crimewatch live from RAF Marham on Monday at 21:00 BST on BBC One.
The Leicester centre, 24, has not played for England since June 2014 because of a groin injury and disciplinary issues.
He replaces Alex Goode in the 23-man squad and is likely to start on the bench, while Northampton prop Kieran Brookes has also been included.
Head coach Eddie Jones will name his starting XV on Thursday.
Exeter hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie replaces Jamie George, who suffered an arm injury in training last Thursday.
Brookes has been named in place of club team-mate Paul Hill for the game between the two unbeaten countries in this season's competition.
Tuilagi has scored 11 tries in 25 England appearances, but his international career has been disrupted by injury and disciplinary problems.
He was left out of the World Cup squad last year after admitting assaulting police officers in April 2015, an offence which he denied in September.
Named in England's original 33-man training squad to face Wales, he was released to play for Leicester last weekend.
Tuilagi scored his first Premiership try for almost two years as Leicester beat Exeter 31-27.
England flanker James Haskell said: "He is a threat and a very special player. I don't often look at people and think 'I wish I had some of his genes'. He is pace, power and strength personified.
"He will have an impact, he always does. I've played with him against some of the best teams in the world and he causes everybody trouble.
"Even if he has a bad day, someone will still get taken down or he'll run through someone. Very few players have the ability to do that.
"He was obviously sorely missed at the World Cup. Whenever he is not involved in the game he is missed."
England are one point clear of Wales at the top of the Six Nations table after winning their first three games.
England 23-man squad to play Wales:
Forwards: Kieran Brookes (Northampton Saints), Dan Cole (Leicester Tigers), Luke Cowan-Dickie (Exeter Chiefs), Jack Clifford (Harlequins), Dylan Hartley (Northampton Saints), James Haskell (Wasps), Maro Itoje (Saracens), George Kruis (Saracens), Joe Launchbury (Wasps), Joe Marler (Harlequins), Chris Robshaw (Harlequins), Billy Vunipola (Saracens), Mako Vunipola (Saracens).

The rapper's management has been posting on her accounts since she announced she was taking a break.
In her last Instagram post, she wrote about paparazzi photographers invading her privacy by taking photos of her outside her home in a bikini.
"[It's] so nice not to be on social media so I'm kind of going to continue that until, maybe forever," she said in an interview with the AP news agency.
"I think it's disgusting. I don't think it's nice to stick your camera through somebody's fence and hedge and take a picture of them in their yard and think that's OK at all."
Over the past year Azalea's also been involved in several Twitter spats with the likes of Eminem, Azealia Banks, Nicki Minaj and Snoop Dogg.
Her Great Escape tour was moved from April to September because of "production delays" and she says she's using the extra time to record new music for the follow-up to her debut The New Classic.
Azalea said she didn't want to wait until later in the year to launch the tour but had to because arenas were booked up.
"The whole point was to make no compromises, but nothing's changed in terms of my creative vision," she said.
"It's very kind of like Patrick Nagel, powerful 80s androgynous women vibe.
"I didn't anticipate having any time to completely finish it, but now that I have kind of the time, I'd love to have an album at the end of 2015."
Azalea, 24, said her first single would be her collaboration with Britney Spears, Pretty Girls.
"I love Britney. She's super-sweet and I just want to hang out with her all the time," she said.
"I saw her at Toys R Us randomly. She lives right down the street from me. Since I've met her now we keep bumping into each other in the street.
"I don't know if I needed re-inspiring, but it's just made me extra-excited to want to put out new music."
2014's The New Classic was nominated for best rap album at this year's Grammy Awards with Fancy and Black Widow getting to number five and four respectively on the Official Singles Chart.
"My first album got pushed back so many times and it was probably like two years of recording on and off, but it was a real struggle and I think that was something that really reflected in my album a lot.
"I talk about trying to make it, trying to breakthrough.
"So my second album, now I don't have this problem.
"So I hope it's a little bit more up-tempo and just really fun. I just want to have something so summer and so girly, so loud and obnoxious and braggadocios."

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) said it had particular concerns over outpatient records and surgical practices at the Eastbourne District General Hospital (EDGH)
CQC inspectors reported that safety and leadership was also inadequate.
The East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust said it was developing an action plan to tackle issues raised during September's inspection.
Lib Dem MP for Eastbourne Stephen Lloyd said the inadequate rating opened the possibility the trust may be taken into special measures.
Inspectors said caring was "largely good", however a staff survey in 2013 had found low staff morale and high levels of sickness, they reported.
They said: "We saw challenges with staffing in some areas. We saw poor management of medicines in a number of areas and practices that our clinical experts deemed unsafe."
The CQC found many clinics were running without patient records and were using temporary sets of notes, while health records were "in a poor state of repair".
Inspectors praised clinical leadership in the intensive therapy unit (ITU) and infection control procedures, highlighting low levels of MRSA and C. difficile.
But, the watchdog said, the hospital must ensure the management of medicines is done in accordance with national guidelines.
"Inappropriate staff behaviour toward patients, relatives and staff" should also be identified and addressed, it said.
Trust chief executive Darren Grayson said: "We are incredibly disappointed to receive the inadequate rating from the CQC, although we welcome the feedback from their inspection.
"Improvements have already been made since they inspected last September.
"The reports reflect the journey we are on as an organisation and the immense changes we have made over recent years."
Mr Lloyd said: "Eastbourne deserves a properly-led, fully-functioning DGH. This CQC report has emphatically shown that we have neither at this time."
Peter Schaufuss, the production's director and choreographer, said Polunin failed to turn up for rehearsals on Wednesday.
The show, based on Billy Hayes's 1977 Turkish prison story, is due to open at London's Coliseum on Tuesday.
Polunin made headlines last year when he unexpectedly quit the Royal Ballet.
A statement on Thursday put Polunin's departure down to "unforeseen circumstances". Johan Christensen from the Peter Schaufuss Ballet, who was rehearsing with Polunin, will take over the title role of Billy Hayes.
Schaufuss told the BBC he was "hugely disappointed" after Polunin, 23, missed rehearsals on Wednesday.
"I saw him on Tuesday evening and he said he really wanted to dance. Since then we haven't seen him and nobody from our team has had any response from him.
"We believe he is still in London - he hasn't checked out of his hotel, but he isn't in his room. I'm really worried about him."
He added: "Artists have good and bad days - that goes with the territory - but rehearsals were going well. I think the role of Billy Hayes was perfect for him. We were at the stage where he was starting to make the role his own."
'Quite confident'
Polunin, who at 19 became the Royal Ballet's youngest male principal, shocked the dance world in January 2012 by unexpectedly quitting a week before he was due to appear as the lead in a production of The Dream.
He later told the BBC that he was no fan of rehearsing, saying that it was only when performing that he enjoyed dancing.
Now based in Russia, Polunin returned to the Royal Ballet in February as a guest dancer to rave reviews in Frederick Ashton's Marguerite and Armand.
Schaufuss said that Polunin had been "quite confident" when he began rehearsals for Midnight Express last month.
The ballet show is a new take on the story of Billy Hayes' six year incarceration in a Turkish prison after being caught smuggling hashish.
The 1978 film version was directed by Alan Parker, with a screenplay by Oliver Stone, and starred Brad Davis and John Hurt.
Hayes himself arrived in London this week to supervise the production.
Schaufuss said the rest of the company was in "good spirits" despite the cast upheaval.
"They are excited that Billy Hayes is here and I'm confident that the company is going to give some great shows," he said.
"I've worked for these performances for the last eight months - 24/7 - so to see it having to change in the last minute is devastating. Now we are under tremendous pressure. But sometimes it is exciting to be against the odds."
Lancashire opener Hameed, 20, and Northants batsman Duckett, 22, both made their Test debuts this winter.
Kent's Sam Northeast will skipper the MCC side against the county champions, who beat Yorkshire to win the title.
The four-day Champion County match in Abu Dhabi starts on 26 March and will be a day/night game with a pink ball.
A T20 tournament featuring MCC, Middlesex and two other first-class counties, will also take place on Friday, 24 March.
Hameed played the first three Test matches in India, before leaving the tour with a broken hand.
Duckett made his Test debut against Bangladesh in October, but was dropped following the second India Test after making 110 runs in seven innings.
Worcestershire batsman Joe Clarke, who scored 1,206 runs in the County Championship last summer, is included along with his county's wicketkeeper Ben Cox.
Last season's fixture saw the MCC beat 2015 county champions Yorkshire by four wickets.
MCC head of cricket John Stephenson said: "Having worked closely with the England selectors to assemble this group, I am very pleased with the fantastic talent we have at our disposal.
"Haseeb Hameed, Joe Clarke and Ben Duckett are three of the most exciting young batsmen in the country at the moment, and I'm looking forward to seeing them."

The annual rate of house price growth was 4.7% in May, down from 4.9% in April and 5.7% in March.
In May alone, house prices rose by 0.2%, the same as the previous month.
The Nationwide said one factor was that many people had rushed to buy houses in March because of stamp duty changes that took effect on 1 April.
Further evidence of the drop off in activity following the peak in March came in UK mortgage figures from the Bank of England.
There were 66,250 home loans approved for house purchases in April, an 11-month low and down on the average of 71,075 over the previous six months, the figures showed.
The volatility generated by the stamp duty changes - which added a surcharge for buy-to-let investors and the owners of second homes - made it difficult to gauge the underlying strength of activity in the housing market, said Nationwide chief economist Robert Gardner.
"House purchase activity is likely to fall in the months ahead, given the number of purchasers that brought forward transactions," he added.
"The recovery thereafter may also be fairly gradual, especially in the [buy-to-let] sector, where other policy changes, such as the reduction in tax relief for landlords from 2017, are likely to exert an ongoing drag.
"Nevertheless, healthy labour market conditions and low borrowing costs are expected to underpin a steady increase in housing market activity once stamp duty-related volatility has passed, providing the economic recovery remains on track."
The Nationwide said that the cost of the average home in the UK had risen to £204,368. Such a sum is creating difficulty for many potential first-time buyers to get on the housing ladder despite the relatively low cost of mortgages.
"Affordability is a massive issue in many areas of the country, particularly the capital, but it is being counterbalanced to an extent by continued low borrowing costs," said Mark Posniak, managing director at Dragonfly Property Finance.
"What is hard to deny is that the result of the EU referendum could have a material impact on house prices in the short to medium term.
"What happens in June could determine the fate of the market for several years to come."
There have been claims and counterclaims by the two sides in the referendum debate over how house prices have been and would be affected in relation to the UK's position in Europe.
After climbing initially, the Dow Jones then went into reverse and was 23.93 points lower at 18,114.45.
The wider S&P 500 index dipped 2.70 points to 2,130.28 while the Nasdaq fell 7.66 points to 5,206.50.
Shares in toymaker Hasbro rose 7% after its latest results beat forecasts thanks to strong demand for Disney Princess, Frozen and Trolls dolls.
Profits for the third quarter of the year climbed to $257.8m from $207.6m a year earlier, with revenues 14.2% higher at $1.68bn.
Third quarter profits also rose at Bank of America, although shares in the bank were little changed in early trade.
Profits rose 6.6% to $4.45bn with revenues up 3% to a better-than-expected $21.64bn.
Like its rivals JP Morgan and Citigroup the bank benefitted from a recovery in bond trading, which was partly triggered by the UK's Brexit vote. Profits have also been boosted by cost cutting across all units of the bank.
Harry Aspley died in hospital six days after becoming unwell at his home in Stoney Stanton, Leicestershire, in March, 2013.
Police said he had suffered a "non-accidental" head injury "consistent with being shaken".
Wendy Hardy was jailed for six-and-a-half years on Tuesday after admitting manslaughter and fraud.
Birmingham Crown Court heard Hardy, 46, had wrongfully claimed £27,460 for fostering two children from November 2012 to September 2013 who were not actually in her care at the time.
Her former partner David Hardy, 36, of Hinckley Road, Stoney Stanton, was handed a 21-month suspended sentence for his part in the fraudulent claim.
Det Supt Neil Castle, of Leicestershire Police, said that when the toddler suffered his injuries he was being looked after "solely by Wendy Hardy", of Greedon Rise, Sileby, Leicestershire.
"This was a difficult and lengthy inquiry which followed the tragic death of a young child who had been entrusted in the care of foster parents," he said.
Updates on this story and more from Leicestershire
"While the full events of what happened that day have not been disclosed by Wendy, I hope that her guilty plea and subsequent sentencing will bring some closure for Harry's wider family network and all those involved in the case."
A Warwickshire County Council spokesperson said: "We are deeply saddened by the death of this little boy and have worked closely with Leicestershire Police to support this prosecution.
"Warwickshire Safeguarding Children Board is carrying out a Serious Case Review into the child's death ... (so we) are unable to comment further on the details at this stage."
The council said it was involved in the case because Hardy was originally a Warwickshire foster carer who was living in Leicestershire.
Charges of child cruelty against the pair - which involved neglect between December 2012 and March 2013 - will "lie on file", a police spokesman said.
A woman, 33, from Milton Keynes, and a man, 26, from London, were arrested at Heathrow Airport on suspicion of conspiracy to commit child cruelty.
The Met Police said the girl had been travelling with them at the time.
The arrests were made by officers raising awareness of FGM, forced marriage and honour based abuse.
Officers said, as part of the operation, they had spoken to passengers who had travelled to the UK on various flights including from Abuja, Sierra Leone and Lagos.
It is illegal to participate in arranging FGM in or outside the UK and those involved can face a prison term of 14 years.
There has only ever been one, unsuccessful, prosecution in the UK, with three more cases set to be reviewed by lawyers.
The Met said it had dealt with an increasing number of cases, rising from 29 reports in 2012 to 196 in the year to March 2016.
The Shanghai Composite closed down 5.8% to 3,686.92, losing 12% for the week.
Mainland shares have seen several days of erratic trade this week, despite further moves by the Chinese securities regulator to calm the market.
On Thursday, the regulator said it would look into whether parties were mis-selling financial products.
Any criminal cases will be transferred to the police, the regulator said.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite has slumped about 25% since mid-June, its worst collapse in years.
In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng index closed 0.8% lower at 26,064.11 points.
Shares elsewhere in Asia were down for most of Friday after a mixed jobs report from the US, which was described by analysts as "solid but far from great".
Employment in the US rose by 223,000 in June, while the April and May figures were revised down.
The data has dampened expectations for a US Federal Reserve rate hike in September.
In Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 share index closed flat, down just 0.08% at 20,539.79.
In Australia, however, the S&P/ASX 200 index closed down 1.1% at 5,538.30.
In Sydney, shares in Australia's national carrier, Qantas Airways, ended the day down 2.14% after the firm said it would pay a one-off bonus payment of about 90m Australian dollars ($68m; £43m) to employees affected by an 18-month wage freeze.
The payout will cover 28,000 employees, including those at subsidiary Jetstar, and is part of the workers' collective agreement, Qantas said on Friday.
The move comes after it reported its best half-year profit in four years.
While in South Korea, the benchmark Kospi index closed down 0.14% at 2,104.41.
The latest news on the Greek debt crisis was likely to temper investor sentiment on Friday, analysts said, after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said Greece would need an extra €50bn ($55bn) over the next three years to stabilise its finances under the existing, disputed bailout plans.
The IMF also cut its forecast for Greek economic growth from 2.5% to zero.
Singapore-based business adviser Simon Littlewood from ACG Global told the BBC that investor sentiment was more likely to have fallen on concerns over Greece "and the uncertainty over a so-called 'Grexit'", rather than the US jobs data.
"There is a distinct concern over contagion in Europe," he said.
"The US job growth numbers are not spectacular enough to offset larger concerns in Europe and China."
A roadside bomb went off as the police-guarded convoy drove through a village in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province near the Afghan border.
The attack is the latest in a series targeting polio teams in the country.
No group has claimed responsibility, but the Taliban oppose the polio schemes, which they see as a cover for international espionage.
Initial reports said the convoy was struck by two separate bombs on Saturday.
The blasts were reportedly followed by a fierce gun battle between security forces and the militants.
Officials confirmed that people wounded in the attack were taken to a nearby hospital. Some of those injured are said to be in a critical condition.
Pakistan has witnessed a campaign of violence against health workers, who militants also accuse of being part of a Western plot to sterilise Muslims.
More than 40 people linked to the vaccination programme have been killed in Pakistan since December 2012.
Last month, unidentified gunmen shot dead three polio workers in the southern city of Karachi, a day after authorities began a new nationwide vaccination drive.
Pakistan is one of only three countries where polio remains endemic, along with Nigeria and Afghanistan.
According to the World Health Organization, Pakistan recorded 91 cases of polio last year, up from 58 in 2012.
Once-capped Walker, 23, was denied both his Wales debut in 2013 and an initial World Cup place this year by injury.
"What's working for me in particular is yoga," Walker told BBC Wales Sport.
"I know it sounds quite strange, but yoga's helping me a lot in just stretching and strengthening in general."
Another Wales number 11 - Manchester United football great Ryan Giggs - credited yoga with prolonging his playing career in the Premier League, with the former national captain not retiring until he was 40.
Walker was first picked to play for Wales against South Africa in November 2013, but was forced to withdraw because of a hamstring strain, with a recurrence in February 2014 sideling him for the rest of the season.
He eventually made his Wales debut in August 2015, in a World Cup warm-up match against Ireland.
Walker was called into the World Cup squad as a replacement for Leigh Halfpenny in September, only to get injured again in training.
The wing was subsequently recalled to the squad to be in contention for a potential semi-final match, only for Wales to exit the tournament before he regained full fitness.
"There were a lot of ups and downs," said Walker.
"But as I mature I've just got to take the onus on myself and look after my body better, just doing stuff that's right for me."
Walker says both Wales and the Ospreys have looked after him by reducing his training on days when the team does double sessions.
"Both camps have modified certain aspects of training, maybe not doing complete sessions, but as things go on my strength's coming on pretty decently," he said.
"It's just about picking and choosing the aspects I need to see off, and doing rehab by myself."
Walker is set to feature in the Ospreys' Champions Cup trip to the Stade Marcel-Michelin to face Clermont on Sunday, whose wings include ex-England player David Strettle and Fiji-born France international Noa Nakaitaci.
Derek Main stabbed Andrew Main, 57, in the neck before telling a 999 operator that his father had "gone awol" and started hitting himself.
Main, 37, was originally charged with murder but prosecutors accepted his plea of culpable homicide on the basis of diminished responsibility.
He was returned to the State Hospital at Carstairs.
Psychiatrists agreed that his behaviour was substantially impaired because of "abnormality of mind" at the time of the killing.
Main admitted assaulting his father by repeatedly punching, kicking and striking him on the head and body and killing him with a pair of scissors on 7 July, 2014 at Corrie Avenue, Stenhousemuir.
The court heard that prior to the killing, Main had been at his father's home where he was drinking.
Mr Main Sr returned home after a night out in Falkirk town centre.
He later contacted a taxi firm to take him to The Valley, where his son lived.
Eight minutes later a further call was made by the son asking for a taxi or an ambulance to attend.
Advocate depute Angela Gray said: "During that eight-minute window, between the two calls to the taxi company, we can deduce that the fatal attack on the deceased took place."
After the taxi arrived, the driver saw Main had blood on his hands and clothing and told him to get out of the vehicle.
Main then phoned the emergency services asking for an ambulance and told the operator: "My dad's gone awol, he said he didn't want to live so he started hitting himself.
"I think he's dying, can you hurry up, he's dying."
Police arrived at the address and found Mr Main Sr lying on the living room floor, heavily bloodstained, with a stab wound to the neck.
The court heard that after the fatal attack Main was considered to be fit to plead but following further psychiatric assessment it was decided he was not fit for trial last year.
He was sent to the State Hospital at Carstairs and was found to be suffering from psychotic symptoms, including hallucinations and delusions.
Main was returned to Carstairs until his next court appearance.
Bold or underwhelming celebrity appearances, out-there fashion, and the spectre of bad weather are perennial talking points outside the two-mile gallop.
This year did not disappoint.
Australia's richest woman, Gina Rinehart, sent photographers into a spin when she arrived at Flemington Racecourse dressed entirely in white.
A wild scrum produced a stream of images, with photographers seemingly undeterred about how far away they were from the magnate, who recently made headlines for upping her bid for Australia's largest private landholding.
She quickly moved to spend her day inside the exclusive Birdcage zone, prompting some to muse that she and fellow billionaire Anthony Pratt were "probably the last people requiring a free lunch".
But her exit from the marquee was less glamorous than her entrance.
In a moment captured by some quick-fingered photographers despite the best efforts of her security detail, she tripped down the stairs.
The jostle to get the crucial shot is de rigeur come Melbourne Cup time, and of course, everyone wanted a slice of the famed three-pronged, 18-carat gold prize.
Early on, it seemed the weather gods were smiling on Flemington...
Then, true to Melbourne's highly changeable weather, the first sign of gloom appeared.
Rain finally arrived to spoil the party just as the race finished.
The most important day of the year did not go well for one betting company, with its site going down for at least 90 minutes.
Betfair tweeted it had a "technical glitch preventing bet placement", prompting mockery online.
"Betfair exchange has gone down on Melbourne Cup day. LOLZ," one user tweeted. "Terrible terrible terrible," wrote another.
Television and musical star Rob Mills found a unique way to celebrate, turning up in perhaps the day's most eye-popping wear.
Mills donned a blue blazer covered in Melbourne Cup pins to raise money for the Starlight Foundation,
Of course, no Melbourne Cup would be complete without the customary snaps of race-goers entertaining themselves after a few too many glasses of champagne.
Nine people were arrested and 78 punters evicted from the racecourse this year. A 75-year-old woman was also reportedly fined after being caught drink-driving the wrong way through a roundabout in Hastings, after attending a cup function.
Chief Constable Paul Crowther says while violent incidents have dropped, there has been a rise in "casual, thuggish behaviour" by some fans.
Friday's conference will hear testimony from the public and rail staff.
There have been 630 football-related incidents reported to police during this season, which began in August.
These include violence, criminal damage and abusive behaviour.
Of this season's reported incidents, 162 were racially or religiously aggravated.
But British Transport Police say incidents are often under-reported because witnesses do not always come forward.
This weekend will see large numbers of fans on the move for the FA Cup semi-finals, being held at London's Wembley stadium.
Mr Crowther, who is hosting the summit, said people had been shocked by images from Paris earlier this year when Chelsea fans were seen pushing a black French man off a Metro train.
Scotland Yard is seeking a football banning order for five men accused of racist chanting before Chelsea's Champions League game in the city in February.
"What shocks me is that people are surprised this is going on, because frankly this kind of casual, thuggish behaviour is sadly taking place more or less on a weekly basis across our transport system," said Mr Crowther.
"There's a risk that, as a society, it's become something we almost tolerate. So how do we turn that around, what can we do to stop it and how can we bring all the people together that can help us to do that?"
Mr Crowther said organised, gang-related football violence is declining but anti-social behaviour - such as swearing and racial chanting - is on the rise.
"I ask myself, why am I deploying nearly 400 officers per day, over the next two days, for the FA Cup semi-finals simply to get people to and from a sporting event?" he added.
He also urged people to contact police if they witness any kind of criminal incident on the transport system.
Mick Fanning was competing in Jeffreys Bay, on the eastern Cape, when one of the sharks approached his surfboard.
The final of the J-Bay Open had only just started when Fanning was knocked off his surfboard and into the sea.
Fanning, the defending champion, escaped injury. The tournament was called off soon afterwards.
"I was just sitting there and I felt something just get stuck in my leg rope, and I was kicking trying to get it away," Fanning told Fox Sports.
"I just saw fins. I was waiting for the teeth."
Fanning, a three-time world champion, said he was able to "get a punch into its back" and startle it.

The event was being broadcast live on television. Footage later cut to Fanning and co-competitor Julian Wilson, also of Australia, on a rescue boat reliving the incident.
The relieved-looking pair then received loud applause from a crowd on the beach.
"I was swimming in and I had this thought what if it comes for another go at me? So I turned around, so I could at least see it, and before I knew it the boat was there, the jet-skis were there, the jet-skis were there. I just can't believe it," he told journalists who were at the competition.
Fanning's mother said she was terrified when she saw the live footage.
Speaking from her home on Australia's Gold Coast, Liz Osborne told the Australian Broadcasting Corp it was "the worst thing I've ever seen happen to any of my family because it was just there in front of me".
Her son Sean was killed in the car accident in 1998 but the family were not with him at the time.
"I saw this just in front of me. It was just terrible," Ms Osborne said. "I was so scared. I just thought when that wave came through that he'd gone," she said.
The World Surf League (WSL), which organises the competition, said Fanning was approached by two sharks, and that he and Wilson were both rescued from the water by jet-skis.
A video of the incident can be seen on the WSL's website here and the aftermath of the attack can be viewed here.
Reuters says the waters are some of the most shark-infested in the world, and that a surfer was killed by a Great White shark close to Jeffreys Bay in 2013.
The gap, he proclaimed, between his fluctuating side and their rivals along the M8, then-defending Pro12 champions, was no more.
Edinburgh were far from brilliant, but with back-to-back 1872 Cup victories seized in fractious dogfights, Solomons reckoned his power-laden pragmatists had gobbled up ground on their inter-city foes.
That was back in early January, with Edinburgh sitting pretty in fourth place, in fine shape to make good on their top-six target, or better.
But four months on, it was Solomons' side whose season petered out with a maddening collapse at home to Cardiff Blues, consigning them to ninth place, while the Warriors saw play-off combat for a fifth successive season.
For the capital club, this was a familiar role in the dynamic of Scottish rugby.
Solomons cannot fairly be judged on his first season, 2013-14, at the helm of a ship taking on water by the gallon. His late arrival in August due to commitments in Super Rugby, the ramshackle crew he inherited, and the upheaval he oversaw render that unforgiving campaign almost a complete write-off.
But Edinburgh's established Harlem Globetrotters approach to attacking, and general disregard for anything resembling a co-ordinated defence, were no longer tolerated.
The South African sacrificed style for stability - and that seemed sensible given the circumstances that confronted him. It is under these auspices that raw talents such as back-rows Jamie Ritchie and Magnus Bradbury and full-back Blair Kinghorn have followed Ben Toolis and Sam Hidalgo-Clyne in emerging from the ranks.
But while the last two seasons have brought an increase in their Pro12 points tally - from 38 in 2013-14, to 48 the following year, to 54 last season - the rugby has remained dogmatic and unimaginative.
Solomons' belligerent Edinburgh had the league's third-best defence last season for points conceded; joint-second for tries conceded.
Their pack - littered with front-five Test operators and bludgeoning ball-carriers - is as mean as any in the Pro12.
But it is the failure to build on this excellent platform that has dragged them down. They scored 41 tries last season; seven of the eight teams above them - bar the Scarlets - managed more than 50.
"At the start, we were playing an up-front style where it was round-the-corner rugby, forwards carrying hard, and it gets kind of predictable," recalls Tim Visser, the Scotland wing at Edinburgh for the first two years of Solomons' reign, now at Harlequins.
"At one point, the opposition knew [back-row] Dave Denton was coming every second phase after set-piece ball, and they were waiting for him and trying to smash him.
"You need to be a little more diverse nowadays. Some of the best teams in the world struggle to play that way - everyone's big, everyone can tackle, and you can't offer the same thing every time.
"I think one of the problems Edinburgh has maybe had is they become a little bit one-dimensional. Suddenly they are expected to play [expansive] rugby, or they need to, but they don't know how to because they never practise it in training.
"That was certainly the case when I was there. You can grind out games and it can win you games - we went over to Munster in the start of my last season and put them away at Thomond Park, which we hadn't done for years - but on the other hand, most teams can handle that sort of stuff now.
"You need that bit of flair to do something special and win a game. That wasn't always there at Edinburgh because it wasn't something we practised."
To counter his poor report card, and his team's wild oscillations in form and results, the 66-year-old ex-lawyer Solomons has a well-practised spiel of mitigating circumstances.
He has been deprived of big players - Nasi Manu, a Super Rugby-winner, Cornell du Preez, the box-office back-row, and Grant Gilchrist, a former Scotland captain, for vast swathes of his tenure. Others, like Denton - two months into last season - have moved south, with Matt Scott following suit this summer, and not necessarily by Solomons' hand.
But Glasgow did without Mark Bennett and Alex Dunbar for a significant chunk of their Pro12-winning season. And even when their superstars are absent, there's a coherence and fluency at Scotstoun that Edinburgh seldom muster.
The fear is that Edinburgh under Solomons are stagnating and shackled. Too wooden, too rigid. The South African has had three years to develop his squad. In the same three years, Pat Lam took Connacht, Ireland's ugly duckling, from eighth place to the Pro12 title.
"Of course you've got to keep your international players, and it's a shame to see people like that going," reflects Visser. "I myself didn't really want to go.
"It's always hard if you can't keep hold of your core players. Denton and Scott are two very key players they've let go. Are you going to find anything as good? Probably not.
"But it's a business, a job, and you've got to take some of the better offers on the table. You can't blame the SRU for losing players on the other end of things.
"But Glasgow are proving you can have a competitive squad with a similar budget. You've got to be clever with your signings. They've signed one or two gems that can make a real difference. That is all part of it."
Some players have expressed frustration at Edinburgh's present living arrangement - a somewhat awkward house-share with Scottish Rugby, where their bedfellows are also their bosses.
And when the Scotland squad descend en masse to use the facilities, Edinburgh cram into the changing rooms at Murrayfield Wanderers, where the showers don't always run hot.
A move in January to Myreside, with its more modest confines, should help forge a clearer club identity, and finally rid Edinburgh of the ignominy of playing before 4,000 fans in a 67,000-capacity stadium.
The glaring caveat is that it's tricky to build such a brand without the thrills to match.
Last year, and the year before that, Edinburgh's goal was a top-half berth, and a seat at Europe's top table.
Now their ambitions are loftier - despite the failures. "Minimum top-four", declares Fraser McKenzie, the lock. "We can make the top two, even top of the table", argues Rory Sutherland, the prop.
If it sounds like clinical propaganda, there is a genuine lament here. If Edinburgh have the players, why don't they have the gumption or guile to mount a realistic tilt at the play-offs?
Maybe this will be the season when talk of evolution brings tangible reward.
Solomons is likely to move on at the end of it, while cherished out-of-contract assets like WP Nel and John Hardie, two of the first and most pivotal names on Vern Cotter's Scotland teamsheet, may follow him out of Murrayfield.
And if this is to be another stale campaign of hollow promises, Solomons' reign will be remembered only for excuses.

The waterfalls usually tumble dramatically in to the sea off Ardmeanach, a stretch of land which sticks out into the sea on the south-west of the island.
The combination of gale force winds and heavy rain, caused by Storm Henry, forced the waterfalls back up into the air.
The strange event, which happened on Monday, was filmed by a local who put the video on online.
In 2012, Carol Hawkins was found guilty of 181 counts of theft from his bank accounts. The judge said she had used the money to fund a "lavish lifestyle"
The expensive items she bought included 22 racehorses and a New York apartment.
The Irish Court of Criminal Appeal has upheld the conviction. It has still to rule on the severity of her jail term.
The former PA was sentenced to seven years in prison after her 2012 trial, but later appealed both her conviction and the length of the jail term imposed.
Originally from north London, Hawkins later moved to Rathmines, Dublin, and took up a position of trust in the multi-millionaire musician's home.
Her original trial was told that she embezzled the money from two of Mr Clayton's bank accounts over a four-year period, from 2004 to 2008.
The 51-year-old, who carried out housekeeping duties for the U2 star, spent the cash on shopping sprees and on her children's education.
At the Court of Criminal Appeal in Dublin, her lawyers had argued that her conviction was unsafe on several grounds.
These included alleged inadequacies in the disclosure process of her trial, admission of prejudicial evidence and the refusal to exclude witnesses from court during cross-examination.
Her barrister told the court that the privacy afforded to Mr Clayton during the 2012 trial had "effectively hamstrung" Ms Hawkins' defence.
However, the three judges who heard her case dismissed all grounds of the appeal.
They will rule on her appeal against the seven-year jail term within the next few days
Hawkins was not present in court for the ruling.
Ms Knightley may have had a change of heart - she recently told US chat show host Ellen de Generes that she had looked online for advice about planning her wedding - but for many so-called "digital deniers", the opportunity to block out technology is often welcomed.
"Technology is becoming more personal," security expert Graham Cluley told the BBC.
"We're going to see more and more devices that are carried on your person or worn - I am expecting there to be something of a backlash. Some people will love those things, others will find it very upsetting."
For those who consider themselves to be in the latter group, technology - ironically - may provide the solution.
The National Institute of Informatics in Japan has developed prototype glasses that inhibit facial-recognition cameras.
Described by some as the antidote to Google Glass, these specs contain 11 LED lights along the eyebrows and nose.
"The LEDs are installed around these locations because a feature of face detection is the eyes and part of the nose appear dark, while the other part of the nose appears bright," Prof Isao Echizen told news website diginfo.tv.
"So by placing light sources near the dark parts of the face, we've succeeded in cancelling face detection characteristics, making face detection fail."
Prof Echizen is also developing visors that contain reflective material or absorb light to inhibit cameras that do not rely on infra-red.
Emil DeToffol, an engineering graduate and former dentist in New York, founded the retail website lessEMF.com in 1996 after growing concerned about unproven health fears surrounding the electromagnetic radiation commonly emitted by everyday electronics.
The NHS says on its website that, so far, "a number of studies, both in the UK and internationally, have not identified any health risks associated with [telecommunications] devices" but adds that "it may be too early to detect possible long-term risks or problems that may be associated with them".
But Mr DeToffol's company specialises in selling a variety of products - ranging from baseball caps to bedding - containing silver, copper, stainless steel or carbon fibres that reflect radiation.
"In the 1990s the issues were power lines, electric blankets, CRT [cathode-ray tube] display screens - there was no wi-fi. Cellphones were just getting started," Mr DeToffol told the BBC.
"Now, as our world becomes more electrified... people are getting sicker."
While he does not suffer himself, Mr DeToffol said he had heard from customers around the world, complaining of a variety of symptoms ranging from headaches and irritability to tinnitus and cardiac issues.
He did concede that radiation might not always be the cause.
"At this point it is not the majority of the population, but it is a certain percentage that's made quite ill by this," he said.
The company's best-sellers were its baseball cap and balaclava, followed by "hoodie" tops that covered both head and torso, added Mr DeToffol.
"The issue comes down to what part of the body does the person need to shield?" he said.
"Most popular tends to be shielding for the head - particularly for when people are sleeping."
Named after 19th Century British scientist Michael Faraday, a Faraday cage is a metal construction that traps electromagnetic waves.
This means devices such as mobile phones or anything containing a radio-frequency identification (RFID) chip - including passports, travel cards and credit cards - are unable to receive or transmit data from inside one.
Wired magazine published an online guide for making a hand-sized Faraday Cage out of duct tape and aluminium foil for those concerned about the possibility of the covert retrieval of information from cards and gadgets via discreet scanners.
One unnamed man who defected from North Korea attempted his own interpretation of a Faraday cage during his time in the tightly controlled regime - where mobile phone use is strictly monitored by the authorities.
"In order to make sure the mobile phone frequencies are not being tracked, I would fill up a washbasin with water and put the lid of a rice cooker over my head while I made a phone call," he is quoted as saying in a research paper called A Quiet Opening.
"I don't know if it worked or not, but I was never caught."
In 2009 researchers at the University of Tokyo developed a kind of paint that can block wireless signals.
The paint contains an aluminium oxide that resonates at the same frequency as wi-fi, blocking the path of data both in and out of an indoor environment where the paint is present.
The idea of radio frequency blocking paint was not new even then - but this was the first of its kind to absorb frequencies of 100 gigahertz, the researchers said.
"The very existence of 'anti-technology' means that people are worried and we should take that seriously," said technologist Suw Charman-Anderson.
"We need to have to a public discussion about what we find acceptable and what we don't.
"Anybody who thinks they are not being tracked may be a little naïve - if you buy your groceries with a credit card or use a loyalty card then you are being tracked," she added.
"But the level of vigilance that would be needed to completely hide yourself would probably have negative consequences on your emotional wellbeing - I think we have to pick our battles."
Mushin Ahmed was assaulted on Fitzwilliam Road on 10 August while it is believed he was on his way to early morning prayers at a mosque.
South Yorkshire Police said two men aged 29 and 24 have been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
Mr Ahmed is in a "critical but stable" condition in hospital the force said.
Both men are being held in police custody.
It brings the total number of people arrested in connection with the attack to four.
Damien Hunt, 29, of Doncaster Road, and 21-year-old Kieran Rice, of Oakes Meadow, both in Rotherham, were charged with assault with intent last week.
They appeared before Rotherham Magistrates' Court on Friday where they were remanded in custody to appear at Sheffield Crown Court on 28 August.
The decision is part of restructuring which will increase production in Dundee and modernise another facility at Stoke-on-Trent.
The company said the decision had been made due to the "significant downturn" in demand for truck tyres in Europe since the financial crisis of 2007.
The Unite union said it was "devastating news".
Reaction to Michelin Ballymena announcement
Unite's Davy Thompson said in addition to the workers directly employed by Michelin on the site, "there are approximately 500 contractors and many more in the wider economy who now face the threat of redundancy as a result of this announcement".
"These were highly-paid, secure jobs reflecting the progressive employment practices of Michelin and their loss will devastate the retail and services economy in this region," he said.
In its statement, Michelin said: "There is a strong need to reduce overcapacity and concentrate Michelin truck tyre production in larger, more competitive sites.
"Despite great efforts and progress being made in previous years, other European plants are still more competitive than Ballymena."
It said it would release more than £5m to help company start-ups, fund expansion at existing businesses and supply investment to attract new businesses to Ballymena.
The company also said it would be speaking to workers about enhanced redundancies and would facilitate any staff who wanted to go and work in any of its other plants in the UK.
As part of its overall restructuring, Michelin has announced investments of £65m at its Dundee and Stoke sites which it says will create 100 jobs.
The Ballymena factory produced its first tyre on 3 December 1969.
It produces about one million bus and truck tyres per year, with more than 70% of its total production capacity being exported, chiefly to North America.
The company had been warning for a number of years about the threat to the future of the Ballymena plant caused by high energy costs.
"This is pretty horrendous for Ballymena.
"There's going to be about 900 well-paid manufacturing jobs going here.
"Even if many of those people find new work, the sort of work that's been done here, this kind of manufacturing work employing big volumes of people paying quite good salaries, that is not going to come back, that sort of work is not going to come to Northern Ireland in those sort of numbers ever again."

North Antrim MP Ian Paisley said it "cannot be understated how big a blow this is to the manufacturing industry in Northern Ireland.
"For north Antrim this means the loss of millions of pounds of wages annually and is frankly hard to come to terms with."
He added: "The north Antrim factory has put up a valiant fight, but today they have bowed their head."
Northern Ireland first and deputy first ministers Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness said in a joint statement that it was "a devastating development for the workers, their families and indeed the wider Ballymena area".
"The [Northern Ireland] Executive will make every effort to alleviate the impact of the job losses and ensure the necessary support is available to those affected directly and indirectly," they added.
Michael McGaughey, who has worked at Michelin for 18 years, said the news of the closure had come as a shock.
"There has been talk about it for a long time - with the economic situation worldwide, everybody thinks something is going to happen somewhere, but you never expect that it's going to happen on your own doorstep," he said.
"It will be devastating for the community - you're talking about the wages of hundreds of people locally that aren't going back into the community, so without that money being spent, it's going to have a knock-on effect on other businesses."
It is the second major jobs blow to Ballymena in just over a year. In October 2014 cigarette maker JTI Gallaher announced it would be shutting its plant in the town with the loss of 800 jobs.
Redundancies there are expected to begin in May 2016 and the factory will shut down completely in 2017.
His career-best lifted the Bears to 435 despite Tim Bresnan bagging his first five-wicket haul in three years.
Bresnan's 5-85 and James Middlebrook's 3-96 kept Yorkshire in the match, but spinner Jeetan Patel then removed openers Alex Lees and Will Rhodes.
Yorkshire dipped to 88-3 before partially recovering to 128-3 at stumps
The duel between last season's champions and runners-up is going the way of the latter so far with only Westwood, whose 196 came from 377 balls, with 25 fours, having passed 50.
The left-hander's marathon effort finally ended when he fell lbw to off-spinner Middlebrook to provide the 37-year-old with his first wicket since rejoining Yorkshire as emergency spin-bowling cover - and his 50th in first-class cricket for his native county.
Badly depleted by England calls and injuries, Yorkshire went into bat requiring 286 to avoid the follow on and reached 41 without loss before Patel trapped Alex Lees lbw for 19 in the last over before tea.
Warwickshire then struck twice in seven balls as Will Rhodes (46) chipped Patel to mid-on.
Boyd Rankin took the catch and then added a wicket with his second ball, but it was a controversial one as Cheteshwar Pujara was adjudged caught by wicketkeeper Peter McKay who failed to take the ball cleanly, before scooping it up at the second attempt.
After conferring, the umpires sent Pujara on his way to loud boos from a section of the crowd.
Yorkshire batsman Will Rhodes:
"I am really pleased how things have gone in my past three innings and in my opinion I think I should have had a hundred by now, although I did give it away today. But I like to be aggressive against the spinners.
"I am not taking anything for granted. All I can do is put my name in the hat and hope to get selected. If not, I will be happy to go back in the second team for a while."
Warwickshire director of cricket Dougie Brown:
"We have to come back tomorrow and get stuck in again. The third day is always the 'moving' day - bit like in the Masters - and we have got two days left to try to force a win."
(On Pujara's dismissal) "Peter McKay was convinced that he had caught the ball, even though it may have looked as if he hadn't. Peter is a very trustworthy guy and you have to go with him."
It happened at the doorway of a fast food restaurant in Donegall Place around 00:30 BST on Sunday.
The injured man suffered serious head injuries during the incident.
A man in his 20s was arrested but later released on police bail pending further inquiries. Police have appealed for witnesses to contact them.
Suffolk coroner Dr Peter Dean recorded an open verdict on the death of Tyler Mison, 13, at the inquest in Ipswich.
His mother Joanne Mison, of Shotley Gate, Suffolk, said she was convinced that her son Tyler had died after experimenting with a "choking game".
Dr Dean said the death may have been due to some form of high-risk game.
But he added it was difficult to say if that was what had happened.
Police said they could find no clues to indicate why Tyler, who was born in Manchester, had hanged himself and no evidence he had been playing a choking game.
Dr Dean said Tyler had seemed a "normal happy lad" and there was no evidence to suggest that he intended to take his own life.
Tyler was, said his parents, a happy, but easily led boy.
A pupil at Holbrook High School in Shotley, he was planning to join the Army Cadet Force.
On 9 September last year he was found by his stepfather hanging from his bed at home.
Mrs Mison said she was sure he had been trying a choking game which, she said, youngsters played to give themselves a "high", the inquest heard.
She said in the weeks before his death Tyler had had bloodshot eyes, headaches and marks on his neck.
Mrs Mison said she had thought nothing of them at the time but with hindsight felt that they were classic signs of choking game experiments.
She said: "I had never heard of 'the choking game' before. But it is well-known in America and you can find it on the internet.
"I think teachers, parents, anyone who works with children should be made aware of the signs and the dangers."
The government said in a statement: "We believe that this practice is still relatively rare and unknown in most schools.
"On balance, we feel that a national awareness campaign may give the practice unwanted publicity and increase the risk that more children may experiment with it." | Cardboard polling booths are to be trialled at this Thursday's European elections in an effort to save cash.

After a successful visit to Japan earlier this month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be welcoming Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday.
He will be following this up with his visit to the US at the end of September. And it is being claimed that both Mr Xi's visit to India and Mr Modi's visit to Washington will pack quite a punch.
Given the recent history of turbulence in Sino-Indian ties, the visit of the Chinese president to India will be closely watched and analysed.
As chief minister of Gujarat, Mr Modi travelled to China five times, more than to any other nation, and he has been visibly impressed by China's economic success.
His landslide electoral victory in May was viewed by some in Beijing as a harbinger of better times, with Mr Modi being described as India's "Nixon" who will take Sino-Indian ties to new heights.
This early exuberance has now given way to a more realistic appraisal but Beijing views Mr Modi as a strong leader who can deliver.
An early outreach to Mr Modi was, therefore, seen as essential in making sure that Delhi does not gravitate rapidly to an emerging anti-China coalition in the larger Indo-Pacific as the US fashions its strategic rebalance to the region.
Mr Xi will start his visit from Modi's home state of Gujarat on Mr Modi's 64th birthday on Wednesday where he will be personally welcomed by the Indian prime minister and treated to a sumptuous traditional dinner on the banks of the Sabarmati river.
Mr Modi and Mr Xi have already met previously at the Brics summit in Brazil where they were able to develop a personal rapport which they would like to use to make this visit a success.
Much like Mr Modi, Mr Xi is also a strong nationalist leader who has a hardline orientation on national security but remains eager to co-operate on economic issues.
Mr Modi's room for diplomatic manoeuvering is considerably higher than that of his predecessor, Manmohan Singh, who was constrained by his lack of political authority and his party's seeming foreign policy ineptitude.
Where the Congress Party has been paralysed by an almost irrational fear of offending Chinese sensitivities and in the process ended up jeopardising Delhi's ties with its partners like Japan and the US, Mr Modi has taken a more confident position from the very time he assumed office.
Where he has openly talked of Chinese "expansionism" and has started taking concrete measures to insulate India from the negative effects of China's rapid military modernisation, he has also made it clear that he would be going all out to woo Chinese investments into India.
Mr Modi's energetic diplomacy in his first few months in office seems to have put China on notice that Delhi is not without options in a rapidly evolving global geostrategic context.
It has increased India's strategic space which Mr Modi would now like to leverage in his engagement with Beijing.
In a sign that the focus of Mr Xi's visit will be on energising trade ties, the Chinese president will be accompanied by more than 100 Chinese businesspeople.
China is likely to announce several major investment initiatives in India as the Chinese corporate sector starts looking at India with renewed interest under Mr Modi.
India has been averse to Chinese participation in many sectors of the economy, thereby reducing the flow of Chinese foreign direct investment into India despite its dire need for it.
Chinese companies will now be encouraged to invest in India by unveiling dedicated industrial parks in India.
China is India's largest trading partner but with an increasing trade deficit hovering around $40bn. This is something that Mr Modi remains focused on rectifying.
This focus on trade and economic issues does not mean that Mr Modi's government can afford to soft pedal on strategic issues.
Last week, India's Foreign Minister, Sushma Swaraj, made it clear China must respect India's territorial claim over Arunachal Pradesh.
"For India to agree to a one-China policy, China should reaffirm one-India policy," argued Ms Swaraj.
The Sino-Indian relationship faces a number of challenges - from the vexed boundary issue to a growing trade imbalance.
Public perceptions have turned negative as mutual distrust between China and India has grown in the last few years.
According to the Indian Home Ministry, there have been 334 "transgressions" by Chinese troops over the Indian border in the first 216 days of this year.
China's growing naval presence in the Indian Ocean poses its own challenge to India.
Mr Xi's visit to Maldives and Sri Lanka before coming to India underscores Beijing's commitment to develop close links with the island states of the Indian Ocean.
China's plans for a "maritime silk road" connected by cross-border infrastructure will further cement Beijing's role in the region as both Male and Colombo have lapped up China's invitation to join this initiative.
India has been invited too but it remains ambivalent about the project and is yet to make up its mind.
The challenges are immense but so is this opportunity which is presented by the emergence of strong political leaderships in Beijing and Delhi.
Both Mr Modi and Mr Xi have recognised this. It remains to be seen if they will be able to grasp the nettle this week.

Nadiem Amiri's strike from the edge of the box wrong-footed goalkeeper Jordan Pickford to open the scoring on Friday.
England's best chance fell to Alfie Mawson, but the Swansea defender's weak shot was easily saved after Nathaniel Chalobah sliced an acrobatic volley.
Jack Stephens could also have levelled, but Julian Pollersbeck saved well.
The Southampton defender then latched on to a deep free-kick inside the area late on, only to miscue his attempt from close range.
However, it was the hosts who dominated possession, with Wolfsburg midfielder Max Arnold - capped at senior level by Germany - impressing before he was substituted.
The 22-year-old went close to doubling the lead before the break with a long-range effort that Sunderland keeper Pickford watched wide.
Pickford gave an assured performance after conceding the goal, saving well on several occasions to keep the deficit at one.

A disjointed first half was enlivened by George Ford's try off turnover possession, although Carlo Canna's boot kept the Azzurri within a score.
But two quick tries from Jonathan Joseph, his fifth and sixth in his past seven Six Nations matches, calmed English anxieties.
And the Bath centre completed his hat-trick with a powerful run into the left-hand corner before Owen Farrell gathered Jamie George's classy offload to score England's fifth try.
Having beaten the two traditionally weakest nations, England now face the sterner test of Ireland in a fortnight before Wales come calling two weeks further on.
But with their next two matches at home they have the opportunity to build on these early if predictable successes and lay down the blueprint for what a Jones team will really look like.
After an early exchange of penalties in a messy opening period, England opened a lead when Mike Brown won a turnover in the Italy 22, Billy Vunipola's smart inside pass finding Ben Youngs down the left and Farrell spotting Ford free on the wing for the fly-half to slide over for his first international try away from home.
Farrell had been off for a head injury assessment, forcing a comprehensive if brief reshuffle of the back line, but it was Italian injuries that really began to count - Marco Fuser, Alessandro Zanni and Gonzalo Garcia all being replaced in the first half-hour.
Canna's third penalty narrowed the visitors' lead to just two points at half-time, not quite the "good hiding" that coach Jones had asked for in the build-up.
England were looking to put the Italian back three under pressure with high kicks but just as last weekend at Murrayfield, silly mistakes and infringements slowed their momentum.
There was limited sign of the fluency Jones had hoped for, and had Canna not hooked a kickable penalty England would have trailed after 50 minutes.
Instead Italy gifted them a second try, Leonardo Sarto's looping, obvious pass on his own 22 picked off by the predatory Joseph for his sixth try in 18 caps.
With Danny Care on for Youngs, Joe Marler for Mako Vunipola and the highly-rated Maro Itoje on for his debut at blind-side flanker, at last the points and panache followed.
Care's cute grubber off a 10-man rolling maul was gathered by Joseph for his second, and with 20-year-old Paul Hill a second debutant off the bench, England's forward power enabled them to take a tighter grip.
Joseph fought through three tackles to score in the left-hand corner off more turnover ball and Care fed George who popped a pass out of contact to Farrell as a tiring Italy fell away.
It might be just two matches since an England player last grabbed a Test hat-trick - both Nick Easter and Jack Nowell scored three against Uruguay - but Joseph confirmed his value to England with three contrasting yet equally impressive scores.
Italy: McLean; L Sarto, Campagnaro, Garcia, Bellini; Canna, Gori; Lovotti, Gega, Cittadini, Biagi, Fuser, Minto, Zanni, Parisse.
Replacements: Pratichetti for Garcia (32), Padovani for Canna (60), Palazzani for Gori (75), Zanusso for Lovotti (62), Giazzon for Gega (41), Castrogiovanni for Cittadini (58), Bernabo for Fuser (14), Steyn for Zanni (30).
England: Brown; Watson, Joseph, Farrell, Nowell; Ford, Youngs; M Vunipola, Hartley, Cole, Lawes, Kruis, Robshaw, Haskell, B Vunipola.
Replacements: Goode for Brown (69), Care for Youngs (49), Marler for M. Vunipola (47), George for Hartley (69), P Hill for Cole (69), Launchbury for Lawes (47), Clifford for Robshaw (62), Itoje for Haskell (54).

Following the Grenfell Tower disaster in London, Electrical Safety First (ESF) said the Welsh Government should test white goods such as fridge-freezers and washing machines for free.
The Metropolitan Police said the blaze started in a Hotpoint fridge-freezer.
The Welsh Government said its fire safety advisory group would look at what lessons could be learned.
In Wales, registered social landlords own 36 blocks and ESF wants the fire safety advisory group to consider making councils and housing associations have a legal responsibility to carry out free electrical safety checks on appliances and a register of white goods.
The charity said the initial cost would be between £500,000 and £600,000 every five years.
A Welsh Government spokeswoman said: "The group will take an informed approach, making recommendations to ensure tenants in Wales continue to be informed and safe.
"It will be guided in this by the work of the UK government's expert panel."
ESF looked at Stats Wales figures for fires involving white goods including dishwashers, fridge-freezers, spin dryers, tumble dryers, washing machine and washer/dryers.
There were 1,249 fires from 2009 to 2016 involving these appliances.
Robert Jervis-Gibbons, public affairs manager at ESF, said: "We believe that first and foremost, those living in densely populated areas like tower blocks in Wales must be protected.
"As a result we would like to see the Welsh Government implement safety checks as a matter of urgency."
At a one-day inquiry on Thursday, senior fire officers gave evidence to an assembly committee on fire safety in high rise blocks in Wales.
Stuart Millington of North Wales Fire and Rescue Service said visits had been carried out at all 76 properties above six storeys high.
Politicians also heard evidence of some residents living in high rise properties had been attempting their own fire safety tests on building materials.
Iwan Cray from Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said: "Given the scenario where we are today, 700 flats we've knocked on doors since Grenfell and not everybody has taken up the offer of a home fire safety check in those blocks, which is quite surprising really."
Pierre Claver Mbonimpa was attacked in the capital, Bujumbura.
He was a stern critic of President Pierre Nkurunziza's controversial bid for a third term in office.
On Sunday presidential aide Gen Adolphe Nshimirimana was killed in an attack on his car in Bujumbura. He was in charge of the president's personal security.
Burundi has suffered serious unrest since President Nkurunziza's decision in April to seek a third term in office.
Opponents argued this violated the constitution and there was a failed coup attempt in May.
A presidential election was held last month which Mr Nkurunziza won, but which was boycotted by the opposition.
The US special envoy for the region, Tom Perriello, condemned the attack on Mr Mbonimpa.
"We are just horrified," he told BBC Newsday.
"This is a truly courageous man who has repeatedly stood up for the rights of the people of Burundi and has repeatedly been sent to prison for standing up for basic civil rights," he added.
The activist is in intensive care in a Bujumbura hospital, a relative told Reuters news agency.
The shooting took place near Mr Mbonimpa's home north of the capital on Monday evening.
"He was going home when suddenly a group of motorcyclists encircled him and started shooting at him. Many of the bikers had guns," the relative said.
Several foreign diplomats have visited Mr Mbonimpa in hospital, says the BBC's Prime Ndikumagenge in Bujumbura.
Mr Mbonimpa is believed to be one of the few members of Burundi's civil society opposed to the president who have not fled the country.
In April, he was held without charge for more than 24 hours by the intelligence services after he called for protests against the president's efforts to secure a third term.
Correspondents say that Mr Mbonimpa's work over the years for the rights of prisoners and others has won international acclaim and that rumours of his death had circulated in Burundi before the shooting took place.
Figures suggest that 4.5 million part-worn tyres are sold in the UK every year.
In some areas more than 80% are sold illegally, many with serious safety defects, according to council Trading Standards' teams.
The LGA said irresponsible traders were "putting lives at serious risk".
Part-worn tyres are being sold with unsafe repairs and incorrect labelling, council Trading Standards teams reported.
In 2015, there were 16 deaths and 908 road casualties that involved illegal, defective or under-inflated tyres, according to government figures.
Durham County Council officers found that just one of the 39 tyres they checked at various traders bore the required "part-worn" tyre marking, with 25 tyres having problems that could impair safety.
Ten tyres had unsafe repairs, nine were over 10 years old and one was 23 years old.
The LGA is urging motorists buying second-hand tyres to check that they bear the required "part-worn" marking, which lets drivers know that the tyre has been checked and meets legal requirements.
Simon Blackburn, chairman of the LGA's Safer and Stronger Communities Board, said: "Cheap part-worn tyres might be tempting to buy but if they don't have the correct legal markings, motorists risk buying illegal tyres which could contribute to a major accident."
Mr Blackburn advised motorists to go to a reputable trader and check tyres for the "part-worn" stamp, as well as any cracks, tears and lumps.
He also said drivers should check the state of the tread before buying a tyre.
He added: "New tyres are available to suit all budgets, provide a safer option and should last longer, meaning they may offer better value for money in the long term."
Bowie unveiled two albums and his Ziggy Stardust persona during a series of gigs at Aylesbury's Friars music venue in the early 1970s.
Sculptor Andrew Sinclair has promised that the Buckinghamshire memorial will be "something special".
Fundraising for the statue is still under way and it is not yet known when designs will be revealed.
Mr Sinclair has admitted he is under a lot of pressure to get his Bowie design right. He said: "He was there all my life. He was like a friend.
"I wanted to create something that encompasses his career and his life, with Ziggy Stardust as the main focus. But, at the same time, he's too big a character to just make him Ziggy.
"Historically the design itself has to resonate through the ages."
Mr Sinclair added: "There's an opportunity to use colour in the sculpture. He'll be holding a microphone but his actual position will be unusual. I want to produce something special, that's unique to Aylesbury and something people can be proud of."
Bowie, one of the most influential musicians of the modern era, died of cancer in January at the age of 69.
His style changed through the decades and was well known for creating his flamboyant, glam rock alter ego Ziggy Stardust, which he unveiled at Aylesbury Friars.
Tracks from two of his most iconic albums, "Hunky Dory" and "The rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" were also given their debuts at the venue.
The local council has already given the go-ahead for the monument to be built under the Market Square arches.
But it said that no taxpayers' money was available for the project so organisers will have to raise the £150,000 needed through grants and an online petition.
Robinson, 41, has been working at Euro 2016 as Michael O'Neill's number two.
The Latics have been looking for a new manager since the departure of John Sheridan, who left to take over at Notts County.
"When I came down, I felt like this was the right club. I really like what the owner said to me," Robinson said.
"He sold me his ideas and ambitions and I had demands of my own. He has been really good with that and it's an exciting time for the football club.
"I'm more than ready for this job. It's a club that has massive tradition and I want to get an identity back to the club."
Robinson is set to appoint Ian Baraclough as his assistant after they worked together when Baraclough was manager of Motherwell between December 2014 and September 2015.
Last week, Oldham added former Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest boss Sean O'Driscoll to the coaching staff and gave him a role in helping the board appoint a new manager.
Steve Evans, most recently of Leeds United, rejected the offer to manage Oldham despite agreeing personal terms.
The 23-year-old striker joined from Millwall for the rest of the end of the season on Monday, his second temporary deal at Sixfields.
"John was outstanding, exactly what we wanted," Wilder said.
"He had energy, aggression, he ran away from them a couple of times, was a goal threat and scored, so he can be delighted with his second debut."
Marquis has had seven loan spells at six different clubs since making his Millwall debut in 2009 and got Northampton's second goal in their 2-1 win at York on Tuesday night.
"Getting to the pace I didn't think would be a problem, the way I play is quite high intensity, it was just how long I could go really," Marquis told BBC Radio Northampton, after playing 60 minutes of the match.
"It was planned before to get an hour and I put everything I had into the hour for fitness.
"I was a bit rusty here and there and I had a good chance in the first half, which I think when I'm fit and sharp I'll be taking.
"Apart from that it was good, and nice to get some minutes in the legs."
Sam Woodhead, 18, failed to return to a cattle station in central Queensland on Tuesday afternoon.
The former Brighton College student from Richmond in south-west London was "within hours of death" his mother, Claire Derry said.
Mr Woodhead was found on Friday after a rescue helicopter spotted his shorts.
Ms Derry told BBC Radio 4's Broadcasting House programme: "He's apparently in a very different condition to what he was on Friday.
"He's brown and looks very well indeed but he has some kidney problems due to the dehydration."
He had lost two stone (12kg) in the three days he was missing, she said.
"We were probably within two hours of him surviving something like that.
"The plane only saw his shorts fly into the air at the last moment as they were turning away, and they then turned back. They had very little fuel left on board."
Mr Woodhead told Radio 4 he got disorientated after going on a run.
"It started like a pretty normal run and I didn't have a set route and ended up a long way from where I thought I was.
"I knew that people would be looking for me, but I knew cars or horses would not be able to reach me.
"I turned to drinking my contact lens solution and drunk some of my own urine. It was getting pretty desperate.
"I don't think I would have lasted another half day. I was on my last legs."
He added: "The helicopter was flying pretty low and, as it went along, my shorts which I'd put on top of my SOS signal to give it some colour, flew up in the air under the propeller and they turned round and saw me."
Speaking from Longreach airport in north east Australia, Ms Derry said: "We are about to fly back to Brisbane.
"The doctor feels that in about a month he'll be properly restored to his former self."
Mr Woodhead said he is planning to continue his travels.
He was reported missing by the owner of Upshot Station, where he was working. The backpacker had been in Australia for eight days when he disappeared.
Temperatures were about 37C (100F) in the area at the time.
Macy's net income for the period between August and October was $118m (£77m), down from $217m in the same period last year.
Shares in the company fell 14% following the news.
In a statement, Macy's chief executive Terry Lundgren said the company was "disappointed" that the pace of sales did not improve as much as expected.
Sales were hurt in part by the warm weather, which made it harder to sell winter clothing, and a strong dollar, which hurt tourist spending.
"Heading into the fourth quarter, we are shifting our organisation into overdrive to focus on sales-driving activities in the holiday shopping season," said Mr Lundgren.
The company now sees full-year earnings coming in at $4.20 to $4.30 per share, compared with an earlier guidance of $4.70 to $4.80.
Macy's has opened five discounted outlets in the New York area and plans to open a sixth before the end of the year.
The company, which also owns the department store Bloomingdale's, plans to open three new discount branches of that store too.
Macy's said it is also considering discounts at its stores to help move large quantities of inventory.
On a call with investors chief financial officer Karen Hoguet said "we will need to liquidate this inventory in the fourth quarter so that we can maintain the flow of fresh new merchandise."
Macy's has been cutting down on the number of standard priced stores that it owns for the last several years. Earlier this year it announced plans to close 35 to 40 stores in the US in early 2016.
It will provide treatment to NHS, private and self-funding patients.
The treatment is a highly-targeted type of radiotherapy that can treat hard-to-reach cancers.
Cardiff-based Proton Partners International's announcement comes after two-year-old Freya Bevan was forced to travel from Neath to Oklahoma for treatment in February.
Freya and her family made the journey because the treatment for her brain tumour was not available in the UK.
Proton Partners International said two other centres will also open in London and Northumberland in 2017.
It found 20,804 shops opened in the UK between January and the end of June, down 15% on the second half of 2015.
The slowdown was surprising as the first few months of the year typically see a surge in new shops opening up.
The LDC said worries over the state of the global economy and concerns over Brexit were probably behind the fall.
Describing the slowdown as a "dramatic fall", Michael Weedon from the LDC said Brexit was not entirely blame.
"In January and February people were not thinking, 'better not open a shop'," he said.
Instead, concerns over the global economy were likely to have weighed on the minds of entrepreneurs.
The LDC report showed that the number of shop closures also fell in the first half of the year, but by only 5% to 22,801.
All told, closures exceeded openings by 1,997 - reversing the situation in the second half of 2015 when openings were ahead of closures by 335.

The vacancy rate fell for most of the first half of the year, as shops were demolished or used for other purposes faster than new buildings were put up.
However the vacancy rate for shops and leisure premises edged higher in June, rising to 11.2%.
"Whether this will be just a twitch in the statistics or the beginning of a long term reversal will become clear over the coming months," said Matthew Hopkinson from the LDC.
"For example, the 23% net growth in restaurants since 2010 is unlikely to continue.
Business, government and the media are all sniffing the air and scanning the horizon for any piece of news that might tell us what happens next," he added.
Following the financial crisis of 2007, the vacancy rate hit a high of 12.4% in 2011, and has only declined modestly since then.
The Canadian government said gross domestic product (GDP) in the second quarter shrank by 1.6%, its largest loss since 2009.
The Canadian economy was hit hard by wildfires in its oil sands region, reducing its production.
In the first quarter of the year, Canada's economy grew by 2.5%.
The recent drop in GDP was larger than analysts had projected, but not far off the predicted 1.5% loss.
"[The figure] could have been worse, given the hit from the wildfire, and clearly confirms the disappointing downward trend in exports over the last few months," said Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets.
In May, wildfires devastated the parts of northern Alberta where much of Canada's oil and natural gas is produced.
The fire burned 2,300 sq miles (5,957 sq km) of land and caused nearly $6bn ($4.5bn) in damages.
Economic growth is expected to pick up in the later half of the year as oil production gets back on track. But the decline in global oil prices will continue to weigh on the country's growth.
Canada's economy slipped into a recession at the end of 2015 as crude prices fell, but has since mostly recovered.
It was not only energy export that dropped in the spring, though. Declines in manufacturing exports also hit the economy. That sector is expected to pick up in the second half of 2016.
Economic figures for June, however, appear to signal that the downward trend may be over.
"I think the Bank of Canada is still confident that exports will turn up and lead the economic expansion in the second half of the year," said Mr Guatieri.
The government is also hoping that negotiations with the European Union over a free trade deal will help increase exports.
A slowdown in the US economy also factored into Canada's second-quarter stumble. The US is Canada's largest trading partner and an uptick in US consumer spending should help lift exports.
The body of Alan Jeal was discovered on Perranporth beach on 25 February. He had multiple injuries and a pair of earphones stuffed in his mouth.
The show will feature a reconstruction of the body being found on Perranporth beach.
It also shows his last movements and bus journeys he took around Wadebridge, Truro, Newquay and Perranporth.
Det Ch Insp Dave Thorne, who features in the programme, said: "It has been five months since Alan's body was found and there are still many unanswered questions in this case.
"We are hoping that this latest appeal will bring us new leads to help us solve the mystery and bring closure to the family."
The programme also features interviews with Alan's brother Derek Jeal and some unseen family photographs of Alan as a younger man.
Officers have released new CCTV footage of Mr Jeal outside Bridge Tools in Wadebridge at about 16:45 GMT on 24 February. He was wearing a light-blue jacket, which has not been recovered.
Officers are also keen to trace a potential witness who was seen on CCTV at the bus stop in Truro's Lemon Quay at 18:19 GMT on 24 February.
Officers believe the man, with grey hair, wearing a long dark coat and fisherman's style hat, saw Mr Jeal while waiting for a bus.
Crimewatch, 21:00 BST BBC One 22 July 2014
Paul Tomlinson, 29, from Nottingham, filmed the attacks and discussed it on social media, in June 2014.
Tomlinson, of Melford Road, was jailed for 20 weeks and banned from keeping dogs for three years, at Nottingham Magistrates' Court.
The RSPCA described Tomlinson's actions as "barbaric" and would not be tolerated in modern society.
Tomlinson was charged with two counts of wilfully killing or attempting to kill a badger, contrary to the Protection of Badgers Act, on 5 and 23 June 2014.
He was also accused of keeping three Lurcher dogs for use in connection with an animal fight, contrary to the Animal Welfare Act.
Magistrate Pam Draper told Tomlinson: "You kept and trained dogs for fighting, enabling them to kill the badgers.
"You videoed this happening and posted it on social media and the dogs sustained injuries."
After the sentencing Mike Butcher, RSPCA's chief inspector, said Tomlinson went out to "deliberately attack" animals.
"That can't be tolerated. In this day and age it's a barbaric way to pass your time - it's amazing how many people do this and how prevalent it is," Mr Butcher said.
"It was organised, it was thought about, so that should always contain a jail sentence."
Stirling Orchestra, which formed in 1983, is one of the five competitors in All Together Now: The Great Orchestra Challenge.
The four-part BBC4 series aims to find the UK's top amateur orchestra.
Stirling made it to the final five after 250 orchestras initially entered the competition by submitting videos.
The orchestra, which has about 70 members, includes a horse riding coach, a social worker and a microbiologist.
It will face the London Gay Symphony Orchestra, North Devon Sinfonia, the Slaithwaite Philharmonic Orchestra and Birmingham-based People's Orchestra in the competition.
The winning orchestra will perform on stage at the BBC Proms in the Park, in Hyde Park.
Stirling Orchestra draws amateur musicians from across central Scotland and rehearses every week at the city's Wallace High School.
It performs two or three concerts a year in Stirling's Albert Halls.
Stephen Broad, the orchestra's conductor for the past 12 years, said: "I think that when an orchestra plays well together the whole experience of it becomes much more successful, both for the orchestra and the audience.
"We have a huge range of abilities in the orchestra but you can still achieve a really successful concert if you look for everyone to play together well."
There were only eight weeks between the orchestra's first rehearsal and the first knock-out round of the competition.
Cellist Gemma McAusland said: "I think you get the discipline of having to practice.
"When you're just sat at home and you've got nothing to aim for, nothing to practice for, you can very quickly become out of practice yourself.
"Coming to orchestra once a week forces you into that routine of having to get the instrument out of the case on a regular basis.
"That in turn improves your playing over a longer period of time and it's enjoyable as well."
The show will be presented by BBC Proms presenter Katie Derham.
The orchestras will be mentored by double-bassist Chi-chi Nwanoku, and conductor Paul Daniel will judge the competitors.
The newspaper group revealed the sale price in a statement filed to the Hong Kong stock exchange. The deal was announced on Friday.
Besides the English-language newspaper, Alibaba will also own sister publications, websites, and magazines.
The acquisition has raised questions due to the close links Alibaba founder Jack Ma has with Beijing.
What do employees at SCMP think of the deal?
Alibaba has promised that the paper would have editorial independence, and said it could leverage on its technology expertise to develop the paper.
The newspaper group said it will gain about HK$1.4m from the sale, "a very substantial proportion" of which would be disbursed in a special cash dividend.
The paper was founded in 1903 but profits and sales have been hit in recent years by the same declines as newspapers in many countries.
The store on Glenesk Road in Langholm was broken into at about 02:35.
It follows similar incidents last month at a Co-op petrol station in Lockerbie and a supermarket in Moffat.
Police are gathering and studying CCTV footage in an effort to identify and apprehend the people responsible for the latest break-in.
Det Insp Scott Young said: "I would urge anyone who saw anybody acting suspiciously in the area to come forward to police as a matter of urgency.
"In particular I would like to trace two men who were seen in the Waverley Road area around 11.30pm on Wednesday evening.
"They were wearing dark coloured clothing and baseball caps."
Police are want information on two vehicles seen between 23:30 on Wednesday and 03:00 on Thursday.
One was a light coloured Transit-type van and the other was a small white hatchback car.
"The police investigation is continuing into similar incidents at the Co-op petrol station in Lockerbie and the Co-op in Moffat last month," added Det Insp Young.
"We believe that these previous incidents are linked to this break-in."

Ond dywedodd Mr Williams ar wefan Twitter nos Lun: "Falch o gyhoeddi heno fod fy etholwraig Shiromini Satkunarajah wedi ei rhyddhau ac ni fydd yn cael ei halltudio yfory. Diolch bawb am y gefnogaeth."
Yn gynharach, dywedodd Mr Williams ar lawr Tŷ'r Cyffredin: "Mae hi wedi dilyn y rheolau mewnfudo i'r llythyren, ond pan alwodd i orsaf heddlu Caernarfon yr wythnos ddiwethaf fe gafodd ei harestio, ei chadw yn y celloedd am dridiau a'i throsglwyddo i Yarls Wood.
"Rwyf wedi cysylltu â'r Gweinidog Mewnfudo sawl tro i ofyn iddo ddefnyddio doethineb yn yr achos yma, sydd â chefnogaeth eang gan gynnwys gan rai o aelodau'r Tŷ.
"Hyd yma nid yw wedi fy ateb. Mae hi i fod i adael yfory."
Cafodd Ms Satkunarajah, ei geni yn Sri Lanka ond mae wedi byw ym Mhrydain ers wyth mlynedd ac ar fin gorffen ei chwrs mewn peirianneg electroneg.
Cyn y datblygiadau diweddaraf, roedd disgwyl iddi adael Prydain fore Mawrth.
Daeth Miss Satkunarajah i Brydain yn 2009 fel rhywun oedd yn dibynnu ar ei thad oedd wedi dod yma gyda fisa.
Fe wnaeth ei thad farw yn 2011 ond fe gafodd hi a'i mam aros tra ei bod yn cwblhau ei haddysg yn yr ysgol ac yn dechrau ei chwrs yn y brifysgol.
Cafodd ceisiadau pellach i aros eu gwrthod ond roedd ganddi hawl i aros tra roedd hi'n apelio.

Spaniard Clotet, who replaced Michael Appleton in July, saw his new team seal victory with goals from Wes Thomas and Josh Ruffels.
The Latics could have gone in front when Aaron Amadi-Holloway set up Craig Davies, but the striker's first-time shot was saved by visiting goalkeeper Simon Eastwood.
Instead it was Oxford who led after 39 minutes as Jack Payne played a through-ball and, with Oldham appealing in vain for offside, Thomas raced clear and slotted home.
Ryan Ledson went close to adding a quickfire second for the away side, with his 20-yard drive forcing a save from Ben Wilson.
Oxford, who narrowly missed out on last season's play-offs, again showed their attacking threat with a superb move which ended when Payne was smartly denied by Wilson.
Oldham squandered a good chance when Tope Obadeyi slashed off target, but the visitors doubled the lead on 71 minutes as Ruffels collected Payne's pass and fired home from 12 yards.

Peers voted by a majority of 92 to amend the Welfare Reform and Work Bill to make ministers report annually on income levels in the poorest families.
The move was spearheaded by the Bishop of Durham, Rt Rev Paul Butler, who argued income-related statistics must be recorded so they could be assessed with other measurements of deprivation.
Ministers say life chances are a better measure of economic outcomes.
The defeat could be overturned when the bill returns to the Commons later this year.
If it is not, ministers will be obliged to present a report to Parliament each year setting out the percentage of children in households whose net income is 60% to 70% below the median average.
The government's decision to change how child poverty is measured, to focus on the root causes of poverty rather than income disparities, has angered opposition parties and anti-poverty campaigners
But ministers insist that income benchmarks put in place by the last Labour government painted a false picture and meant that inter-generational factors holding families back, such as unemployment and low educational attainment, were ignored.
Bishop Butler said he conceded income levels should not be the only measure of levels of relative poverty but were still highly significant.
"It is also possible to understate the importance of income, or the lack of it, especially among those of us who have plenty," he said.
"There is also a wealth of academic evidence pointing to the damaging effect income poverty has on children's wellbeing, including their health, education and future employment prospects."
While he was not seeking to reinstate an income-based definition of child poverty, the bishop said his proposal would ensure income was measured and reported on an equal basis to other social indicators.
Ministers insist the move is not needed as income-related statistics would still be collated.
Welfare minister Lord Freud said, on their own, income figures were at best a "partial reflection" of an individual's economic wellbeing, and did not take into account levels of debt and savings, employment histories and increased school spending in areas of the highest deprivation.
During Monday's report stage debate on the Welfare Bill, ministers also announced that the government would be exempting recipients of carer's allowance from the overall household benefit cap, which is set to fall to a maximum of £20,000 outside London and £23,00 in the capital.
Lord Freud said the government valued the contribution carers made to society and was taking further steps to support them.
The Hoegh Osaka was run aground after listing at 50 degrees on 3 January.
The 51,000-tonne vessel was eventually righted and towed back to Southampton. The vehicles onboard, worth £60m, have been removed over the past two weeks.
It set sail on Tuesday afternoon under its own power and arrived in Falmouth, Cornwall, at 09:45 GMT.
A spokesman at Falmouth docks said two tugs were in attendance when it came into port.
An underwater survey will begin on Thursday before work to repair internal steelwork and remove contaminated oil and water can be carried out.
The vessel departed Southampton at 14:30 on Tuesday after "generator issues" led to two-and-a-half hour delay, a spokesman for the owners of the ship Hoegh Autoliners said.
After repairs, which are expected to take up to three weeks, the ship is expected to return to normal service, he added.
A previous inspection showed only "minimal damage" to the ship.
More than £60m worth of Jaguar Land Rover, Hyundai and Mini cars, as well as JCB vehicles were on board the ship when it was grounded.
The incident is being investigated by the Marine Accident Investigation Branch.
Hoegh Osaka - Stranded in the Solent for 19 days
Pte Archibald Buchanan Clark, from West Lothian, died at Kumgong in 1951, aged 20, while on National Service.
The Rifleman in the 1st Battalion King's Own Scottish Borderers was killed by enemy gunfire.
Now, 65 years later, he has been honoured with the Elizabeth Cross, which was presented to his brother Roy in a ceremony in Edinburgh on Thursday.
His family said in a statement: "Archie is, and will always be, missed.
"This medal and scroll will be passed down through the family, who will always have a reminder of the sacrifice Archie and all his comrades made."
Edinburgh's Lord Lieutenant Donald Wilson led the ceremony at Edinburgh City Chambers.
He said: "It is an honour to bestow Archie's brother and extended family with a tangible recognition of his bravery.
"The Elizabeth Cross provides a lasting recognition of his national service and the loss felt by those he left behind.
"The contribution of Scottish troops during the Korean War is all too often overlooked, which makes honouring soldiers like Archie and remembering their sacrifice even more important."
The South African team won in a new world record time of 41.87 seconds.
Brazil and defending champions USA pressed hard, but both nations were disqualified which meant China and Germany took silver and bronze.
Earlier Pistorius, the defending 100m champion, qualified with the second quickest time for Thursday's T44 final.
South Africa's record-breaking 4x100m relay team:
Samkelo Radebe
Zivan Smith
Arnu Fourie
Oscar Pistorius
It was the 25-year-old's first appearance on the track since a surprise T44 200m defeat on Sunday, where he had to settle for silver behind Alan Oliveira.
Pistorius raised concerns over the length of his opponent's blades, claiming they were "not running in a fair race".
But the South African later apologised for the timing of his outburst and looked focused for the 100m despite the controversy he raised, crossing the line in 11.30 seconds.
However, Great Britain's world record holder Jonnie Peacock underlined his status as event favourite with the fastest time of 11.08 secs.
World champion Jerome Singleton finished behind Peacock, but his time of 11.46 secs was the slowest of the automatic qualifiers.
The disk went missing from the East Midlands Ambulance Service headquarters in Nottingham in August 2014.
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) said it was satisfied "remedial action" had been taken.
"We will keep a record of this incident and may revisit it again if any similar problems occur," an ICO spokesman said.
The spokesman said the security breach only involved data on "an obsolete disk" that was probably not accessible.
East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) investigated the disappearance but could not determine how the disk had been lost.
EMAS noticed the disk was missing from a "secure storage safe" at its administrative site in Beechdale Road on 14 August.
The magneto-optical disk, which is similar to a floppy disk, contained scanned images of handwritten patient report forms, with details including names, addresses and some medical history.
The ICO can fine offenders up to £500,000 if "substantial damage or distress" is caused by a security breach.
The 1995 missive, addressed to "M", said being with a black man could only help her career, but that he might let down his fans.
Madonna confirmed two years ago they had had a relationship, though it is unclear how long it lasted.
The letter is up for auction with a starting bid of $100,000 (£77,000).
Dated 15 January 1995, it was penned while Tupac was serving a prison sentence for sexual assault and 18 months before he was shot dead. Both artists were then at the height of their fame.
"For you to be seen with a black man wouldn't in any way jeopardize your career, if anything it would make you seem that much more open and exciting," Tupac, then 23, wrote from New York's Clinton Correctional Facility.
"But for me at least in my previous perception I felt due to my 'image' that I would be letting down half of the people who made me what I thought I was.
"Like you said, I haven't been the kind of friend I know I am capable of being," he wrote, adding: "I never meant to hurt you."
Rolling Stone magazine said it had confirmed the authenticity of the document, which was first published by TMZ.
Tupac - whose parents were both Black Panthers - also suggested Madonna, then 36, hurt him by saying in an interview that she was "'off to rehabilitate all the rappers and basketball players' or something to that effect".
"Those words cut me deep seeing how I had never known you to be with any rappers besides myself," he wrote.
"It was at this moment out of hurt and a natural instinct to strike back and defend my heart and ego that I said a lot of things."
He added: "Please understand my previous position as that of a young man with limited experience with a extremely famous sex symbol."
Tupac concluded: "It's funny but this experience has taught me to not take time for granted." He signed off with a heart symbol.
On 7 September 1996, the rapper - who sold over 75 million records worldwide - died in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas after watching a Mike Tyson boxing match.
The letter will be up for auction at the Gotta Have Rock and Roll sale, which is scheduled for 19 - 28 July.
Czech Pliskova was shocked in the first set by the Paraguayan but won 2-6 6-3 6-4 in one hour and 51 minutes.
Third seed Simona Halep of Romania is also through after she thrashed Carla Suarez Navarro 6-1 6-1.
Halep, the 2014 runner-up, swept aside her 21st-seeded opponent from Spain in exactly one hour.
It was the Romanian's first win over Suarez Navarro on clay in six attempts.
She will play fifth seed Elina Svitolina for a place in the semi-finals after she came from 2-5 down in the final set to beat Petra Martic.
Svitolina, 22, needed treatment to her back and was in massive trouble at 0-30 down at 2-5 in the third.
But she somehow rallied to win 4-6 6-3 7-5 and thanked the crowd for their support.
"You give me this energy to fight for every ball and I was trying to not let you down," she said.
"I decided to give everything I had, and to stay strong mentally. Today I was struggling a bit with my injury but hopefully I can recover well and be strong for the quarter-final."
In an all-French fourth-round match Caroline Garcia, the 28th seed, beat rival Alize Cornet 6-2 6-4.

Those behind the bronze "life size and-a-half" statue, created by the sculptor Douglas Jennings want it to go up in Parliament Square.
But there have been a series of objections, including the possibility it could be vandalised and that it does not have the Thatcher family's backing.
The Parliamentary Estate has also objected to the proposal.
It has pointed out there is already a statue of Lady Thatcher in the Commons and that Westminster Council's own planning guidelines state Parliament Square - home to 11 statues - is within the "monument saturation zone, considered unsuitable for new memorials" and that statues should adhere to a rule that they do not go up within 10 years of the subject's death.
A local conservation group, the Thorney Island Society, has commented on the application, saying the 10-year-rule should be adhered to, despite the fact a statue to Nelson Mandela was put up before his death.
The group said: "While Lady Thatcher was also widely respected it cannot be said that she was uncontroversial in this country.
"There is a strong case for the ten-year rule to be respected - there should be a decent interval before permanent statues are erected, especially when they are controversial enough to risk vandalism."
The society adds: "We understand that Lady Thatcher's daughter dislikes the statue."
The Thatcher family has been contacted for a comment.
Asked about reports that the statue had effectively been blocked over concerns about vandalism, Mrs May told the BBC: "I understand there are a number of issues that have been raised around the statue. What I'm very clear about is there should be no suggestion that the threat of vandalism should stop a statue of Margaret Thatcher from being put up."
At a briefing later, her spokesman said it was a decision for Westminster Council but added that "statues are a key part of this country's heritage" and those in Parliament Square were an "important reminder of people who've played a key role in this country's history".
The statue proposal has yet to go before a planning committee and even if it was granted permission - it would then have to get the approval of the Royal Parks, which manages the Parliament Square site.
The Royal Parks has objected to the application.
A spokesman said: "Numerous times we have requested assurances from the applicant that they have approval from the family for the statue. To date we have not had those assurances."
Lady Thatcher, who was Conservative prime minister from 1979 until 1990, died on 8 April 2013, following a stroke, at the age of 87.
The Public Memorials Appeal Trust - a charity which has raised the money to erect the statue - said it was chosen to portray the former PM in her state robes, "her most dignified attire," with "a resolute posture looking towards the Houses of Parliament, with a stern gaze slightly rightwards, akin with her political leanings".
Its preferred site for the statue and stone plinth is on the west side of Parliament Square, on Canning Green, between the existing statues of former prime minister George Canning and Abraham Lincoln - two of 11 statues in the square.
In April it was announced that the suffragist Dame Millicent Fawcett would become the first woman to be honoured with a statue in the square.
Other statues of Lady Thatcher include one by sculptor Antony Dufort, in the members' lobby of the House of Commons, unveiled in 2007, and a bronze bust in a museum in her home town of Grantham.
In 2002 a protester decapitated a £150,000 Italian marble statue of Lady Thatcher at London's Guildhall Library and the statue of another former PM, Sir Winston Churchill, has occasionally been the target of vandalism in Parliament Square, the site of many protests over the years.
Until 1815, open candles were used and ignited frequent methane explosions.
Sir Humphry Davy's invention is thought to have saved as many as 500,000 lives worldwide and is still in use today.
To mark the occasion on Sunday, Bersham Colliery in Wrexham- now a mining museum - is inviting visitors to bring their Davy Lamps and other industrial heirlooms along for identification.
Davy Lamps work by screening the flame behind a metal mesh, wide enough to let in enough oxygen for combustion, but too fine to allow the flame to flicker beyond the cage.
As well as providing light, it acted as an indicator for the presence of methane - when it would burn with a taller, bluer flame, and of a lack of oxygen, when the lamp would be extinguished.
Alan Jones, chairman of the North Wales Miners Association Trust, said: "Over the last two centuries the Davy Lamp has seen countless tweaks and improvements, like the introduction of a glass window to allow more light, but it's still the same basic principle.
"Even today men working underground will carry a Davy Lamp, because while more sophisticated electronic monitors can fail, a Davy Lamp will always work."
But the Davy Lamp was not without teething problems.
Initially its introduction to mines actually saw a rise in accidents as miners - and more importantly bosses - felt more confident in working parts of pits which had previously been no-go areas.
As Mr Jones explained, many of the early problems were not so much to do with the lamps themselves, but the way they were used.
"The earliest examples, before the glass window was introduced, emitted very little light from behind the mesh, so miners would frequently unscrew the cover to see what they were doing. Later models had a tamper-proof lock to prevent this.
"Working in damp conditions the mesh would corrode and even a very small break in the mesh could allow the flame to escape and spark an explosion."
Mr Jones said, because of subtle changes over the years, it is possibly to identify roughly where and when a Davy Lamp was made.
"We're not especially interested in valuing them, most are only worth about £50 or £60, but some of the rarest and oldest examples can sell for over £500," he added.
Another of Sir Humphry's inventions could have held the key to the illumination problems as he was also an early pioneer of electric incandescent lighting, although it would take almost another 100 years before electric lights became common in mines.
He also used electrolysis to isolate several new metals such as sodium and calcium for the first time and became an exponent of nitrous oxide or laughing gas as an anaesthetic, so much so he ended up addicted to it. | This is an interesting month in India's diplomatic diary.

UKIP's Ernie Blaber said more high-rise flats should be built and Labour's Todd Foreman said new developments should be "shared round the constituency".
Liberal Democrat Wera Hobhouse and Katy Boyce, Green, said property investors should be tackled to free up housing.
Jacob Rees-Mogg, Conservative, said the council's core strategy of building on brown field sites was "very workable".
Ms Hobhouse said capital investment needs to be "made available" for affordable housing.
"We are in a housing crisis. People who can afford it are snapping up houses and renting them out at an extortionist prices," she said.
Ms Boyce, said she wanted to "stop giving subsidies to private landlords".
She said: "What it's about is making sure that people see houses as homes and not as a way to turn a profit."
Mr Foreman said although people wanted to "preserve our green belt", more homes had to be built.
"Development has to be shared round the constituency," he said.
"Some places have been asked to take more than their share."
Mr Blaber said high-rise flats "could accommodate more people in a small area" and protect the green belt.
But Mr Rees-Mogg said the council's core strategy "allows for a lot of housing to be built on brown field sites".
"The old MoD sites in Bath and the Cadbury's factory in Keynsham will provide thousands of houses between them," he said.
The candidates for the constituency are:
Ernie Blaber, UKIP
Katy Boyce, Green
Todd Foreman, Labour

The youth-friendly OCR French, German and Spanish exams would introduce topics such as tattoos and festivals.
It would mean getting rid of vocabulary such as tank tops and pencil cases.
"Students are not really going to meet somebody in a cafe in Paris and describe their entire family," a teacher told the OCR exam board.
The exam board's draft plan for new-look GCSEs for England, submitted to exam regulator Ofqual for approval, is intended to bring a more contemporary quality to modern languages.
It wants to escape a feeling that language lessons are trapped in time by moving away from themes such as "Aurelie and Fabian go to town" or "Mathilde's school day".
Instead of "Je mange un pamplemousse tous les matins" ("I have a grapefruit every morning"), the French exam will ask pupils to discuss "A mon avis un tatouage discret est une expression de ta personnalite", which means, "In my opinion a discreet tattoo is an expression of your personality."
It follows responses from teachers who thought language lessons should be more relevant to young people and use more convincing settings.
The proposals from OCR are the latest attempt to stop language teaching from using fossilised phrases.
In the 1950s, French lessons were mocked for the repeated use of "La plume de ma tante" - the quill of my aunt - which became synonymous with pointless phrases learned by language students. It was adopted as the title of a Broadway musical.
The classic parody school books about schoolboy Nigel Molesworth, written in the 1950s by Geoffrey Willans and Ronald Searle, revelled in the boy's contempt for French lessons about "Armand and Papa" going to the zoo.
He describes the visit to the wolves - "les loups" - as a wasted opportunity.
"The loups could indubitably do a good job on Armand," wrote the fictional Molesworth.
In France, there was a corresponding stock phrase - "My tailor is rich" - which became the first English phrase taught to many French learners using a popular textbook dating back to the 1920s.
The plans for a more modern style of teaching, which would be implemented for teaching from September 2016, are also intended to tackle a major problem of recruiting young people to take modern languages.
There has been a long-term decline in the numbers of students taking modern languages at GCSE, A-level and at degree level.
There have been repeated complaints from employers and business that the lack of language skills is damaging the UK's economy.
"While language teachers are pulling their hair out as their student numbers decline with languages not prioritised by the current system, captains of industry are also deeply frustrated," said Katherine Smith, who is heading the exam board's modern languages changes.
It said it would not allow "unfair competition" to threaten Europe.
Producers of steel in the UK have laid off thousands recently and there have been warnings of more to come.
It is the latest probe into cheap imports from non-EU countries. There are nine other anti-dumping investigations already under way.
The EC said it was investigating steel products including seamless pipes, heavy plates and hot-rolled flat steel.
Europe also brought in provisional anti-dumping duties on cold-rolled flat steel from China and Russia.
Recent months have been marked by a slew of job loss announcements from the UK's remaining steel producers, most of which is foreign-owned these days.
Tata Steel last month said another 1,050 jobs would go from its UK operations, adding to the 1,200 jobs axed by the Indian-owned giant last October and the 720 jobs it cut in July.
Also in October, Thailand's SSI announced it was closing down its Redcar works with the loss of 2,200 jobs, then parts of Caparo Industries' steel operations went into administration putting 1,700 jobs potentially at risk.
Last week, the Luxembourg-based steel giant ArcelorMittal blamed China for its $8bn loss last year.
EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstroem said in a statement: "We cannot allow unfair competition from artificially cheap imports to threaten our industry. I am determined to use all means possible to ensure that our trading partners play by the rules."
The UK steel industry says it has been hit by a combination of factors: the strength of the pound, relatively high electricity prices, the extra cost of climate change policies, and competition from China - which is believed to be selling steel in the UK at unrealistically low prices.
Last month, the steel industry warned of more job losses as a result of the EU's failure to impose high import tariffs.
UK Steel said that Chinese companies have taken more than 45% of one part of the market, the UK rebar market, having had none of it four years ago.
The main maker of rebar in the UK is Celsa Steel, the Spanish-owned steelmaker, which is based in Cardiff.
Demand for steel worldwide has not returned to pre-financial crash levels. With economies - particularly China's - still seeing weak growth, global demand for steel is set to remain sluggish, falling by 1.7% in 2015 and rising by 0.7% in 2016.
A strengthening pound has been one of the factors making UK steel expensive on the international markets.
In summer 2015, sterling reached a seven-year high against a basket of currencies, after Bank of England Governor Mark Carney signalled the first rise in interest rates since the crash could sooner than expected.
At the same time, global steel prices have fallen sharply. Meanwhile, China's own economic slowdown has led Chinese producers to seek export markets as their home demand has stalled.
As a result, UK imports of Chinese steel have increased dramatically. In 2014 the UK imported 687,000 tonnes of steel from China compared to 303,000 tonnes the year before.
Short stretches of the A38 Turnpike Road near Lower Weare are due to shut for two nights from 3 March.
A diversion of one hour 20 minutes which takes drivers via Glastonbury and Wells has been criticised by residents who claim shorter routes are available.
But the county council said it has a legal obligation to divert traffic "on to the same class road as the closure".
Sections of the A38 between Cross Moor Drove and south west of Notting Hill Way are due to be closed on Thursday and Friday between 18:30 and 23:30 GMT, for road surface repair work.
Simon Lunn, who runs a petrol station on the affected stretch of road, said the planned diversion route was "utterly ridiculous"
"They're only repairing about 50m of the road - even on local roads it would take you about 10 miles to go around," he said.
"We're closing at 6 o'clock because we just won't have any trade that evening."
A spokesman for Somerset County Council said the "essential patching work" was being done in two phases and during off-peak times to "minimise disruption".
"We have a legal obligation to publish an official diversion route which is on the same class road as the closure and is suitable for all vehicles, including HGVs," he said.
"As with any road closure, drivers are free to use their own local knowledge and judgement to seek their own alternatives."
The 1974 painting, Comet (F13), is estimated to be worth A$200,000 (£117,000; $152,000).
The artwork was taken on Sunday as its owner moved house, New South Wales Police said.
McCahon, who died in 1987, produced some of New Zealand's most recognisable modernist paintings over a career spanning more than four decades.
Comet (F13), which depicts a night scene, measures approximately 1m (3ft) by 75cm.
A set of stereo speakers was also stolen.
Police have appealed for anyone with information, saying it would be treated in "the strictest of confidence".
Art consultant Stephen Nall said art theft was relatively uncommon in Australia because it was difficult to sell on the black market.
"The general rule is that you would only get about 10% of the value if you are selling a picture that is stolen," he told the BBC.
The stadium and training facilities would be built at Kingsford, close to the Aberdeen bypass, near Westhill.
Thousands of responses have already been lodged with Aberdeen City Council.
Monday is the closing date for responses to the planning application, with councillors due to rule on the plans in the summer.
The ground would have a capacity of 20,000.
The club believes the new stadium is vital if it is to achieve a sustainable future.
However, there has been opposition to the plans, with concerns including traffic and parking issues.
George Osbourne, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, is responsible for setting out how the government plans to spend its money each year in his budget.
In today's budget speech he will announce that he wants head teachers of English secondary schools to scrap traditional "home time" and decide for themselves what time the school day will end.
He's offering these schools a pot of money to help pay for additional classes or extra-curricular activities like art and sport.
Schools in other parts of the UK won't be affected.
The Chancellor says his plans will mean "every child gets the best start in life".
But some teachers say it's more complicated, and that they're already offering after school activities.
Malcolm Trobe, who is in charge of the Association of School and College Leaders, an organisation that represents head teachers across the UK, said that the money on offer wouldn't be enough to help all schools in England, and that "potentially youngsters in some schools would be in an advantageous position over others.".

The firm has pledged to send less frequent and "more relevant" messages after "many" customer complaints.
"Less is more ...we get it," Aatif Awan, senior director of product management, wrote on the firm's blog.
Instead of emailing a member each time they get a connection request, it has now started sending a weekly round-up.
And LinkedIn users who are part of groups, such as professional networks, are now being sent a weekly summary instead of individual emails for each update.
The changes will reduce the number of emails it sends members by 40%, the company said.
Mr Awan said the results so far had been "very encouraging".
"Already, members' complaints have been cut in half. And this is just the beginning," he wrote.
LinkedIn, which started out in the living room of co-founder Reid Hoffman, launched in 2003, and now has more than 350 million members.
Mainly, the site's members use it to find new jobs and make contacts for career purposes.
LinkedIn's move comes ahead of Thursday's second quarter results.
Striker Oyenuga, 20, who spent part of season 2011-12 on loan at St Johnstone, and 22-year-old defender Butcher had been on trial at the Tayside club.
Butcher has agreed a two-year deal with the Tannadice club, while Oyenuga's contract runs until May 2016.
"They are young, hungry, excellent footballers with something to prove," said United manager Jackie McNamara.
"Calum is an aggressive centre-half who is also comfortable with the ball at his feet.
"Kudus will excite our fans. He is quick, direct and always looking to score goals.
"We have now brought in eight new faces over the summer and I am excited by what we can achieve this coming season."
The pair played together last season in the Conference South for Hayes & Yeading United.
United head off on their pre-season tour to Germany and Spain this weekend.
McNamara has had a number of other players on trial, including Graham Carey, who was released by St Mirren.
"There are two areas I would like to strengthen - the centre of defence and possibly left-back, depending on how Graham Carey does," he said.
"Young Andrew Robertson has looked very good in training but he is 19 and ideally I would like two fighting for the position."
Journalist Vladimir Kara-Murza, who works for pro-democracy group Open Russia, fell ill at about 05:00 local time (02:00 GMT).
Mr Kara-Murza's wife told the BBC she was on her way to hospital where her husband is in a medically-induced coma.
The activist nearly died when he suffered sudden kidney failure in 2015.
"He is already on life support and in a medicated coma. It's the same clinical picture [as last time]," Evgenia Kara-Murza told the BBC.
"The reason is unclear like last time. He's been active and healthy [recently]."
The journalist's wife said he had suffered the same sudden onset of symptoms as in his previous illness.
"The ambulance took him directly to the hospital where the same medical team has since been trying to determine what is happening," she said.
"He was brought there conscious but was put in a medicated coma and on life support later, because his organs began shutting down like last time."
Mr Kara-Murza had spent the previous evening at the home of his parents-in-law.
On Wednesday he had posted a Facebook tribute to his friend Boris Nemtsov, an opposition leader and former deputy prime minister of Russia who was shot dead in February 2015.
Writing in Russian, he shared a photo of roses on the Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge where Mr Nemtsov was killed, and the words: "We're here. We remember."
No cause was ever established for Mr Kara-Murza's last illness, but tests confirmed that he had ingested a poisonous substance.
Then aged 33, he was in a coma for almost a week and struggled to communicate when he regained consciousness.
Fears were raised that the journalist could have been deliberately poisoned.
In 2015, the chief doctor at the Moscow hospital treating Mr Kara-Murza told the BBC that tests had revealed traces of an anti-depressant.
He speculated that the citalopram, which the activist was taking, may have accumulated in his body if he had a prior, undetected kidney problem.
It may also have reacted with an antihistamine Mr Kara-Murza used for hay fever.
His father rejected that theory, saying he did not believe an innocuous nasal spray could have triggered the "nuclear explosion" in his son's kidneys.
The prime minister said the weekly shop would increase by almost 3% - equivalent to an extra £120 a year on food and drink for the average family.
The former bosses of four major High Street retailers said Brexit would increase prices and put jobs at risk.
But the Economists for Brexit group argues that leaving the EU would boost the UK economy by 4% in 10 years.
Both sides in the EU referendum debate stepped up warnings on the core issues of the economy and immigration.

The UK's EU vote: All you need to know
Reality Check: Would Brexit push up prices?
As he sought to focus his arguments on the economy, Mr Cameron wrote in The Sun on Sunday that clothes prices would also rise by 5%.
He questioned whether such price increases would be "worth it".
Mr Cameron told ITV's Peston on Sunday that the analysis was based on a "simple and straightforward" calculation that the UK's exit from the EU would lead to a 12% fall in the value of sterling and a sharp rise in inflation.
"Today we're part of a single market of 500 million people. The Leave campaign want us to come out of that market," he said.
"If we are doing less trade, less investment, that is going affect our economy. That will make us poorer as a country. In the end, it's not surprising if your currency falls."
Former chiefs of Tesco Sir Terry Leahy, Sainsbury's Justin King, Marks & Spencer Marc Bolland and B&Q owner Kingfisher have warned that leaving the EU could have a "catastrophic" impact on Britain's economy.
In an article in the Mail on Sunday they said it would send prices in the shops higher and risk a rise in inflation, job losses and further falls in the pound.
Other EU countries could "exploit" exit negotiations for their own benefit, they added, saying: "It's difficult to imagine that French farmers will continue to allow British lamb to be freely imported."
How trade and the UK's economy are affected by membership of the EU.
However, there have been competing claims by opposing sides over what impact leaving the EU would have on the UK's economy.
A group of eight influential economists from the group Economists for Brexit previously argued that leaving the EU would boost the UK economy by 4% in 10 years, and prices in the UK would fall by 8% without EU import tariffs.
Also on Sunday, Leave campaigners warned that if Britain remained in the EU it would be vulnerable to the entry of murderers, terrorists and kidnappers from countries on the path to EU membership.
The accession of Turkey, Albania, Montenegro, Serbia and Macedonia would bring 12,726,000 guns into the single market, Vote Leave said.
The government insists that the UK and other EU members have a veto on new members joining the EU.
This issue covers immigration and free movement within Europe.
But armed forces minister Penny Mordaunt said the migrant crisis was likely to accelerate Turkey joining the EU and the referendum was the UK's "only chance" of making clear its opposition.
She told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show: "I don't think the EU is going to keep Turkey out. It is going to join. It is a matter of when.
"If you are going to pursue an expansion policy, you have to allow us the tools to protect our own interests, to protect our national security.
"That we do not have. If you are going to ever expand the EU, you have to allow us to mitigate the security risk that comes with that."
Writing in the Mail on Sunday, former Labour Chancellor Alistair Darling accused Leave campaigners of "fearmongering" over new countries joining the EU.

With just over a month to go until the 23 June referendum, a poll by Sunday newspaper The Observer and Opinium has suggested that Conservative voters are switching to the Remain camp.
According to the poll, 48% of Tory backers say they want to stay in the EU, compared with 41% who want to leave.
The first Opinium/Observer referendum poll in early April showed 44% of Conservative voters in favour of leaving against 39% who backed staying in.

Mr Arpaio, 85, was found guilty after he defied a court order to stop traffic patrols targeting suspected immigrants. He was due to be sentenced in October.
The president had hinted at the pardon at a rally in Phoenix on Tuesday.
Thanking the president, Mr Arpaio said his conviction was "a political witch hunt by holdovers in the Obama justice department".
"Thank you.... for seeing my conviction for what it is," tweeted Mr Arpaio.
"I'm not going away," he said, while declining to say whether he would run for sheriff again.
Mr Trump has frequently praised the former sheriff, who is known for his controversial hard-line stance on immigration.
Mr Arpaio appeared on the campaign trail with Mr Trump in 2016 - describing him as "the law-and-order candidate".
In a statement announcing the pardon, his first, Mr Trump said: "Arpaio's life and career, which began at the age of 18 when he enlisted in the military after the outbreak of the Korean War, exemplify selfless public service.
"Throughout his time as sheriff, Arpaio continued his life's work of protecting the public from the scourges of crime and illegal immigration.
"Sheriff Joe Arpaio is now 85 years old, and after more than 50 years of admirable service to our nation, he is a worthy candidate for a presidential pardon."
Joe Arpaio, who styled himself as "America's toughest sheriff", rose to national prominence for his sweeps of undocumented immigrants in Hispanic communities, and for detaining Spanish-speakers under suspicion of being undocumented migrants.
In July 2017, he was found guilty of violating a 2011 order to stop detaining migrants.
The decision to pardon the former policeman was condemned by Democrats and civil rights groups.
Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy said it was "disheartening that [the president] set the bar so very low for his first pardon".
Greg Stanton, the mayor of Phoenix, Arizona, called the move a slap in the face for the Latino community and those who had been victimised.

Mr Arpaio, born in Springfield, Massachusetts, could have faced six months in jail at his sentencing in October.
He served in the US military before he became a police officer - where he quickly acquired a reputation for his anti-immigration stance and tough enforcement tactics.
The former sheriff lost a bid for re-election in Arizona's Maricopa County in November 2016, after 24 years in office.
Mr Arpaio famously forced the prisoners to wear pink underwear and socks and old-fashioned black-and-white striped prison jumpsuits. The inmates lived outdoors while enduring sweltering Arizona desert temperatures.
He also revived chain gangs, including a voluntary one for female prisoners.
The company said it had emailed 794,000 people who may have been affected by the incident.
It said the data had been taken from a version of its website set up for testing purposes.
Security researchers have warned that the details could be used by criminals to try to scam those affected.
The firm said it had reported itself to the UK's Information Commissioner.
UK-based Kiddicare is a baby and child specialist that trades online and from its flagship store in Peterborough.
The company said it became aware of the data breach after customers reported suspicious text messages that had not been sent by Kiddicare.
It was then contacted by a security company with further information and was able to link the breach to a "test" website it had been using in November 2015.
"Kiddicare used real customer data on its test site," said security researcher Graham Cluley in a blogpost.
"It shouldn't be forgotten that this was a test site and things are expected to go wrong."
The company stressed that payment details such as credit card information, which can easily be changed, had not been stolen.
However, customers' names, postal addresses, email addresses and telephone numbers had been exposed and that information could be used by scammers.
Mr Cluley criticised the company for neglecting to post details of the breach prominently on its website, although they have answered some questions on the subject.
"There is currently no mention of the data breach on the Kiddicare website's homepage or on its Twitter account," he wrote.
"I'm not sure that's offering the best service for customers who, through no fault of their own, might now be at risk.
"One clear risk is that Kiddicare customers might be contacted by fraudsters pretending to be the baby specialist retailer, in an attempt to trick unsuspecting consumers into handing over payment information."
The company apologised to customers in a statement sent to the BBC.
"We are very sorry for the potential stress and anxiety this incident may have caused our customers," it said.
"We want to reassure everyone that the problem has been fixed, increased security measures have been implemented and we have a dedicated team to here to help with any further concerns."
The 46-year-old suffered abdominal wounds in the attack at the Britannia Hotel on Dialstone Lane in Offerton.
Greater Manchester Police said they were called to the hotel at about 02:20 GMT. The woman was taken to hospital.
Supt Wayne Miller said the investigation was in the "very early stages" and officers were "following a number of lines of inquiry".
He added the woman was in a "serious" condition and had suffered "potentially life-changing injuries".
The tribute to Laura Plane came after Grohl was contacted by her widower Jon, who said he "cried, danced and sang" during the performance of Everlong.
The song, Laura's favourite, was played at the couple's first dance at their wedding - and her funeral on 9 June.
The pair had hoped to enjoy their 10th wedding anniversary at the festival.
Before performing Everlong, the final song of the band's barnstorming Pyramid Stage set on Saturday, Grohl said: "I'd like to dedicate this song to someone named Laura, who couldn't be here tonight.
"But we should all dance this one for her."
Laura, a teacher from Plymouth, raised more than £30,000 for charity after being diagnosed with breast cancer eight years ago.
She dedicated her spare time to raising money and awareness about the disease, as her own diagnosis had been late.
"She put all her time in to getting that message across [of checking yourself] so nobody else was ever in that situation," Jon Plane said.
He added: "For the last eight years when Laura's been ill I've always tried to do little things to cheer her up.
"This was my one last final swansong as it were, and it worked. It's everything I ever wanted for her."
David Cameron says he hopes to govern for all of the UK after the Conservatives took 331 seats - enough to form a slender majority in the Commons.
Labour has been all but wiped out by the SNP in Scotland and suffered a disappointing set of results elsewhere, while the Lib Dems are left with just eight MPs after many party heavyweights such as Vince Cable and Danny Alexander lost their seats.
So with battles won and lost and the fall-out and celebrations beginning, BBC correspondents examine the implications and challenges that lie ahead for the new government - and for those whose political careers have been ended by voters.
No pollster, no pundit, no political leader saw it coming - not even David Cameron himself.
Governing parties don't gain seats. Parties that have implemented painful cuts and are promising more certainly don't. Until that is the Conservative Party did - achieving what had seemed to be Mission Impossible - a Tory majority.
Until that is David Cameron's personal triumph which triggered the near simultaneous resignation of his three principle opponents - Messrs Miliband, Clegg and Farage.
They did so in part because they helped to crush their partners in coalition these last five years - reducing the Liberal Democrat parliamentary party to a size when it can fit into two London taxis and still have two seats to spare.
In part because the extraordinary tidal wave of support for the SNP swept dozens of once safe Labour seats away.
In part because Nigel Farage persuaded millions to vote for him but secured just one seat - not, though, the one he was standing in.

The question uppermost in the prime minister's mind as he assembles his new government is how to keep the kingdom united.
"Above all I want to bring our country together," he revealed after the result, "to reclaim a mantle we should never have lost - the mantle of one nation, one United Kingdom".
Looking at the political landscape from Land's End today is very different to the view from John O'Groats.
A sea of Conservative and Unionist blue dominates the scene across much of England, while a field of SNP nationalist yellow stretches to the horizon and beyond from the north.
David Cameron's greatest challenge is to prevent the union he supports being torn apart by mutual resentment - resentment from Scotland at a Westminster government dominated by English Tories, and resentment from England at the preferential treatment people think is being given to the Scots.
Those who assumed the future of the Union had been safeguarded by the Scottish referendum must think again.

One thing is rock-solid true: the Conservatives who worked on this campaign are as surprised by the result as the pollsters, pundits, politicians and general population.
Maybe they shouldn't be - the economy is in good shape and the Conservatives had incumbency advantage.
But when I travelled back from the prime minister's last rally with a group of exhausted Conservative campaign officials it was clear that 290 seats was a hoped-for target.
No-one talked about anything over 300 seats, and no-one even mentioned an overall majority.
So what special sauce pushed David Cameron into No 10 with a Commons majority?
Mr Cameron had two simple messages in the campaign and he rarely veered away from them; the first - the economy is in good shape and the recovery is threatened by Labour. And the second - the SNP would hold a Labour-led government to ransom.

Of all the comments on the overnight apocalypse, undoubtedly the most straightforward came from a defeated Scottish Labour MP.
Since there were quite a few of them, let me narrow the focus a little. Come on down, Tom Harris.
Mr Harris had plainly anticipated defeat. Nonetheless, he looked suitably lugubrious as his fate was confirmed.
Why, he was asked eagerly, had Labour lost? "Because we did not win enough votes."
Psephologically, it is perfect. Complete in itself. Psychologically, it sums up Labour's gloom without descending into subsidiary matters such as leadership, strategy and the rest. As a forward-thinking strategy, it is ideal. Win more votes. Simple.

This has been an election which may have more profound consequences than almost any in living memory.
We now face a generational decision about our future in Europe, with an EU referendum in two years' time almost certain.
There will also be serious questions about the future of the Union, following an SNP landslide that has turned Scotland into a virtual one-party state.
David Cameron's victory also represents a colossal achievement.
Only once before in recent history has an incumbent government increased its majority - and that was Mrs Thatcher in her prime in the 1980s.
It is also a significant personal victory for Mr Cameron and a rebuff for those in his party who had become increasingly sceptical about his ability to win.
But while it may represent a defeat for those Tories who saw this election as a potential opportunity to rid themselves of David Cameron, he must now govern with a wafer-thin majority.
For the SNP, their stunning victory can only increase the pressure on Nicola Sturgeon to include a commitment to a second independence referendum in her party's manifesto for next year's Scottish elections.
It is an election which has not just defied all the predictions of the pollsters and pundits - but which may yet prompt the most fundamental re-casting of British politics for a generation.

After an extraordinary night, some brief conclusions:
Read more from James Landale here
Is this the end of the union?
That is the question many people will be asking this morning after the party which has fought for Scottish independence for 80 years swept to victory.
The answer from the jubilant Scottish National Party leader Nicola Sturgeon is a firm "No".
She insists that her MPs will speak for all of Scotland, not just for the 45% who voted for the country to leave the United Kingdom last September.
In the closing hours of the most extraordinary election campaign which anyone in Scotland can remember, Ms Sturgeon turned to talk of "legitimacy."
That will be her watchword in the coming days as she argues that the prime minister cannot ignore the democratic will of the Scottish people.
Politically, Scotland and England this morning look and feel like very different countries.

After weeks of chatter about an election too close to call, it wasn't that close at all.
David Cameron will be continuing as our prime minister.
So, what is all this likely to mean?
A referendum on whether the UK stays in, or leaves, the European Union, within the next two-and-a-half years.
A race to be the next leader of the Labour Party.
A race to be the next leader of the Liberal Democrats.
And a huge new presence of Scottish National Party MPs at Westminster.
And so here's another thing we know for certain this morning: Politics ain't going to be boring any time soon.

For Labour the story of their terrible night is rapidly turning into the search for a new leader. So who will that be?
Andy Burnham, the shadow health secretary, is almost certain to run.
Even before this election, both he and another almost inevitable candidate, Chuka Umunna, had raised eyebrows inside the party at the work they had put in, preparing the ground with members and the unions for potential bids.
Yvette Cooper, before the election, was still thought not to have made up her mind over whether to run. That decision has been made perhaps a little easier as her husband, Ed Balls, has lost his seat.
She is certainly potentially in the frame, along with two lesser known names - Liz Kendall and Dan Jarvis - two MPs who were only elected in 2010 for the first time.
This could be their moment. But whoever is in the job, they face a monumental task.

Sterling is up (the most for seven years against the euro), share prices are up (especially bank shares like Lloyds and RBS, and energy shares such as Centrica), government bond prices are up.
To state the obvious, investors love the Tories' general election victory.
There are a few reasons.
One (no surprise here) is that Labour's threat of breaking up banks and imposing energy price caps has been lifted.
Second is that investors have been discounting days and weeks of wrangling after polling day over who would form the government - and so they are semi-euphoric that we already know who's in charge.
Third, many investors tend to be economically conservative and instinctively Conservative.
But although the City may be a bit drunk on the result, its pleasure in Ed Miliband's and Ed Balls' humiliation may be making it a bit blind - perhaps dangerously so - to some bumps in the economic road ahead.

Nigel Farage dreamed of holding the balance of power, but in the end his UKIP party is now worse off than when it came into the election.
At the seventh time of asking he was rejected - this time by the people of Thanet South. It was a similar story in Rochester and Strood where Mark Reckless, who sensationally defected from the Tories last year, was also sent packing.
In seats on UKIP's target list, like Thurrock in Essex, the party failed to make gains. In Grimsby - where Mr Farage went twice in the last six weeks - they came third.
UKIP got around four million votes - with especially strong showings in north-east and south-east England - but it's ended up with just one MP, and a vacancy at the top. This has led to UKIP attacking the current system of choosing MPs, which it's described as "busted" and "dysfunctional".
In one sense, this campaign was a complete failure and it's left an aftermath of angry voters, and others wondering if the UKIP bubble has burst.

I monitored 91 GB-wide voting intention polls during the 2015 election campaign and found nothing in them to prepare me for the final outcome.
The good news for the pollsters was that their share for the Lib Dems was pretty close, as were the shares for UKIP, the Greens and the catch-all category of Others.
The bad news for the polling industry was that the crucial shares for Conservative and Labour were the ones where they came most adrift.
When all the qualifications of margins of error are allowed, there did appear to be a systematic overstatement of the Labour share and an equally systematic understatement of the Conservative one.
It is for the pollsters to decide whether to conduct a review of their performance but I trust they will avoid the initial knee-jerk reaction of the immediate aftermath of the 1992 polls debacle.
This general election performance follows the performance of the polls in the 2014 Scottish referendum where the choice was simply binary and yet all the polls were out by between 4-6%.
Something is wrong. A lot of us would like to know what it is.

The words "political earthquake" have been translated into numerous European languages, making front page news across the continent.
While Britons now examine the domestic minutiae of the election result, here in mainland Europe the vote means one thing: a referendum on Britain's membership of the EU. And that has the potential to create an earthquake of its own.
The guardian of the EU treaties Mr Cameron wants to change - Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker - has said again he'd listen to what Britain's new government proposed.

The 23-year-old centre-back joins the U's after leading Argyle to the League Two play-off final last season.
Nelson turned down a deal to stay at the Devon club after his previous contract had expired and had been the subject of a bid from Barnsley.
"It's a step up in league from last season and Oxford is a huge club," he told BBC Radio Oxford.
Nelson spent seven years at Stoke's academy, finishing his scholarship at Argyle before going on to make more than 200 senior appearances for Plymouth.
"I can't wait to get started at Oxford and I'm looking forward to it," he added. "You've got to pay credit to the manager for what he did last season as they did the job going up automatically.
"They played some really good football and were a difficult team to play against and hopefully it will be the same again next season."
Argyle will be entitled to compensation from the deal, which will be set at a tribunal as Nelson is under 24 and came through the club's academy.

The defending champions led 40-31 going into the final quarter of their semi-final in Koblenz, Germany, and extended their advantage to win 54-41.
They will play Sweden, who won possession and scored a winner in the closing seconds to beat Denmark 57-56.
Saturday's match (15:00 BST) is a repeat of the 2015 final, which Britain won 49-48.
The two nations are the most decorated in European Championship history, with four wins apiece.
Along with the beaten semi-finalists, the teams have secured places in next year's World Championships in Sydney, Australia.
The pair are competing for the wing spot vacated by Elliot Daly, who has been banned for three weeks.
Yarde is thought to be the favourite to replace Daly, while Nathan Hughes is the likely option at number eight with Billy Vunipola injured.
Head coach Eddie Jones will name his matchday squad of 23 on Thursday.
Daly was banned after being sent off in last weekend's victory over Argentina.
Hughes spent much of Tuesday's training session in England's first-choice back row, alongside Chris Robshaw and Tom Wood.
The Fiji-born Wasps forward has won two caps this autumn as a replacement, but has yet to make a first international start.
Elsewhere in the back row, Teimana Harrison has also been retained, but Jack Clifford has returned to Harlequins.
Yarde started on the wing against South Africa, but has not featured since, while Rokoduguni made a try-scoring return to Test rugby against Fiji, before being dropped from the squad to face the Pumas.
Regular full-back Mike Brown and prop Joe Marler both missed training on Tuesday, but neither have a serious injury.
Forwards: Dave Attwood (Bath Rugby), Dan Cole (Leicester Tigers), Charlie Ewels (Bath Rugby), Jamie George (Saracens), Teimana Harrison (Northampton Saints), Dylan Hartley (Northampton Saints), Nathan Hughes (Wasps), George Kruis (Saracens), Courtney Lawes (Northampton Saints), Joe Marler (Harlequins), Chris Robshaw (Harlequins), Kyle Sinckler (Harlequins), Mako Vunipola (Saracens), Tom Wood (Northampton Saints).
Backs: Mike Brown (Harlequins), Danny Care (Harlequins), Owen Farrell (Saracens), George Ford (Bath Rugby), Jonathan Joseph (Bath Rugby), Jonny May (Gloucester Rugby), Semesa Rokoduguni (Bath Rugby), Henry Slade (Exeter Chiefs), Ben Te'o (Worcester Warriors), Marland Yarde (Harlequins), Ben Youngs (Leicester Tigers).
Officers are investigating the "suspicious" death of Ethel Joyce Baldwin, at Abbey House Care Home, in Netley Abbey, Hampshire.
The 36-year-old arrested woman has been bailed until 2 December.
Hampshire police said they were working to ensure vulnerable residents and families were being supported.
A post-mortem examination was held earlier this week.
A spokesman for the care home said staff notified police and the safeguarding authority when they became aware Ms Baldwin "may have been assaulted" on 29 August.
The home said she died in hospital on 13 September.
Staff described Ms Baldwin, who was known by her middle name of Joyce, and admitted to the home about two years ago for palliative care, as "much loved" and "a pleasure to look after".
Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey and West Ham defender James Collins are also absent from Chris Coleman's squad.
Coleman said Bale's absence was a joint decision between the Football Association of Wales and Real Madrid.
Wales host Northern Ireland in Cardiff on 24 March before travelling to Ukraine four days later.
Bale was also absent from the Wales squad that lost to the Netherlands in November, following correspondence with Madrid.
His availability for March was thought to depend on the impending birth of his second child.
Midfielder Andy King is also absent after missing Leicester City's win over Newcastle on Monday because of illness.
But Tottenham Hotspur defender Ben Davies is included despite suffering a head injury in Thursday's Europa League loss to Borussia Dortmund.
Fulham defender Jazz Richards comes into the squad in place of Newcastle's Paul Dummett, who picked up a hamstring problem in January.
Richards' Fulham team-mate George Williams also comes into midfield in the absence of King and Wolves' David Edwards - who required surgery on a foot injury.
The other changes from Coleman's 24-man squad in November see Southampton's Lloyd Isgrove, Brighton's Andrew Crofts, Reading's Hal Robson-Kanu and Birmingham City's David Cotterill all recalled to a now-26-man squad.
Coleman on Bale: "It was a joint decision. Real Madrid have been absolutely first class all the way along.
"They have never ever put an obstacles in our way, so equally we have to recognise that, if you look at the last couple of months, they have been tough for Gareth fitness-wise.
"And looking at the bigger picture it is all about the summer, making sure we have our strongest squad going into the tournament and, of course, he is part of that.
"So at this moment in time it suits both parties that he does not come. It is not just the games, it will be the travelling as well."
"Both parties feel it is right he stays where he is, works there, gets treatment, does everything he needs to do there. I think he will benefit from that between now and the end of the season."
Coleman on the relationship with Real Madrid: "We have worked as hard with Real Madrid as with any other club. Internationals do not belong to us. I have said that before.
"We have to make sure we look after them when we get them and we treat them properly because if you do not, you gamble with their fitness and down the line you are going to be punished for that.
"You cannot blame clubs for reacting if their player has been pushed too much and you have gambled with him if he is carrying an injury, he goes back to his club and he can't play for three or four weeks.
"We have never ever done that. We have never gambled.
"But to be fair to Madrid, myself and Osian Roberts, we went out there spent a few days there. I think they appreciated that. We certainly did."
Goalkeepers: Hennessey, Ward, Fon Williams.
Defenders: A Williams (c), Chester, Davies, Gunter, Matthews, Taylor, Henley, Richards.
Midfielders: Ledley, Allen, Vaughan, Huws, J Williams, MacDonald, G Williams, Isgrove, Crofts.
Forwards: Cotterill, Robson-Kanu, Lawrence, Church, Vokes, Bradshaw.
Camila Batmanghelidjh said she gave "robust" arguments for her charity, which she expected to be scrutinised.
Speaking two weeks after MPs found the charity had shut due to a "catalogue of failures", she said she had been a victim of racism and media attacks.
The PM has said it was right to give the charity "every chance" to survive.
Kids Company, which supported deprived and vulnerable inner-city children and young people in London, Liverpool and Bristol, closed last August.
The report by the Commons Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee (PACAC) laid heavy criticism on Ms Batmanghelidjh and the charity's trustees for "negligent financial mismanagement", "lavish spending", and failing to give robust evidence of its outcomes.
It also rebuked successive ministers for appearing to release public money to Kids Company "on the basis of little more than their relationship with a charismatic leader, small-scale studies and anecdotes".
Ms Batmanghelidjh "appeared to captivate some of the most senior political figures in the land, by the force of the chief executive's personality", the report added.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour programme, Ms Batmanghelidjh said: "I think that it's sad that people think in this day and age that you can mesmerise people.
"I present arguments that I hope are robust, and people that I deal with I hope have the intelligence to scrutinise my arguments and make their own decisions.
"I would put the question to you another way - if I was capable of mesmerising the prime minister of this country, who have you voted for? Because that would be very dangerous."
In a wide-ranging interview, she also:
Among the government grants called into question by the Commons report was a £3m payment to Kids Company just days before it collapsed.
Conservative minister Oliver Letwin, who overruled civil service objections to the grant, has said he believed it was "the right thing to do to give this charity one last chance to restructure".
At the time, Mr Cameron also said he believed it was right to give the charity a final chance to restructure and to "continue its excellent work".
June 2015: Concerns raised by the Cabinet Office about Kids Company's request for a £3m government grant, but ministers approve the funding
July 2015: Ms Batmanghelidjh steps down, denying the charity has been mismanaged. The Met Police launches an investigation into allegations of failings and abuse linked to the charity.
August 2015: Ministers say they want to recover the government grant. The charity closes. Ms Batmanghelidjh tells the BBC that Kids Company was subjected to a "trial by media"
October 2015: Ms Batmanghelidjh and Kids Company chairman Alan Yentob (at the time also a BBC executive) appear before the Commons Public Administration Committee and again deny the charity was badly run. The National Audit Office says the charity received at least £46m of public money despite repeated concerns over its management
January 2016: The Met Police says it has concluded its investigation into allegations against the charity, and concluded there is no evidence of criminality
What went wrong?
The government has said it will review its grant-giving process in light of the committee's findings.
Last month, the Metropolitan Police announced that it had found no evidence of criminality after investigating allegations of physical and sexual abuse at the charity. Kids Company had always denied the claims.
Ms Batmanghelidjh defended the safeguarding procedures at the charity, saying they were far more rigorous than other organisations.
The full interview will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour programme on Friday, 12 February at 10:00 GMT.
MSP Graeme Pearson said the Scottish Police Authority (SPA) Forensic Services currently have 2,500 unsolved drugs cases.
Mr Pearson, the former director general of the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency, said it could take a year to clear the backlog.
A Scottish government spokeswoman said the claims were "misleading".
Mr Pearson, Scottish Labour's justice spokesman, said: "People need to know the police will be there when they call and that cases will be dealt with swiftly."
He said the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) police support staff working in forensic services had fallen by nearly 50 (almost 10%) since 2011, while the budget had been cut by more than £350,000 since 2007.
"Scottish Labour want to reform the system so that the needs of the victims are put first. An investigation dragging on can only add to a victim's anxiety" he said.
"The SNP say we should judge them on their record. Their record on forensics is one of staffing cuts and stalled cases."
But the Scottish government said drugs cases were being dealt with efficiently, making maximum use of Scotland's world-class forensic services.
A government spokeswoman said: "The SPA works closely with Police Scotland, the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service to manage the testing of drugs and prioritise cases appropriately.
"We have invested £73m to create the Scottish Crime Campus at Gartcosh and Scotland now has one of the leading DNA facilities in Europe as a direct result of that investment."
The SPA said the demand for forensic science drugs services was increasing with a growing complexity on analysis with the rise of psychoactive substances otherwise known as "legal highs".
A spokesman for the SPA said legal highs accounted for 10% of drugs submitted for testing compared with only 1% just a few years ago.
"The Scottish Police Authority has to work within the public spending challenges all public bodies face but the revenue budget for forensics in 2015-16 has seen a slight increase this year" he said.
The woman's body was found in a house in Mill Green, Wolverhampton, in the early hours of Thursday.
Her husband was found dead a short time later after "a single car collision" in Dover, West Midlands Police said.
Police are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths of the couple, who were both in their 60s.
Det Insp Warren Hines said post-mortem examinations will take place in due course.
Ryan Inniss, 21, who is on a season-long loan at Southend United from Crystal Palace, was jailed for 14 weeks after he admitted assault.
It meant he was in HMP Belmarsh when his League One club faced Scunthorpe away on Saturday.
A judge has now suspended the sentence for 18 months.
Inniss, of Albemarle Road, Beckenham, south-east London, was jailed at Bexley Magistrates' Court on Wednesday following the assault at Time nightclub in Beckenham on 1 May.
Judge Adam Hiddleston, who heard the appeal at Croydon Crown Court, ordered Inniss complete 240 hours community service and banned him from entering licensed premises - except for work or buying food - for a year.
He must also complete an alcohol treatment requirement and comply with the magistrates' order to pay ??300 to his victim.
Defender Inniss has never made a first-team appearance for Crystal Palace and has had loan spells at Cheltenham Town, Luton Town, Gillingham, Yeovil Town and Port Vale.
He signed with Southend United last month.
Applause rang out at the hearing when the decision was made to keep 76-year-old Thomas Edwin Blanton Jr in jail.
Blanton was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2001.
He was part of a group that blew up a Baptist church in Birmingham, killing an 11 year old and three 14 year-olds.
His former prosecutor said he had never expressed remorse.
Eyewitnesses talk about the Birmingham church bombing
Two other men convicted of the bombing have since died in prison.
The group bombed the 16th Avenue Baptist church, which was being used as a meeting place by black civil rights leaders, in an attempt to maintain racial separation in the southern states of the US.
Public schools in the city were facing an order to desegregate - to educate black and white children together - at the time.
The deaths of Denise McNair, Addie Mae Collins, Carole Robertson and Cynthia Morris (also known as Cynthia Wesley) were a defining moment in the civil rights era.
Blanton can be considered for parole again in five years' time.
Black leaders in the US have opposed his release, and members of the victims' families spoke at the hearing to argue that he should stay behind bars.
Tunisia's prime minister, diplomats, Tunisians and tourists gathered on the beach to pay their respects.
A one-minute silence was held simultaneously in Sousse and across the UK, home to 30 of those killed.
Authorities say they have uncovered the network behind the attack and are holding eight suspects.
Security has been stepped up at the beach and many people are still devastated by what happened a week ago, says the BBC's Ben Brown in Sousse.
Hotels and beaches are empty as thousands of tourists have already left the country following the attack, he says.
The Tunisian Prime Minister Habib Essid and the British ambassador Hamish Cowell laid wreaths on the beach.
The Tunis government fears the attack, which jihadist group Islamic State (IS) has claimed, will destroy its tourism industry, the country's biggest foreign currency earner.
Authorities have identified 28-year-old student Seifeddine Rezgui as the gunman who carried out the attack.
They have also deployed 1,377 armed security agents at hotels and on beaches to guarantee the safety of people, AFP reports.
In March, IS killed 22 people at the famous Bardo museum in Tunisia's capital, Tunis.
At the scene: Thomas Fessy, BBC News, Sousse
The Tunisian prime minister and several government ministers came, along with ambassadors from the UK, the US, France, Portugal, Ireland and the Netherlands.
Representatives from Belgium, Canada and Libya also attended the brief commemorative gathering.
They all arrived in silence, lay wreaths of flowers in front of the plaque erected at the scene of the attack, before two trumpets gave a solemn salute.
Dozens of tourists had come to pay their respects too. Most of them attended in their swimsuits and beach towels wrapped around their waist.
The smell of sun cream floating around was a strange reminder of the 38 people who were killed here, most of them lying on sun beds, enjoying some relaxing holiday time.
Dignitaries left without a word while tourists and Tunisians - some of whom were hotel staff - formed a human chain holding hands around the flowers that were laid in the sand throughout the morning.
Former world champion Amy Marren, 17, achieved the time in the SM9 200m medley.
Matt Wylie, 19, and Ryan Crouch, 22, met the S9 50m freestyle standard.

Joy Milne's husband, Les, died in June, aged 65.
He worked as a consultant anaesthetist before being diagnosed with Parkinson's at the age of 45.
One in 500 people in the UK has Parkinson's - that is 127,000 across Britain.
It can leave people struggling to walk, speak and sleep. There is no cure and no definitive diagnostic test.
Joy noticed something had changed with her husband long before he was diagnosed - six years before.
She says: "His smell changed and it seemed difficult to describe. It wasn't all of a sudden. It was very subtle - a musky smell.
"I got an occasional smell."
Joy only linked this odour to Parkinson's after joining the charity Parkinson's UK and meeting people with the same distinct odour.
By complete chance she mentioned this to scientists at a talk. They were intrigued.
Edinburgh University decided to test her - and she was very accurate.
Dr Tilo Kunath, a Parkinson's UK fellow at the school of biological sciences at Edinburgh University, was one of the first scientists Joy spoke to.
He says: "The first time we tested Joy we recruited six people with Parkinson's and six without.
"We had them wear a t-shirt for a day then retrieved the t-shirts, bagged them and coded them.
"Her job was to tell us who had Parkinson's and who didn't.
"Her accuracy was 11 out of 12. We were quite impressed."
Dr Kunath adds: "She got the six Parkinson's but then she was adamant one of the 'control' subjects had Parkinson's.
"But he was in our control group so he didn't have Parkinson's.
"According to him and according to us as well he didn't have Parkinson's.
"But eight months later he informed me that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's.
"So Joy wasn't correct for 11 out of 12, she was actually 12 out of 12 correct at that time.
"That really impressed us and we had to dig further into this phenomenon."
And that is exactly what they are doing.
Scientists believe that changes in the skin of people with early Parkinson's produces a particular odour linked to the condition.
They hope to find the molecular signature responsible for the odour and then develop a simple test such as wiping a person's forehead with a swab.
The charity Parkinson's UK is now funding researchers at Manchester, Edinburgh and London to study about 200 people with and without Parkinson's.
A simple test for Parkinson's could be life-changing, according to Katherine Crawford, the Scotland director of Parkinson's UK.
"This study is potentially transformational for the lives of people living with Parkinson's," she says.
"Parkinson's is an incredibly difficult disease to diagnose.
"We still effectively diagnose it today the way that Dr James Parkinson diagnosed it in 1817, which is by observing people and their symptoms.
"A diagnostic test like this could cut through so much of that, enable people to go in and see a consultant, have a simple swab test and come out with a clear diagnosis of Parkinson's.
"It would be absolutely incredible and life-changing for them immediately."
Ms Crawford adds: "They and their professional colleagues would be able to discuss and arrange a treatment programme, be able to monitor the progression of the disease and treat it appropriately as it went on and it would potentially offer more opportunities for people living with Parkinson's to get involved in research."
It might have been an accidental discovery but Joy hopes it will make a real difference to people starting out on their own journey with Parkinson's.
Kyles completed their 2-0 defeat of Oban Camanachd in the first quarter of the game while it was well into extra-time before Newtonmore first found the net in their 3-0 victory over Lovat.
Kinlochshiel went top of the Marine Harvest Premiership with a 3-0 win at Kilmallie and Kingussie also leapfrogged previous leaders Kyles with victory by the same score at home to Glasgow Mid Argyll.
Lochaber cashed in on the defeats of Mid Argyll and Kilmallie to overtake them both from the bottom with a 3-1 home success over Glenurquhart.
In the MacAulay Cup South semi-final in Oban, Colin MacDonald opened the scoring after just three minutes and on 23 added a second to effectively seal the tie.
It was totally different in the North tie at Beauly where 90 minutes came and went goalless and it was midway through the first period of extra-time before Jamie Robinson eventually got the breakthrough for Newtonmore. Robinson then broke Lovat's hearts with a second just before the turnaround and Michael Russell put the tie to bed with 10 minutes of play remaining.
Newtonmore now go into the final at Oban's Mossfield Park on 19 August having recorded comfortable back-to-back league and Camanachd Cup wins over their opponents from Tighnabruaich.
In the Premiership, Scott MacLean opened for Kinlochshiel late in the first half and Duncan MacRae made it 2-0 early in the second. A Keith MacRae penalty then confirmed the victory that put Shiel top of the table with 19 points from 11 games, with Kyles on 17 from 10.
Splitting these two on 18 points but from 14 outings are Kingussie. Ruaridh Anderson sent them well on their way to victory at the Dell over Glasgow Mid Argyll with a quick-fire double early in the second half and Lee Bain netted late on.
Meanwhile, Shaun Nicholson sent Lochaber on their way to victory. James MacPherson equalised for Glenurquhart just after the hour but Stuart Callison responded instantly before Ryan Johnstone confirmed Lochaber's winning cushion.
These results leave Kilmallie, who have a slightly inferior goal difference, and Mid Argyll still on five points at the bottom, now two behind Lochaber but with two and three games in hand respectively. The bottom side is relegated while second bottom play off against the National Division runners-up.
In the second tier, Caberfeidh and Skye put themselves in pole position for those promotion places. Cabers gained revenge for the previous Saturday's Balliemore Cup final defeat by Fort William with a 1-0 home win over the same opponents. Meanwhile, Skye are also undefeated - a point adrift but with a game in hand - after their 4-0 win at Inveraray.
Oban Celtic beat Strathglass 2-1 at Cannich in the other National Division game.
The Oxford University research stresses the importance of a man's attitude to fatherhood soon after birth.
This can influence later behaviour more than undertaking childcare and chores.
The study assessed if fathers were confident with their child, formed a strong bond and felt closer to their partner as a result of parenthood.
Writing in the journal BMJ Open, the researchers concluded: "The findings of this research study suggest that it is psychological and emotional aspects of paternal involvement in a child's infancy that are most powerful in influencing later child behaviour and not the amount of time that fathers are engaged in childcare or domestic tasks in the household.
"How new fathers see themselves as parents, how they value their role as a parent and how they adjust to this new role, rather than the amount of direct involvement in childcare in this period, appears to be associated with positive behavioural outcomes in children."

The data for the research was taken from a long-running programme in the south-west of England - the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children.
The parents of 10,440 children, who were living with both their mother and father at the age of eight months, were asked to complete a questionnaire about their and their child's mental health.
They were also asked about issues such as attitudes to parenting, time spent on childcare, child behaviour and development.
Information was also available on more than 6,000 children when they were aged nine and 11.
The results showed that fathers who scored well on having an emotional response to their child and feeling secure in their role as a parent had children who were up to 28% less likely to suffer behavioural problems in their pre-teen years than fathers who scored lower.
The researchers said: "Positive parenting by fathers may contribute to good outcomes in children in a number of ways.
"Involved fathers may influence children indirectly by being a source of instrumental and emotional support to mothers who provide more of the direct care for children.
"The potential positive effect of this on mothers' wellbeing and parenting strategies may then lead to better outcomes in children.
"There is evidence that fathers' involvement can also alleviate the impact of factors such as maternal depression, which are known to increase children's risk of behavioural problems.
"Greater paternal involvement may also lead to, or be a manifestation of, a happy and cohesive family, and this may bring about better outcomes in children." | A lot more homes are needed in North East Somerset to meet demand, general election candidates have said.

Tamir Rice, whom the officers appeared to believe was much older, was shot twice and later died in hospital.
Cleveland police has released audio recordings and video of the incident.
His family has released a statement appealing for calm and thanked the police for releasing CCTV footage of events leading up to the shooting.
The CCTV video shows Tamir Rice pointing the toy gun at a passer-by from the playground where he was shot, which prompted a 911 emergency call.
Recordings of radio communications reveal a police officer at the scene describing Tamir Rice as aged "maybe 20" after the shooting.
A separate recording appears to confirm the officers were not told the gun might be fake.
The family of Tamir Rice said that they believed that their son's death could have been avoided.
In a statement, the family said: "The video shows one thing distinctly: the police officers reacted quickly."
They called for a thorough investigation of events and asked people in their community to remain calm and "protest peacefully and responsibly".
Cleveland police said on Wednesday that the family had given permission for CCTV recordings of the shooting to be released.
The footage shows Tamir Rice walking around a playground with a replica gun clearly in his hand.
Minutes later, a police car drives up and stops immediately next to him.
Chief officer Edward Tomba said that the car door was open when the officers arrived, and that they had ordered the 12-year-old to show his hands three times as the car pulled up alongside.
The boy was then shot and fatally wounded.
In a recording immediately after the incident, a police officer is heard saying: "Shots fired, male down, black male, maybe 20."
A recording of the call from the operator to police officers as they were dispatched to the scene appears to confirm that there was no mention of a replica gun.
The operator describes the incident as "a black male sitting on the swings, keeps pulling a gun out of his pants and pointing it at people".
An audio recording of the 911 emergency call had previously revealed that the caller had said the gun was "probably a fake" on two occasions, before adding he was not sure whether it was "real or not".
They were ordered down by a Belfast court on Friday, after they carried death threats against a Catholic man.
His lawyer had been critical of the length of time it took the social media giant to act.
He had threatened to take further legal action if they were not removed by 09:00 GMT on Tuesday.
The sites were Loyalists against Short Strand and Loyalist Peaceful Protests Updater.
The sites had provided information about street protests being held in Northern Ireland.
They have been ongoing since a decision was taken by councillors on 3 December to limit the number of days the union flag flies at Belfast City Hall.
In his ruling at Belfast High Court, the judge ordered that the man's picture and details about him should be prevented from appearing on any other web pages controlled by Facebook.
The flag dispute is now in its seventh week.
Some of the protests have been followed by rioting in which more than 100 police officers have been injured.
"I told Carlos Slim that he should clean both of his rear mirrors, because I would not warn him on which side I was going to overtake him," he told the BBC then, with a grin.
He was the eighth richest man in the world according to Forbes. His business empire spanned oil, energy, ports and mining. It was growing fast, like the Brazilian economy at the time, with the arrival of the big demand for commodities from China.
Now things have dramatically changed for Mr Batista.
His EBX Group is highly in debt, the markets seem to have turned on him and his personal fortune has suffered a dramatic drop, going from $34bn to $2.9bn in just over a year.
Analysts believe his vast ambition may have been his undoing.
Mr Batista, the son of a former energy minister, became a millionaire at a very young age. He had returned to Brazil in the early 1980s after dropping out of a university in Germany, and started a business buying gold from suppliers in the Amazon and selling it to shopkeepers in Rio de Janeiro.
He went on to buy gold mines in Brazil and Canada and a silver mine in Chile, and soon became famous for his flamboyant lifestyle. He was fond of speed boats and married a former Playboy model.
The transition from millionaire to billionaire happened in 2001, when he formed the EBX group out of six companies, mostly in the energy and maritime sectors. His firms benefited from China's enormous appetite for commodities.
Mr Batista's charisma, which he says was honed by his experience as an insurance policy salesman in his youth, was thought to be crucial in his companies' ability to attract investment.
"He fulfils the stereotype of a salesman when trying to get his projects financed and when it comes to attracting investors," says Sergio Lazzarini of the INSPER Business School in Sao Paulo.
In recent years Mr Batista became a key figure in Brazilian public life. His companies won huge public investment to carry out infrastructure projects.
No other city in Brazil felt Mr Batista's influence more than Rio de Janeiro. He carried out refurbishments on many landmarks in the city, and recently won a bid for the administration of the iconic Maracana stadium, where the 2014 World Cup final will be held.
But Brazil's economy has cooled in recent years, and foreign demand for commodities has dropped off.
Investors became edgy last June when his oil company OGX announced that production had fallen below expected levels. OGX recently went on to say that it may now stop its activities in the Tubarao Azul oil field by 2014.
The firm, which was once seen as the jewel in the crown of his empire, lost 90% of its value in a year.
Mr Batista's business model "was exaggerated in every sense", says Mr Lazzarini. He says the firms built optimistic targets on unrealistic estimates.
"Businessmen tend to be optimistic by definition, but there was too much of that in this case," he says.
"It became very difficult for him to keep focus on several business areas."
EBX Group's shares have lost $60bn in value since peaking last year.
And market confidence was shaken even further last week when Mr Batista stepped down as head of the board of his energy company MPX, which is still seen as the best placed amid the current uncertainty.
Media reports suggest that MPX could be sold to raise money to pay off debts from other companies in the group, meaning he could lose control of the companies he founded.
Although he has even had to sell his plane, an Embraer Legacy, for $14m, Mr Batista remains defiant that he is capable of getting his business back on track.
How Mr Batista is dealing with his apparent failure to become richest man on Earth remains a mystery.
When asked about the issue, his son, Olin, a 17-year-old DJ, replied: "My father is sad seeing how the value of his shares is plummeting."
A woman was beaten up - this is the price Angolans pay for dissent.
Mr Marques might pay a far higher price for criticising seven army generals, whom he has accused of complicity in killings, torture and corruption in Angola's diamond fields.
They, in turn, have accused him of criminal defamation and are suing him for $1.2m (£800,000).
If found guilty, Mr Marques could go to prison for nine years.
For the generals, $1.2m is peanuts. They are part of Angola's tiny elite, which revolves around the 72-year-old president, Jose Eduardo dos Santos, and which has become rich on the country's oil and diamond wealth.
Since four decades of conflict ended in 2002, Angola's economy has skyrocketed, albeit from a low base.
According to the auditors Ernst and Young, it was the world's fastest growing economy from 2000-10.
But wealth and power have stayed largely in the hands of a very few families, who come closer that anything else I have seen on the continent to an African nobility.
The book that has landed Mr Marques in so much trouble, Blood Diamonds: Corruption and Torture in Angola, alleges the army and private security companies have been involved in burying miners alive, executing them en masse, and forcing them to leap to their deaths from speeding vehicles.
Mr Marques says the miners were made to jump off at intervals "so as to scatter the evidence of their deaths".
The generals deny these allegations.
Blood Diamonds shows how blurred the lines are between business, politics and violence.
It alleges members of the president's inner circle occupy several positions at once, serving simultaneously as top officials in the military, shareholders in diamond mining companies, and co-owners of the private security firms hired by the mining companies to secure the diamond fields.
The Angolan elite lives in a world almost entirely disconnected from the rest of the country's population of 20 million.
Its playground is the Ilha, a stretch of sand that curves out from Luanda, dotted with luxury villas, beachside restaurants and glitzy nightclubs.
The rich and the beautiful sip $60 cocktails, as gleaming Porsches purr past, the wrists of their drivers heavy with Rolex watches.
Prices are astronomical. It is as if they have been set deliberately high to enable people to show off just how wealthy they are.
Why else would supermarkets charge up to $100 for a watermelon, $200 for a chicken?
Looking out at Luanda from the Ilha, it is hard to believe this is the capital of a country that a little more than 10 years ago was fighting a vicious civil war.
Shiny white super-yachts luxuriate in the blue of the sea.
A swarm of new skyscrapers lines the horizon. One of the multi-million-dollar penthouse apartments has a helicopter landing pad.
It is here one starts to hear whispers of the name "Isabel": "This nightclub belongs to Isabel," "This is Isabel's restaurant," "That business is Isabel's, so is that one, that one, and that one."
Isabel is the eldest daughter of President Dos Santos.
Worth an estimated $3.4bn, she has been described by Forbes magazine as Africa's richest woman.
Meanwhile, an estimated 70% of Angola's population survives on less than $2 a day - 90% of Luanda's population lives in slums.
A great deal of energy is spent trying to remove the poor from the sight of Angola's hyper-rich. Their shacks are bulldozed regularly.
The Chinese have built for them a new satellite city called Zango, dozens of kilometres from Luanda.
Its multicoloured tower blocks rise up from the scrubland, as if it had been dropped from outer space.
It is the urban poor that most worries the Angolan elite.
The security forces have moved swiftly to crush a growing number of small anti-government protests.
I met slum-dweller Mbanza Hamza, who has chosen to stand up to the authorities.
He has a large dent in his skull to show for it.
"Men came in the night and beat me with clubs," he says. "They wore plain clothes but I know who sent them."
Money is the most effective tool for dealing with resistance. The government makes sure local beer stays cheap - it costs less than $1 a bottle.
It sponsors football clubs and pop concerts, and encourages churches; anything to distract the poor.
Free drinks and T-shirts were enough to make sure that, on the eve of an opposition protest, a huge "pro-government" march was held.

$32 billion went missing from Angola's oil accounts between 2007 and 2010 (IMF).
98% of bridges (more than 300), 80% of factories and schools, 60% of hospitals and most of roads destroyed in civil war (Economist Intelligence Unit).
63.7% of Angola's population is under 25 years old (Unicef).
Is Angola a ticking time-bomb waiting to explode?
The government can no longer use the war as an excuse not to do more about health, education and the redistribution of wealth.
It has brought in the Chinese to build roads and railways, but the population is starting to expect more than infrastructure and peace.
It is unlikely cases such as that of Mr Marques will lead to significant international pressure on Angola to do more about human rights and corruption.
During his 35 years in power, President Dos Santos has developed remarkable cunning in playing off one foreign power against the other, just like he does in domestic politics.
But the president is not immortal.
The question is whether his, as yet unappointed, successor will have the skills to keep money and power "in the family", while using fear and temptation to defuse the frustrations of the poor.
The new deal will keep the 25-year-old at the Kingspan Stadium until at least the summer of 2019.
It is believed Jackson turned down offers from other clubs, with Northampton and Bristol understood to have made advances.
Jackson has become Ireland's main understudy to first-choice fly-half Johnny Sexton.
The Belfast man started Ireland's first two matches in this year's Six Nations when Sexton was out injured.
Sexton returned for Saturday's win over France, with Jackson coming on as a late replacement.
Jackson made his Ulster debut in February 2011 and has scored 831 points in 118 matches.
He has played 22 times for Ireland since his international debut against Scotland in 2013.
"I believe that the pillars for success are in place here at Ulster with a quality squad and management team," said Jackson.
"I am hugely excited by the challenges that lie ahead and I'd like to thank everyone who has helped me to this point in my career."
Director of rugby Les Kiss said there had been a lot of interest in Jackson from big European clubs and that the negotiations had been "far from straightforward".
"Paddy is the type of player that we can build the team around and it's important that we have home-grown talent at the forefront of what we are trying to achieve," said Kiss.
"His ability and leadership will be critical for us in the future."
The Sky Blues, who are six points off the top six after two wins in a row, still have a mathematical chance of making the League One play-offs.
"We'll be looking to give the fans what they deserve," said 26-year-old Rose.
"We need to give them a few more wins and we're looking forward to that."
Melbourne-born Rose came off the bench to score his first Coventry goal as he grabbed the winner in Tuesday's 1-0 victory over Bradford City to keep their promotion hopes alive.
Regardless of whether City can sneak into the play-offs, Rose wants a return to the kind of form that saw the Sky Blues go 11 games unbeaten earlier in the season.
"We need to live up to the success the team had earlier in the season," Rose told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire.
"The fans haven't been getting enough of that, we need to make sure they go home happy.
"We'll really challenge for promotion next season but, six points out with three games to go, who's to say we can't do it - stranger things have happened."

"If there is data, it's usually unreliable and dubious," he continues.
For example, in 2010 Ghana announced it had changed its base year for calculating gross domestic product (GDP) from 1993 to 2006, and overnight the country's GDP jumped 60%.
"Suddenly Ghana was much richer than we thought it was," explains Morten Jerven, author of Poor Numbers: How We Are Misled by African Development Statistics and What to Do about It.
Much of the problem, he says, is that African governments have not put statistics at the forefront of policy and institutional reform agendas, leaving the private sector and non-governmental organisations to fill in the gaps. Yet the uncoordinated demands and needs from both sectors have resulted in fragmented collection of data.
Africa's middle class is rapidly rising, fuelling the second fastest growing economic bloc in the world.
According to the World Bank's most recent Africa Pulse report, consumer spending accounted for more than 60% of sub-Saharan Africa's economic growth last year.
Companies are scrambling to get in on this growth, but one big barrier remains - how to gather reliable market information, insights and opinions from across the continent.
For many research firms, traditional data collection has involved sending a fleet of researchers out with pen and paper to all corners of a country.
But this is still the old-fashioned "Land Rover" methodology, says Nathan Eagle, founder and chief executive of Jana, a US-based company that powers one of the world's largest reward-for-survey platforms in emerging markets, mCent.
"You've got to get into an old Land Rover and head out into the field," he says, which is both expensive and time consuming. "[But] with the advent of mobile phones, that is shifting."
Jana's platform integrates directly into the billing systems of 237 mobile operators, enabling 3.48 billion people in emerging markets to be rewarded with airtime for taking part in surveys.
Users sign up for Jana through a mobile-friendly website or Facebook app, enter their information, and pick what surveys they qualify for. After completing the survey, airtime - ranging from 50 US cents to $5 (30p to £3) - is automatically credited to their phone.
The idea, says Mr Eagle, is to offer financial compensation for users that matches the valuable data they are offering to market research companies - data that would be much more expensive to obtain in other ways.
"We have millions of people across sub-Saharan Africa, and we're just scratching the surface here," he says. "We have far more supply than demand for market research."
Earlier this year, Jana helped CNN International to find out what Africans thought about the possibility of an African Pope. They surveyed 20,000 people across 11 countries over four days. (In case you're wondering, 51% felt an African Pope would be more conservative than previous Popes).
"It was an experiment for us," explains Peter Bale, vice president and general manager of CNN International Digital. "We're experiencing high rates of growth in CNN consumption in Africa, particularly through mobile devices. So we needed to look at how we tap into that.
"It's a proper means of exchange," he adds. "Fifty cents of airtime for six questions, and we got a tremendous flow of information."
Although Jana rewards users through mobile airtime, users need an internet connection to fill out the surveys. The vast majority of mobile phones in Africa are feature phones, which can access the internet, but are generally sluggish in browsing and have high data costs.
In most cases in Africa, Mr Eagle says, users pay to go to local internet cafes, which could also cost them part of their reward.
Yet another company is addressing this problem with a different approach.
BiNu, an Australian firm launched in 2011, is a platform that gives basic mobile feature phones essentially smartphone-like capabilities by offloading all the processing to a cloud-based server, which offers an app store.
"It's like your smartphone in the cloud," says Gour Lentell, BiNu's co-founder. This makes it cheaper and faster to browse on feature phones.
Through BiNu's "Research and Rewards" platform, customers are prompted to opt in to receive surveys and questionnaires, for which they are rewarded with BiNu "credits", convertible to music, books or airtime.
While this type of research could be, and is being, done via text message - through companies like GeoPoll - texts have their limitations.
"The predominant way you'd reach consumers in emerging markets is SMS, because it works on every phone," explains Mr Lentell. "But it's cumbersome and slow, and the types of questions you can post, length of text and methods of collection responses is limited."
Digital may be a fast and efficient way to collect and analyse big data on the continent, but is the data deep enough to replace the old Land Rover methodology?
It depends, says Jasper Grosskurth of Research Solutions Africa.
"The problem with [digital] panels and response rates is that often all you know about the respondents is gender, age, and location or country," he says. "So if I want to run a well-balanced, representative survey, that's tough. It's not as randomised."
Although digital is cheaper, and perhaps better for basic opinion polls - like thoughts on an African Pope - if you want to thoroughly evaluate a development project, for example, "it won't work".
Nevertheless, small and medium-sized businesses are keen to take advantage of the benefits that digital can offer.
"The average consumer in Kenya makes seven to eight payments a day, even the poorest ones," explains Dylan Higgins, chief executive of Kopo Kopo, a Kenya-based start-up. "Those transactions are happening, but they've largely been anonymous to date."
While companies like BiNu and Jana use mobile phones to help big brands find new information from potential or existing consumers, Kopo Kopo aims to find what data already exists, and make it available to local businesses.
M-Pesa, the mobile money service that launched in Kenya in 2007, now has more than 17 million users.
Kopo Kopo captures all of a firm's untracked M-Pesa transactions, and digitises them into a dashboard for business owners to better understand and engage with their customers.
Once businesses are aware of their customers' profiles and spending habits, they can engage with them through offers, rewards, surveys and more.
"A lot of global brands are entering the African market, but there are also a number of brands developing in this market that could become regional or global," says Mr Higgins.
"It's a democratising tool that levels the playing field. As much as I would love to work with the larger brands, why should they be the only ones who can afford to understand and engage their customers?"
British and Irish Lion Roberts, the first active international to appear in the fixture since 2009, went off at half-time after suffering a dead leg.
Don Stevens and George Cullen traded penalties for a 3-3 score at the break.
Stevens' kick then put Cambridge 6-3 up but three more Cullen penalties sealed Oxford's sixth Varsity win in a row.
The Dark Blues, whose latest victory set a new record for consecutive successes in the 143-year-old fixture, have now also dragged the overall head-to-head score back to 61-59 in Cambridge's favour.
Prior to his half-time withdrawal, Roberts had looked a potent ball carrier in a contest otherwise short on quality and action in either 22.
The 29-year-old, capped 74 times by Wales, is now poised to join up with his new club Harlequins - and played down the seriousness of his injury.
"It's only a dead leg," he told BBC Sport. "It got worse and worse as the first half went on, and I couldn't run after half-time so had to come off.
"The guys chucked everything into it and we can't ask for anything more from them.
"It's an amazing day, the pinnacle of student sport and for these boys it's their cup final. A few of the guys are in tears and it's very difficult."
With their star player sidelined, Cambridge struggled to maintain their physical intensity after the interval and Oxford looked the more threatening of the two teams.
Having contributed 18 points in last year's 43-6 success, Cullen kicked all 12 in 2015 to secure victory in front of 25,013 fans inside Twickenham.

Andi Patrascu, from Preston Road, Hockley, died in hospital after a head on crash on the A38(M) Aston Expressway at about 12:30 GMT on Monday.
The 43-year-old Romanian national had been living in the UK for more than 30 years, West Midlands Police said.
Police are still investigating why the silver Rover MG was travelling against the flow of outgoing traffic.
PC Stuart Thorpe said: "It's clear the Rover MG crossed the tidal flow lane and into traffic heading away from the city, but we are still trying to understand why this happened."
Police said they are still keen to hear from anyone who saw what happened but have not yet contacted them.
Two other drivers were taken to hospital to be treated for injuries after the collision and were later discharged.
Addressing political leaders on Monday, Theresa Villiers told political leaders it was "make your mind up time".
Ms Villiers, who has chaired 150 meetings in the process, said they have had "plenty of time to discuss the issues".
Talks between Northern Ireland's five main parties and the British and Irish governments have lasted 10 weeks.
The deputy first minister said negotiations, aimed at resolving the political crisis at Stormont, should not go beyond Wednesday.
Martin McGuinness said a sticking point is on institutions designed to deal with the legacy of the Troubles.
First Minister Peter Robinson said he was hopeful progress would be made during Monday and Tuesday.
The discussions are focusing on finance, paramilitary activity and how to deal with the legacy of the Northern Ireland conflict.
Mr McGuinness said the best thing local politicians could do is to forge an agreement this week.
He said the government needed to come up to the mark in meeting the concerns of victims about "national security" being used as a reason not to disclose information.
But he added that if the government did not do this, there is no reason why the politicians cannot press ahead on other issues on which progress has been made.
A minute's silence was held at by MLAs at Stormont's Parliament Buildings on Monday morning as a mark of respect for the victims of Friday's gun and bomb attacks in Paris, in which 129 people were killed.
Afterwards, Mr Robinson said events in France heighten resolve to ensure that paramilitarism and terrorism in Northern Ireland is over once and for all.
Cross-party discussions began in September in a bid to resolve Northern Ireland's current political crisis.
That crisis erupted when police said they believed IRA members had been involved in the murder of a former IRA man in Belfast in August.
The parties have also been at loggerheads over the implementation of welfare reforms.
A welfare reform deal had been agreed almost a year ago, but Sinn Féin withdrew its support in March.
A car was in collision with a van at the junction of Fryers Road and Leamore Lane, in Bloxwich, at about 23:00 BST on Sunday.
A 21-year-old man, who was travelling in the car, died at the scene. A 20-year-old passenger is in a critical condition in hospital.
Police said the 28-year-old driver of the car was arrested.

Police said no-one in the van was injured.
The article in question described the beautiful fifth skull from Dmanisi in Georgia. Most commentators and colleagues were full of praise, but controversy soon reared its ugly head.
What was, in my view, a logical conclusion reached by the authors was too much for some researchers to take.
The conclusion of the Dmanisi study was that the variation in skull shape and morphology observed in this small sample, derived from a single population of Homo erectus, matched the entire variation observed among African fossils ascribed to three species - H. erectus, H. habilis and H. rudolfensis.
The five highly variable Dmanisi fossils belonged to a single population of H. erectus, so how could we argue any longer that similar variation among spatially and temporally widely distributed fossils in Africa reflected differences between species? They all had to be the same species.
I have been advocating that the morphological differences observed within fossils typically ascribed to Homo sapiens (the so-called modern humans) and the Neanderthals fall within the variation observable in a single species.
It was not surprising to find that Neanderthals and modern humans interbred, a clear expectation of the biological species concept.
But most people were surprised with that particular discovery, as indeed they were with the fifth skull and many other recent discoveries, for example the "Hobbit" from the Indonesian island of Flores.
It seems that almost every other discovery in palaeoanthropology is reported as a surprise. I wonder when the penny will drop: when we have five pieces of a 5,000-piece jigsaw puzzle, every new bit that we add is likely to change the picture.
Did we really think that having just a minuscule residue of our long and diverse past was enough for us to tell humanity's story?
If the fossils of 1.8 or so million years ago and those of the more recent Neanderthal-modern human era were all part of a single, morphologically diverse, species with a wide geographical range, what is there to suggest that it would have been any different in the intervening periods?
Probably not so different if we take the latest finds from the Altai Mountains in Siberia into account. Denisova Cave has produced yet another surprise, revealing that, not only was there gene flow between Neanderthals, Denisovans and modern humans, but that a fourth player was also involved in the gene-exchange game.
The identity of the fourth player remains unknown but it was an ancient lineage that had been separate for probably over a million years. H. erectus seems a likely candidate. Whatever the name we choose to give this mystery lineage, what these results show is that gene flow was possible not just among contemporaries but also between ancient and more modern lineages.
Just to show how little we really know of the human story, another genetic surprise has confounded palaeoanthropologists. Scientists succeeded in extracting the most ancient mitochondrial DNA so far, from the Sima de los Huesos site in Atapuerca, Spain.
The morphology of these well-known Middle Pleistocene (approximately 400,000 years old) fossils have long been thought to represent a lineage leading to the Neanderthals.
When the results came in they were actually closer to the 40,000 year-old Denisovans from Siberia. We can speculate on the result but others have offered enough alternatives for me to not to have to add to them.
The conclusion that I derive takes me back to Dmanisi: We have built a picture of our evolution based on the morphology of fossils and it was wrong.
We just cannot place so much taxonomic weight on a handful of skulls when we know how plastic - or easily changeable - skull shape is in humans. And our paradigms must also change.
Some time ago we replaced a linear view of our evolution by one represented by a branching tree. It is now time to replace it with that of an interwoven plexus of genetic lineages that branch out and fuse once again with the passage of time.
This means, of course, that we must abandon, once and for all, views of modern human superiority over archaic (ancient) humans. The terms "archaic" and "modern" lose all meaning as do concepts of modern human replacement of all other lineages.
It also releases us from the deep-rooted shackles that have sought to link human evolution with stone tool-making technological stages - the Stone Ages - even when we have known that these have overlapped with each other for half-a-million years in some instances.
The world of our biological and cultural evolution was far too fluid for us to constrain it into a few stages linked by transitions.
The challenge must now be to try and learn as much as we can of the detail. We have to flesh out the genetic information and this is where archaeology comes into the picture. We may never know how the Denisovans earned a living, after all we have mere fragments of their anatomy at our disposal, let alone other populations that we may not even be aware of.
What we can do is try to understand the spectrum of potential responses of human populations to different environmental conditions and how culture has intervened in these relationships. The Neanderthals will be central to our understanding of the possibilities because they have been so well studied.
A recent paper, for example, supports the view that Neanderthals at La Chapelle-aux-Saints in France intentionally buried their dead which contrasts with reports of cannibalistic behaviour not far away at El Sidron in northern Spain.
Here we have two very different behavioural patterns within Neanderthals. Similarly, modern humans in south-western Europe painted in cave walls for a limited period but many contemporaries did not. Some Neanderthals did it in a completely different way it seems, by selecting raptor feathers of particular colours. Rather than focus on differences between modern humans and Neanderthals, what the examples show is the range of possibilities open to humans (Neanderthals included) in different circumstances.
The future of human origins research will need to focus along three axes:
Sites in the latter category are few and far between. In Europe at least, many were excavated during the last century but there are some outstanding examples remaining. Gorham's and Vanguard Caves in Gibraltar, where I work, are among those because they span over 100,000 years of occupation and are veritable repositories of data.
There is another dimension to this story. It seems that the global community is coming round to recognising the value of key sites that document human evolution.
In 2012, the caves on Mount Carmel were inscribed on the Unesco World Heritage List and the UK Government will be putting Gorham's and associated caves on the Rock of Gibraltar forward for similar status in January 2015. It is recognition of the value of these caves as archives of the way of life and the environments of people long gone but who are very much a part of our story.
Prof Clive Finlayson is director of the Gibraltar Museum and author of the book The Improbable Primate.
After touring the damage David Yurdiga said it might be years before the city was running normally again.
More than 100,000 residents of the city and surrounding area fled after an evacuation order was issued.
Officials say the fire, now burning for a week, grew more slowly at the weekend than first feared.
Firefighters held key areas and the blaze now covers about 1,610 sq km (620 sq miles) - less than the 1,800 sq km (700 sq miles) estimated on Saturday.
Mr Yurdiga said while most of the city was intact the area was still too dangerous for residents to return home.
"An estimate: 20% of the homes have been burnt, but the majority of homes are standing, no damage at all," Mr Yurdiga said.
"So you know what? It's a lot better than I thought it was."
On Sunday, fire chiefs spoke of getting a "death grip" on the fire, which has been fed by hot weather and tinder dry terrain.
"With a little help from mother nature and a bit of a break in the weather, and all the hard work of all the firefighters we were able to hold most of the line in Fort McMurray," said Alberta wildfire manager Chad Morrison.
But it could be months before the fire is fully brought under control. Officials warned only significant rainfall could fully halt its spread.
The fire is being blown east away from communities, but still threatens to cross from Alberta province into neighbouring Saskatchewan.
Air quality warnings have been issued for Saskatchewan and Northwest Territories, with locals advised to close windows and doors due to smoke.
The final evacuations of 25,000 people who headed north from Fort McMurray after the blaze began was completed on Sunday.
Schools in the provincial capital Edmonton are arranging for displaced families to send their children to local schools from Monday.
No deaths or injuries have been reported from the fire, but two people died in traffic accidents during the mass evacuation.
The fire is expected to be the most expensive natural disaster in Canadian history, with insurance costs alone already running into billions of dollars.
Fort McMurray is in the heart of Canada's oil sands country, and the region has the world's third-largest reserves of oil. Workers at major oil companies have also been evacuated.
As much as a quarter of the country's oil production has been halted by the fire, raising concerns about the effect on the Canadian economy.
The Palestinians - aged 32, 42 and 55 - were hanged after being convicted by a court of treason and conspiring with foreign parties, a statement said.
They are believed to have been arrested between six months to a year ago.
The executions come as Hamas investigates last month's killing of a senior militant, Mazen Fuqaha. It has blamed Israel and local collaborators.
Human Rights Watch condemned Thursday's executions as "abhorrent" and warned Hamas that they projected "weakness, not strength".
"Hamas authorities will never achieve true security or stability through firing squads or by the gallows, but rather through respect for international norms and the rule of law," said Sarah Leah Whitson, the US-based group's Middle East director.
Israel occupied the Gaza Strip during the 1967 Middle East war. In 2005, it withdrew its troops and some 7,000 settlers.
In 2006, Hamas won Palestinian Legislative Council elections. It took control of Gaza the following year after a violent rift with the rival Fatah faction of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
Since then, the Hamas-run authorities have carried out 22 executions, most recently in May 2016, and courts in Gaza have sentenced 106 people to death since then, according to the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights.
Hamas also killed 23 people without trials during its 2014 war with Israel.
Hamas has offered no evidence that Israel was behind Fuqaha's death.
An Israeli court sentenced him to nine life terms in 2003 for directing suicide bombings, but he was freed along with more than 1,000 other Palestinian prisoners in 2011 in exchange for the captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
On Wednesday, Hamas offered collaborators a week to turn themselves in and seek clemency, so long as they were not involved in the Fuqaha killing.
It also maintained restrictions at the territory's main crossing with Israel that were imposed after the killing, despite criticism from the United Nations and human rights groups.
Researchers carried out a range of tests, including making a non-violent version of popular game Half-Life 2.
Games modified to have counter-intuitive, frustrating controls - leading to feelings of incompetence - produced more aggressive reactions.
The team called for more sophisticated research into violent gaming.
"There's a need for researchers who are interested in these questions not just to pull two video games off the shelf from the high street," said Dr Andrew Przybylski from the Oxford Internet Institute, who carried out the research along with colleagues from the University of Rochester in the US.
"We need to have a more sophisticated approach so we're all reading from the same experimental methods."
The link between violence and video games is a heavily debated topic among psychologists.
One recent study suggested that playing violent video games for long periods of time can hold back the "moral maturity" of teenagers.
Problems arose with teenagers who spent more than three hours every day in front of a screen, continuously playing these violent games without any other real-life interaction.
The study from the University of Oxford, however, believed it was the first to look at the impact gameplay mechanics had on aggression.
The findings have been published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
The research sought to establish whether it was violence in games which made players feel more aggressive, or a combination of other factors.
Six separate studies were carried out.
One of them involved modifying Half-Life 2 - a critically-acclaimed, but graphic, shooting title.
The researchers created a modified version in which rather than violently removing enemies, the player would instead "tag" foes who would then evaporate.
This version was tested alongside the normal, violent version.
However, only some of the gamers were given a tutorial before playing the game so they could familiarise themselves with the controls and game mechanics.
The researchers found that it was the players who had not had the tutorial who felt less competent and more aggressive, rather than people who had played the more violent version of the game.
"We focused on the motives of people who play electronic games and found players have a psychological need to come out on top when playing," said Dr Przybylski.
"If players feel thwarted by the controls or the design of the game, they can wind up feeling aggressive.
"This need to master the game was far more significant than whether the game contained violent material.
"Players of games without any violent content were still feeling pretty aggressive if they hadn't been able to master the controls or progress through the levels at the end of the session."
Further research is needed, Dr Przybylski said, into longer-term effects of video game violence beyond initial feelings of aggression.
Co-author Prof Richard Ryan, from the University of Rochester, said: "The study is not saying that violent content doesn't affect gamers, but our research suggests that people are not drawn to playing violent games in order to feel aggressive.
"Rather, the aggression stems from feeling not in control or incompetent while playing.
"If the structure of a game or the design of the controls thwarts enjoyment, it is this not the violent content that seems to drive feelings of aggression."
The chief executive of Tiga, a British video games trade body, said it was encouraging to read a study that took a more nuanced approach to the link between video games and aggression than some previous research into the topic.
"If developers can design more effective game-play processes then it could be possible to minimise a player's feelings of exasperation and irritation - admittedly something good developers will want to achieve in any case," said Richard Wilson.
"Indeed, creating a game that is challenging without feeling unfair or frustrating is often the mark of a great developer.
"It's also important to understand, as part of this debate, that most video games are not violent.
"Previous research published by Tanya Byron in her 2008 independent review 'Safer Children in a Digital World', found little evidence to suggest children who play video games become desensitised to violence."

They are very shy and sharply declining in numbers.
Unless you are lucky enough to live in Whitchurch, Shropshire, where you can spot them while doing the weekly shop.
The town is a little sanctuary for water voles, with several populations that live around a brook that runs next to the car park of a local supermarket.
I went to meet @VoleWriter (better known as Kate Long) to see if she could help me spot one.
We stood together on the small pedestrian bridge over the brook and waited.
And while we waited a stream of shoppers came up to ask if we were vole spotting.
It's clear the people of Whitchurch are big water vole fans and proud of their large local population.
The stream through the supermarket car park is perfect water vole territory.
A sandy bottom to the water, soft banks to burrow into and plenty of vegetation to eat.
But it has one other major advantage, according to Kate.
She thinks the local mink prefer the linear habitat of the nearby canal which bypasses Whitchurch.
So with almost no mink to worry about, the population on this brook has boomed.
They don't seem at all bothered by the cars and shoppers they live next to.
After a short while, Kate pointed out something furry and brown running along the edge of the water.
It was my first wild water vole sighting!
They're much rounder than a brown rat, more like a guinea pig size and shape.
It was a brilliant moment for me (although we didn't catch it on our camera sadly, so on Midlands Today we'll be relying on Kate's excellent footage).
You can find out plenty more about the water voles of Whitchurch on Kate's blog.
For her, the town and her pupils at Criftins Primary School, the water voles of Whitchurch are an important part of the local ecosystem.
There's even a local Whitchurch water vole group.
Whitchurch is also a great place to spot the other signs of water voles, like their "Pringle tube sized" burrows and the neat way they nibble through plant stems at a 45-degree angle.
But the best thing about water voles in Whitchurch is you don't just see evidence of a population.
As I discovered, it is wonderfully easy to actually see one.
So if you go supermarket shopping in Whitchurch keep your eyes peeled.
The staff worked with detainees held on the Pacific island of Nauru and Papua New Guinea's Manus Island.
A signed letter from the workers argues that Australia must work to resettle refugees held in these centres.
It follows the Guardian's publication of more than 2,000 leaked reports from the immigration centre on Nauru.
The "incident reports" revealed widespread abuse and trauma among children and women at the centre.
The former detention centre employees argue that the only way to secure the safety of asylum seekers on Nauru and Manus Island is to immediately bring them to Australia.
"It's an untenable situation for it to remain the way it is," said Toby O'Brien, a former child protection officer for Save the Children.
Many of the staff say that they have already given evidence to several investigations.
"Inquiries and so on are not really relevant to addressing the issue right now because quite a number of adults and children are at immediate risk of harm on the island," Mr O'Brien told the BBC.
"By the time these inquiries are finished and recommendations are implemented it's highly likely that more people have been harmed."
The news comes at the government confirmed it had repatriated a group of six Sri Lankans attempting to reach Australia by boat.
"Our Sri Lankan partners provided advice that this vessel might be targeting Australia so we were ready and waiting to locate and detain the boat," Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said.
The immigration minister last week accused asylum seekers of setting themselves on fire, deliberately self-harming and making false allegations of sexual assault to get to Australia.
The government of Nauru said on Monday most incidents detailed in the cache of files were "fabricated" and accused Australian media and politicians of using refugees as political pawns.
"Most refugee & advocate claims on Nauru fabricated to achieve goal to get to Aus. So called 'reports' based solely on these claims #fact," it wrote on Twitter.
"Aust left wing media, greens MPs and advocates still using refugees as pawns for their political agendas. Very sad."
Alex Haines found an apparent method to view the personal data of other users - including email addresses and phone numbers - during the sign-up process for Kids Pass.
Kids Pass offers its 1.4 million members discounts at attractions such as theme parks.
It said the issue had now been fixed.
The UK's data watchdog has said it is looking into the matter.
"I was down in Devon holidaying for the weekend with my family but because of bad weather we needed something to do so we signed up to Kids Pass," explained Mr Haines.
While doing so, he noticed that a simple tweak of the web address appeared to recall data belonging to another customer within the validation form.
He believes the data would have come from another customer who had not yet completed the account activation process.
Mr Haines - who runs an IT business but who is not himself a security expert - then contacted cyber-security researcher Troy Hunt.
Mr Hunt told him not to try to access any more data, but to let Kids Pass know what he had found.
However, Mr Haines was then blocked by the Kids Pass Twitter account and he did not receive a response.
Upon trying to contact them himself, Mr Hunt was also blocked.
"We'd just pointed out that there was an issue we needed to talk about," said Mr Haines. "I was surprised, shocked."
A spokeswoman for Kids Pass explained that the pair had been blocked by the firm's out of hours social media monitoring team, but were unblocked about 10 hours later.
She also said Kids Pass did not believe any customer data had been compromised, and confirmed that the issue had since been "addressed and resolved" by the Kids Pass IT team.
"As a result of this we have decided to introduce a vulnerability policy similar to the ones operated by Tesla, Facebook etc," she added.
"This is so we can benefit from the expertise of security researchers, whose feedback we value greatly."
A spokeswoman for the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) told the BBC that all organisations had a duty to keep people's personal details safe.
"We will be looking into the details of concerns raised about the Kids Pass website," she said.
Hazlehead crematorium was removed from the list of council properties being opened to the public after complaints from families affected by the scandal.
The council was heavily criticised in a report by Dame Elish Angiolini for cremating babies with unrelated adults.
The former lord advocate described the routine practice as "abhorrent".
A council spokesman confirmed Hazlehead would not be part of the annual Open Doors Day event on 10 September.
He said: "Due to the timing of the event, and as a mark of respect to families affected by historical practices at Hazlehead Crematorium, we have taken the decision to remove the crematorium from this year's Doors Open Day schedule."
BBC Scotland revealed in 2013 that no ashes had been offered to the families of infants cremated in Aberdeen over a five-year period.
Baby and adult ashes were mixed together and given back to relatives of the adult, while the parents of infants were told there were no ashes.
The Aberdeen crematorium was among those investigated after it emerged staff at the Mortonhall crematorium in Edinburgh had been burying baby ashes in secret for decades.
Bobby Grant put Fleetwood in front after 34 minutes, taking a pass from David Ball and cutting in from the right before beating keeper Colin Doyle with an angled shot high into the net.
The goal came after former Bradford striker Devante Cole had missed a great chance of scoring against his old club in the 14th minute.
Cole looked certain to score after intercepting a loose pass from Josh Cullen, but Doyle dived full length to turn his low shot away for a corner.
Bradford equalised in the second minute of stoppage time at the end of the first half, three minutes after visitors' keeper Chris Neal had made a fine save to stop Haris Vuckic's shot on the line.
However, Neal could nothing to prevent Filipe Morais' equaliser. The Portguese winger raced on to a pass from substitute Billy Clarke and scored with a rasping shot from 10 yards to leave the sides level 1-1 at half-time.
Bradford's winner came in the 62nd minute. Timothee Dieng was held by back in the penalty area by Amari'i Bell and Clarke scored from the spot.

Scottish Engineering's latest quarterly review suggested an improvement in orders and output on the previous two three-month periods.
It also found "particularly strong" growth in staffing levels.
The industry body said it showed engineering firms were "gritting their teeth" in tough economic conditions.
According to the survey of 320 companies, positive output figures were reported by electronics firms, fabricators, machine shops and mechanical equipment businesses.
UK orders in general were similar to the first quarter of this year, while export orders also remained positive.
Employee numbers generally showed a "marked improvement " across small, medium and large companies over the previous quarter.
In general terms, levels of optimism among small and medium sized firms remained positive, but there was a more negative outlook from large companies.
Scottish Engineering said some sections of the engineering industry were looking to improve on the last quarter's predictions.
Fabricators indicated high hopes for UK orders in the next quarter, although some saw exports declining compared with the last quarter.
Speaking to BBC Wales, he said the Northern Ireland process was "a bit slower than we thought".
"I didn't think the process was going to last quite as long as that. But it did. It's 10, 15 years before things started changing," he said.
"There are a few who don't like it, but we are literally talking about a few."
Mr Murphy said a new generation of young people had no memory of the Troubles.
"That was the idea - that we'd make life normal for people. That, I think, has worked," he said.
Mr Murphy was Northern Ireland secretary in 2002 and earlier played a key role in negotiating the Good Friday Agreement as a deputy to Mo Mowlam.
Also a former Welsh Secretary under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, he announced on Friday he would stand down from the House of Commons at the general election after 28 years as the MP for Torfaen.
The 400-year-old city of Hyderabad is linked in popular mind for its signature biriyani as much as it is with the exquisitely constructed Charminar monument.
The biriyani may have become a local landmark, but that doesn't stop people from asking, "Where did it come to India from and when?"
The lazy "scholars" are quick to opine that it was the genius of Indian people who transformed the "Cinderella of Central Asian pilaff" into the sparkling biriyani, but it is difficult to buy this "thesis".
A pulav (as pilaff is called in India) is a pulav - call it by any name - and a biriyani is a biriyani - belonging to a very different species.
This is the eleventh article in a BBC series India on a plate, on the diversity and vibrancy of Indian food. Other stories in the series:

Inside India's 'dying' Irani cafes
There can be little doubt that biriyani originated in Iran. Even the name biriyani can be traced to the original Persian "birinj biriyan" - literally, fried rice.
In Iran, the deg (pot) is put on dum (slow cooking to allow the marinated meat to cook in its own juices and perfectly with layered rice and aromatic substances), and the rice is gently fried.
The doyenne of Islamic cooking in India, Salma Hussein, tells us however that the biriyani sold on the streets in contemporary Iran no longer contains rice and has evolved into succulent chunks of meat cooked in an envelope of rumali roti (paper thin bread).
But the dish has also evolved in India, where it has a colourful and varied history.
There is no evidence that biriyani first came to this land with the Moguls. It is far more probable that it travelled with pilgrims and soldier-statesmen of noble descent to the Deccan region in south India.
It was only much later that the dish meandered along less travelled roads, along the seaboard and the hinterland of the peninsula, donning different local garbs to tickle regional palates.
In present day Kerala for instance, one encounters the Malabar/Mopla biriyani. At times it substitutes meat and chicken in favour of fish or prawn. The spicing is stronger here and its proponents do not miss the aromatic symphony associated with the Hyderabadi product.
In far off West Bengal, the Dhakai version of the dish from the Bangladeshi capital is no less seductive. It is not unreasonable to suggest that the biriyani could have traversed the sea route to reach this port city, which was once ruled by nawabs (Mughal princes).
And along the west coast, the milder Bohri biriyani has many die hard patrons.
A far more robust biriyani - flavourful and satisfying - continues to be cooked in [the central city of] Bhopal where another strain may have come with the Durrani Afghans who once wore the colours of Ahmed Shah Abdali's army.
Then there is the Moradabadi biriyani (made in Moradabad city in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh) that has suddenly (re)surfaced in the capital, Delhi.
And the best example of the "Rajasthani improvisation on the biriyani theme" is arguably the deg prepared for the devout pilgrims at Garib Nawaz ki Dargah at the popular Ajmer Sharif Sufi shrine.
Unfortunately though, people remain unacquainted with the real McCoy.
The fare dished out at most eateries can be best described as "frying pan biriyani".
Here rice may be long grained and a hint of saffron may tint it yellow, but this concoction is not even a distant cousin of true blue biriyani.
Even posh hotels and fine dining restaurants don't bother cooking it from scratch. They have instead, developed the fine art of "assembling" the dum ki biriyani.
The horsemeat scandal has shown how complex the UK's meat supply chain has become, and it also highlights how little retailers and customers alike know what is actually going into the food that we eat.
Meat represents 14% of a household's weekly food purchases on average, according to a 2012 report from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).
While data from Defra's Family Food report shows there has been little change in the proportion of meat people have been buying in the UK for decades, there is a marked difference in the type of meat being purchased.
The quantity of ready meals and convenience meat products - including kebabs and chicken kievs - the British public bought increased by 480% from 1974 through to 2011.
That stands in stark contrast to weekly household purchases of fresh cuts of meat, such as lamb, mutton, pork, beef and veal, which have all experienced noticeable drops.
The Family Food report figures show chicken became a more popular meat than beef for the first time in 1988 during the BSE crisis - when the public boycotted British beef after a link was established between BSE carried by infected cattle and the human form of the disease, CJD.
Purchases of ready-made burgers - which were the original focus of the horsemeat scandal - have been relatively consistent over time.
Italian food passed English to become the biggest selling ready meal cuisine in 2011, with sales of £406m.
The UK market for chilled and frozen ready meals is valued at £1.85bn and grew 6.6% in 2011, according to market research company Key Note.
But the market was rocked after horsemeat was found in some frozen lasagne and spaghetti Bolognese products this month, including some Findus beef lasagne products which were found to contain 100% horsemeat.
Price is the most important factor for shoppers when they are deciding which foods to buy, according to Defra's 2012 Food Statistics Pocketbook.
More than 40% of customers said it is the most important factor, with 90% listing it in their top five.
Food prices have risen by 12% in real terms since 2007 and, after years of price falls, are now back up to 1997 levels.
That has resulted in those in low income households cutting back on fruit, vegetables and meat like beef, pork and lamb, Defra says.
Food writer Rose Prince compared the horsemeat revelations to the BSE crisis of the 1980s and thinks the current crisis will lead to a lack of trust from the public in convenience food.
"We've come to believe religiously in convenience food without thinking too much about where it comes from because we trust suppliers and retailers," she said.
"What we're seeing now is as a result of the constant drive to keep food prices low."
Prince William flew to an incident in Garboldisham in Norfolk on Tuesday. "Patient confidentiality" prevented the EAAA giving details of the mission.
The duke's first shift began at Cambridge Airport on Monday morning.
Later that day what would have been his first active mission to a road accident in St Albans was stood down, EAAA said.
Prince William completed a civilian pilot course in September before taking dedicated 999-response training in order to take up his role with the air ambulance service.
The former RAF helicopter pilot's duties will cover incidents in Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire.
On Monday the prince admitted to "feeling the nerves" as he began his first nine-and-a-half hour shift as co-pilot alongside medical staff.
However, within three hours he was called on to fly a helicopter to an incident in Hertfordshire, as reported in the Cambridge News.
An EAAA spokeswoman confirmed to the BBC the prince and the rest of the crew were called back to base when it was realised the air ambulance was not required.
Now it has emerged Prince William piloted his first EAAA rescue mission the next day, landing his helicopter in Garboldisham.
"We are unable to confirm any more details of this incident because of patient confidentiality," an EAAA spokeswoman said.
Prince William's shift pattern is expected to be four days on, four days off, but will take into account his official royal duties.
Bond Air Services operates the air ambulance on behalf of the charity and the prince will be paid a salary which he is donating to charity.
He gained notoriety for his smuggling exploits and spent years on the run before he was caught in Spain in 1988 and extradited to the US.
A year after being released early from an American prison for good behaviour, Marks put pen to paper to write his memoirs.
Mr Nice became a bestseller and was turned into a film, while Marks also spent years campaigning to reform drugs laws.
Marks, who has died aged 70 a year after being diagnosed with cancer, was born in Kenfig Hill, Bridgend county, in 1945.
He was an unlikely drugs smuggler, having received a physics degree from Oxford University.
Although he smoked cannabis as a student, it was after graduating that he began dealing the drug.
His involvement escalated as he began smuggling cannabis around the world, relying on multiple identities and a well-connected network of friends to evade justice.
It was also claimed Marks worked for MI6, which was said to have been impressed by his criminal contacts, who included members of the IRA.
He was eventually arrested in Spain by American drug enforcement officers and extradited to Florida the following year to face trial.
In 1990, he was found guilty of smuggling cannabis and sentenced to 15 years in prison.
But his good behaviour saw him released in 1995, and he subsequently chronicled his smuggling exploits in his book.
Mr Nice was translated into several languages, while a film based on the book was released in 2010 with the actor Rhys Ifans playing Marks.
Marks also began campaigning for the legalisation of cannabis, and stood for election to Parliament in 1997 on a single-issue ticket of reforming drugs laws.
He also cultivated a reputation as a raconteur and a cultural icon.
Marks regularly toured a one-man show in which he recounted stories about drug smuggling and his time in prison.
As well as the film version of Mr Nice, he had cameo roles in the 1999 movie Human Traffic and appeared on TV shows including Never Mind the Buzzcocks.
He also collaborated on songs with the Super Furry Animals and made appearances at the Glastonbury festival.
In January 2015, he revealed he had been diagnosed with inoperable bowel cancer, prompting some of his celebrity friends to organise a fundraising evening in London, which included performances by Rhys Ifans, Cerys Matthews and the Super Furry Animals.
A follow-up to his autobiography, Mr Smiley: My Last Pill and Testament, was published in autumn 2015.
He told me in an interview in October 2015 he had no regrets and was happy - he was "living with cancer not dying from cancer".

Edmondson told the BBC he was secretly injecting himself with a cocktail of vitamins when riding for Team Sky.
The 24-year-old said he confessed to Team Sky at the time but there was "a cover-up" by senior management.
Following the report, the UCI said the Cycling Anti-Doping Foundation is in touch with the UK Anti-Doping Agency.
Cycling's governing body said the Anti-Doping Foundation, an independent entity in charge of the sport's anti-doping program, will "assess the matter".
Edmondson, who was on Team Sky's books in 2013 and 2014, also told BBC sports editor Dan Roan he had severe depression after independently using the controversial painkiller Tramadol.
He said the pressure of his selection for a major race in 2014 led to him breaching the UCI's 'no-needle' policy "two or three times a week" for about a month.
Team Sky say legal vitamins and a needle were found in Edmondson's room, but they did not report the incident because he denied using them, and over concerns he "could be pushed over the edge".
Team Sky have a no-needle, no-Tramadol stance.

Former Team Sky head of medicine Dr Peters confirmed to the BBC that a member of Team Sky who shared a house with Edmondson had found "a needle and some vials", and had taken a photograph of the evidence.
But Team Sky say the incident was not reported, after Edmondson told Dr Peters via Skype that he had not used the equipment.
"He fell apart at the seams quite dramatically. A number of things I asked him during that interview really alarmed me," said Dr Peters.
"I was now in a position where I can say the welfare of the athlete was number one."
Asked whether Team Sky should have handled the case differently, Dr Peters said: "We could have reported it. We could have made a different decision. We'll never know in hindsight.
"I suppose if I'm looking at safety issues I did think there was a really big risk this lad would be pushed over the edge. I stand by my decision." | The 12-year-old boy shot by police in the US was told to show his hands three times by officers before they opened fire, a senior officer says.

When play finally got under way at 16:00 BST because of a wet outfield at Derby, visiting captain Joe Leach bowled Ben Slater in the first over.
Jack Shantry removed Shiv Thakor (23) and teenage paceman Josh Tongue tempted Wayne Madsen to edge behind for 11.
But 26-year-old Reece finished on 53 as Derbyshire closed on 111-3.
Meanwhile Derbyshire director of cricket Kim Barnett has revealed they will be without South African fast bowler Hardus Viljoen until the end of June with a hip injury.
"We had a meeting yesterday when it was decided he wasn't fully fit and I think he knew that. We just want him to do himself justice," Barnett said.
"It's no use him going out at 70% fit and not bowling to his standards so we must get him fully fit and healthy to do what he can do when he comes back."
Viljoen, 28, was expected to make his Derbyshire Championship debut, after featuring in five of their One-Day Cup group games.
Worcestershire batting coach Kevin Sharp:
"It was probably just about even. Our lads have been a bit unfortunate because they bowled quite well and perhaps on another day they would have got the nicks.
"It's a used pitch so there could have been an argument to say you want to bat first but there's been so much dampness over the last two days and since our One-Day Cup game here on Tuesday night the pitch has been pretty much covered up.
"We are all excited about Josh Tongue. He's a young man with a very good attitude, he's got a very good repetitive action, he hits the seam and he hits the splice which are all very good attributes to have." | Worcestershire took three early Derbyshire wickets, but opener Luis Reece fought back with an unbeaten half-century on a rain-hit opening day. | 39,976,731 | 398 | 37 | false |

Mr Parker, from Burton Pidsea, a former Hull FC under-16s captain, left the side earlier this year to start an apprenticeship course.
The Super League club said in a statement: "A talented hooker, he excelled from a young age captaining his school rugby team, helping South Holderness to the Year 11 National Cup Final.
"He also went on to captain East Hull and Hull FC's scholarship side, before his performances earned him international recognition with the England Youth squad.
"On behalf of everyone involved at Hull FC, we would like to pass on our deepest sympathy and condolences to the families involved in this tragic incident, and Brad's contribution to the club from a young age will never be forgotten."
A vigil has been held at the scene of the incident by the family and friends of the two men.
The 69-year-old driver of the Land Rover suffered minor injuries.
Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward.
The 19th-placed Brewers, one of the favourites to go straight back down to League One, are three points clear of the relegation zone after 19 games.
Clough told BBC Radio Derby he has mixed feeling about their progress.
"We would have taken it at the start of the season but we think we have played better than that," he said.
"For the chances we have created we haven't scored enough goals."
This week the 50-year-old passed 12 months as Brewers manager in his second spell in charge and said it had been a "good year".
He added getting to the stage they are at is no mean achievement given their budget and standing in their first season in the second tier of English football.
"We knew we would not be first choice on a lot of players' lists for where they wanted to play in the Championship," Clough added.
"Hopefully come January, and if we manage to stay up in the summer, that [signing players] will become an easier task.
"In the first 19 games people have seen us play and I think we have played a little bit better than people anticipated.
"If we can replicate the first 19 games and have 44 points after 38 games that would be a very good target and would gives us eight games to get to 50 points."
Clough had just over 10 years at the Brewers during his first stint, but left to take over as Derby County manager in January 2009.
The money was awarded as the region's hospitals were granted Biomedical Research Centre status, in what has been described as a "landmark moment".
It will be used to drive forward research into cancer, respiratory disease and other serious conditions.
Millions of people will benefit, the region's NHS trusts said.
In April, Greater Manchester became the first English region to gain control of its health spending as part of an extension of devolved powers.
Jon Rouse, chief officer of Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership, the body overseeing the devolution of the region's £6bn health and social care budget, said the funding was "hugely welcome".
"The new partnership approach under devolution means that we have both the opportunity - and the means - to combine the talents of people from a whole range of areas to benefit our population," he said.
He added that the grant was "recognition" that Greater Manchester can combine clinical skills with the best research and academic talent "to take huge steps in improving the health and wellbeing of our people".
The grant was awarded by the National Institute for Health Research following a joint bid from Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Trust, in partnership with The University of Manchester, The Christie NHS Trust, Salford Royal NHS Trust, University Hospital of South Manchester NHS Trust.
Sir Mike Deegan, chief executive of the central Manchester trust, said the £28.5m award would help find "new ways of preventing, predicting and treating some of the major causes of premature death and disability".
"Bringing together our research expertise has only been made possible by the unique connectivity which devolution provides."
They show that in 2014/15, businesses in the Belfast council area received £85m, more than twice as much as any other council.
That included support for large expansions by firms like Citibank and PwC.
The lowest amount of grant aid went to Causeway Coast and Glens, which received £2m.
Belfast also saw the highest number of jobs created at 2,678.
Ards and North Down had the lowest number of jobs created at 286.
The highest levels of grants and job creation were concentrated in the main commercial and industrial areas of Belfast, Armagh, Banbridge, Craigavon and Mid Ulster.
Derry and Strabane is fifth in terms of grants awarded and jobs created.
Full breakdown of figures:
The Local Government Association wants councils to be given control of careers advice to ensure teenagers "pursue the right course for them".
A report for the LGA suggests the teenage dropout rate costs the country £814m a year.
The government said its reforms were ensuring teenagers gained vital skills.
The LGA commissioned the Centre for Economic and Social Inclusion to analyse the latest figures which were for the year 2012-13.
The researchers combined dropout and failure figures on A-levels, apprenticeships and further education courses to give a total of 178,000 16 to 18-year-olds not completing their courses.
Of these, 92,000 students withdrew from schools, primarily from AS and A-levels; 24,200 did not complete apprenticeships or training courses and an estimated 61,900 withdrew from FE courses.
The teenagers at greatest risk of dropping out were apprentices, with a quarter not finishing, suggest the figures.
The authors note success rates both for AS and A-levels and FE courses have improved in recent years, with 16% of students dropping out of further education, 9% from individual AS-levels and 5% from individual A-levels.
This has contributed to a long-term fall in the total number of drop-outs, of 30% since 2006-7, they add.
Despite this they calculate 12% of all government spending on post-16 education and skills goes on "uncompleted" courses.
"For the young person it means coping with uncertainty and a sense of failure and with hard decisions about what to do next.
"For schools, the exchequer and the taxpayer there is the cost of providing education that does not result in a positive outcome."
The LGA says the current centralised approach to post-16 education does not allow schools and colleges to help teenagers find the right courses.
"Local councils, colleges, schools and employers know how to best help their young people and should have devolved funding and powers to work together to give young people the best chance of building careers and taking jobs that exist locally," said Cllr David Simmonds, chairman of the LGA's children and young people board.
The Association of Colleges said the reasons for young people not finishing their courses were "complex".
"Sometimes they get a job and therefore leave education," said AoC chief executive Martin Doel, but he agreed poor careers advice was a problem.
"This report shines a light on failing careers advice in this country.
"We would like to see the establishment of careers hubs in every local area supported by schools, colleges, universities, local councils, employers and Jobcentre Plus to ensure everyone has access to the high-quality impartial advice they deserve."
The government said its new independent careers and enterprise company would boost collaboration between schools and employers and give young people access to high quality advice and opportunities.
"We are reforming academic qualifications and vocational education to ensure young people get the knowledge and skills that they need to move into a job, apprenticeship or to continue their education," said a Department for Education spokesman.
The spokesman said the government had ring-fenced £7.2bn to ensure an education or training place for all under-18s, adding that the number of young people not in education, employment or training was at its lowest recorded level.
Around 300 people walked from the primary school to the harbour on Saturday afternoon.
An online petition against the proposed closure of the site has gathered more than 4,000 supporters to date.

A court in Palma ruled that the 50-year-old sister of King Felipe must stand trial in a case involving her husband's business dealings.
If found guilty, she could face a maximum of eight years in jail.
Princess Cristina has denied knowledge of the alleged embezzlement scam that also involves her husband and 16 other defendants. They all deny the charges.
The case was launched in 2010 and has become highly symbolic of perceived corruption among Spain's elites, including the royal family.
Last year, King Felipe stripped his sister and her husband Inaki Urdangarin of their titles, the Duke and Duchess of Palma de Mallorca.
Princess Cristina now lives in Switzerland, but remains the sixth in line to the Spanish throne and is the first member of the royal family to go on trial.
The princess's lawyers argued that as public prosecutors had refused to press charges against her, the counts should be dismissed.
But the three judges agreed to continue with the prosecution using the evidence filed by the the anti-corruption group, Manos Limpias, meaning "Clean Hands".
The charges relate to the real estate company Aizoon that she owned with her husband, a former Olympic handball medallist.
She is accused of making personal use of Aizoon funds for paying for clothes and dance lessons for the couple's children as well as work on the couple's Barcelona mansion, which reduced the firm's taxable profits.
Her husband is alleged to have used the non-profit Noos Institute sports foundation he ran as a vehicle to win falsely inflated contracts from regional government bodies, before channelling the money to personal accounts via tax havens.
Noos is alleged to have received more than €6m (£4.4m; $6.5m) of public money, most of it from the Balearic Islands and Valencia regional governments.
If found guilty, Mr Urdangarin could face 19 years and six months in jail.
Hearings into the case will resume next month in Palma.

Having opted to bat, Australia were reduced to 4-4 after four overs, Kiwi left-arm spinner Leigh Kasperek taking 3-2 in her first 12 deliveries.
All-rounder Ellyse Perry struck 42 from 48 balls as Australia mustered 103-8.
But Rachel Priest hit 34 from 27 balls and Susie Bates 23 as the Kiwis reached their target with 22 balls to spare.
"I am sure if we play the way we are, we can win it," said Bates. "If things go our way, we can win it. But we are not looking too far ahead."

The Australians, winners of the last three tournaments, were also beaten by the Kiwis in their opening group match of the 2014 World T20, but this was only their fifth defeat in 22 matches in the history of the event.
Edinburgh-born Kasperek, who appeared for Scotland against Ireland in the 2007 European Championship aged 15, claimed wickets with consecutive deliveries in her first over, both hoicked to the leg-side ring.
Perry had struck the only six of the Australia innings but was given out lbw with the final ball of the 17th over, when replays suggested it was missing the leg-stump.
In reply both New Zealand openers hit sixes, Bates with a glorious drive over long-off, as they raced to 58 in the eighth over before both departed in the space of 10 balls.
New Zealand, runners-up in the first two Women's World T20s, have now won three of their four WT20 meetings with Australia and maintained their 100% record in this year's event, having also beaten Sri Lanka and Ireland.
With only the top two in the five-team groups progressing, Australia next play on Thursday in Delhi against Sri Lanka, who have also won one and lost one thus far.
The man argued that circumcision would be in accordance with his religious beliefs.
But the boys' mother, who is separated from their father, disagreed.
At a Family Court hearing in Exeter, Mrs Justice Roberts said the boys, who are six and four, should first reach an age where they can make the decision for themselves.
The man had argued that it would be "in the children's best interests to allow them to be circumcised" in accordance with his "Muslim practice and religious beliefs".
His former partner "opposes that course until such time as the children have reached an age where they are competent to give consent to such a procedure," the judge added.
"There is no guarantee that these boys will wish to continue to observe the Muslim faith with the devotion demonstrated by their father, although that may very well be their choice.
"They are still very young and there is no way of anticipating at this stage how the different influences in their respective parental homes will shape and guide their development over the coming years."
Mrs Justice Roberts said she was deferring that decision "to the point where each of the boys themselves will make their individual choices once they have the maturity and insight to appreciate the consequences and longer-term effects of the decisions which they reach."
Millwall took the lead in the 33rd minute when Cooper bundled home a corner from close range - seconds after play was halted when Coventry fans threw tennis balls on to the pitch in protest at the club's owners.
The opening goal sparked Coventry into life following a dull opening half an hour that lacked any clear-cut chances.
The home side should have been level by half-time when Farrend Rawson put a header over the bar in the 39th minute, while Marcus Tudgay's curled effort went just over a minute later.
Millwall could have doubled their lead in the 54th minute when Lee Burge was beaten to the ball after racing out of his goal, but Morison's shot was deflected wide.
Despite Coventry's efforts to get back into the game, Morison eventually doubled Millwall's lead in the 79th minute by tapping in the rebound from Fred Onyedinma's shot.

The fish were found dead in the water at the weekend. It is thought that there have been two separate kills in the river.
In 2013, almost 5,000 fish were found dead after the river was polluted in a farm incident.
Ian Kittle, secretary of the Inler Angling Club, said it was devastating news.
"We are devastated, especially after the last fish kill in 2013," he said.
"The river was starting to recover and we had been busy restocking it. This incident is not as bad.
"But at the same time, we have lost juvenile fish and more. Our resident brown trout are dead and we also found a large sea trout that had been coming up from the lough to spawn."
Mr Kittle said he was first made aware of the fish kill on Friday evening.
There appeared to have been two separate kills, he said. One is upstream parallel to the Belfast Road, Comber. A lot of the dead fish are at the lower end of the river, under the new Comber bypass bridge.
A government department is investigating.
The gunner, 23, based at Suffolk's RAF Honington, vanished a month ago after a night out in Bury St Edmunds.
Officers have been scouring hedgerows and ditches between the A134 and A143 on the town outskirts.
Meanwhile, a retired police chief has said foul play cannot be ruled out as detectives continue to investigate a possible sighting of Mr Mckeague.
Suffolk Police said on Monday they were looking at a suspected sighting by a driver on the Hollow Road Industrial Estate.
The person in light clothes was spotted less than an hour after Mr Mckeague was last seen on CCTV walking alone and eating fast food in Brentgovel Street at about 03:20 BST on 24 September.
Police said a man in a black T-shirt with white writing on, who Mr Mckeague spoke to in Pizza Mama Mia on the morning he disappeared, has now been traced and spoken to.
Colin Sutton, a former Metropolitan Police detective chief inspector who worked on the Milly Dowler case and other high-profile inquiries, told BBC Radio Suffolk officers needed to focus on where Mr McKeague was last seen.
"His last sighting shows him going into an area where his only logical and reasonable way out is back past the same camera again," he said.
"You never give up hope in these cases, but the longer it goes on the more I would fear for what happened."
Officers are continuing to appeal for anyone who may have seen him in the early hours of 24 September and anyone who may have seen him since, or anyone with information about his whereabouts, to come forward.

The planet Saturn has 62 moons around it and Dione is the fourth largest at around 700 miles wide.
The space probe was almost 300 miles away when it captured the shots.
Cassini has been touring Saturn for 11 years and sending images back.
But these pics of Dione are extra special - they're the last the space probe will send of this moon.
Next year the probe will head through Saturn's rings and the year after it will be made to self-destruct.

Excalibur Steel UK Limited said its plans for the business were based on "re-engineering" the way it is run.
Excalibur is one of two possible buyers, the other is Liberty House.
Unions are concerned about job losses at the Tata plants, which include the country's biggest steel plant at Port Talbot in south Wales.
More than 4,000 people work at that site.
The current owner, India's Tata Steel, said this week it would begin looking at what prospective buyers of its loss-making UK business are prepared to offer after receiving letters of intent.
Tata is hoping for a quick sale.
It has connected with 190 potential bidders for the Port Talbot site, which is the biggest in the UK.
Tata has not publicly set a deadline for any deal, but has made it clear it cannot sustain its £1m-a-day losses indefinitely and does not want to prolong the uncertainty for workers and customers.
Excalibur said the reorganisation would be necessary as the current business was run as part of a far larger one, which had other plants in Europe.
It said in a statement: "The opportunity for greater efficiency involves evolving from a highly functional centralised business model, with significant fixed costs and overheads.
"This arises because the existing arrangements are based on a pan-European structure. Excalibur's proposals will see a migration towards leaner autonomous sub-business units. In the event Excalibur is successful in acquiring Tata's UK steel assets, this will inevitably take some time to achieve.
"Potentially this could affect up to 1,000 jobs across the entirety of the operation."
Roy Rickhuss, general secretary of the Community union said this was "worrying" for steelworkers, who were already facing uncertainty: "We have had no discussions with Excalibur about additional job losses.
"We await to see the details of their plans for the business and any implications for jobs."
The UK government has previously said it will consider taking a stake in any rescue plan for Tata's Steel's UK assets, which also include sites at Llanwern, Shotton and Trostre.
Wheater, 26, lost his place behind the stumps to Lewis McManus in June after former coach Dale Benkenstein was critical of a poor over rate.
He has since scored two County Championship centuries for the side.
"We've got to concentrate as a unit on staying up in Division One first," Wheater told BBC Radio Solent.
"That takes priority and then we will have a chat (about his role in the team) from there.
The former Essex player joined Hampshire in 2013 to take up the chance as a first-choice wicketkeeper.
Benkenstein, who left Hampshire by mutual consent in July, said too many extras and a poor over rate were behind the decision to replace Wheater with McManus.
He returned as a batsman after missing one game, striking a maiden first-class double century against Warwickshire before adding 102 in the current County Championship match against Nottinghamshire.
"All I can do is put runs on the board and run around like a headless chicken in the field," Wheater said. "It will be a question of sitting down and having an honest conversation and asking the coaching outfit where they see me and where I see Hampshire.
"There's no point having that conversation now as there's still a lot of cricket left to play this season."
The Association of Convenience Stores (ACS) came up with a total of £131m, based on estimates from 7,123 shops in England, Scotland and Wales.
The findings, seen by BBC Radio 4's You and Yours, show an average annual loss per store of £2,605.
Retailers say the police response is inadequate, with one store owner installing bicycle chains on fridges.
"It is possible that some companies have previously underestimated theft levels in their business," the ACS admitted to the BBC.
But it added: "A lot of businesses have seen their theft levels double."
Some of the Association's members are seeing lots of items stolen in one go.
That would help explain the discrepancy with government data.
While shoplifting in England and Wales is at its highest level on record, with a 5% rise last year to 349,296 reported incidents, those official figures do not reflect the value of goods stolen.
After losing £12,000 to theft last year, Coventry shopkeeper Paul Cheema told You and Yours he had resorted to desperate measures.
"One man took 32 packs of bacon and 20 packs of cheese," he said.
"So we put bicycle chains and doorbells on our fridges so every time a door opens an alarm sounds.
"We're also using social media to post pictures of suspects."
West Midlands Police told the BBC: "We take reports of shoplifting seriously and our figures show that we solve more than 50% of reported incidents in Coventry."
But Mr Cheema claims the police lack the resources to deal with the problem.
Some 71% of retailers surveyed by the ACS also said they were dissatisfied with the response of police to reports of theft.
"These guys have got inner coats and inner pockets, they do what they need to do," said Mr Cheema.
"There's a bigger picture behind this. They are not just nicking this amount of food to eat at home.
"Are the police to blame? There's only a few officers for the whole of this area. The government needs to do more to support local businesses."
ACS Chief Executive James Lowman shares the concerns of his members.
"Police forces are de-prioritising shop theft as they have so many other challenges. We think that's the wrong priority.
"Shop theft, for the most part, is either part of organised crime or due to alcohol and drug addiction. That's why it's really important that police do intervene."
The National Police Chiefs' Council defended its members' record on crime and urged shop owners to do more.
"We recognise the importance of listening to all businesses," the council's lead for business and retail crime, Craig Mackey, told You and Yours.
"A new National Business Crime Reduction Hub will work closely with all forces and businesses to reduce crime.
"We encourage all businesses to sign up to the their local policing Twitter accounts," he added.
The Home Office said it was also working with retailers to tackle the problem.
"Retail crime harms businesses, consumers and communities and has no place in a Britain that works for everyone," a spokesman said.
He added: "It is for individual forces to decide how to allocate resources."

Father-to-be Dean Clay, from Chandler's Ford, put on an accumulator bet and correctly predicted the outcome of 14 games over the weekend.
His win rested on a draw between Burnley and West Bromwich Albion, which came in while he was playing golf.
"I was on the 14th fairway when I heard a little bleep and saw it was 2-2 and about 20 minutes to go. My head went into a bit of a mush after that."
Thirteen of the games had been played on Saturday, but the decider was played on Sunday.
The 48-year-old Chelsea fan went to play golf as he was too nervous to watch the game.
"I played quite nicely at the start," he said, "but I was getting some updates.
"When it went to 2-0 to Burnley I thought 'well that's that then'.
"Then I saw West Brom had equalised right on half time."
After news of the draw Mr Clay, 48, left his phone in his bag.
"I just couldn't look at it anymore as it was injury time at that point."
He was on the 16th green when some friends who were aware of his bet "came rushing over jumping up and down".
He said: "Then I realised I'd won."
He went to the clubhouse where he needed a "stiff drink and a sit down".
He thought he had won £69,882 but when he walked into the betting shop on Monday he was told he had also won a bonus, making his total winnings £92,944.
"It's lucky that my wife and I were standing near the counter," he said, "as I think we both would have hit the deck at that point."
The Clays have a baby due in July and are in the process of buying a new home.
Mr Clay said: "The timing couldn't be a lot better."
East Lindsey District Council is building four new huts near Queen's Garden Square in Mablethorpe.
It is also removing 15 chalets on the South Promenade which are in poor condition and selling off the plots to the public with a 20-year lease.
All other council-owned beach huts in the town will be repainted.
The scheme was approved by the district council's planning committee.
Councillor Craig Leyland, portfolio holder for the economy, said: "Beach huts remain an important part of the seaside experience on our coast and the investment we're making in the new huts will mean they remain so for many years to come."
Osman Ali, 24, of Corbett Street, has been charged with six counts of raping a child under 13.
His arrest came after a report of child sexual exploitation was made on Tuesday, Greater Manchester Police said.
Mr Ali has been remanded into police custody and is due to appear before Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court later.
The Indomitable Lions took the lead at the end of the first half when Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa scored his first international goal.
Australia's captain Mark Milligan equalised from the penalty spot in the 60th minute after Alex Gersbach was brought down inside the box.
The draw makes it very unlikely that the African champions will progress to the next round.
They face Germany in their final group game in Sochi on Sunday while Australia play Chile at the same time in Moscow.
The Cameroonians have to beat the reigning world champions and hope other results go their way.
The Daily Mirror reported how a hacker demanded money in return for not publishing hacked emails between Beckham and PR adviser Simon Oliveira. Police are investigating.
The details of the emails have since been published by the British press.
A spokesman for ex-England captain Beckham, 41, said the emails were "hacked", "doctored" and "private".
The hacker is understood to be from Eastern Europe or one of the former Soviet republics.
Through a lawyer, the hacker approached Doyen Sports, which is based in Portugal and is a sister company of Doyen Global, the sports and entertainment agency co-founded by Mr Oliveira.
Doyen Sports was given a clear indication that the individual had hacked "other sports agencies and sport accountancy firms".
Those close to Beckham, the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star, said the individual was connected to the website Football Leaks - the sporting equivalent of whistle-blowing site Wikileaks.
Doyen Sports refused to pay and informed Portuguese police, who opened an investigation into the matter early last year.
Police in Portugal have confirmed to the BBC they are investigating a case related to Football Leaks.
It is understood the hacker passed his material to European Investigative Collaborations, a network of journalists, who spent several months digesting it, before distributing it to several European websites last week.
Tony Gallagher, editor-in-chief of the Sun newspaper, came across the allegations about Beckham last Friday evening on social media.
The newspaper printed the details of the emails on Saturday.
Emails Beckham had allegedly written appeared to reveal his frustration at missing out on a knighthood in 2013 and his irritation that other celebrities had received honours.
One allegedly said: "It is a disgrace to be honest and if I was American I would of got something like this 10 years ago."
There were also financial details of his work with the children's charity Unicef, of which he is an ambassador.
Beckham has not commented personally, but a spokesman for the star said: "This story is based on outdated material taken out of context."
Unicef said it could not comment on the emails, but in a statement said: "As well as generously giving his time, energy and support to help raise awareness and funds for Unicef's work for children, David has given significant funds personally."
The remains of Sgt David Harness Blakey, along with those of two others who have not been identified, were found in Thiepval in November 2013.
Sgt Blakey, from Gateshead, who served with the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, was 26 when he died on 1 July, 1916.
He was reburied, alongside the other two, at Connaught Cemetery in Thiepval.
The first day of the World War One battle was the bloodiest in the history of the British Army, with 20,000 men killed and 40,000 captured or wounded.
Following the discovery of the remains during a road-widening project, Sgt Blakey was identified via a home-made metal identity tag.
It is rare for fallen WWI soldiers to be identified from their tags, as they were commonly made from paper or compressed fibres, which rapidly decomposed.
Sgt Blakey is only the fifth in 10 years to be named using personal items.
The married father-of-three was born in Gateshead and became a miner before he enlisted in January 1915.
He rose to the rank of Sergeant and was serving with D Company, 11th Battalion, when he died, along with scores of others at the edge of Thiepval Wood.
In December 1916 he was awarded the Military Medal for "bravery in the field".
Following an appeal for family members, three generations of them attended the reburial.
Great-granddaughter Jackie Coleman said: "David's memory has been kept alive in our family since he went missing.
"This is a very special and fitting end to our search for him and one we will always treasure."
The two unknown soldiers, one from the Royal Irish Rifles and another from the Cambridgeshire Regiment, were also reburied.
It follows Friday's ransomware attack on NHS computers which affected 13 health bodies in Scotland.
There are fears of more cyber attacks as people begin work after the weekend, although few have been reported so far.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon told BBC Scotland that patient confidentiality had not been affected.
Speaking on BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme she said she expected computer networks "by and large" to be up and running on Monday morning, but urged organisations to follow government guidance and take appropriate security steps.
"The Scottish government has been coordinating a process over the weekend of contacting round about 120 public sector organisations to make sure that these messages have got out there strongly, but obviously private sector companies are potentially vulnerable as well," the first minister said.
"I think there is a concern that as people switch on their computers on a Monday morning we may see more impact from this virus, but we will be continuing to work as hard as we can to minimise that."
Across Scotland, the security breach disrupted GP surgeries, dental practices and other primary care centres.
Eleven area health boards were affected, as were NHS National Services and the Scottish Ambulance Service.
The impact of the breach was especially felt in NHS Lanarkshire, where doctors at acute hospital sites had to rely on pen and paper to process some patients.
The virus is known as Wanna Decryptor or WannaCry. It locks users' files and demands a $300 (£230) payment to allow access.
Ms Sturgeon said no patient data had been lost in the ransomware attack.
"One thing that is very important to stress is that there is no evidence that there has been any patient data compromised, so patient confidentiality hasn't been affected, but of course there will have been an impact on patients with some appointments cancelled," she said.
An investigation is under way to identify the cause of the attack and ministers are to convene an extraordinary meeting of the National Cyber Resilience leaders' board on Tuesday to review the response to the breach.
Ms Sturgeon said she was not aware of any ransoms being paid over the cyber attack but said that will be part of the police investigation.
A "range" of Windows operation systems are used by the NHS in Scotland and Ms Sturgeon said there is regular investment in cyber security.
She added: "We invest heavily in cyber resistance. The Scottish Government, in the NHS, invests round about £100m a year. NHS boards will collectively invest a similar amount.
"We expect systems, by and large, to be up and running today, obviously there will be ongoing work to learn lessons about what has happened."
Microsoft has said the cyber-attack - which has hit 150 countries since Friday - should be treated by governments around the world as a "wake-up call".
It blamed governments for storing data on software vulnerabilities which could then be accessed by hackers.
Some impact from Friday's attacks was still being felt on Monday morning.
The Scottish Prison Service said its email systems and website were down for a period of time as work was carried out to make them safe. They were later restored.
In the Borders, services at Hawick Health Centre were affected for a short time but are now running as normal.
NHS Highlands urged patients to attend appointments as planned. Problems with the radiology system in the Western Isles was affecting staff's ability to share images with mainland health boards.
GPs in the NHS Tayside area were among those hit by problems on Friday.
Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland, Dr Andrew Cowie from Hawkhill Medical Centre in Dundee, said: "They haven't got everything up and running yet, so it's going to be a bit of a difficult day.
"Incredibly, the NHS Tayside engineers have been in here for more than 20 hours over the weekend.
"We've lost all the data from Friday because we've gone back to the back-up on Thursday night, but we're able to see patients perfectly normally this morning."
Prof Bill Buchanan, an expert on computer security and cybercrime from Edinburgh Napier University, has warned that more investment is needed to stop systems being vulnerable to future attacks.
He told BBC Radio Scotland: "It is a large and complex infrastructure in the NHS and it is very difficult to defend.
"But really we need to start to invest in proper cloud-based systems which can lock down every computer that connects into the main network.
"We now have to realise that we have critical industries such as energy, transport, education, and they need to be as robust as anything you would find in the finance sector."

The Audi trio led the championship going into the penultimate race of the series in China, where third place was enough to secure the title.
It is 43-year-old McNish's first world title in his 25-year career.
"I've been waiting on this since 1985," said McNish. "I feel massively proud of what we've achieved this year."
The Dumfries driver is now the first British sports car world champion since Derek Warwick won the title in 1992.
I had three cracks at a world championship in karting, finishing third once, and that one hurt because I was close but no cigar. To finally crack it, it's third time lucky
Reigning champions Marcel Fassler, Andre Lotterer and Benoit Treluyer, the only team that could deny them the title, finished first in Shanghai in the other Audi.
But McNish, Kristensen, from Denmark, and Frenchman Duval had a 40.75-point lead going into the race, with only 52 points available in the final two legs of the series.
The Toyota of Nicolas Lapierre and Alexander Wurz, who had started first on the grid, came second.
McNish and his team-mates had qualified fourth but did enough to secure the title.
They have won three races in their R18 e-tron quattro - including Le Mans - and been runner-up on three occasions in the seven events so far.
"I had three cracks at a world championship in karting, finishing third once, and that one hurt because I was close but no cigar," said McNish.
"In Formula One, there wasn't really an opportunity, so to finally crack it, it's third time lucky.
"We came out of the blocks fighting at Silverstone and we had a really good run, especially at the Circuit of the Americas, which was a turning point for us because it allowed us to come here and drive a very conservative race.
"But right now, I've a massive warm feeling inside - and a very wet backside because of Mr Wurz pouring champagne down my back."
Toyota duo Wurz and Nicolas Lapierre, who had appeared for some time as if they would win the race, were forced to settle for second by 16 seconds to Fassler, Lotterer and Treluyer.
McNish and his crew would have finished fourth but for the second Toyota, driven by Anthony Davidson, Sebastian Buemi and Stephane Sarrazin, retiring from the lead in the penultimate hour when a bolt in the right-front suspension sheered.
Officers have identified the girl, found at Orrell Water Park in Wigan early on Saturday, as Ellen Higginbottom.
She had been reported missing on Friday after she failed to return home from Winstanley College, where she studied.
Greater Manchester Police said some of Ellen's friends had told them she had been last seen at the nature reserve.
Police said a post-mortem test concluded her death was caused by "multiple wounds to the neck".
Her disappearance was "extremely out of character", police have said.
Det Supt Howard Millington appealed for information, saying: "We have a clearer picture of what may have happened to Ellen, but we are still piecing together her exact movements in the lead-up to her death.
"Someone out there knows who did this, or they know it was them, and we will not stop until we find them and bring them to justice."
Police previously said there was a report two young women were followed by two men in the area on Thursday.
"Attacks of this severity are thankfully incredibly rare, but that in itself makes this all the more shocking," said Det Supt Millington, adding that "things like this don't happen in Orrell".

George North's try and five Leigh Halfpenny penalties gave Wales a handy 20-6 half-time lead, with Jean-Marc Doussain and Jules Plisson replying for France.
The second half was more closely fought but Louis Picamoles' sin-binning proved costly for France.
Soon after, Wales captain Sam Warburton stretched out an arm to score and seal victory for the defending champions.
Wales coach Warren Gatland had been so infuriated by their 26-3 loss in Ireland he had warned his players that some might be playing their last Test if they underperformed again.
But they responded magnificently, especially the two veterans at prop, Adam Jones and Gethin Jenkins - named man of the match, who scrummaged like demons against a hefty French front row.
If England can do Wales a favour by ending Ireland's unbeaten run on Saturday, the defending champions know they will travel to Twickenham in the next round with their fate still in their own hands.
Wales had suffered a setback before kick-off with lock Alun Wyn Jones, who captained the British and Irish Lions to victory in the third Test against Australia last summer, pulling out with a foot infection.
Wales were already without Jones's fellow Lion Jonathan Davies and Scott Williams, both centres, which saw North switched from wing to midfield.
But the biggest change by Gatland had been the decision to relegate 82-cap Lions scrum-half Mike Phillips to the bench in favour of Rhys Webb, winning his fifth cap.
(provided by Accenture)
While Gatland's side had won the previous two meetings between the sides, Wales had not won three in a row against Les Bleus since 1970-72 meaning the current crop have now equalled another record of that great side.
If Wales had any pre-match nerves, Halfpenny settled them with an early penalty before the full-back chipped ahead for North to score a try.
France full-back Brice Dulin got there just ahead of the Welshman, but was accidentally clattered by Doussain and the ball went loose for North to pounce.
Halfpenny missed the conversion but made amends with four more penalties before the break.
Doussain replied with one of his own but missed a sitter in front of the posts, so fly-half Plisson took over the kicking duties to add a second French penalty.
France were unlucky not to have claimed a try when Pascal Pape was up quickly on Rhys Priestland, but the ball went forward off his arm as he tackled the Wales fly-half.
Yannick Nyanga gathered the loose ball and sent it on to Yoann Huget, who skipped around Jamie Roberts to touch down only to be called back.
France coach Philippe Saint-Andre responded to the one-sided first half by replacing the misfiring Doussain with Maxime Machenaud at half-time.
Plisson had a chance to reduce the deficit early in the second half but was wide with a long-range attempt at the posts.
Full Six Nations table
The visitors did improve, though, and only a last-ditch tackle by Priestland brought down Mathieu Bastareaud short of the line.
Referee Alain Rolland lost patience with the number of collapsed scrums and took the unusual step of sending a prop from each side to the sin-bin - Jenkins and Nicolas Mas.
When Picamoles infringed at a ruck nine minutes later, as well as getting involved in a scuffle with the Welsh pack, Rolland also brandished a yellow card at the France number eight.
Wales took immediate advantage as Roberts blasted through midfield, allowing Warburton to pick up from the ruck and stretch over.
Halfpenny added the conversion to seal victory and send Wales in good heart and good form towards what could be a crucial clash away to England on Sunday, 9 March.

Mark Lafferty, 53 and his partner Adeline Clark, 41, brandished a knife and forced their way into the house in Baillieston last December.
They robbed a woman of £35 - then made their way upstairs and repeatedly stabbed a man and his elderly father.
The pair claimed they were elsewhere at the time but were found guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
The injured men were able to flee the house in Loancroft Place.
Lafferty and Clark, from Barlanark in Glasgow's east end, were convicted of attempting to murder 71-year-old Dennis McCowan and his son, Mark, 46.
They were also convicted of assaulting Christine McCowan, 68.
In evidence Mr McCowan senior described seeing Lafferty standing over his son's bed with a blade above his head in the attic of his house, and threw him downstairs.
The retired garage owner was then attacked by Clark who stabbed him in the chest and demanded cash.
Mark McCowan said he would have been "chopped up" if his father had not intervened.
Lafferty was remanded in custody ahead of a full committal hearing next week, while Clark was granted bail.
They said 43 others, including seven journalists, were injured after bombs exploded at the Dayah hotel - although there have been no official numbers.
Somali security minister Abdirizak Omar Mohamed earlier said four attackers had been killed by security forces.
The Islamist militant group al-Shabab has said it carried out the attack.
Eyewitnesses said the attackers used a vehicle laden with explosives to blast their way into the hotel, where members of parliament were believed to be staying.
Shortly after the first blast, another vehicle exploded, killing and wounding more people who had gathered in the area.
Survivors described how hotel residents hid under beds and others jumped out of windows to escape from the attackers.
Hassan Nur told the AP news agency: "They [the gunman] kicked down room doors and at some point posed themselves as rescue teams by telling those inside to come out, (only) to kill them.''
Police officer Colonel Abdiqadir Hussein told Reuters that security forces had later managed to secure the building.
"We have rescued the people and concluded the operation at Dayah hotel," he said.
"The security forces are now inside the hotel."
The hotel is located less than a mile from Somalia's presidential palace and is popular with dignitaries.
The attack comes at a time when the country is preparing for indirect elections where MPs are set to choose a president.
They made the call at a summit on tackling teacher shortages in northern and rural parts of Scotland.
In some areas, scores of posts are unfilled and adverts have been failing to attract suitable candidates.
Education Secretary Angela Constance addressed the conference, which was hosted by Aberdeen City Council.
She was asked to consider three "key priorities":
Aberdeen City Council leader Jenny Laing said they discussed their concerns about continuing to raise attainment while facing problems recruiting teachers.
Pupil numbers have increased but there has been "unprecedented low numbers" of applicants for teaching jobs, she added.
"We have made a huge effort to fill our teacher vacancies so we would ask that this is recognised and that going forward we can have a flexible and innovative approach to resolve the issues which if not addressed could have a major impact upon the education of many thousands of our children," she said.
The event had the backing of Aberdeenshire, Moray, Highland, Western Isles, Orkney Islands and Shetland Islands councils.
Ahead of the summit, Ms Constance told BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme that the Scottish government had increased the number of university places available for the fourth consecutive year as part of a bid to tackle the problem.
She said: "That's an increase of more than 1,100 places and that is targeted at the areas most in need.
"So we will target places at the University of Aberdeen and the University of the Highlands and Islands."
The challenges facing some councils in the north of Scotland recruiting teachers touch on several issues.
One is a challenge faced by many employers in rural and remote areas - finding suitably-qualified applicants for skilled, professional jobs.
The bulk of people from rural areas who become teachers leave home aged around 18 to begin their studies. Inevitably many might not want to return, at least while they are in their 20s.
The problem here is age-old. Some call it rural depopulation, others the brain drain.

Ms Constance added: "The Scottish government has funded the University of Aberdeen in terms of a part-time distance learning post graduate diploma in education.
"That has enabled local authorities to develop the skills of their existing staff, for example classroom assistants, and enabled people to both study and work.
"And the distance learning initial teacher education programme has resulted in additional primary school teachers this year of 19 and in 2016 an addition of 15."
Seven directors of education attended the summit, along with officials from the Scottish government and the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS).
The aim was to understand the root causes of teacher shortages and identify solutions at a national and local level.
When details of the summit were announced last month councils said the challenge had been recruiting and retaining "sufficient numbers of high-quality teachers to provide the best possible education" for pupils.
Councils have already tried individual initiatives to ease the problem.
In 2013, Aberdeenshire Council sent staff to Canada and Ireland to try to recruit new teachers.
Last year, Aberdeen City Council offered to pay the tuition fees of staff who want to become primary school teachers in a bid to tackle the shortage.
And in August, the first teachers took advantage of an offer of free accommodation for six months to teach in Moray.
Last week the Scottish government launched its #inspiringteachers campaign at the Scottish Learning Festival in Glasgow.
It aims to attract more young people into teacher training with a focus on science, technology, engineering and maths.
The £43,000 device allows Claire Lomas to walk by detecting shifts in her balance.
Mrs Lomas, from Eye Kettleby near Melton Mowbray, was paralysed from the chest down when she broke her back in a horse-riding accident in 2007.
The 32-year-old crossed the finish line at 12:50 BST - 16 days after starting the race with 36,000 other people.
She was met by cheering onlookers and a Pearly King and Queen as she walked beneath an arch of red balloons.
Mrs Lomas said: "It was really emotional and I couldn't believe the support - I'm still in shock really.
"The last half a mile or so was pretty easy to walk because I had everyone just pushing me forward," she said.
"I've had a really good group with me and it would have been impossible without them."
So far she has raised about £80,000 for Spinal Research, a charity which funds medical research around the world to develop treatments for paralysis caused by a broken back or neck.
Mrs Lomas walked about two miles a day to complete the course, accompanied by her husband Dan, mother Joyce and 13-month-old daughter Maisie.
Organisers have been criticised for insisting that Mrs Lomas would not appear in the official results or receive a medal for finishing, as rules state competitors must complete the course on the same day.
The 32-year-old broke her neck, back and ribs and punctured a lung when her horse threw her off as she took part in the Osberton Horse Trials in Nottinghamshire.
The 21-year-old will compete in the 60m hurdles after he was included in the Great Britain squad for the trip to Belgrade, Serbia on Friday.
"Colin was an incredible athlete, all you have to do is look at the medals he won in his career," Omoregie said.
"I'm going to keep progressing and see where I go, really."
Omoregie told BBC Radio Wales: "I am not Colin Jackson but he is a good role model for me with the fact that he is the same stature as myself.
"I have ran pretty close to the senior hurdle times he ran as a junior so for me it's always a target and if I can get there and get to the level Colin achieved, then that will be amazing."
Jackson held the world 110 metres record for a decade and he still holds the 60 metres hurdles record of 7.30 sec.
After running a personal best time of 7.63 seconds in the 60m hurdles twice this season, Omoregie is looking forward to competing in the European Indoor Championships.
"The hurdles are a very competitive event and there are 10 athletes who have gone sub 7.6 seconds which is a very good level in terms of the European Championships," he said.
"For me, I'm just going to go out there enjoy the experience and hopefully try and execute a good race and put myself in a good position to compete out there."
Omoregie revealed he has his own motivation for qualifying for the 2017 Athletics World Championships in London as the outdoor season approaches after just failing to qualify for the Olympics last summer.
"Missing out on Rio last year has motivated me and I'm really desperate so I'm going to do everything I can in my power to try and get myself on the team [for the 2017 World Championships]," he added.
"It's such a great opportunity to compete at a home championships, I don't know how many times you can get that as an athlete so I want to put myself in the best position to get there."
It does not have enough oil refineries and even if the four it has were running at full capacity, they would only supply a quarter of the country's needs, says John Ashbourne, an economist at the financial research firm Capital Economics.
To meet demands, the national oil company imports around 50% of its fuel needs. The remainder is then supposed to be imported by private fuel distributors.
But for months these companies have been reducing their imports leading to the current fuel shortages.
The BBC's Nigeria correspondent Martin Patience looks at three reasons why:
For years, the Nigerian government paid a fuel subsidy to make it cheaper at the pump. But it was hugely expensive when the price of oil was high.
The current government, which came to power last May, said it inherited massive debts from the previous administration.
Fuel distributors were initially left out of pocket.
Finally, the government paid the bill in November. But by that time, companies had already started slowing fuel imports.
The slump in global oil prices is hammering the Nigerian economy.
It has led to a shortage of the US dollars needed to pay for imports.
With the country facing a currency crisis, the distributors are struggling to get their hands on dollars to pay for fuel imports.
They say they are being forced to use the black market where they pay a far higher rate.
In January, the government ended official fuel subsides saying the cost of oil had fallen so much that they were no longer required.
But the fuel distributors disagree.
In protest, some companies stopped selling fuel during this dispute.
As the shortages increased, others hiked their prices above the official government rate - leading to accusations of profiteering.
Some analysts predict that until the fuel subsidy is reintroduced or official retail rates are allowed to rise, distributors will continue to limit the supply.
And for Nigerian motorists that could mean the long wait at the pumps will go on.
Travis Hackett, 13, joined the players on the pitch and then watched the Foxes beat Sunderland 2-0.
The teenager from San Diego has said the club's Premier League triumph helped him through his treatment.
The visit to Leicester was organised by aUS charity the Craig Willinger Fund that arranges football trips for young people with cancer.
Travis was told just hours before the match he would be leading the side out, having learnt last month he would be watching the match.
"We got there and they told him he was going to be a mascot and that amazed him," Johanna Agueda from the charity said.
"He told me himself that he was most excited about being able to go on the pitch... that was a unique experience.
"We were near Sunderland's fans but then they came and whisked us up to the director's box so Leicester City Football Club really stepped it up for us."
Travis is in the maintenance stage of his treatment and is considered to be cancer free, but will continue with chemotherapy until next year.
His interest in Leicester City began in 2014-15 when the Foxes went on a winning run to avoid relegation.
The MK I Supermarine Spitfire N3200 crashed during the evacuation of Dunkirk on 26 May 1940.
It was bought by an American collector after being discovered in the 1980s and was donated to Duxford museum near Cambridge after experts restored it.
A second unearthed Spitfire P9374 could fetch £2.5m at auction later.
It was owned by the same collector and is being sold at Christie's Exceptional Sale in London.
It was also restored at the Cambridgeshire museum and proceeds from the sale are going to the RAF Benevolent Fund and Oxford University's Wildlife Conservation Research Unit.
The pair are the only MK I Spitfires in the world to have been restored to original specification and can fly.
During the visit to the former home of RAF Duxford, the duke watched an air display by the MK I fighter, sat in its cockpit and visited the site's Battle of Britain exhibition - contained in the hangar where No. 19 Squadron's Spitfires were housed during the war.
The visit marks the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, which began on 10 July 1940 and lasted until October while Britain saw off the threat of the German airforce.
The N3200, which originally flew out of RAF Duxford, shot down a Junkers JU 87 Stuka dive bomber before crash landing on Sangatte beach on 26 May 1940.
The P9374, flown by No. 92 Squadron at RAF Croydon, was shot down two days earlier at Calais, but both were never found until strong tides exposed them on the beaches during the 1980s.
They were bought by American entrepreneur and philanthropist Thomas Kaplan and after findings parts on sites including eBay, both were restored at Duxford over a number of years. | An ex-Hull FC and England Youth rugby league player was one of two men killed in a car crash in East Yorkshire.

In a Washington State lawsuit, Indian firm iYogi is accused of using scare tactics to mislead consumers.
It is also accused of falsely claiming affiliation to Microsoft, Apple and HP.
The firm has denied the allegations, describing them as "false" and "baseless".
"While we are yet to receive the complaint through formal channels, based on our assessment of media reports we would like to firmly state that the allegations are false or baseless," said iYogi's co-founder Vishal Dhar in a statement to the BBC.
"We recognise that tech support frauds are a real issue in the US and, as a responsible industry leader, we have been working with authorities... to counter the issue."
He said that his firm would "do what is necessary" to see the case through "to its rightful end".
Attorney General Bob Ferguson alleged that "hundreds, if not thousands" of Washington residents had been affected by what he described as iYogi's "unfair and deceptive" tactics, which he claimed violated Washington's consumer protection and computer spyware laws.
He is seeking $2,000 (£1,340) in civil penalties for each violation of the Consumer Protection Act and $100,000 per violation for the Computer Spyware Act.
Microsoft's chief legal officer Brad Smith attended a news conference announcing the lawsuit and applauded the state for its efforts to "protect consumers from tech support scams that have reached epidemic levels in recent years".
He said that his firm had received more than 180,000 customer calls regarding tech support fraud.
Microsoft estimates that 3.3 million Americans lose about $1.5bn annually from tech support scams.
Such scams tended to disproportionately affect "the most vulnerable segments of our society", he said, adding that tech support scams "have become a scourge on the internet".
iYogi has more than 5,000 employees based at call centres in India. It says it serves more than three million customers across 11 countries.
As part of its investigation the Attorney General's Office (AGO) alleged that iYogi used the following tactics:
The AGO also offered advice to avoid tech support scams:
iYogi was earlier this year praised by US politicians when it set up a global centre in Maine, employing 300 people.
At the time, Maine Governor Paul R LePage said that it was "encouraging" that iYogi was outsourcing jobs to America.
The asylum-seekers, from Sri Lanka and the Philippines, housed Mr Snowden for two weeks when he fled the US after leaking thousands of files.
A government spokesman said that there were no substantial grounds for believing that the claimants would face danger in their home countries.
The group, who are also seeking asylum in Canada, have 14 days to appeal.
The asylum-seekers - a Sri Lankan couple with two children, a Sri Lankan man and a Filipino mother with a daughter - were introduced to Edward Snowden by their lawyer, Robert Tibbo.
He brought him to their homes in 2013 just after the former National Security Agency contractor revealed he had leaked classified information to the press revealing widespread US government surveillance.
The identity of the group, who sheltered him for about two weeks, only became public shortly before the release of an Oliver Stone film about the whistleblower.
"We now have less than two weeks to submit appeals before the families are deported," Mr Tibbo said, calling the decision "completely unreasonable".
There are currently 8,956 asylum seekers in Hong Kong awaiting a decision on their case, according to the Immigration Department.
But the territory only recognised 72 people as refugees between 2009 and December 2016, the South China Morning Post reported in February.
Most spend years in limbo waiting for the government - which is not a signatory to the UN refugee convention, but considers claims for protection on the grounds that those sent home could be tortured - to process their case.
The lawyers for the asylum seekers believe they are being treated unfairly by the Hong Kong government.
The proof? They say the four adults all arrived in Hong Kong at different times, submitted their applications separately and made different claims. Their asylum cases had little in common.
Instead what unites them is that they all fed and sheltered Edward Snowden.
Their main lawyer, Robert Tibbo, told me the fact that all the cases were activated and decided at the same time suggested his clients were singled out because of their relationship with Mr Snowden.
Another one of their lawyers, Marc-Andre Sequin, said their cases had been expedited because their plight had drawn attention to the "embarrassing" way in which Hong Kong treated asylum seekers.
A spokesman for the Hong Kong government denied these accusations.
Marc-Andre Seguin, a Canadian lawyer representing the group in their Canadian application, told RTHK that "clearly there is targeting here and our clients have reason for concern".
Two of the Sri Lankan refugees say they are being illegally pursued by police from their own country who travelled to Hong Kong in late 2016. Sri Lankan police have denied the allegations.
In a statement, the government spokesman said claims the Immigration Department targeted "any particular claimants or categories of claimants is unfounded and not true".
"All claims are screened under the same procedures and requirements, and ImmD [the Immigration Department] has all along been handling each non-refoulement claim professionally in a fair, impartial and efficient manner."
More than 7,800 people were killed in the disaster on 25 April, and thousands more were injured.
An appeal was launched last month by the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC), which which is made up of 13 UK aid charities.
A total of £47m has been raised across the UK. The funds will be used to bring aid to an estimated 310,000 people.
It will help with emergency supplies, including food, shelter, water and sanitation kits.
DEC said it was working in some of the worst-affected parts of the country.
Neil Mathers, chairman of the Scottish appeal, said: "Despite the immense challenges facing those affected and relief efforts, the response continues to grow day by day.
"We are now delivering more aid to some of the worst-affected areas, and our members are expanding their efforts into remote regions."
He said teams were working round the clock to provide aid.
"A huge amount of work remains to be done before the monsoon rains make the response even more difficult and the risk of disease outbreaks increase," he added.
"The overwhelming generosity people in Scotland, and indeed all over the UK, will help families get through the next few months and rebuild their lives over the coming years."
Donations to the appeal are being accepted via the DEC website and the 24-hour donations line 0370 60 60 900.
Jodie Rogers was fatally injured when the BMW hit her in Park Street, Grimsby at 16:25 BST on Friday.
Jodie was taken to hospital in Grimsby before being transferred to Leeds General Infirmary where she later died.
The BMW driver, a 35-year-old local man, arrested on suspicion of driving whilst unfit through drink or drugs, has been released on bail.
People in the Crown dependencies of the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey could not vote as none of them are in the EU.
But those in Gibraltar, a British overseas territory, were given a vote and overwhelmingly voted to remain.
Mr Bell said the referendum marked the "start of a journey into the unknown for both the UK and the Isle of Man".
"This situation is without precedent," he added, noting that the UK's withdrawal "will have a significant impact" on the island.
The result means the Isle of Man will now have to seek a replacement for its Protocol 3 relationship with the EU, which allows free trade in manufactured goods and agricultural products.
Mr Bell said the Isle of Man was "well-prepared" but acknowledged the "need to work closely with UK politicians to ensure we understand the UK's direction of travel, and that they understand the implications for us.
"It will be vital that our interests are not overlooked."
Earlier this year Lord of the Rings star and Isle of Man resident John Rhys-Davies launched a petition demanding the right to vote in the EU referendum for those living in British Crown dependencies.
The 71-year-old said the referendum was "one of the most important [and] constitutionally significant events in recent times".
Hubert Zafke appeared in court in Neubrandenburg in north-eastern Germany accused of assisting in the killing of 3,681 people at the Auschwitz death camp.
The indictment covers one month, from 15 August to 14 September 1944.
The Nazis killed about 1.1m people in Auschwitz, most of them Jews.
Shortly before the pre-trial hearing began, Hubert Zafke was given a medical check to determine under what conditions the trial could take place.
On three previous occasions the trial has been postponed. His defence has argued he suffers from poor health, high blood pressure and suicidal thoughts.
According to the indictment, the SS medic served for several weeks in the summer of 1944 in the medical unit at Auschwitz during World War Two.
Hubert Zafke denies the charges, arguing he treated only wounded soldiers and members of the SS.
Prosecutors say that, like other SS guards at Auschwitz, Mr Zafke was well aware of the camp's function as "an industrial-scale mass murder site". According to the indictment, thousands of people died while he was there.
Teenage Jewish girl Anne Frank arrived at Auschwitz-Birkenau during the period covered by Hubert Zafke's indictment. She died in another camp, at Bergen-Belsen, shortly before it was liberated by the British Army in 1945.
The chances of securing convictions for the last surviving Nazis have become harder as the remaining defendants are all now in their nineties.
In June, a German court sentenced former Auschwitz guard Reinhold Hanning, 94, to five years in jail for being accessory to the murder of at least 170,000 people.
But a state court in the northern city of Kiel ruled on Friday that a 92-year-old woman, Helma M, was unfit to stand trial on charges of being accessory to 260,000 counts of murder. She was the SS radio operator for the commandant at Auschwitz.
Time is running out to bring remaining Nazis to justice. Even those convicted rarely go to jail as every case is delayed by ill health and the slow course of justice.
Reinhold Hanning's five-year sentence this year is likely to wind up at Germany's federal court of justice in Karlsruhe, in the same way as a four-year jail term handed down to so-called "Book-keeper of Auschwitz" Oskar Groening, 95, in 2015.
Some Nazi trials will never even start, as with the case against Ernst Tremmel, who died in April a week before he was due in court.
It was only in 2011 that German prosecutors were given the green light to put suspects on trial without evidence of direct involvement in killings.
Sobibor death camp guard John Demjanjuk was given five years in jail for helping in the murder of 28,000 Jews. He died in a nursing home in 2012 while still fighting the conviction.
How the Holocaust unfolded, year by year
Why did ordinary people commit atrocities in the Holocaust?
Chris Urmson told a Senate hearing that the US Transport Secretary should be given authority over the matter rather than leaving it to individual states.
He also reiterated his company's view that it would be safer if passengers were not able to override a vehicle's autonomous systems.
That contrasts with the view of California's regulator.
The state's Department of Motor Vehicles published draft rules in December that said a trained human must still be able to take control.
Mr Urmson noted that 23 states had now set a total of 53 pieces of legislation relating to self-driving vehicles, some of which are at odds with each other.
"We currently face a growing patchwork of state laws and regulations on self-driving cars that has the potential to become unworkable," Mr Urmson said.
"If every state is left to go its own way, it would be extremely impractical to operate an autonomous vehicle across state boundaries."
His view was supported at the Senate Commerce Committee by the pick-up service Lyft, which has partnered with General Motors to develop their own driverless cars.
"The worst possible scenario for the growth of autonomous vehicles is an inconsistent and conflicting patchwork of local, municipal and county laws that will hamper efforts to bring autonomous vehicle technology to market," said Joseph Okpaku, Lyft's director of public policy.
"Regulations are necessary, but regulatory restraint and consistency is equally as important if we are going to allow this industry to reach its full potential."
The risks posed by self-driving cars in their existing state were highlighted last month when one of Google's cars caused a collision with a bus in Santa Clara, California.
One robotics expert at the hearing urged the senators to resist pressure to permit the public to use self-driving cars too soon, and said the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) should take greater leadership over tests in the meantime.
Prof Missy Cummings from Duke University added that she thought that the "self-driving car community" had been "deficient" in the way it had carried out its experiments to date.
"I perceive [there] to be a rush to field systems that are not ready for widespread deployment," she explained.
"[One issue] is operation in bad weather, including standing water on roadways, drizzling rain, sudden downpours and snow.
"Coupling these limitations with the inability of self-driving cars to follow a traffic policeman's gestures - especially on a rainy day in a poncho - means self-driving cars should not really be operating near elementary schools at this time.
"Another major problem with self-driving cars is their vulnerability to malevolent or even prankster intent. For example, it is relatively easy to spoof the GPS of self-driving vehicles, which involves hacking into their systems and driving them off course.
"Additionally, recent research has shown that a $60 [£42] laser device can trick self-driving cars into sensing objects that are not there."
Prof Cummings also took aim at Mr Urmson's statement that Google's self-driving cars had now travelled 1.4 million miles (2.25 million km) on the roads, noting that New York's taxi cab fleet went further in little over a day.
She suggested that 275 million miles must be driven fatality-free before self-driving cars could be said to be safer than human-controlled vehicles. In the meantime, Prof Cummings said companies needed to be more transparent about the tests they carried out.
One of the tech firms responded by highlighting that self-driving vehicles employed multiple sensors at the same time.
"Each of those technologies has strengths and weaknesses," explained Delphi's Glen Devos.
"In some cases vision or Lidar [a laser-based system] may be compromised by weather, but radar is very strong in weather.
"It's absolutely true that sensors have strengths and weaknesses, but by combining those sensors you end up with a much more capable package, certainly with greater perception capability than an individual [human] driver relying on vision alone."
One of the senators raised the prospect that the US could fall behind other countries if it did not heed Google's warning and come up with a single set of rules.
"We were the first to introduce legislation permitting the testing of autonomous vehicles, but other countries are now clearly leapfrogging over us by offering more flexibility to companies to test this technology," said Senator Cory Booker.
"The UK, for example, is rapidly moving forward... and Japan has allowed Nissan and Toyota to test their vehicles there since 2013.
He added: "If the [current regulatory regimes] were around at the time of the Wright brothers, we would have never got off the ground in exploring air travel."
The Chancellor of the exchequer George Osborne is expected to confirm on Wednesday an expansion of the UK's self-driving tests by allowing computer-controlled lorries to share a stretch of motorway with the public later this year.
Pulse magazine said money had also gone on horse riding, art classes, massage, and, in one case, a summer house.
The budgets were brought in to give people in England with long-term conditions more control and choice over their healthcare and support.
NHS England said all spending had to be agreed with the health service.
Patients decide with medical professionals how the money from their personal budget should be spent.
It can be used on services such as therapies to help with depression, and assistance with personal care such as dressing and washing.
Pulse, a magazine for GPs, used the Freedom of Information Act to find out how personal health budgets were spent in England in 2014-15.
Full responses were obtained from 33 clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) out of 209.
The British Medical Association said it continued to have real reservations about the scheme and "the inappropriate use of scarce NHS money on non-evidence based therapies".
Dr Richard Vautrey, deputy chairman of its general practitioners' committee, said: "While individuals may themselves value a massage or summer house, others will understandably start to question why they can't also have such things paid for by the state - and that will just fuel demand."
Nigel Praities, editor of Pulse, said readers of the magazine had reacted to the story with "dismay".
He said: "Doctors have to follow the evidence, they have to make sure everything they do is effective. To see in other areas of the NHS money maybe being spent on things that doesn't have such evidence behind it, particularly at a time when the NHS is trying to save lots of money, is hard to swallow."
Mr Praities added that the problem with the funding was that it "may give a lot of choice to a small number of patients but actually, overall, it might actually reduce choice".
Simon Duffy, from The Centre for Welfare Reform think tank which came up with the idea of personal health budgets, said the money is meant to be spent in less conventional ways.
"There would have been no advantage in people carrying on spending the money exactly as the NHS used to spend the money."
He said personal health budgets made up a tiny percentage of NHS spending and was assessed and approved by health professionals.
"You cannot simply turn up to your GP and ask for a summer house."
Malcolm Royle's family decided a care home would not be right for him after he developed dementia symptoms in 2005.
They used a personal care budget of £46,000 to devise their own care plan, which allowed him to live at home until he died in April.
One of the items they bought him was a Sky+ box.
Mr Royle's son, Colin, said: "It might seem quite an unusual item to purchase with NHS money but it was a great success and the outcomes were terrific.
"We were able to record all of his favourite television programme and play them at times of day that suited him as well.
"We could also fast forward adverts. These caused him a lot of anxiety."
He added the Sky+ box had ultimately helped to "stimulate" his father and reduce his anxieties.
A spokesman for NHS England said: "Personal health budgets are designed to meet identified health needs in ways that give patients more control over the care and support they receive.
"The spending must be agreed between the individual and the NHS, meet the patient's individual health needs and achieve the desired outcomes.
"An independent evaluation has shown that personal health budgets are cost effective, help people manage their health and improve quality of life."
The ambush, which took place on Saturday in north-eastern Borno state, led to a clash in which one soldier and at least five militants were killed.
Army chief Gen Tukur Buratai took up his post in July after the president sacked the heads of the military for failing to end Boko Haram's insurgency.
Boko Haram began fighting for an Islamic state in the north in 2009.
At least 17,000 people have been killed since then, according to Amnesty International.
Gen Buratai was visiting troops in Borno state when his convoy was ambushed about 45km (28 miles) east of the state capital, Maiduguri, an army spokesman said.
Nigeria's Premium Times reported that an advance section of the convoy had been targeted, and that Gen Buratai had later ordered the convoy to stop so that suspects could be arrested.
Boko Haram has lost territory in recent months to a multinational force that includes troops from Nigeria's neighbours. But the militant group has stepped up its campaign since President Muhammadu Buhari took office in May.
Mr Buhari, a former army general, has given his new military chiefs a three-month deadline to defeat Boko Haram.
News of the ambush in Borno emerged on Sunday as UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was due to arrive to mark the fourth anniversary of a Boko Haram attack on the UN building in the capital, Abuja.
Why Boko Haram remain a threat
Who are Boko Haram?
More than 800 suspected cases of the mosquito-spread disease have been reported across the Darfur region since the outbreak began in October.
The virus, which can cause jaundice and kidney failure, has killed 168 people.
The World Health Organization's Anshu Banerjee said few people in Sudan were immune to it and an emergency mass vaccination campaign was now under way.
The first phase of the immunisation programme began on 21 November, to cover 2.2 million people, and the second phase is planned for this month, to cover an additional 1.2 million people at risk.
Dr Banerjee said another 2.2m doses of the vaccine were expected to arrive soon.
"This should be enough to protect the population in Darfur that is at risk and stop it spreading to the rest of Sudan," he said.
He said some other African countries, like Cameroon, had also reported some cases of yellow fever recently, but unlike Sudan, many of these already include the yellow fever vaccine in their childhood immunisation programmes.
"There's been no such vaccine campaign in Sudan for decades. It's because of priorities. Sudan recently identified itself as a high-risk country for a yellow fever outbreak and had conditional approval to begin a vaccination campaign.
"Unfortunately the outbreak hit before this could happen.
"This is the worst outbreak we have seen globally in 20 years or more."
British International Development Secretary Justine Greening said the UK government had contributed £1.8m ($2,9m) towards the vaccination campaign to stop it becoming a "nationwide epidemic".
In Darfur, the disease has spread following nomadic migration routes across the region.
At the moment, yellow fever is mostly restricted to rural areas. However, there is a risk that it will spread to urban areas including the camps that house up to two million people who fled their homes because of the Darfur conflict.
Yellow fever is endemic in tropical regions of Africa and South America.
A vaccine can prevent infection but there is no specific drug treatment for people who are infected.
In its most severe form it causes bleeding, jaundice and possible liver and kidney failure.
The grant of £973,000 has been given to Wildcat Action - which involves more than 30 organisations, community groups and landowners.
Over the next five years it will focus on tackling the decline of wildcats in six recently identified priority areas.
The work is a key part of delivering the national Scottish Wildcat Conservation Action Plan.
This will involve working with local communities to deliver benefits for the species.
The project will tackle long-term risks which involves raising awareness of wildcats and the threats they face.
It will provide training in wildcat surveys and wildcat-friendly land management practices, and involve schools and community projects in learning about wildcats and responsible domestic cat ownership.
The work will also co-ordinate neutering and vaccination of feral cats and will monitor the wild-living cat populations through an extensive network of trail cameras.
The project plans to work with land managers and local volunteers to deliver much of the work.
Colin McLean, head of the Heritage Lottery Fund in Scotland, said: "We have some incredible native wildlife in Scotland but our species and habitats are under constant threat.
"We are delighted to see such a strong partnership working together for the good of this iconic Scottish species.
"We hope that with the Heritage Lottery Fund grant announced today, communities across the country will be inspired and empowered to safeguard the existence of these rare creatures."
Rhoda Grant, Highland and Islands Labour MSP and wildcat champion, said: "I am delighted that the Heritage Lottery Fund has awarded this grant for taking forward the conservation action plan in the six priority areas identified, four of which are within the Highland and Moray areas that I represent.
"The work being done by all those involved in the action plan to ensure the survival of the wildcat is to be commended.
"The determination of the group is heartening and I know this money will be put to good use. It is a privilege to champion this beautiful species, which is very much a part of our heritage."
Ron Macdonald, director of policy and advice at Scottish Natural Heritage, said: "We are thrilled to receive the support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the partner organisations and other contributors to the project.
"We now have the package in place that will hopefully safeguard wildcat populations in these six priority areas."
Alex Hogg, the Scottish Gamekeepers' Association chairman, said: "We have already done work in terms of wildcat identification with our members and, due to their practical knowledge, gamekeepers can be very useful in wildcat conservation in terms of trapping, field skills and the sighting of cameras, all of which will be useful in the ongoing effort."
The Heritage Lottery Fund money will be matched by contributions from the project partners, bringing the total project to £1.95m over five years.
The wildcat priority areas are the Angus Glens, Strathbogie (near Huntly), Morvern, northern Strathspey, Strathavon and Strathpeffer.
He and his mother were allegedly tricked into boarding the minibus taxi before she was assaulted and ordered to hand over her bank card and PIN number by the three armed occupants.
It is thought to be the latest in a string of attacks by the gang.
The first reports of the "rape taxi" were made a year ago.
According to the Roodeport Record, the initial attacks happened in March 2016, with at least three taking place in one week last June. All took place in, or near, the Johannesburg township of Soweto.
But it is unclear how many attacks there have been in the last 12 months, or if they are all by the same gang.
Lt-Col Lungelo Dlamini told the BBC: "A group of three to four men driving in two separate [Toyota] Quantums, one grey and another white, pick up women pretending to be a taxi, rob them at gunpoint and then proceed to rape them."
Mr Dlamini said it was not known whether the two Quantums were working separately or together.
So far, two women - including the mother - have talked to local media in South Africa, describing their ordeals.
The second woman told Kaya FM how a man who had found her after she was attacked had helped another two potential victims he found in the same spot.
She also said the gang had been carrying a card machine, according to Africa News Network.
Both women were picked up during the day, the mother at 11:00, and the lone woman at 08:00.
After the mother and son entered the taxi, the boy was made to lie face down on the floor, while the men raped his mother.
The victim told EyeWitness News she had prayed during her ordeal that the gang would not hurt her child.
South Africa has some of the highest rates of reported rape in the world.
Fire crews were called out at about 06:00 GMT to the property, on Bradda Road in Port Erin.
It is thought the blaze, which started in the lounge, was caused by a faulty oil boiler.
A spokesman from the fire and rescue service said a man was treated by paramedics at the scene and a woman was taken to hospital.
Universal, the film company behind the movie, confirmed its release but we'll have to wait until June 2017 to see it.
Despicable Me 2 was the UK's biggest box office hit in 2013 and made an estimated £561 million worldwide since being released last year.
It tells the story of international villain Gru being recruited by the Anti-Villain League to help deal with a powerful new super-criminal.
The film was named in the best animation category at the Golden Globes and has been nominated for a Bafta award too.
Pharrell Williams' track Happy, which was written for Despicable Me 2, is currently number one in the Official UK singles chart.
The original Despicable Me film was released in 2010.
Details of the plot for the new film have yet to be unveiled, but you can bet there'll be more crazy adventures with our favourite characters.
Universal have also announced that an animated big screen version of Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas will be released in November 2017.
The National Theatre, Southbank Centre, Royal Opera House and Royal Shakespeare Company will lose £2.5m of Arts Council England funding per year between them.
Arts Council chair Sir Nicholas Serota said funding for 2018-2022 would "take more money out of London".
An extra £42.5m per year will be spent outside London, with 183 organisations added to the funding portfolio.
Launching the new funding deal in Leicester on Tuesday, Sir Nicholas said "many parts of the country need" more funding, while acknowledging it was "vital that London continues to thrive".
The Southbank Centre's annual grant will drop by 4%, while the National Theatre and Royal Opera House - also in the capital - will have their subsidies cut by 3% from 2018/19.
Royal Opera House chief executive Alex Beard said: "We face undoubted challenges as a result of this funding cut, and will have to find ways to reduce costs while continuing to present the very best of ballet and opera."
The National Theatre's executive director Lisa Burger said making up the shortfall would "not be easy and it puts even greater pressure on box office, fundraising, and commercial activity".
A Southbank Centre spokesperson said the venue would "diversify and grow our self-generated income in order to sustain our programme".
The RSC, which is based in Stratford-upon-Avon, will also see its grant shrink by 3%.
It said the cut would "not be easy to absorb" but that it recognised the Arts Council's financial pressures and its desire to "rebalance their portfolio".
Winners
Losers
The Arts Council is increasing the number of organisations it funds from around 700 to 831. Sir Nicholas said diversity was also an important driving force for the next funding period.
The total annual budget for government funding distributed by Arts Council England will be £409m - £42.4m more than the currently figure. Libraries and museums are included for the first time.
Sir Nicholas said: "Over the last decade or more we've seen great galleries created in places that were previously thought of as unlikely such as Margate, Nottingham and Wakefield.
"That's what the investment is about. It's about giving people outside London the opportunity to experience the best."
Arts Council England invests money from the government and the National Lottery to support arts and culture across England.
This felt very much like Nicholas Serota's announcement. It had all the hallmarks of his lifetime's experience as an elite arts operator. He knows which buttons to push and when to push them.
Persuading some major nationals to give up some of their funds for the greater good. Looking out for the interests of artists as individuals and not just those represented by organisations. And a tone that spoke of expansion and renewal, not consolidation and conservatism.
The next few years will be interesting with him at the helm. He says the Arts Council doesn't need shaking up, but I suspect he won't be able to resist. I think we'll find he has quite an impact.

Sixty staff were made redundant on Thursday due to cashflow problems.
The company from near Dumfries had about 140 employees when it went into administration last month.
Mark Ranson of administrators Armstrong Watson said a delay in the receipt of funds from customers meant the staff could not be kept on.
"The administrators have been seeking recovery of those funds from customers, and will continue to do so," he said.
"All staff affected will be kept informed and payments will be made as soon as funds become available.
"Fifteen employees have been retained by the administrators to help complete various tasks relating to the collection of remaining debts and the ongoing sale of the business."
Meanwhile, Dumfries and Galloway Council leader Ronnie Nicholson has written to First Minister Nicola Sturgeon seeking her support for the struggling business.
Mr Nicholson said the loss of more than 100 skilled jobs - including apprentices - were "individual tragedies" and also a "further blow" to the region's economy.
He asked Ms Sturgeon to ensure the Scottish government intervened as it had to broker a deal at the Dalzell steel works.
He said that would be a "key step forward" in meeting the challenges facing the local economy.
Speaking for the Scottish government, Business Minister Paul Wheelhouse said he was "very disappointed" to learn of further redundancies.
"This continues to be a very difficult time for all of those affected and their families," he said.
"Partnership Action for Continuing Employment (PACE), the Scottish government's initiative for responding to redundancy situations, has provided support to staff who have already been affected and stands ready to offer further support to the staff made redundant today.
"Scottish Enterprise (SE) is also working closely with the administrators and doing everything possible to help find a buyer for the business."
He said SE had promoted the business to several companies who were now in discussion with administrators.
"That work will continue, as we explore every possible avenue to support the Dumfries site and its workforce," he said.
Colin and Eithne Bell, who set up the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust after their son's death, won the cash in the Euromillions draw.
Mr Bell, from Newry, said there was no panic when he checked the ticket.
He simply turned to his wife and said: "Eithne, I think we've won a million pounds."
The couple's son, Kevin (26) was killed in a suspected hit-and-run in New York City in 2013.
Friends and supporters in Newry raised about £150,000 towards the cost of his repatriation from the USA.
Since then, retired teacher Colin has made it his life's mission to help other families whose loved ones die in sudden or tragic circumstances abroad.
Celebrating after the presentation of their £1m lottery cheque, Colin said the main beneficiaries would be his six children, aged between 26 and 32.
The GAA fan added that Eithne would get a new sunroom and car, the garden will be landscaped and that he would buy "two, or maybe three 10-year premium level tickets for Croke Park".
Their son, Kevin, was also a popular member of the local GAA club.
"He was a great young fella, full of craic," his father said.
Four years on, the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust has gone from strength to strength and has now brought the bodies of 330 people home to Ireland for burial.
His lawyers argue that the trial by a special court jointly set up by Senegal and the African Union was marred by procedural errors.
They also say the defendant's rights were not respected.
Mr Habre was the first former leader to be convicted by an African Union-backed court - his case was seen as a landmark for the continent.
The former president ruled Chad from 1982 until he was overthrown in 1990 and fled into exile in Dakar, the capital of Senegal.
He was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of rape, sexual slavery and ordering mass killings.
Two months after Habre's conviction, the court ordered him to pay up to $33,000 (£27,000) to each of his victims or their surviving relatives.
Prosecutors hope to find a way to locate and seize Habre's assets for the compensation of his victims.
An estimated 40,000 people in total were killed and many more kidnapped, raped or tortured under Habre's regime.
As his appeal trial opened on Monday, one of his lawyers, Mbaye Sene, told the AFP news agency:
"We were motivated to appeal by the violations of the law and [the rights] of the defence and procedural errors."
Habre says the special court has no jurisdiction over him, and is unlikely to appear in person for the appeal proceedings.
If the court upholds his sentence, he will serve his time in Senegal or in another member country of the African Union.
A cache of files from Habre's secret police recovered from an abandoned building in Ndjamena, Chad's capital, was used as evidence in the prosecution's case against the former president.
These documents alone are said to have revealed the names of 1,208 people who died in detention, and of almost 13,000 people who were victims of torture, extra-judicial execution, and arbitrary arrest.
Human Rights Watch researcher Reed Brody says the secret files provided a roadmap of how the repression of the Chadian people was carried out.
• Born in 1942 to ethnic Toubou herders in northern Chad
• Given scholarship to study political science in France
• First came to the world's attention in 1974 when his rebels captured three European hostages to ransom for money and arms
• Seized power in 1982 allegedly with the help of the CIA
• Ousted by current President Idriss Deby in 1990
• Accused of systematically persecuting groups he distrusted
Battle to bring Habre to court
They were not members of so-called Islamic State but had tried to make contact with the group, officials said.
The justice minister said the group was in the planning stage of an attack and police acted as a preventative measure.
Alexandre Moraes described the cell as "absolute amateurs" and "ill-prepared" to launch an attack.
All those arrested were Brazilian and two more suspects were being sought, he said.
They were detained across 10 different states, and had been in contact via messaging services such as Whatsapp.
Group members had attempted to contact a weapons supplier in neighbouring Paraguay to get AK 47 assault rifles, but there was no evidence of any being bought.
An emergency meeting of the Brazilian cabinet has been called.
More than 80,000 police and soldiers will patrol Rio streets for the games which end on 21 August.
The federal government said last week that it was releasing an extra $24m (£18m) to beef up security ahead of the Olympics.
The International Olympic Committee recently concluded that Rio de Janeiro had overcome setbacks and was "ready to welcome the world" to the 2016 Olympics.
There have been fears over Rio's readiness because of building delays, the Zika virus and political crises.
Mr Moraes told a news conference there was a "minimal probability of a terrorist act during the Rio Olympics."
The Ducati rider, who won last week's Italy Grand Prix, was ahead of Repsol's Spanish pair Marc Marquez, in second, and Dani Pedrosa in third.
Britain's Cal Crutchlow was 11th.
The victory moves second-placed Dovizioso within seven points of Yamaha's Vinales, who finished 10th.
Reigning champion Marquez, who crashed four times in qualifying on Saturday as most of the field struggled with grip on a slippery circuit, celebrated his podium finish by falling on the rostrum.
"It was a strange weekend for everybody to manage the track, the grip, the temperature, it was very difficult," said Dovizioso.
"It was a strange race, we couldn't push any lap because the rear tyre drops a lot, but I had the speed so I was able to manage and stay on the front without pushing."
Marquez's younger brother Alex won the Moto2 race, while another Spaniard Joan Mir took the honours in Moto3.

In a picture published in Norwegian media
, one of the three lay judges, Ernst Henning Eielsen, can be seen playing the card game on his computer.
Also on Monday, Breivik told the court he was slighted by Muslims on several occasions during his childhood.
He carried out two deadly attacks in Norway last summer, killing 77 people.
Mr Eielsen has not denied playing a game of cards, a court spokeswoman told the AFP news agency.
Norway attacks: The victims
How the attacks unfolded
"The judges are attentively following what is being said and what is being presented to the court," Irene Ramm told AFP.
"There are different ways of staying focused," she added.
On Monday, Breivik also recalled that when he was seven, his friend's Turkish father wrecked his bicycle, and at the age of 15 he was slapped by a Pakistani underground driver for riding on the outside of an underground car, the Associated Press news agency reports.
Breivik admits the attacks in Oslo and on the island of Utoeya, in which 77 people died and 242 were wounded.
The trial is seeking to establish whether the 33-year-old is sane, in which case he will be sent to prison.
If not, he will be held in a psychiatric institution.
Breivik denies criminal responsibility, arguing his attacks were necessary to combat multiculturalism and prevent a "Muslim invasion" of Norway and Europe.
The 29-year-old made 25 appearances for Rovers last season before injury ended his campaign in January.
Hartley previously played more than 200 games for his hometown club Hartlepool United and joined Rovers from Plymouth Argyle in June 2016.
"When Blackpool arose as one of my options it was a no-brainer," Hartley told the Blackpool club website.

Taunton hosts the first of three one-day internationals as England return to action for the first time since beating New Zealand down under in February this year.
England captain Charlotte Edwards is expecting a fiercely-contested summer against the World Cup holders.
"This is the biggest series I have probably played in," she said.
"With how the last two have gone, and how the two teams have developed, it's going to be one of the most exciting series.
"To test yourself against the best team is what you want to do as a player so hopefully we will do that in the next few weeks."
While England won 12-4 on points on home soil in 2013 in the first multi-format Women's Ashes, and then retained the trophy by triumphing 10-8 in Australia in January 2014, the Southern Stars have been their nemesis in global tournaments in that time.
Australia won the 2013 World Cup, having defeated England in the Super Six stage along the way. Had that result gone the other way, England rather than Australia would have faced West Indies in the final.
The Southern Stars have also won the past three Women's World Twenty20 events, beating England in two of those finals - narrowly triumphing by four runs in Colombo in 2012, and then thrashing Edwards's side by six wickets in Mirpur two years later.
But like their male counterparts, Australia have not won the Ashes in England since 2001.
There was - not unpredictably - disquiet from Australia when England won the last Women's Ashes 10-8 as the Southern Stars had prevailed in four of the seven matches, but England took six points from winning the only Test.
The points system has been amended for this summer, with only four points for a win - and two for a draw - available from the Test, a system described as "fairer" by new Australia coach Matthew Mott.
The results of the three ODIs also count towards the ICC Women's Championship, which determines qualification for the 2017 World Cup.
It is 14 months since the names of the first 18 female players to be awarded full-time central contracts by the England and Wales Cricket Board were announced.
Since then, England suffered a shock Test defeat by India last summer but then won the ODI series 2-0, before beating South Africa 3-0 in a Twenty20 series - then in February, they enjoyed ODI (3-2) and T20 (2-1) series wins in New Zealand.
Wicketkeeper Sarah Taylor feels that becoming fully professional has given a huge lift to the squad.
"It's benefited us massively in terms of the contact time with coaches. That contact time has increased," Taylor told BBC Sport.

"In terms of the training, not much has changed, but it's that comfort of knowing that we don't have to worry about the money side of things. The interest in women's cricket has rocketed."
Edwards added: "To spend the last four months together three days a week at Loughborough has been really valuable for us.
"It has been really hard work at times - but I think we are ready to get out there and hopefully showcase our skills in the biggest arena."
But does greater interest and full-time professionalism mean greater pressure for success?
"I don't think there's necessarily added expectation from within," pace bowler Anya Shrubsole said.
"Probably for those first series against India and South Africa after we turned professional, there was greater expectation from the media and from outside that suddenly we were going to blow everyone away, but realistically it's not like that.
"Other international teams may not be professional by name, but they train full-time, just as we did before we turned professional. By being England and being as successful as we have been, there's always been expectation."
Australia leg-spinner Kristen Beams is the only player in their ODI squad who has never faced England in a full international.
The same goes for all-rounder Delissa Kimmince, who has only been selected for the Twenty20 portion of the tour, while Beams, opener Nicole Bolton and all-rounder Jess Jonassen all have plenty of limited-overs experience but are awaiting their Test debuts.
"We are a really excited group of girls who are ready to go," said skipper Meg Lanning.
"It looks like it will be a pretty good wicket and hopefully there will be plenty of runs scored by both sides."
Among the England squad, left-arm spinner Rebecca Grundy has never played in an Ashes series - while Grundy, seamer Georgia Elwiss and keeper-batter Amy Jones have not yet featured in a Test.
England ODI squad: Charlotte Edwards (Kent, capt), Katherine Brunt (Yorkshire), Kathryn Cross (Lancashire), Georgia Elwiss (Sussex), Lydia Greenway (Kent), Rebecca Grundy (Warwickshire), Jenny Gunn (Nottinghamshire), Amy Jones (Warwickshire, wk), Heather Knight (Berkshire), Laura Marsh (Kent), Natalie Sciver (Surrey), Anya Shrubsole (Somerset), Sarah Taylor (Sussex, wk), Lauren Winfield (Yorkshire).
Australia squad: Meg Lanning (capt), Alex Blackwell (vice-capt), Kristen Beams, Nicole Bolton (Test and ODIs only), Jess Cameron, Sarah Coyte, Rene Farrell, Holly Ferling, Alyssa Healy (wk), Jess Jonassen, Delissa Kimmince (T20 internationals only), Erin Osborne, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Elyse Villani.
The UN says it has reports that more than 100 people were burned to death while sheltering in basements in Cizre.
UN Human Rights Commissioner Zeid Raad al-Hussein urged Turkey to grant the UN unimpeded access to the affected areas.
As the report came out, Kurdish rebels were blamed for a bombing that left three people dead and 45 injured.
The car bomb attack targeted a police bus in the Baglar district of Diyarbakir, Turkish media reported, quoting local officials.
No-one admitted carrying out the bombing but the authorities say it was the rebel Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) - outlawed in Turkey as a "terrorist" group.
Earlier this year Turkey imposed curfews on Cizre and other parts of the troubled south-east, as its security forces battled PKK fighters there.
The UN commissioner said there were accounts of unarmed civilians, including women and children, being shot by snipers in south-eastern Turkey during the crackdown. Government forces also caused huge damage to the local infrastructure, he said.
"It is essential that the authorities respect human rights at all times while undertaking security or counter-terrorism operations," Mr Hussein said.
"In 2016, to have such a lack of information about what is happening in such a large and geographically accessible area is both extraordinary and deeply worrying."
Since a ceasefire broke down 10 months ago, military operations in the south-east and PKK retaliatory attacks have left hundreds dead.
The Turkish government has not yet allowed a UN team into the area and rejects accusations that it targeted civilians, the BBC's Mark Lowen reports from Istanbul.
Separately, US-based watchdog Human Rights Watch said that in the past two months there had been cases of Turkish border guards shooting and beating Syrian asylum seekers and smugglers.
The guards killed five people in those incidents, according to an HRW investigation.
Turkey is already housing 2.7 million Syrians and says it is official policy to allow Syrian refugees to enter the country.
The Ankara government says its offensive against PKK rebels is making good progress. But there is every sign that this is becoming a long, drawn-out and devastating armed conflict, our correspondent says.
Fox wanted the company to chop the new episode up into little pieces and make a series of animated gifs - those blinking, forever-looping, silent clips millions share every day.
When the show aired, Giphy was able to "live gif" the broadcast on social media. Fans lapped it up, sharing the new gifs thousands of times.
"They're able to speak in that show's voice," said Julie Logan, Giphy's director of brand strategy.
Giphy is a search engine for animated gifs. You describe the gif you want, and it'll load it up ready for sharing.
The three-year-old firm is valued at $300m (£210m), thanks to a recent $55m investment round. Huge money, you might think, for a format that is among the most primitive the web has to offer.
But really, that's the point.
A fixture of 90s internet, the animated gif was, for a while, the only way to give a webpage some sign of life. It's not a video, rather a series of lots of images played in sequence, like a flipbook.
Once newer technologies like Flash came along, gifs fell out of favour and instead became associated with cheap, tacky web design.
But the humble gif has made a comeback as the good-guy of the internet.
Gifs don't force a pre-roll advertisement on you before you can watch it. It won't rudely start playing audio when you don't want it to, nor will it plant a tracking cookie on your machine so companies can flog ads at you. And so, as user experiences go, the gif deserves to be treasured.
"It's a really powerful medium," says Ms Logan. "It's had a rebirth as a more creative medium. It's a new kind of art.
"It's short. It's like the punchline of a joke. Or just a little smile - that little kick of emotion."
Those little jokes are often made using images from popular culture - movies, TV stars, musicians. Expressive faces made by Taylor Swift, or classic lines from the film Mean Girls.
The fun derived is the online equivalent of quoting a movie out loud when with friends. The enjoyment comes not just from the humour of the line, but that bond of being among people who enjoy the same things you do.
Giphy's search engine is powerful, quick and an adventure into the perky side of the internet.
But right now, and you probably saw this coming, it's not making any money. As many start-up types say to help themselves sleep at night, Giphy is "pre-revenue".
But investors must see something - a way to spin money out of a format which is popular partly because nobody yet has.
"People have been sharing gifs for a long time," says Ms Logan. "It was something the content creators were not always involved in.
"What we're trying to do is connect those dots."
When people use Giphy, not only do they find gifs, but they also get directed to where the gif originated - be it a movie, YouTube clip or otherwise.
For the people who create those products - like the makers of the X-Files - Giphy wants them to see gifs as an opportunity to push what they call "branded language". You're talking to friends, but through the medium of your favourite film stars. By getting involved, studios can have at least some control over quality and distribution.
And it isn't just Fox. HBO, record label Interscope and several others have come to Giphy to help.
"When Game of Thrones puts out these trailers, they want their fans to talk about it," explains Ms Logan.
"A lot of those conversations are happening in gifs."
As to how they'll make money, Ms Logan says we should look at how Google profits from its search.
So - companies will eventually be able to pay Giphy for their gifs to appear higher up in search results, on the understanding they're likely to be used more often. And in future, tie-ups with TV and movie studios may be another considerable stream of income for the firm.
What won't change, however, is the gif itself - you won't be seeing ads slapped all over them. It would go against everything that has made them popular again.

Peter Steen, 75, of Wrexham, worked at homes belonging to the former Bryn Alyn Community.
He was found not guilty of four counts of cruelty and four counts of assault between 1978 and 1982.
A jury at Mold Crown Court is still deliberating on three more charges.
The prosecution was brought following investigations under the National Crime Agency (NCA) inquiry, Operation Pallial.

Sun-kissed Sandown Park in Surrey was the venue for an extraordinary celebration of a remarkable career.
His two third-placed finishes, on Mr Mole and Box Office, were not the stuff of which legends were built, but this was all about saluting a man bowing out after two decades at the top.
There was a jockeys' guard of honour and celebrity tributes, while a sell-out crowd of more than 18,000 were there to see the 20-time champion in action one last time.
Here, we round-up a day of tears and cheers as the rider who booted home more than 4,300 winners competed on a racetrack for the final time.
McCoy was sprayed with champagne as he entered the weighing room for the last time, which would be quite a treat if he wasn't teetotal.
Seen as an ambassador for the sport, and a mentor to younger riders, there is a genuine respect and kinship from his weighing room colleagues.
More than 30 jockeys formed a special guard of honour for McCoy as he entered the parade ring to collect the champion jockey's trophy for a 20th and final time.
He looked choked by the reception as cheers went up from the packed stands and later confessed to tears behind his racing goggles as he went out for his final ride.
It was perhaps fitting that he should be denied one more winner in his final race by Richard Johnson on Ted Budd, the man who has been runner-up to him in the title race 16 times.
"It's sad that he won't be sat next to me. He's a good friend as much as anything else," said Johnson, who had a double on the day after winning earlier on Menorah.
"From a racing point of view, I'm quite glad he won't be there to do me on the line before the winning post comes."
McCoy said he would love to be back at the track in a year's time to see Johnson finally crowned champion.
More than 1,000 weeks at the top of his game, more than 40 broken bones, and driven on by the pursuit of winners, it was little wonder his contemporaries were quick to pay tribute.
Ruby Walsh, the Cheltenham Festival's all-time leading rider, summed up the feelings of many: "He was so damn good that he always made you try harder.
"He has set standards and targets that are going to be in the history books for a long, long time and to be able to say I rode with him, and beat him the odd time, is a privilege."
Before McCoy came along, the eight titles won by Peter Scudamore were a record in the sport.
"He's just brilliant," said Walsh. "What makes Messi, what makes Ronaldo, what makes Federer, what makes any of them? They are just unbelievably talented."
Arsenal's thrilling 3-2 FA Cup final win over Manchester United in 1979 made McCoy a Gunners fan for life.
It was a team sprinkled with players from the north and south of Ireland, legends such as Pat Jennings, Frank Stapleton, Sammy Nelson and Liam Brady.
Brady was there at Sandown Park and called McCoy his hero. Some accolade from a man who holds the same hero status as the jockey.
The former midfielder loves his jump racing, but someone less equated with the National Hunt scene paid a particularly nice tribute.
Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright, who presented him with the champion jockey trophy, said: "AP McCoy is made of something else altogether. For 20 years he has been at the top of his game, riding winners, week in week out. I can think of no other sportsman or woman who can match his record.
"Like the Arsenal team of 2003-04, he's proven that he truly is an invincible. It was an incredible honour to award him with his trophy for the final time on the day he retires."
"Go on AP, go on you legend." It was a regular refrain as McCoy went out for his final rides. This was the punters' pal after all.
Race-goers had McCoy masks and paddle sticks with the hashtag #ThanksAP, which trended on Twitter for much of Saturday.
Two former stable lads were among the throng, not there to have a bet, just to bear witness to the end of an iconic sporting career.
Charlie Tipthorp and Asa Wingate, both 43, from the Isle of Wight, called the rider a "phenomenon".
"It shouldn't be physically possible what he's done. He's been followed by an ambulance every day for so many years," said Asa, proudly wearing a scarf in the green and gold colours of racehorse owner JP McManus that McCoy is so associated with.
"He's not just the greatest jockey, he is the greatest sportsman I have seen. He is a racing machine."
Charlie, who worked for trainers including Guy Harwood and Josh Gifford, said: "I just wanted to be here to see him jump off a horse for the last time.
"He's modest and being a jockey, it's a tough game, and can be hard to have a heart, but he has one."
McCoy's wife Chanelle said he was an even better person than a jockey and it was a family affair as she enjoyed the day with daughter Eve, seven, and 20-month-old son Archie (AP junior).
The jockey's relatives were spectators to a hearty round of applause from journalists as McCoy concluded a news conference, flanked by boss McManus and trainer Jonjo O'Neill.

Unlike some top-flight athletes, he has been accessible, given engaging interviews and grown over the years from a reticent, sometimes moody individual, to be an accomplished and eloquent speaker.
Broadcaster and author Brough Scott, a former amateur rider himself, said: "What's extraordinary about being here is there will never be a farewell like this.
"I've seen the greats like Lester Piggott, Fred Winter, John Francome, you could go on, but no-one gets close to McCoy on a day-to-day basis.
"It is his enduring excellence on starvation rations, riding at a stone-and-a-half below his natural weight. Other sports stars are in awe of him.
"He was just unbelievably difficult to beat - from Plumpton on a wet Wednesday to the Gold Cup at Cheltenham."
The risks associated with jump racing were illustrated as preparations began for McCoy to receive his trophy. The racehorse Rolling Aces died after collapsing on the walkway when returning from the second race.
McCoy is estimated to have suffered 1,000 falls in his career, and broken more than 40 bones. He is lucky, though.
Two years ago, amateur jockey JT McNamara was paralysed from the neck down after a fall at the Cheltenham Festival.
His cousin Robbie McNamara is in hospital with serious injuries, while Davy Condon has been told he cannot ride again after being hurt in the Grand National.
McCoy has been a reluctant retiree but he will travel to the Punchestown Festival in Ireland as a spectator for the first time this week, with two important calling points on his agenda.
"I'm going to see Robbie McNamara in hospital on Tuesday morning, and John Thomas (JT) on Wednesday so I have very little to complain about," he said.
McCoy goes out as he has pretty much always been - the champion. As his family wished, he got out in one piece. Perhaps the biggest victory of all.
Listen to 5 live commentary of the final race of McCoy's career.
In bold, bright colours, it shows a copper miner, a student, a fisherman and a member of Chile's largest indigenous community, the Mapuche.
Wander down the road to the headquarters of the CUT, the country's main trade union federation, and you find another mural overlooking a courtyard. This one tells the history of the country's workers.
Both walls are painted in the same distinctive style. The colours are primary and the faces - often indigenous in their features - are outlined in thick black lines.
The red, white and blue Chilean flag is used as a motif.
Both murals, and many like them elsewhere in Chile, are the work of the Brigada Ramona Parra (BRP), one of Latin America's most remarkable and resilient artistic collectives.
Founded in 1968 by a group of young Chilean communists, the BRP took its name from Ramona Parra, a 19-year-old woman shot dead by the police during a protest in Santiago in 1946.
Inspired by the revolutionary spirit of the late 1960s, the members of the BRP headed out onto Santiago's streets to paint. They saw murals not only as a way of brightening up the city's drab walls, but of fomenting radical social change.
In 1970, BRP propaganda helped propel the Socialist candidate Salvador Allende into the presidential palace.
But in 1973, their work was cut short. Gen Augusto Pinochet seized power in a military coup and the Communist Party was outlawed.
BRP activists were tortured and driven into exile. The military government painted over their murals.
The BRP went underground but continued to paint in defiance of the dictatorship.
"We worked clandestinely," says Juan Tralma, a founding member of the BRP.
"It was impossible to paint big murals so we would just paint a simple letter R, ringed by a circle with a star next to it. The R stood for resistance, the circle was a sign of unity and the star a symbol of the BRP."
"We had to keep our eyes peeled all the time," recalls Beto Pasten, another veteran member of the BRP. "The police could turn up at any moment.
"They'd come and kick over our paint pots, throw paint on our murals and arrest us. We'd do a mural at the weekend and by Monday they'd painted over it in black. Then the following week we'd come back and paint again, on top of their black paint."
With the return to democracy in 1990, the BRP came out of hiding, painting murals across Chile, Latin America and even as far away as Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany and Ireland.
To this day, the collective paints murals in Chile, championing contemporary causes like workers' and indigenous rights and the campaign for education reform.
On 11 September, Chile will mark the 40th anniversary of the coup. Mr Tralma, who was 26 at the time, remembers it vividly.
"We went out and chatted to the soldiers. I don't think they knew exactly what was happening. It was only when they started bombing the presidential palace, and corpses started to appear on the streets of Santiago, that we realised how serious it was."
As the coup unfolded, the BRP split. Some young communists wanted to take on the military in open combat while others, including Mr Tralma, said it was too dangerous.
His view won the day and Mr Tralma, like thousands of other Chilean leftists, went underground, moving between safe houses to avoid detection. He finally escaped to Argentina where he lived for a decade.
Reflecting on the coup now, he says the BRP was right to retreat rather than confront General Pinochet's forces.
"It was a powerful, brutal dictatorship," he says.
"It would have been a massacre. We would have sent kids out onto the streets with paint brushes to confront men with machine-guns."
The 21-year-old centre-back has agreed a three-year contract at Oakwell after making 42 appearances for Scottish Premiership club Thistle last season.
"He comes off the back of an exceptional season in Scotland and we believe he will kick on here," said Barnsley boss Paul Heckingbottom.
Lindsay rejected the chance to join League One club Oxford United last week.
He is Barnsley's third summer signing following the arrival of St Mirren midfielder Stevie Mallan and Southampton full-back Jason McCarthy.

The Alcohol Bill proposes restrictions on advertising and sponsorship around schools, nurseries and playgrounds.
Archie MacIver, of the Law Society of Scotland, was speaking at Holyrood's Health and Sport Committee.
He said MSPs could "draw a line through" earlier written evidence.
In its submission to the committee, the Law Society had warned that the bill risked affecting unknowing members of the public.
It had said that under the proposed law, a parent or guardian wearing a football or rugby jersey with an advertisement promoting alcohol when collecting children from school would be committing an offence.
The proposed ban was brought to the Scottish Parliament by Labour MSP Dr Richard Simpson as a Member's Bill.
The proposals would introduce a ban on "fixed advertising" such as billboards or window displays within 200 metres of schools, nurseries and children's play areas.
It would also end drinks advertising at sporting and cultural events principally targeted at those under the age of 18.
Mr MacIver told the health committee: "There is one aspect I think I should correct because it is, in my view, on reflection, wrong.
"We did cite examples of someone wearing a football jersey turning up at school gates. I accept that is not a fixed place so perhaps members could draw a line through that one.
"Unless you have got a very lazy parent who is standing there for days on end."
An online survey carried out by the committee found that 78% of the 543 respondents supported a ban on alcohol advertising near schools, and 83% supported a ban on alcohol sponsorship at events targeted at under 18s. | One of the world's largest independent tech support firms has been accused of routinely pressuring customers into buying software they do not need.

Sir Richard Gozney, a former governor of Bermuda and British diplomat, succeeds Adam Wood who stepped down in April after five years.
The Oxford-educated father-of-two said he felt "privileged" to take on the role after a ceremony at the Isle of Man Courts of Justice in Douglas.
The post is appointed by the Queen as the representative of the Crown in the Isle of Man.
The ceremony, normally held in Castletown, was conducted by the first deemster and deputy governor.
The 64-year-old's first official engagement will be a visit to Castletown, the island's ancient capital, this afternoon.
A government spokesman said Mr Gozney recently retired from the British Diplomatic Service after a "distinguished career which culminated as the governor of Bermuda in 2012".
His previous positions include British ambassador to Indonesia and British high commissioner to Nigeria.
Mr Gozney will live in Government House in Douglas and be paid nearly £100,000 a year.
The 250ft-long Blade was installed in Queen Victoria Square in January to mark the start of Hull's year as UK City of Culture 2017.
It was removed in March.
University of Lincoln vision scientists said a "trick of the light" made photos of the Blade look like it had been superimposed.
Researchers said light reflections made some people think the 25-tonne installation, designed by artist Nayan Kulkarni, was unreal.
Psychology professor George Mather said reflection of light on the blade played on people's "preconceived notions" of how objects are lit in natural settings.
He said: "Daylight hitting the object from above produced shading, which created the illusion that the blade was cylindrical and was being lit from the side rather than above," he said.
"This subtly reinforced the visual impression that the blade was out of place and that the image of the blade and its backdrop must therefore be a composite of two different scenes."
Professor Mather said: "At first sight the photographs seemed to be clumsy fakes.
"Something else seemed to be at work too, at least to my eyes as a vision scientist.
To test whether the illusion was caused by light and shade, researchers created a virtual c-shaped image and an s-shape one, the research, published in scientific journal i-Perception, found.
Both appeared cylindrical when lit from above and in front.
Professor Mather said: "The blade appeared to be a cylindrical object, strangely out of keeping with the local environment, lit differently, as though it was superimposed on the scene digitally, but it really was there."
Lance Bombardier Ben Parkinson received the honour from the Prince of Wales at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
L/Bombardier Parkinson, who carried the Olympic flame last year, said he was moved to be described as an "inspiration" by Prince Charles.
The paratrooper suffered more than 40 injuries in a bomb attack in Afghanistan in 2006.
As well as brain damage which affected his memory and speech, he also broke his pelvis, his back in four places, shattered his arm and chest, and lost both legs.
After receiving the honour, he said: "I was surprised at how much Prince Charles knew about me.
"He said I was an inspiration. It made me feel so proud."
In July he took a turn in carrying the Olympic flame through his hometown on his prosthetic legs. The paratrooper was flanked by hundreds of people as he walked for nearly half an hour with an assistant, who supported his arm.
He was also one of a group of injured veterans who took part in a charity trek in Norway earlier this year.
Along with other amputees and severely injured servicemen, he travelled 65 miles (105km) across the Hardangervidda mountain in winds of up to 80mph (130km/h) and temperatures of -30C.
The expedition, organised by the charity Pilgrim Bandits, retraced the footsteps of World War II heroes of Telemark to mark the 70th anniversary of the mission.
They held a meeting in the city on Tuesday night to discuss a number of issues, particularly relating to the situation in the emergency department.
The health board last week board announced a £2m investment in ARI frontline services.
NHS Grampian previously said it had been facing "staffing challenges".
Dutch pension fund manager PGGM led the class action lawsuit, which claimed HP had misled shareholders with the acquisition.
HP said it believed the claim had "no merit" but that it was "desirable and beneficial" to settle the case.
"Further litigation would be burdensome and protracted," it said.
HP paid $11.1bn (£6.8bn) for Autonomy but a year later said it was worth $8.8bn less - sending its shares plunging.
HP's $100m payout will be used to compensate shareholders which bought shares between 19 August 2011 and 20 November 2012, and saw their value fall after the writedown.
Other lawsuits relating to the Autonomy acquisition are still continuing.
Separately HP is pursuing a $5.1bn (£3.6bn) lawsuit against Autonomy, accusing its founder Mike Lynch and ex-chief financial officer Sushovan Hussain of artificially inflating the company's revenue before HP bought the firm.
Both executives have denied the claims.
Deborah Barron's 600cc green and black Kawasaki machine left the road at Ramsey Hairpin during Monday's opening sidecar race.
TT organisers said no spectators or competitors were injured.
In a statement, ACU Events Ltd said a review has been launched and the area would be closed to spectators for the rest of the event.
A video of the crash showed the Braddan racer and her passenger Alun Thomas take the left hand hairpin wide before veering off the road.
Following the incident, Deborah Barron wrote on Facebook: "Sorry to have given you all a scare yesterday."
She also thanked people for their messages of support.
A spokesman for ACU Events Ltd said a full review of all prohibited and restricted areas around the course would be carried out after the event as is standard practice.
The crash happened during the final lap of the opening sidecar race, which was won by Tom and Ben Birchall.
Ian Ackley, who was abused by a man with links to Manchester City, said his father's calls for better protection "fell on deaf ears".
Separately, a charity has claimed the FA was too slow to implement criminal record checks in the 1990s, which may have placed children at risk.
The FA said it was unable to comment.
However, letters seen by the BBC suggest the organisation, which runs football in England, was waiting for a change in the law before it updated its child protection policies.
The organisation has now commissioned an independent investigation into the way it dealt with abuse allegations.
Mr Ackley told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme that his father, who is now dead, felt the response to complaints he made to the FA was "very dismissive".
His father sent dozens of letters to MPs, government departments and sporting bodies, including the FA and Professional Footballers' Association (PFA).
In them, he had called for better protection for young players, including enhanced criminal record checks for coaches working in the game.
The letters followed a 1997 Channel 4 investigation, in which the first substantive allegations of abuse in football - focusing on coaches at Manchester City, Crewe Alexandra and Southampton - were aired.
Mr Ackley was one of a small number of young players involved in the programme to waive his right to anonymity and agree to speak openly about his abuse.
The letters, sent by his father and seen by the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme, raised concerns about the case and the measures then in place to protect children in the game.
"This was pre-internet, pre-social media," Mr Ackley said. "Everything was handwritten and my father diligently wrote to anyone and everyone who he thought would be in a position of influence in order to affect this change. That was his real goal."
But he said his father felt that the FA and other organisations were "brushing off" attempts to improve safety in the game at the time.
"The replies were dismissive at best", said Mr Ackley. "They were always alluding to the fact it was somebody's else's problem... It was very much giving you snippets of information to appease you.
"Not only was I affected when I was abused, but when I, my Dad and the Channel 4 programme tried to bang this drum extremely loudly we were ignored for the second time."
In 2000, the FA did launch a new child protection strategy including better training and compulsory welfare officers at all clubs.
But many of the measures did not come into force for a number of years with compulsory criminal record checks not standard until at least 2003, and in some cases as late as 2007.
Meanwhile, a former Chelsea footballer, who was paid to keep quiet about allegations of sexual abuse, has said the £50,000 he received was "nowhere near enough for the pain and suffering".
Chelsea Football Club have apologised "profusely" for the confidentiality clause, but Mr Johnson told Victoria Derbyshire this was "too little, too late".
Mr Johnson joined the club as an 11-year-old in 1970 and said he had been groomed from the age of 13 by scout Eddie Heath, who died before the allegations against him were made.
Asked if he felt other clubs may have paid players to keep quiet about sexual abuse, he said: "There may be some truth to that".
In a statement on Saturday, Chelsea said Mr Johnson had "suffered unacceptably". The club said a review into the case would take place.
Other critics of the FA say the organisation was not fast enough to put in place enhanced criminal record checks for youth coaches and others working with children.
Those checks include details of convictions as well as so-called "soft intelligence" from local police forces about an individual and whether they should be allowed to coach under-18s.
Before 2002 it was only schools, local authorities and other statutory organisations which could ordinarily access that kind of information.
But in 1994 a Home Office pilot project was set up which allowed a handful of other groups to make use of those checks, including charities like Barnardo's and Fair Play for Children.
Jan Cosgrove, the chairman of Fair Play for Children, told Victoria Derbyshire that in 1997 he was approached by a youth league in Bristol to run checks on 50 managers and others involved in the local game.
The police force involved, Avon and Somerset, reported concerns about one coach who was asked to leave the club in question and was later convicted of child sex offences.
Mr Cosgrove wrote to the FA in April 1997 saying that "since Channel 4's documentary we are receiving regular enquiries from youth football clubs regarding our police checking service".
He said he later organised a conference at Leicester Football Club for other youth leagues, but he claims he was met by lack of interest and hostility by the Football Association at the time.
He claims executives at the FA contacted local clubs advising them not to take part.
"There was no reason other than we were on their patch. I can't understand that, you can't do that with child protection, you have to share," he said.
"We should have had a relationship with the FA, which would've done both parties no end of good, but more importantly it's the kids who come first, and they haven't here."
From 2003 the FA did bring in compulsory criminal record checks for anyone in the game working with children, though this does not apply when under-18s are playing in mixed-age football with adults.
The organisation says it now processes 55,000 checks every season.
The FA's independent inquiry into non-recent child sex abuse in football is being led by the barrister Clive Sheldon QC.
"The review will commence immediately," an FA statement said this week. "The findings of the review will be reported to the FA board.
"It is accepted that no final date can be agreed at this stage given the passage of time and the time it will take to recall files for review and to locate all those relevant people to interview who no longer work for the FA.
"The FA continues to work closely with the relevant authorities and respects the ongoing investigation by the police being co-ordinated by Operation Hydrant into childhood sexual abuse in football."
The BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme is broadcast on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News channel.
The Burial and Cremation (Scotland) Bill requires councils to retain details of services, as well as creating a legal definition of ashes.
MSPs unanimously backed the bill, saying it was vital the scandals should never be repeated.
The legislation was prompted by Lord Bonomy's probe into the disposal of baby ashes at Scottish crematoriums.
The review was sparked after it emerged that staff at Mortonhall crematorium in Edinburgh had secretly buried the ashes of babies without their parents knowledge for decades.
More than 250 families were told that no ashes were left when young babies were cremated, and further cases were reported in Aberdeen, Fife and Glasgow.
There had been fears the legislation lacked "detail and ambition", and calls for a licensing scheme for undertakers, but MSPs from across the chamber voiced support for the amended bill.
There was also debate over a measure which would have barred houses and crematoriums from being built within 200m (656ft) of each other.
This was removed from the bill after it was agreed local authorities should be trusted to make these decisions on a local level.
Moving the bill, Public Health Minister Maureen Watt said it would bring about important improvements to the system and prevent further scandals.
She said: "It is really important to prevent a repeat of previous mistakes, and I believe the bill will achieve that."
Labour's Jenny Marra welcomed the bill, saying it would increase the "dignity" surrounding burial and cremation.
She particularly welcomed the amendments, and said it was "just a start" on efforts to tackle funeral poverty.
She said: "It is a hallmark of our civilised society that can afford everyone a dignified funeral, burial or cremation."
Fellow Labour MSP Malcolm Chisholm said parliament was united in thinking mothers should be at the centre of the decision-making process when they lose a child during pregnancy.
Conservative Nanette Milne, making her valedictory speech in the chamber, said: "This is a very welcome piece of legislation, and much needed."
She added that the bill should "prevent in the future the traumas of the many parents" who still have no idea what happened to their babies' ashes.
Home to the Marsh Arabs, three archaeological sites and an array of species of birds and fish, the marshes are "unique", Unesco says.
The area was ordered drained in the 1990s by Saddam to stop it being used for cover by rebels.
The marshlands have partially revived since his overthrow in 2003.
A major restoration programme has seen people and wildlife return to the area, regarded by some as the site of the Biblical Garden of Eden.
Unesco said the area was "unique, as one of the world's largest inland delta systems, in an extremely hot and arid environment".
It also contains the ancient sites of Uruk, Tell Eridu and Ur - the birthplace of Biblical patriarch Abraham.
In the 1970s, the marshes, formally known as the Ahwar of Southern Iraq, covered some 3,500 sq miles (9,000 sq km), but were reduced by Saddam to barely 290 sq miles.
The former ruler sought to punish the Marsh Arab tribes who had risen up against him after the first Gulf War and also deprive opposition forces of a base for operations.
Huge tracts were drained and dams were built, causing hundreds of thousands of Marsh Arabs to flee.
Over the past decade, local efforts to re-flood the area and help from environmental agencies have replenished about half the wetlands.
Wildlife and Marsh Arabs, native to the wetlands for about six millennia, have also since made a return.
The marshlands, however, remain at risk to drought, dams and irrigation schemes.
Despite suffering with a wrist injury, McGuinness, 42, completed the one-lap sprint at an average speed of 117.366 mph on the Mugen Shinden machine.
He said: "It's been a tough week but it is great to get one for this incredible team. They are very clever people."
Bruce Anstey made it a one-two for Mugen, 23 seconds down on McGuinness.
The Morecambe racer, who will not race in Wednesday's Supersport race, added: "I was gutted to lose this race last year but I've made the top step now.
"That is probably me done in terms of race wins this week - I've yet to make a decision on whether I'll race in the Senior.
"I'll come back fitter and stronger next year."
Former winner, Rob Barber (Buckeye CurrentRW-2) from Bury, was a further four minutes and 30 seconds behind Anstey in third.
Barber, who won the inaugural TT Zero race in 2009, finished less than a tenth of a second ahead of fourth-placed Rob Wilson of Team Sarolea Racing.
American Mark Miller, another previous winner, was fifth and Timothee Monot sixth.
Four of the ten starters did not complete the race.
The painting is to feature in the Dali/Duchamp exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in London.
It has been unframed to allow for inspection before being packed.
Henry Raeburn's Boy and Rabbit will go on show at Kelvingrove as part of a reciprocal loan agreement.
Cllr David McDonald said Christ of St John of the Cross would be one of the main attractions of the Dali/Duchamp exhibition, which opens on 7 October.
"Glasgow is proud of its extensive art collection, considered by many to be amongst the finest in Europe.
"By working with respected institutions such as the Royal Academy of Arts we continue to strengthen our reputation and are able to bring outstanding works of art, such as Raeburn's Boy and Rabbit, to Kelvingrove this autumn."
The Dali/Duchamp exhibition aims to throw light on the relationship between the father of conceptual art, Marcel Duchamp, and Surrealist Salvador Dali.
The exhibition, which will bring together more than 60 works, is to travel to The Dali Museum in St Petersburg, Florida, from February to May 2018.
Christ of St John of the Cross will return to the Kelvingrove in summer 2018 where it is expected to be on display for more than a year, before going on loan again.
It is due to go to Auckland Castle, County Durham, in autumn 2019.
The painting, which was bought by the City of Glasgow for £8,200 in 1952, will then return to Kelvingrove in spring 2020.
An image of the painting will remain in the space at Kelvingrove.
Boy and Rabbit will hang in the portrait section of the Looking at Art gallery in Kelvingrove from September until May 2018.
The painting is of the artist's grandchild, Henry Raeburn Inglis, with his pet rabbit.
The boy was deaf and the work is about the senses, particularly the importance of touch in the relationship between the child and his pet.
It was discovered at Oakvale Terrace in Upperlands on Friday.
The area was cordoned off and a number of homes evacuated for a time while an Army bomb team examined the object.
Residents have been allowed to return to their homes and all roads reopened.
The 31-year-old, who took over in December 2016, is under increasing pressure after the Jambos were knocked out of the League Cup on Saturday.
"Hearts fans would respect it more if someone came out and admitted we've made a mistake," Mackay told BBC Sportsound.
"Look at it from December, it's been a mistake, no-one can question that."
Hearts - who finished fifth in the Scottish Premiership last season - came third in League Cup Group B after a penalty shootout defeat by Dunfermline, following a 2-2 draw at Tynecastle.
That result came in the wake of a 2-1 defeat by League Two Peterhead in the competition last week.
And, with Cathro - in his first head coach role - having overseen a poor run of results last term, Mackay says the club's director of football Craig Levein should act now.
"Hearts need to get back to having a manager running the football team," Mackay, who played for Hearts from 1980 to 1997, added.
"Craig is a stubborn individual. It took him a long time to admit he made a mistake playing 4-6-0 as Scotland manager in the Czech Republic."
Owner Ann Budge and Levein both had to leave their seats in the stands before the Saturday's penalty shootout because of anger from fans around them.
Mackay said: "Ann Budge has come out from the very beginning and said that Craig is in charge of the football department. If you're in charge of the football department then you have to be answerable to what happened on Saturday.
"I didn't like the scenes. I didn't like that it looked like Ann and Craig had to be shepherded away before the penalties, but that is just an impact of the results since (former head coach) Robbie Neilson left the club.
"It's not nice, Ann comes out and faces things, she interacts with the supporters. Craig does a thing at the end of every season with the press, but there has to be more interaction so that supporters have an idea of what's going on behind the scenes, because now we have no idea."
Mackay, who made a club record 737 appearances for Hearts, fears Cathro has lost the dressing room.
"Ian Cathro's point is massive that as a head coach he talks about improving players and the team, and you can do that," said the 53-year-old.
"What he said after yesterday's game was that Dunfermline wanted it more and that comes from the changing room. Allan Johnston and Sandy Clark were able to get more from the Dunfermline players than Ian Cathro and (assistant) Austin MacPhee were able to get from the Hearts players.
"Finishing third in their group with three part-time teams is not good enough for a club of Hearts' stature."
Victoria Cherry, 44, of Fulwood, Lancashire, has not been seen since October 2015.
A 43-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder following the search of a property in Toronto Street, Bolton, said Greater Manchester Police.
A spokesman said the investigation was being treated as a "non-body murder" and appealed for information.
Det Ch Insp Terry Crompton said: "The focus of our investigation has now changed and we remain keen to speak to anyone who may have any information about what has happened to Victoria.
"I am urging anyone who has any knowledge of Victoria's movements since her disappearance, or any information - no matter how insignificant you feel it may be - to please get in touch."

In his 152nd and final appearance, before a world-record fee move to New Zealand Warriors, he had helped his side to a success against Warrington that sealed the league and Challenge Cup double, following August's victory against Hull at Wembley.
What made the achievement most special to Tomkins and his team-mates was the backdrop in which it had been won.
Two top-class half-backs Brett Finch and Thomas Leuluai had left the previous winter, as had prolific centre George Carmont, prompting some sections of the media to question whether the club could challenge for honours.
"At the start of this season we were written off to be finishing fourth, fifth, sixth or seventh or whatever it was, because we lost a few players," Tomkins told BBC Sport.
Pat Richards took his tally of points for the Warriors to 2,468 with a try and five goals in his last appearance before returning to Wests Tigers in his native Australia.
Eight seasons at the club produced two Super League titles and two Challenge Cups to add to an NRL Premiership won with Tigers in 2005.
"Pat has been an unbelievable servant for this club and he deserves every single bit of credit, accolade and praise," Sam Tomkins said.
"We've had too many Aussies come and go in Super League, be average and take money from players who probably deserved it more.
"Pat has been a brilliant servant for the club and we are lucky to have had him for eight years."
"To silence those people and win the double is unbelievable."
The loss of such quality players was overcome by some inspired recruitment from Wigan coach Shaun Wane, with the new pairing of Matty Smith from Salford and Hull KR stand-off Blake Green playing starring roles in their success.
Smith picked up the Lance Todd Trophy in the Wembley final for his consummate kicking game, while Green overcame a facial cut, after being caught by a swinging arm from Ben Westwood, to score a thrilling try and collect the Harry Sunderland Trophy in the Super League showpiece.
"What character he showed after having his eye busted after two minutes," Tomkins said.
"You can teach players how to catch and pass and kick but you can't teach character. Without him we wouldn't have won."
In addition to new arrivals the squad has seen the resurgence of home-grown talent, which has provided the backbone to the push for honours.
Michael McIlorum and Logan Tomkins at hooker, Liam Farrell in the back-row and Josh Charnley and Darrell Goulding in the three-quarters have all shone for Wane - who coached many of them at academy level before their step-up to the seniors.
"It's a special occasion to win with your hometown club," Goulding told BBC Sport.
"It's massive to have local lads in the team. You've seen the same thing with Leeds over the years and how well they've done. We've started doing the same over the last couple of years.
"There's players here, and I know I have, who have grown up playing together and there's that bond you have from that.
Man of the match Blake Green capped an impressive 2013 season at Wigan with two team honours to add to personal silverware.
The 27-year-old joined Wigan from Hull KR and has scored nine tries in 24 games, but might have been forced off prematurely when he was caught by a swinging arm from Warrington's Ben Westwood early on in the game.
"I don't remember anything about it," he said.
"I haven't seen it so I can't really comment. I wasn't knocked out but, when I hit the ground I felt a bit of impact on my eye and the doctor wanted me to stay down and make sure I could breathe properly.
"It was just precaution really. There was no way I was coming off. I was glad I stayed out there because it was cool to play an important part of the win for the team.
"It's what you dream about, playing in finals and winning the man of the match. and for it to all fall into place is just surreal."
"There's no-one we'd want to win more for than Shaun. You saw after the game how everyone wanted to go straight to him.
"He means a lot to all the lads, and the players all do to each other and it's a culture we have built into this club."
Reward for winning the Grand Final is a place in the World Club Challenge, against NRL Premiership winners Sydney Roosters.
As a player Wane played in 1987's inaugural final between Wigan and Manly at Central Park, and was assistant to Michael Maguire when the Warriors were beaten by St George Illawara in 2011.
"I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to that," Wane added.
"To play in that sort of competition whether it is in Sydney or here, it will be great. It's a pity it's not against the Souths [Maguire's current side], that would have been interesting but it is great."
Having coped with major squad changes in 2013, Wane will have to do so again as Tomkins is followed out of the club by prolific winger Pat Richards, England prop Lee Mossop and versatile forward Chris Tuson.
Richards and Mossop will head to Wests Tigers and Parramatta Eels for next season, while Tuson crosses the Pennines to join Hull FC.
In return Matt Bowen has come in from North Queensland Cowboys to replace Tomkins, Eddy Pettybourne arrives from Wests Tigers while Sam Hopkins' promise at Championship level with Leigh prompted the Warriors to secure his signature.
"The four lads that are leaving have been outstanding, all of them, and I love them to pieces, but teams move on," Wane said.
"[Sean] O'Loughlin has been loyal, McIlorum too, I'm really pleased not just for the four that are leaving but also the lads that have been here for years."
Wane and Wigan proved their critics wrong in 2013, but with such a drain of talent, they might just find themselves facing the same doubters come the start of the 2014 season.
BBC London has learned that 823 staff took redundancy while 54 left for other reasons such as retirement when the offices closed in 2015.
The TSSA union said it was a waste of money as 325 jobs were reintroduced following a review.
The cost was "significantly less" than the savings that were made, TfL said.
The plan, announced in 2013 by then mayor Boris Johnson, has prompted numerous strikes.
TfL wanted to close the offices to help pay for the 24-hour Night Tube service which is marking one year in operation this Saturday.
When Sadiq Khan became mayor, he ordered London Travelwatch to carry out a review which found that staff were not visible enough and more were needed.
Ben Stevenson from the TSSA, said: "As a union we didn't want anyone to be made redundant as it is one of the most stressful situations anyone can go through."
He said it was right staff were paid what they were legally entitled to but that too many people left the company.
"Our objective was to get as many jobs back as possible to ensure the safety of the public and the service," he added.
TfL said it had always planned to review staffing levels following the ticket office closures.
A TfL spokesperson said: "The one-off voluntary severance costs associated with the closure of ticket offices in 2016 are significantly lower than the hundreds of millions of pounds we will be saving across our business plan from these changes.
"We are now undertaking the biggest overhaul in our history which will save £4bn over the next few years and enable us to deliver a modern, affordable and accessible transport network for all Londoners."
Reporters from around the world were there too, gently questioning some of those who came.
The people of London and visitors to the city came together to remember the people who lost their lives in Wednesday's attack.
The word "solidarity" was heard over and over again.
Candles were laid on the ground and on the steps leading to the National Gallery, then lit in memory of those who died.
German-born Michaela Thomas, who has lived in Poplar for decades, came to take part in the vigil, but her husband did not feel safe enough to join her.
She said she was there because she did not want terrorism to stop her living her life.
Her view was echoed by almost everyone I spoke to around the square.
Sister Petronia, a nun from Hackney, put on her London 2012 Gamesmaker jacket to attend.
"I feel everybody in London is the heart of London beating," she said.
"When something like this happens, those of us who live here feel the pain.
"People want to come together and express solidarity, and express their desire for peace."
At the front of the crowd, Donnelly Devereaux and her daughter Mary-Katherine Caestecker, both from Chicago, waited for the ceremony to begin.
"We're visiting the city and we wanted to come tonight to show our support, particularly as one of the people who died, Kurt Cochran, was from the US," Mrs Devereaux said.
"It's so much more calm here than it would be at home. Everyone's so calm and collected on the tube, and here in the square tonight."
As the bells of St Martin-in-the-Fields chimed, the crowds fell silent.
Even the rumble of the police helicopters dimmed while those gathered here paused to think about yesterday's events.
Some filmed the scene on their phones, some cast glances across the crowds, but the focus was on three candles on the steps leading up to the National Gallery, above which MPs, religious figures and others stood in a line to pay their respects.
As Met Police Acting Commissioner Craig Mackey, Home Secretary Amber Rudd and London Mayor Sadiq Khan addressed the crowds, bursts of applause broke out and people around me cheered when Mr Khan told them: "Londoners will never be cowed by terrorism".
The minute's silence was impeccably observed - no chatter in the crowd, no phones going off, just people bowing their heads and closing their eyes to remember what happened about half a mile away.
The scent of flowers hung in the air from the tributes people had brought with them.
As the bells of St Martin-in-the-Fields chimed quarter past the hour, and a siren could be heard in the distance.
As the ceremony ended people moved across the square to light candles, I spoke to Danny Lyne, a teacher from the East End of London, who came here after work.
"What happened yesterday has been in my head ever since I found out," he said.
"I remember what happened 12 years ago, on 7/7, and this has brought it all back.
"I think it's important to pay respect to those who lost their lives this time, and to give respect to the police - the Met Police in particular don't often get that."
Kim Davies, 60, installed a mosaic clad Jacuzzi and spotlights into Llanwenarth House, near Abergavenny.
Newport Crown Court heard more than 60 changes to the Grade II-listed building were not approved by Brecon Beacons National Park Authority.
Davies initially denied five charges.
Seven-bedroom Llanwenarth House was originally built in 1532 on six-acres (2.4 hectares) of land and has a detached coach house along with an orchard.
Irish poet Cecil Alexander was a guest at ivy-clad Llanwenarth House, near Abergavenny, in 1848 when she penned her paean of praise for landscape and wildlife.
Davies bought Llanwenarth House in 2007 for £675,000 and he spent more than £1m on it which included changing the original timber windows to "modern" ones as well as doors and fireplace.
He changed a bedroom to a bathroom with a "mosaic-clad" jacuzzi, installing in ceiling spotlights, crystal chandeliers and ultra-modern kitchen fittings.
The court also heard Davies also ripped out historic staircases, fireplaces and hearths in his renovation.
The property was marketed for £2.25m in 2011.
Davies changed his plea to admit five counts relating to carrying out unauthorised work under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
Nicholas Hagan QC, prosecuting, said there was a "deliberate breach of the legislation despite warnings on many occasion" and the costs bill is "significant indeed".
George Carter-Stephenson QC said: "Mr Davies now accepts he must take steps to put the house back in proper order."
Sentencing was adjourned until 15 May.
Fire crews and paramedics were called to Cuthbert Road, Cheadle, at 20:00 GMT on Saturday.
She was taken to Manchester Children's Hospital, where she is being treated for burns to her back, hand and leg.
Several fires started by lit candles have been reported in Greater Manchester during the past two weeks.
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service said a man "was left homeless" on Friday after a house fire in Bolton.
On Thursday, two people were taken to hospital after a lit candle caused a fire at a flat in Hyde.
In a third fire, the roof of two terraced homes in Moss Side was destroyed in the early hours of 11 December.
The discovery was made during a planned search in County Louth on Saturday.
An underground storage device was also found during the police operation in the Raskeagh and Kilcurry area, close to the border with Northern Ireland.
The items were taken away for further examination.
Chief operations officer Bali Padda will take over in 2017 as the first non-Dane to run the business as it restructures its management.
Jorgen Vig Knudstorp, who has led the family-owned company through a ten year turnaround, will chair the Lego board.
A new entity, the Lego Brand Group, aims to exploit "untapped potential" for the toy cupboard stalwart.
The company said the new entity, also chaired by Mr Knudstorp, would "protect and develop" the Lego brand, including its educational and charitable activities, and oversee its Legoland attractions.
Mr Padda will focus on the core business whilst the new vehicle, the Lego Brand Group, will consider new avenues for the brand.
"It will be exciting," he told the BBC. "It [will be] Lego but as you've never seen before. What does that mean? That is what we have to explore."
Lego is still owned by the family of Kirk Kristiansen, who founded the business in 1932. Family members are expected to take an active role within the new Lego Brand Group.
The company has constructed sturdy foundations under Mr Knudstorp's leadership. But just over a decade ago the structure was more shaky.
The company reached a financial low-point in 2004, as electronic toys swept the market, and the plastic bricks struggled to compete.
"It was tough. We were nearly bankrupt at the time.
"It was not a good situation to be in, but at the same time it was a fantastic challenge," said Mr Padda, who joined Lego from Timberland in 2002.
"We were not focused enough," he admitted. "To a degree we had started to leave the brick behind."
Mr Padda said Lego had focused on "instant gratification", giving children a few ready-made pieces to assemble quickly. The key to the turnaround, he says, was resurrecting the company's "belief in the brick".
The past decade has seen Lego embrace movie tie-ins including Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Harry Potter, as well as introducing smartphone apps and digital games as well as collaborating on The Lego Movie.
The strategy has led to double digit annual growth. In 2015 the company posted revenues of $5.2bn (£4bn), meaning it the world's second-largest toy company after Mattel, the Barbie and Hotwheels maker.
Mr Padda, who spent his childhood in India playing marbles and cricket, and only really encountered Lego through his own children when he was living in the UK, said he would not veer far from the strategy of his predecessor.
"I've been an integral part of setting the strategy. That strategy continues.
"Where I do wish to focus is how we better prepare ourselves for the future from a leadership capability, capacity point of view," he said.
"The world is being disrupted in many ways. How do we become a lot more agile to face the challenges that will come to us tomorrow? We don't know what they are, but how do we ensure that we are better prepared?"
Austin rose to head home a free-kick in the 87th minute to win an otherwise dour game of few chances.
Southampton have now won at United in the league for the last two seasons.
United and their manager Louis van Gaal were jeered by home fans at full-time after producing just one shot on target in 90 minutes.
They have won just one of their past five home games - and have failed to score in three of those.
United's first-half record in front of goal is even worse. They have now gone eight hours and 26 minutes without scoring in the first 45 minutes of games at Old Trafford.
Van Gaal's side are now five points behind fourth-placed Tottenham, who won 3-1 at Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Southampton are now just four points and three league places behind United, having won their past three matches. The win also ends a four-match losing streak away from St Mary's for Ronald Koeman's team.

Southampton paid QPR just £4m to sign Austin on 16 January - a figure more representative of the length of time left on his contract with the Championship club than his ability.
In the 2014-15 season, the striker scored 18 Premier League goals, then added 10 in 16 Championship matches prior to his move back to the top flight.
And it took him just seven minutes to pick up where he left off as he found space in the box to meet fellow substitute James Ward-Prowse's free-kick and bury a header past David de Gea.
Prior to that, the Saints were comfortable, working hard to disrupt United's rhythm, managing possession well and looking to hit on the break.
They produced the best of what were few chances in the game, but Sadio Mane fluffed a shot from the edge of the box and Shane Long and Victor Wanyama headed wide from successive corners.
United came into the game off the back of two encouraging performances - an improved attacking display at Newcastle and a confidence-boosting win at Liverpool.
But they were unable to build on those, producing a tame 90 minutes strewn with errors and completely lacking in speed of thought or movement.
It made Southampton's containment job an easy one and left them vulnerable to the kind of late sting they had inflicted at Anfield last Sunday.
Van Gaal and his team were booed off at the end of a first half in which Saints keeper Fraser Forster was only tested once - from an optimistic 40-yard shot from Daley Blind - and Wayne Rooney, Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard all shot woefully wide.
The jeers and abuse were far more ferocious at the end of a second half that United began more encouragingly following the introduction of Juan Mata, but quickly faded after Southampton had seen off their initial charge.
The defeat is sure to intensify the pressure on Van Gaal.

The 64-year-old had suggested last week's win at Liverpool could be "fantastic starting point" for his side in 2016, but he has now led United to their lowest ever Premier League points tally (37) after 23 games.
After the match, the Dutchman admitted that the home supporters were right to boo, adding: "In better or worse we have to stick together.
"You have to meet expectation and expectations are very high, that gives a lot of pressure for the players.
"We are working very hard but we have a lot of injuries. That you cannot change."
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal: "I had a feeling they could score only from a set-play. Our defence in set-plays was weaker because I changed Fellaini and had to change Darmian. Every change was a weakness in defence.
"I wanted to win this game and that's why I changed Cameron Borthwick-Jackson for Adnan Januzaj. That is a risk you take, it was a poor game and we didn't create so much and neither did our opponent."
Southampton manager Ronald Koeman: "We played very good. Our organisation was good, we were very compact, we had good pressing.
"We stayed in the game, controlled the game and you saw more nerves in the Man Utd team and finally we score from a corner kick.
"We showed spirit today, it was an amazing result for the second time here."
Manchester United are away at Championship side Derby in the fourth round of the FA Cup next Friday evening. Southampton's next match is in the league - a tough trip to Arsenal on Tuesday, 2 February.
The 17-year-old has made 11 first-team appearances, nine of them this season.
His only goal so far came on his debut last term, when he scored against Sheffield Wednesday when aged just 16 years 11 months and 15 days.
"I've been in and around the first-team this season and that's my goal, to play regularly for the team," midfielder Dozzell told the club website.
"It was hard when I wasn't involved over the first half of the season but I can see why I wasn't.
"The Championship is a tough league and it's difficult to throw someone of my age into those types of games but I've been working hard in the gym to become bigger and stronger," the England Under-17 international added.
He is the son of former Ipswich forward Jason Dozzell, who remains the youngest goalscorer in the top-flight of English football, having netted on his debut in 1984 aged just 16 years and 57 days.
For these children, and their parents, life can often be difficult and unpredictable.
However, if a particular part of the brain can be pinpointed as the cause of the seizures, brain surgery can be an effective treatment.
Great Ormond Street Hospital in London is currently the main centre in the UK for this type of specialised surgery, but Bristol, Manchester/Liverpool and Birmingham are set to develop similar expertise later this year.
As a result, doctors say they will be able to treat three times as many children with drug-resistant epilepsy in England and Wales - from 125 to around 350 each year by 2015-2016.
Rachel, from Essex, was nearly eight years old when surgeons at Great Ormond Street removed a piece of malformed tissue on the right-hand side of her brain.
Rachel and her family had spent years experimenting with different drugs, trying to control her sudden and distressing seizures which left her physically drained, reclusive and withdrawn.
Her father Nick says it was a relief when doctors said they had identified the root cause of the problem.
"We thought it was amazing. We finally thought we had a way out of it all.
"The surgeons offered us a 70-80% success rate. They set out the risks for us but they were confident, they said 'we can fix this'."
Around 60,000 children in the UK have epilepsy.
While most children with epilepsy enjoy full and active lives, around one-third do not respond to medication and continue to experience seizures.
This can have a major impact on family life, as Rachel's father recalls.
"At the height of it, my wife couldn't go further than 15 minutes from school in case Rachel had a seizure and needed to be sedated or taken home. Even going to the shops became an exercise requiring almost military precision planning," Nick says.
"We had paramedics out to house on numerous occasions, some we even got to know by name. We even got trained in how to administer emergency medication for extreme seizure episodes."
For Rachel it meant that she could be walking along and blank out suddenly, her muscles contorting, arms and legs going rigid, eyes going up into her head.
"It was like she went into shutdown mode," her father remembers.
"She was constantly tired, had no life or energy in her from the combined effect of the medication and the impact of the seizures. She was always picking up bruises and scrapes from where she would fall or hit something when she had a seizure. It was a living nightmare."
Professor Helen Cross, an expert in epilepsy surgery from University College London's Institute of Child Health and Great Ormond Street Hospital, says there are many different types of seizures.
"Epilepsy isn't one condition and a person may have more than one type of seizure.
"Those suitable for surgery will have failed on at least two drugs and when we evaluate them, we should see that the seizures are coming from one small bit of the brain."
And what are the risks of surgery on the brain?
"Surgery carries low risk. We wouldn't offer it if it were not going to be of benefit."
But Prof Cross acknowledges that some clinicians still see surgery as a last resort.
"Some feel that surgery is going to lead to more problems - but each individual is different.
"If they know the child is going to be resistant to drugs quite quickly then the earlier we do the surgery the better the outcome.
"That's better than finding out 10 years down the line that surgery could have been an option."
Simon Wigglesworth, chief executive of Epilepsy Action, says there is strong evidence that brain surgery can transform lives.
"IQ and education ability are improved by surgery, and there is evidence that the earlier it's done the better the cognitive outcomes.
"Seizures are horrible things. Surgery can allow children to go into adulthood free of seizures, able to drive, get a job and lead a normal life."
In her early years, Rachel couldn't keep up with her peers and missed out on a lot of school learning and activities, such was the impact of her condition and the medication.
Looking back, her family remembers her being depressed and wanting to sleep all the time.
Since the surgery, in February 2010, Rachel's life has totally transformed.
"It was like she had a personality transplant," Nick says.
"Now she has energy, she's smiling and laughing. The lights are back on in her eyes."
After the surgery Rachel was home within a week. The hospital said they thought she would be back at school in a couple of months but in fact she returned to school within a month.
"She's made up a lot of ground at school, she loves science, history, art, she has a very creative side that we never saw pre-surgery. The teachers are blown away by her," says Nick.
"She now does all the things she liked to do but couldn't always do because of her condition. She rides horses, swims every week and did a mile at Easter.
"To our family, friends and people who know us, it's the closest thing to a modern miracle. We can now start to lead a normal life."
Harrison Townsend's wobbly tooth came out and went missing on the playground at Denbury Primary School, south Devon.
Head teacher Jamie Stone asked the tooth fairy to "forgive him" for not having the tooth to "turn into magic dust".
Mother Jade Townsend was delighted Mr Stone had "kept the magic alive".
More on the tooth fairy story, plus other Devon and Cornwall news
"It's not something you would really get from a head teacher," she said.
"For it to be done by the head master, and in such a quick turn around - it was about 20 minutes from when he did it to when Mr Stone gave him the letter and read it to him to calm him down."
"For a kid it's all magical and it's really important to keep that magic alive for me and my family."
Harrison put the letter under his pillow and woke up to find £1 there in the morning - he has said he is saving up for an alarm clock.
Humanitarian aid would also be delivered by land and sea, he said.
His announcement comes after weeks of authorities rejecting migrant boats and towing them out of Malaysian waters.
Malaysia and Indonesia's foreign ministers are in Myanmar for talks on the migrant crisis. About 7,000 people are believed to be stranded at sea.
Most of the migrants are Rohingya Muslims fleeing persecution in Myanmar, but some are Bangladeshis thought to be economic migrants.
Malaysia and Indonesia have said they will temporarily shelter those that land on their territory, but need the international community's help with resettling them. Thailand says it will no longer push back boat people from its territorial waters.
Mr Najib said on his Twitter account that it was "basic human compassion" to provide aid to the hungry and sick. He added that search and rescue by the country's naval and maritime authorities was needed to "prevent loss of life".
Malaysia was among several states in the region that had previously refused to take in the migrants and been towing the boats to other countries' waters, in what observers condemned as a deadly "ping-pong" match.
Malaysia's foreign minister Anifah Aman and Indonesia's Retno Marsudi are holding talks with Myanmar counterpart U Wunna Maung Lwin in the Burmese capital Nay Pyi Taw. The US deputy secretary of state Antony Blinken is also due to meet Burmese officials.
Thursday's meeting is seen by some as a breakthrough, as Myanmar has denied responsibility for the crisis and did not attend a meeting of regional foreign ministers on Wednesday, where the deal to provide temporary shelter and no longer turn back boats was reached.
"We are not ignoring the migrant problem, but... we will not accept the allegations by some that Myanmar is the source of the problem," Zaw Htay, director of Myanmar's presidential office, told AP news agency on Saturday.

The Indonesian villagers saving migrants
Amnesty International's Asia Pacific Director Richard Bennett said Wednesday's decision to provide shelter helped those who have come ashore, but "does nothing for the thousands still adrift at sea, with diminishing supplies of food and water, or for any more who may follow them".
Thailand has said it will stop towing boats back to sea, something Malaysian and Indonesian navies have also been doing in recent days, but did not sign the agreement to provide shelter, saying it is already struggling to cope with tens of thousands of refugees from Myanmar.
"If we try to please these people [migrants] out of compassion, we might perhaps satisfy them in the near time, but over time this will create more havoc to the country," says an opinion piece on the Malay Mail newspaper website.
Rights activist Marina Mahathir disagrees.
"The Rohingya problem is not going to go away just because we refuse to help them. Saying that they will keep coming if we feed and shelter them is being simplistic," she writes in the Malaysian tabloid The Star.
Most agree, however, that there is no simple solution to the crisis.
"The Rohingya refugee problem, just like the European boat people crisis, is complex and cannot be easily solved by pointing fingers of blame. There is no simple answer, no single quick-fix," suggests the Thai newspaper The Nation.
More than 3,000 have been rescued by locals or come ashore in Indonesia and Malaysia in recent days.
Malaysia and Indonesia have appealed for help from other nations to resettle the migrants within a year.
Myanmar (also known as Burma) sees the Rohingya as migrants from Bangladesh, though many generations have lived there. It restricts their movements and personal lives, and Rohingya have faced persecution from the majority Buddhist population.
The BBC's Jonah Fisher, who is in Sittwe province where many of the migrants are believed to have come from, says unless the root cause is addressed the migration problem will continue.
Why are so many Rohingya stranded at sea?
Myanmar's unwanted people
Georgina Edmonds, 77, was found dead after being tortured at her home in Brambridge, Eastleigh, in 2008.
Matthew Hamlen, 36, from Bishopstoke, has pleaded not guilty to her murder.
William Mousley QC told Winchester Crown Court the main pillars of evidence against Mr Hamlen would "crumble and fall".
The jury has been shown CCTV footage of a man, said by the prosecution to be Mr Hamlen, wearing a high-vis jacket and attempting to use the victim's debit card at a cash machine on the night she was murdered.
But Mr Mousley said the court would hear from two witnesses who would "cast doubt on the very shaky evidence that Matthew Hamlen was 'ATM man'".
He told the jury the witnesses saw something that did not fit with the prosecution's theory.
The 36-year-old is on trial for murder for a second time after being acquitted of the same crime in 2012.
The trial continues.
Provincial governor Nawzad Hadi said 14 were from the Philippines, three were Iraqis and one was a Palestinian. One victim has not yet been identified.
Dozens of other people were injured in the blaze, at the Capitol Hotel.
An electrical fault in the hotel was the suspected cause of the fire, Mr Hadi added.
A hotel spokesman confirmed to Kurdish broadcaster Rudaw TV that some of those killed were from the Philippines, but said the fire had started in a business next door.
Images posted on social media showed smoke pouring from windows on the top floor of the hotel.
The Kurdistan Region is an autonomous area in the north of Iraq. It has been at the forefront of the campaign against the Islamic State (IS) group, which controls parts of Iraq and neighbouring Syria.
The region experienced an oil-fuelled economic boom in 2003, attracting many foreign workers.
The union's executive committee voted to lend its support to Mr Corbyn, with Andy Burnham as its second preference.
The union, which is Labour's biggest financial backer, supported Ed Miliband in the 2010 Labour leadership contest.
The unions will have less influence on this year's contest because the party has moved to a "one member one vote" system for choosing its leader.
But the decision is a big boost for Mr Corbyn, who has been well received at hustings involving trade unions in recent weeks.
Mr Corbyn has been taking part in a leadership hustings in Wales with his three rivals for the job - Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall, all prominent shadow ministers.
Who are the Labour leadership candidates?
The Islington North MP said: "It is a great honour to receive Unite's nomination, and it underlines that this a serious campaign that has growing momentum.
"The leadership election is about one issue above others: whether we accept another five years of a race to the bottom based on cuts that destroy services and damage living standards, or whether we invest our way to a growth and fairness."
He also thanked other trade unions who have nominated him - Aslef and the BFAWU - and for the endorsement of two unions not affiliated to Labour, the FBU and the RMT.
He added: "Trade unions are a force for good, a force for prosperity and we should listen to them more. For Labour to win again it must show it is on the side of the majority."
Unite said its backing for Mr Corbyn was in recognition that his policies were most closely aligned with those of the union.
Backbench MP Mr Corbyn only made it on to the ballot for the leadership contest thanks to a last minute rush of support from Labour MPs who said they wanted to widen the debate about the party's future, but would not be voting for him as leader.
He told BBC Radio 5's Pienaar's Politics he was "very grateful" to those MPs who had backed him.
And he hit back at the "Tories for Corbyn" campaign, which has reportedly seen supporters of the government signing up as registered Labour supporters for £3, to vote for him because they believe his election would boost the Conservative cause.
"If people do not support the Labour Party and do not wish to vote Labour, either in future elections or have done so in the past, they should not be registering as Labour supporters, it's not an honest thing to do," said the MP.
Unite said it would not be nominating anyone for deputy Labour leader but would be making a recommendation to members to support Tom Watson and Angela Eagle.
The decisions on who to support were taken on Sunday following debate by the union's executive committee, an elected body of 63 men and women from workplaces across the UK.
The infection, which causes symptoms including mild fever, conjunctivitis and headache, has already been found in 21 countries in the Caribbean, North and South America.
It has been linked to thousands of babies being born with underdeveloped brains and some countries have advised women not to get pregnant.
No treatment or vaccine is available.
The virus was first detected in 1947 in monkeys in Africa. There have since been small, short-lived outbreaks in people on the continent, parts of Asia and in the Pacific Islands.
But it has spread on a massive scale in the Americas, where transmission was first detected in Brazil in May 2015.
Large numbers of the mosquitoes which carry the virus and a lack of any natural immunity is thought to be helping the infection to spread rapidly.

Zika virus triggers pregnancy delay calls
Zika is transmitted by the bite of Aedes mosquitoes, which are found in all countries in the region except Canada and Chile.
In a statement, The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the regional office of the WHO, said: "PAHO anticipates that Zika virus will continue to spread and will likely reach all countries and territories of the region where Aedes mosquitoes are found."
PAHO is advising people to protect themselves from the mosquitoes, which also spread dengue fever and chikungunya.
It also confirmed the virus had been detected in semen and there was "one case of possible person-to-person sexual transmission" but further evidence was still needed.
Around 80% of infections do not result in symptoms.
But the biggest concern is the potential impact on babies developing in the womb. There have been around 3,500 reported cases of microcephaly - babies born with tiny brains - in Brazil alone since October.
PAHO warned pregnant women to be "especially careful" and to see their doctor before and after visiting areas affected by the virus.
Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador and Jamaica last week recommended women delay pregnancies until more was known about the virus.
Although officially PAHO says "any decision to defer pregnancy is an individual one between a woman, her partner and her healthcare provider".
Maria Conceicao Queiroz said there was a sense of fear where she lives near the Olympic Park in Rio de Janeiro: "Every one is at risk, we're all scared of getting Zika.
"We're surrounded with dirty water, polluted water, but what can we do but put repellent on, to try to keep the mosquitoes away."
Prof Laura Rodrigues, a fellow of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences and from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said some data suggested that up to one-in-fifty babies had birth defects in one of the worst hit areas - Pernambuco state in Brazil.
She said: "Until November we knew nothing, this has caught us by surprise and we're trying to learn as fast as we can.
"Wherever there is dengue, there is mosquito, then it will spread and not just in Americas I think there is a very real chance it will spread in Asia."
PAHO advice is to ensure all containers that can hold even small amounts of water should be emptied and cleaned to prevent mosquitoes breeding.
And that people should protect themselves by using insect repellent, covering up and keeping windows and doors closed.
The director general of the WHO, Margaret Chan, said the outbreak was "extremely worrisome".

This is because it has always been accused of being one of the most untransformed academic institutions in post-apartheid South Africa, and for decades was regarded as the heart of Afrikanerdom.
The town itself is the second-oldest European settlement in the Western Cape and was named after Simon van der Stel, who was a governor of the Dutch Cape Colony.
White supremacists such as John Vorster, a former apartheid prime minister, studied at the university.
It was a little enclave protecting the interests of the architects of apartheid - and by extension the language of the oppressor, Afrikaans. It was exactly this use of the language which sparked the 1976 student uprisings in Soweto.
Dropping Afrikaans means that, psychologically and symbolically, the walls of apartheid are still crumbling 21 years after racial segregation was officially removed from the statute books.
Many black students felt unwelcomed at a university in their own country of birth.
The very word apartheid, which has now been internationalised and is in the Oxford Dictionary, is in fact an Afrikaans word.
The language is still spoken by millions but this move will make the many more millions who do not speak it feel welcomed in one of the best academic institutions on the African continent.
South Africa's top six mother-tongue languages:

This is a victory for this generation, says Sechaba Dan Montsisi, one of the leaders of the 1976 uprising and an MP for more than 20 years.
However, Mr Montsisi said they must not stop at language only.
"They must look at changing the curriculum and make sure that it is designed to help us as a developmental state, instead of bench-marking itself against European universities."
"We are not against Afrikaans. We accepted it as an indigenous language because it was formed from African languages combined with German, [French] and Dutch," he added.
The reinforcement of the institutionalisation of Afrikaans by the apartheid government when they came into power in 1948 was in part a continuation of the Anglo-Boer War.
The Afrikaners were expressing their desire to free themselves from the domination of British colonisation and therefore from being forced to speak English.
How ironic that 67 years later, the headquarters of Afrikaans drops it for English but this time for the greater good of all South Africa's people.
The pro-Afrikaner civil rights group AfriForum is not happy.
Its deputy head Alana Bailey described the move as discriminatory.
"It is clear the [University of Stellenbosch] management cannot even be trusted to maintain the partial presentation, but wants to make an effort to further marginalise Afrikaans and discriminating even more drastically against Afrikaans-speaking students," she said in a statement.
However, the final say lies with the university's council that will make a decision on 30 November.
It may face fierce opposition but is likely to be passed.

There are reports a Dundalk supporters' bus was vandalised during the trouble that happened outside the grounds.
Police have yet to confirm the incident. Derry City have yet to comment.
Derry councillors have condemned the attack.
Councillor Gary Donnelly said a group of Dundalk fans were cornered by a gang of youths outside a pub on the Lecky Road.
"When I arrived the crowd had dispersed and the Dundalk fans' mini-bus, which had been attacked, had been repaired and they were about to leave the area but they were visibly shaken," he said.
Mr Donnelly told BBC Radio Foyle that the supporters' mini-bus had its tyres slashed and graffiti sprayed on windows.
"Residents told me that after the game a number of Dundalk fans were making their way back to the bus when one of them was assaulted.
"A young boy of about 14-years-old was hit on the back of the head with a bottle before locals intervened and the four guys ran off."
Sinn Féin councillor Patricia Logue, who lives in the area, said extra security may now be needed during match nights.
"This is criminal behaviour by youths who are causing mayhem in our community," she said.
"The people of the Brandywell, the visiting fans, Derry City Football Club, do not want this happening in the area.
"The residents are distraught and extra security will be one of the topics I'll be talking about to the relevant agencies today."
The cartoon, which Mr Trump deleted after tweeting, depicts the cable network logo being run over by a "Trump Train" symbolising his supporters.
The president also apparently accidentally retweeted a post by someone calling him "a fascist".
Mr Trump is in New York where he faces a second day of protests.
White House officials told NBC the train image - captioned "Fake news can't stop the Trump Train" - had been "inadvertently posted" and when "noticed it was immediately deleted".
In another presumably unintentional retweet, the US president shared - and then also deleted - a post by someone who said of him: "He's a fascist, so not unusual."
The Twitter user, @MikeHolden, had been commenting on a Fox report saying that Mr Trump could be planning to pardon Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who was found guilty in July of racially profiling Hispanic people.
Mr Holden, of Burnley, England, promptly changed his Twitter bio to read: "Officially Endorsed by the President of the United States. I wish that were a good thing."
Asked by the BBC if he thinks the "endorsement" ended when Mr Trump deleted the tweet he laughed and said: "Oh, absolutely. I don't think he really meant to endorse it.
"I don't think he intended to say, 'yup, that's me, the big ol' fascist!'"
"I'm an internet nobody!" added Mr Holden, a 53-year-old IT consultant, adding the response has been "absolutely bananas".
"It's rare you get that kind of attention from the president, isn't it?" Mr Holden added.
Mr Trump has drawn criticism from both ends of the political spectrum since Saturday's so-called Unite The Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, where a woman was killed.
Heather Heyer, a 32-year-old counter-protester and 19 other people were injured when a car rammed the crowd. A 20-year-old man is facing murder and other charges.
Mr Trump did not immediately condemn the white supremacists, instead blaming "many sides" for "hatred, bigotry, and violence" in the university town.
On Monday he sought to clarify his views, denouncing the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis by name.
But in the process he took a moment to demean a CNN reporter.
Asked by journalist Jim Acosta why he had waited so long to condemn the hate groups, Mr Trump responded: "I like real news, not fake news."
Pointing the finger at the White House correspondent, he added: "You are fake news."
Mr Trump frequently targets the so-called "fake news media" in tweets to his nearly 36 million followers.
In May he shared a clip of himself pummelling professional wrestler with a CNN logo superimposed on his face.
Late on Monday, Mr Trump also retweeted a post from an account linked to one of his supporters known for fuelling conspiracy theories, such as "Pizzagate".
The post by Jack Posobiec linked to a story from an ABC affiliate and said: "Meanwhile: 39 shootings in Chicago this weekend, 9 deaths. No national media outrage. Why is that?"
The Pizzagate conspiracy theory claimed Hillary Clinton's campaign chief was running a paedophile ring out of a pizza parlour in Washington.
Mr Trump awoke for the first time as president in Trump Tower on Tuesday, tweeting that it "feels good to be home".
He arrived at the Manhattan skyscraper on Monday night amid throngs of protesters calling for his impeachment.
Three people were arrested, and police expect further demonstrations on Tuesday.
Late-night show hosts turned their fire on Mr Trump on Monday night.
The Tonight Show's Jimmy Fallon, who usually avoids political polemic, rebuked the president.
"The fact that it took the president two days to clearly denounce racists and white supremacists is shameful," Mr Fallon said on his NBC show.

All fixtures are subject to change. BBC is not responsible for any changes.
It is a tough balancing act between getting the players ready for that new campaign and exploiting sponsorship opportunities, says football finance expert Rob Wilson.
"Last year, China seemed to be the significant market and a lot of teams focused on that - but the North American market is the one the teams have been looking at this summer, largely because of sponsorship values," Wilson told BBC Sport.
"The clubs will be looking to pick up affluent sponsors and there is a nice alignment between American brands and sponsorship deals for the clubs to exploit."
Wilson, from Sheffield Hallam University, says it is difficult to get the right pre-season training while reaping the financial benefits of a tour.
"The choice of friendlies in Germany and Austria is about season preparation being at the forefront of clubs' minds, rather than looking for sponsorship deals," he said.
"Arsenal have always been very good at that in the past - putting football first. Others are much more focused on commercial drive.
"When you look at Manchester United, they are heavily sponsored by American companies.
"It also ties in with the increased interest in MLS. The infrastructure is already in place, the stadiums are there and fans' interest is there. Clubs already have associations with football in America.
"In the Far East it is more difficult to sort out, logistically, so clubs have to work much harder to make a success of a tour."
He says the focus has switched slightly this summer.
"Clubs do tend to work on a cyclical basis - there was a lot of activity in the Far East last year. I was half expecting teams to do some work in Japan this summer, especially a club like Chelsea, who have their Yokohama shirt deal.," he adds.
"But maybe it is because China are concentrating much more on the Chinese Super League, so there is a bit of a conflict and the tours would not get as much attention.
"In terms of other countries - such as Africa - there are problems of infrastructure. It is getting to the point, though, where a club might need to do something different."
Former QPR midfielder Bradley Simmonds is a fitness coach to players including former Chelsea and England captain John Terry and Arsenal forward Theo Walcott. He says there are some benefits to the long-distance travelling.
"Lots of teams go to different countries to experience playing against different sides, so if they come to play in the Champions League they are used to playing against a range of top sides," he said.
"Obviously the travelling is going to take its toll, but the staff at these clubs know what they're doing. Jet lag can cause a problem, but coaches and medical staff will make sure the players get enough rest.
"You can become stiff during long-haul flights especially after training, so your body needs to recover. But these players travel first class on flights so they will be able to stretch their legs and get rest."
While the clubs might be looking at the financial benefits, Simmonds says the players will be solely focused on their fitness.
"They'll be looking to get lots of game time, even players who may not play regularly during the season will play in as many games as possible.
"It's all about strength and conditioning, making sure the core and glutes have been worked on.
"They've had four or five weeks off so they need to get the brain switched on. The players that have been drinking or not looking after their body quite as much as maybe they should need to get back into it."

The company described the new platform as its most significant product launch since HD and "a new way to watch TV".
The package will comprise a set-top box and a "super premium package" and will be separate from Sky's Now TV on-demand service.
Experts questioned what it would cost as Sky has not revealed pricing for the product.
Sky's Andrew Olson told Rory Cellan-Jones that it was a new "premium" offering.
The plea follows an EU announcement on Thursday that member states should be allowed to send some asylum seekers back to Greece from March 2017.
Under EU rules, the first country of entry usually handles an asylum seeker's claim.
But that system collapsed in 2015 when Greece was overwhelmed by new arrivals.
Most of the more than one million people who entered Europe last year did so through Greece, travelling from Turkey.
The numbers were so large that thousands were reported to have been allowed into the country without having their documents properly processed.
Other EU countries in response closed their borders, stranding about 62,000 migrants in Greece, which has found it difficult to provide them all with proper accommodation.
In a letter to the EU interior ministers and the EU Commission on Friday, Greek Migration Minister Yiannis Mouzalas said that migrant over-population remained a big problem on islands such as Lesbos and Chios in the Aegean Sea.
The letter said the Greek government believed that migrants from countries where there is a slim chance of getting asylum - Pakistan, Morocco and Algeria - should be transferred to "pre-removal centres in the mainland" where they will be kept under tight security before being returned to Turkey.
It says that such action "will only be short term" and will not affect those who have refugee status.
"Your support is requested to make the... emergency action possible, to help decongest the islands smoothly, effectively and immediately," the letter says.
Precise figures are difficult to obtain, but in November it was estimated that about 16,000 asylum seekers were living in camps on Greek islands.
There has been a dramatic fall in the numbers of migrants making hazardous boat journeys across the Aegean from Turkey to the Greek islands since March, when the EU signed a deal with Turkey to curb the influx.
But the processing of asylum claims is very slow and tensions have risen between migrants and local residents. In many cases, migrants are sheltering in squalid conditions in Greece.
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.
Between 2007 and 2015 wages in the UK fell by 10.4%, a drop equalled only by Greece, the analysis by the TUC found.
Women's pay in particular needs to be boosted, the union body said. Women earn on average 19.2% less than men, according to the latest official data.
The Treasury said the TUC's analysis did not fully reflect living standards.
The UK is the joint biggest faller on pay in 29 countries of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) - a forum for wealthy countries who work together to promote financial growth and social wellbeing.
The UK, Greece and Portugal were the only three OECD countries that saw real wages fall, according to the research complied by the TUC.
Over the same eight-year period real wages grew in Poland by 23%, in Germany by 14% and in France by 11%, the TUC found. As an average real wages increased in OECD countries as a whole by 6.7%.
Real wages is a term used for wages that have been adjusted for inflation over time.
"We need to boost pay across the board, particularly for the one in four women still facing low pay," said Frances O'Grady, general secretary of the TUC, a federation of trade unions in England and Wales.
"Wages fell off the cliff after the financial crisis and have barely begun to recover," she added.
She said people could not afford another hit to their pay packets, and that working people should not foot the bill for a Brexit downturn.
Hannah Jongsma, 27, earns around £1,100 a month.
She says the idea of her buying a house is "distant notion" and admits that life has become a "hand-to-mouth existence".
Hannah, who is originally from the Netherlands and previously worked for the British Medical Association for three years, is now studying for a PhD in psychiatry at Cambridge University and her rent alone eats up more than half of her regular monthly allowance.
"We are living in a different age," she says.
"In terms of employment, permanent contracts for example have become so rare... temporary contracts basically mean you cannot plan for the future in the same way."
Conor D'Arcy, a policy analyst for the Resolution Foundation - a non-partisan think tank that looks at ways of improving living standards for Britons on low and middle incomes - said the financial climate had been particularly harsh for "millennials" like Hannah.
He said: "The UK has experienced the most prolonged pay squeeze in over a century in wake of the financial crisis, with young people feeling the biggest pay squeeze of all."
Millennials - people aged 34 and under - earned £8,000 less over the course of their 20s compared to the generation before them, he added.
A Treasury spokesman said the TUC's analysis ignored the fact that since the financial crisis the UK's employment rate had grown more than any country in the G7 - which is the world's leading seven industrialised nations.
"Living standards have reached their highest level and wages continue to rise faster than prices - and will be helped by the new National Living Wage," he said.
"But there is more to do to build an economy and country that works for everyone not just a privileged few, and we are determined to do exactly that."

Stockport MP Ann Coffey is calling for the creation of a list of children who are regularly not at school.
It could be used by children's services and police to identify those at risk.
The government said 9,135 and 4,955 children respectively were persistently absent from secondary and primary schools in Greater Manchester in 2012.
Ms Coffey said: "It's really important that local authorities and schools work together to identify if any of those children, while they are missing, are at risk of coming to harm, including sexual exploitation."
She said central "persistent absence lists" could be cross-referenced by police, education welfare officers and children's services to spot patterns of local child sexual exploitation.
The idea would mean "we can identify children who are at risk and intervene early on in their lives to prevent them actually coming to harm," she added.
In November, Ofsted inspected eight local authorities that had issues with child sexual exploitation and found only one had kept an absence record.
"The fact that there was such as list made it possible to combine and analyse data in order to identify trends and patterns and explore possible links to child sexual exploitation or gang related activity," the report said.
In October, Ms Coffey said exploitation was an "ongoing problem" in a report commissioned by Greater Manchester Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Tony Lloyd.
It assessed improvements in protecting youngsters after nine men were jailed in 2012 for running a child sexual abuse ring in Heywood and Rochdale.
There are new faces in the dugout and on the pitch, new rules to grasp and shows to watch - plus the arrival of the most expensive player in the world.
If you've been busy this summer and taken your eye off the ball, don't worry. By the time you've finished this piece you'll be bang up to speed ahead of the big kick-off.
The Premier League won't be short of egos this season.
Jose Mourinho has taken over at Manchester United and signed former Paris St-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and £89m Paul Pogba - while across town former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola is the new man in charge of Manchester City.
The other new managers to keep an eye on are David Moyes at Sunderland, Antonio Conte at Chelsea, Claude Puel at Southampton, Ronald Koeman at Everton and Walter Mazzarri at Watford.
Chop, change, chop, change. Appoint, sack, repeat.
The level of managerial experience in the dugouts lurches from one extreme to another in the Premier League this season.
Eight managers are set to take charge of their sides for the first time in the top flight this weekend - Mourinho, Conte, Guardiola, Aitor Karanka, Ronald Koeman, Puel, Moyes, and Mazzarri.
Untested? Yes - but also unbeaten...
In addition, Hull City will have caretaker Mike Phelan in charge for their first game back in the Premier League.
There were just three new boys on the first day of last season, with six in 2012-13 the most recent until now.
Arsene Wenger's total of 752 Premier League games in charge of Arsenal dwarves the rest of the Premier League, with 12 managers racking up just 236 games between them. That's an average of 19.6 games each.
So, Pogba is back at Old Trafford just four years after the 23-year-old midfielder left United for Juventus for £1.5m - that's a cool £87.5m profit for the Italian champions.
Shortly after that deal was announced in the early hours of Tuesday morning, John Stones was named in Manchester City's official Champions League squad, published on the Uefa website before City confirmed that the 22-year-old England international had indeed joined for £47.5m.

Ibrahimovic, Switzerland's Granit Xhaka, Belgium's Michy Batshuayi, Germany's Leroy Sane, Armenia's Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Pogba - some big names of European football have arrived in the Premier League this summer.
And we can expect a few more yet.
At the end of July, before Pogba's record arrival and Stones' move to City - and exactly one month before the close of the 2016 summer transfer window - Premier League gross spending stood at £475m according to Deloitte's Sports Business Group.
That was actually slightly down on £515m at the same stage last year.
One significant transfer that you may have missed is the return to these shores of Alex Manninger.
The 39-year-old goalkeeper was signed by Liverpool this summer a huge 14 years after leaving Arsenal.
He made 39 Premier League appearances for the Gunners, winning the double in 1998.
If Manninger plays in the league this season - and with fellow new signing Loris Karius injured, he is currently backup to Simon Mignolet - he will set a record for the longest gap between Premier League appearances.
But he would not be the current player with the longest Premier League career. Stoke keeper Shay Given made his Premier League debut for Blackburn against the mighty Wimbledon on 14 December 1996. He last featured on the last day of last season. Still going strong...
Yes, it did really happen.
Three months on, it still hasn't sunk in for many that Leicester City really are the defending Premier League champions. Their whole lives were a 5,000-1 shot eh?
But how will they go on this season?
One of their holy trinity of star players - N'Golo Kante - has left but Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy remain and the Foxes have a Champions League campaign to look forward to this year.
And if the history books are anything to go by, then they certainly won't lose their opening game against Hull on Saturday lunchtime.
The defending Premier League champions have never lost their opening game the following season. In fact, the defending champions have won all but four games on the opening weekend.
Last season Chelsea drew 2-2 with Swansea - a game that was marked by the fallout between Jose Mourinho and physio Eva Carneiro - and in 2008 Manchester United drew 1-1 with Newcastle.
Sir Alex Ferguson's side were also held by Reading 12 months earlier, and after winning their treble in 1999 United drew with Everton.
Guardiola's Manchester City side are favourites at the bookies, while Chelsea - not in Europe this season - could have an advantage.
If Leicester retain their title it would be the seventh time the feat has been achieved, while Chelsea's 10th-placed finish last season is the worst defence.
Saturday & Sunday - Premier League. Monday - Premier League. Tuesday & Wednesday - Champions League. Thursday - Europa League.
And now Friday - Premier League
Yes, the set is now complete and there never need be a day of the week without live football again. Live Premier League matches on a Friday night are perhaps the biggest change to the top-flight season this year as a new £5bn TV deal kicks in.
Under the new contract, 168 games will be shown live per season, at an average cost to the broadcasters of £10.2m per match.
The first Friday night game of the season comes on 19 August when Manchester United host Southampton, while Chelsea face Liverpool on 16 September.
The now sponsorless Premier League has a new logo to mark the new season, while there are some rule changes which kicked in on 1 June.
Kick-offs can now be taken backwards, a professional foul in the penalty area is not now necessarily a sending-off and players who feint to kick the ball once they have taken a run-up when taking a penalty will now get booked for unsporting behaviour.
But perhaps the most significant is red cards will be issued to players who confront match officials and use offensive language or make gestures towards them.
Finally, there is a new stadium to enjoy. Or endure.
The Olympic Stadium will be the 55th venue to host a Premier League match and new tenants West Ham will become the 10th Premier League club to play home games at two different stadiums.
The others?
Arsenal, Bolton, Derby, Fulham, Leicester, Manchester City, Middlesbrough, Southampton and Sunderland.
In the summer of 1996 Alan Shearer became the world's most expensive footballer when he joined Newcastle from Blackburn for £15m.
Twenty years on and the same fee will barely stretch to a promising youngster. Bournemouth broke their transfer record this summer to spend that on Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe.
Between them, Premier League clubs have signed close to 20 players for fees of £15m or more so far this summer.
Of course, you don't need to spend £15m to sign a player who can make a real impact in the Premier League. There have been some impressive signings for less than that this summer.
Stoke paid £13m for Liverpool and Wales midfielder Joe Allen, who you may have heard was in the Euro 2016 team of the tournament. The former Swansea player could excel as a regular starter, he only started eight Premier League games last season.
Wales team-mate Ashley Williams also looks very good value after joining Everton from Swansea for £12m. A drop in the ocean these days.
Nathan Redmond feels like he hasn't reached his true potential yet but Southampton paid £10m to take him from Norwich and, based on their record in the past five years, he will be a £30m player by 2018. Likewise for their £12.8m midfield signing from Bayern Munich, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
But the Saints did lose a player who had 12 months left on his deal for a cut-price fee - midfield enforcer Victor Wanyama joining Tottenham for £11m.
Manchester City paid £13.8m to get regular La Liga scorer Nolito, who notched double figures in Spain's top flight for the past three seasons despite being a winger (14 in 13-14, 13 in 14-15 and 12 in an injury-hit 15-16). Barcelona also wanted to sign the Spain international.
Leicester have paid £7.5m for Euro 2016 star Bartosz Kapustka, a 19-year-old winger, while Everton paid £7m for Idrissa Gana, the Villa midfielder who had better passing stats than N'Golo Kante in the Premier League last season.
Even if we look at the cheaper (by Premier League standards) players who cost £2m or less there are some potential stars. Crystal Palace have paid a reported £1.5m to get the four-time French Ligue 1 goalkeeper of the year, Marseille legend Steve Mandanda. At 31, the France international has time to establish himself as one of the Premier League's top keepers.
Stoke have paid up to £5m to get 19-year-old Egyptian winger Ramadan Sobhi, who has already made 71 first-team appearances for Al Ahly. West Ham have got a potential star in Sofiane Feghouli, who they picked up from Valencia. The 26-year-old Algeria winger has had disciplinary problems but on his day can be unplayable.
There has never been a better time to join the Premier League party as the £5.136bn TV deal starts this summer, although there is a clear hierarchy of who is best placed to do well.
Middlesbrough's nine signings have included some big names, including Euro 2012 winners Alvaro Negredo and Victor Valdes. They spent £12m on Atalanta midfielder Marten de Roon, while attacking duo Viktor Fischer and Gaston Ramirez have also come in.
Burnley have brought in a handful of players - youngsters, loanees and Football League players - and Hull, well, where to start? In the week leading up to the Premier League opener, they had no manager and 13 fit players. The squad is weaker than it was last season, with star midfielder Mo Diame heading to Newcastle and nobody of note coming in.
But how do promoted teams do generally?
Of the 71 promoted teams to play in the Premier League, 44% of them - 31 - have been immediately relegated. Or to give it a more positive spin, more than half of them stay up. The average finishing position is 15th.
None of Boro, Burnley or Hull can realistically hope to be the most successful promoted Premier League team - Newcastle (1993-94) and Nottingham Forest (1994-95), finished third.
Only twice have all three stayed up - 2001-02 and 2011-12 - and only once have they all gone down - 1997-98.
In recent years there has been an upturn in fortune for top-flight newbies and returnees. Since 2008-09, there has been only one season in which two of the three promoted clubs have gone straight back down (2014-15). In the five seasons prior to that, it happened four times (2003-04, 2004-05, 2006-07 and 2007-08).

The ruling comes after BBC Scotland sought a copy of the report under Freedom of Information legislation.
The report was kept secret by Aberdeen City Council because it contained details of senior managers' conduct.
It was commissioned after the revelation that babies were being cremated with unrelated adults.
The ashes of both were being handed to relatives of the adult for scattering.
The report's remit included the role of the director responsible for the crematorium, Pete Leonard, who resigned.
He had been quoted as referring to "slow cooking" babies - comments for which he was heavily criticised.
BBC Scotland understands the conduct of Mr Leonard and his senior team was investigated, but not that of chief executive Angela Scott.
Personal details and the views of the report's author on the conduct of individuals can still be redacted because of the potential influence on any disciplinary actions.
But the local authority has been told it must publish the majority of the report by 1 September.
In a decision notice, the acting Information Commissioner Margaret Keyse is critical of the council which repeatedly changed its reasons for not making the report public.
She said: "The council's actions suggest it was intentionally trying to prevent [BBC Scotland] accessing information it could quite readily provide."
Aberdeen City Council had argued that some of the information contained within the report was already in the public domain but that the same information should be withheld because of the risk of prejudicing future investigations.
The ruling said the justifications for withholding the report were "wholly inadequate".
It went on to express concern that "disclosure of the information in full... would allow members of the public to draw their own (and possibly incorrect) conclusions regarding an individual's involvement in, or responsibility for, any failings at Hazlehead, in advance of any further investigations being carried out".
Aberdeen City Council further argued the level of intrusion into the private lives of individuals mentioned in the report was "unwarranted".
The commissioner accepted there was a public interest in publication because of the senior posts held by those who were being investigated.
She also dismissed a claim that publishing the report would "cause harm" to the council as "somewhat over-stated".
A spokesperson for the council said: "We have received initial notification from the Scottish Information Commissioner and the full decision will be considered in due course.
"We are committed to complying with the requirements in the timeframe specified by the SIC."
The council's internal inquiry followed an investigation by Dame Elish Angiolini into practices at crematoriums across Scotland.
The former Lord Advocate said the process of cremating bodies together may have been going on from 1967 until a change of management in 2011.
Her report said there was no overall strategic management of the crematorium by Aberdeen City Council and that the focus among officials was on budget rather than policy.
It said an Infant Cremation Commission led by Lord Bonomy was misled about practices taking place there.
The council has since apologised and compensation has been paid to dozens of affected parents.
Five family members died in March when their car went off Buncrana pier in County Donegal and into Lough Swilly.
Davitt Walsh, who was on the pier, swam to the car from which the four-month-old child was handed to him.
Mr Walsh, 30, from Kerrykeel, was awarded the Michael Heffernan Gold Medal for Marine Gallantry on Friday.
Presented by Irish Transport Minister Shane Ross, the honour was in recognition of the County Donegal man's "bravery at huge peril to his own safety to risk life, in an effort to save the life of a child".
Those who died were Ruth Daniels, 57, her daughter Jodie Lee Daniels, 14, Sean McGrotty, 49, and his sons Mark, 12, and Evan, eight.
They were the mother, sister, partner and two sons of Louise James, from Londonderry.
Mr Walsh, a former Irish League and League of Ireland footballer, managed to save baby Rionaghac-Ann.
He later said that he felt "terrible" that he could not do more.
The show, which opens at Tate Britain on Wednesday, is her first major London retrospective for almost 50 years.
It brings together more than 100 works including her earliest carvings, major sculptures and previously-unseen photos from her studio.
"I think there's more interest in her now than there was 25 to 30 years ago," said Tate director Penelope Curtis.
Hepworth, whose artistic career spanned five decades, was born in Wakefield, Yorkshire, in 1903. Her love of landscape came from drives around West Riding with her father in the course of his work as county surveyor.
She was inspired to become a sculptor after seeing a slideshow of Egyptian art at school. She studied at Leeds School of Art from 1920-1921 where she first met fellow Yorkshire-born artist Henry Moore.
In 1949 Hepworth bought Trewyn Studio in St Ives where she lived until her death in an accidental fire in 1975 at the age of 72.
One of her best known works is Single Form (1961-4) a 6.4 metre-high bronze which stands outside the United Nations building in New York.
Curtis, who co-curated the Tate show, said one of its key aims was to emphasise Hepworth's prominence on the international art scene.
"People in Britain tend to think of her as a rather British artist," she told the BBC.
"Henry Moore has never been seen as a sculptor from Hertfordshire even though he was there for 40 years, but Barbara Hepworth has always been connected to St Ives. That's true - but it's not the whole story, so we felt that one major corrective we could make was to think about her internationally."
The exhibition opens with Hepworth's earliest surviving carvings, including Doves (1927), which appear alongside works by Moore and Hepworth's first husband John Skeaping.
It also features never-before-seen photo albums which offer an insight into her home and studio life with her second husband and fellow artist Ben Nicholson.
One corner of the exhibition tells the intriguing story of when, in 1947, Hepworth was one of six artists - including Henry Moore - invited by London County Council to submit designs for four monumental sculptures situated on Waterloo Bridge.
"Hepworth spent a great amount of time sitting on the bridge observing people as they went past," said Tate assistant curator Inga Fraser. "She was incredibly excited by the competition, which was plagued with difficulties from the very beginning."
Eventually, none of the submissions were accepted and the plinths remain empty to this day.
In the post-war period, Hepworth's sculptures became a prominent feature on the international scene.
The latter part of the exhibition reunites four large works in African hardwood guarea (1954-5) which many see as the high point of Hepworth's carving career. Each is named after places Hepworth visited on a trip to Greece after the death of her son, Paul Skeaping, in an RAF plane crash over Thailand.
The last room displays bronzes from her 1965 retrospective at the Kroller-Muller Museum in the Netherlands, with a partial reconstruction of the pavilion where they were shown.
At Monday's press launch, Curtis revealed that there had been a search across Europe to source the "right kind of brick" for the reconstructed pavilion.
However, the bricks were eventually obtained from a builders' merchant in Vauxhall - just a short hop across the Thames from Tate Britain.
Barbara Hepworth: Sculpture for a Modern World is at Tate Britain 24 June - 25 October 2015 (admission charge)- it tours to the Kroller-Muller Museum, Otterlo, this autumn and to the Arp Museum, Rolandseck, in Germany next year.
It means the shape of the cube alone is not enough to protect it from being copied.
UK company Seven Towns, which manages Rubik's Cube's intellectual property rights, registered its shape as a trademark in the 1990s.
But German firm Simba Toys challenged the trademark protection in 2006.
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) agreed that the cube's ability to rotate should be protected by a patent and not a trademark.
Patents protect inventions for a certain amount of time, while trademarks give intellectual property owners exclusive rights to their designs.
Simba Toys took its case to the Luxembourg-based European Union Court of Justice (ECJ) after the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and a lower EU court had dismissed its lawsuit.
The ECJ judges ruled: "In examining whether registration ought to be refused on the ground that shape involved a technical solution, EUIPO and the General Court should also have taken into account non-visible functional elements represented by that shape, such as its rotating capability."
Rubik's Cube, which was invented in 1974 by Hungarian architecture professor Erno Rubik, has enduring popularity and has sold more than 400 million cubes worldwide.
Seven Towns registered the Rubik's Cube as a three-dimensional EU trademark with the EUIPO in 1999.
As part of the Simba Toys challenge, in 2014 the European Union General Court decided the three-dimensional trademark was valid, and ordered Simba to pay costs.
Alex Brodie, a partner at Gowling WLG, said that the judgement was "no surprise" given the ECJ handed down a similar decision regarding Lego bricks in 2010.
She said: "The Rubik brand still stands but it doesn't have a monopoly on the shape of the cube puzzle under trade mark law.
"Others are now free to create such a puzzle - provided Rubik doesn't have other IP rights - but they cannot call it Rubik and they cannot copy the get up of Rubik - this decision is solely about the shape of the product."
"We wait to see whether the consumer market is waiting for an alternative cube puzzle and how this judgment will in fact affect the puzzle market," Ms Brodie said.
However, she added that there will probably be a greater impact on toy and games firms reviewing their three-dimensional trademark registrations.
He admitted 30 indecent assault charges and one offence of indecency towards a child. All his victims were under 16.
Many of the counts included multiple incidents and are estimated to account for hundreds of individual assaults.
Napier, from Sherborne in Dorset, was at one time treasurer of the Paedophile Information Exchange.
The group campaigned on behalf of paedophiles in the 1970s and 1980s.
The judge said there was "no doubt" he had become a teacher because of the proximity it offered him to young boys, some of whom had been "dramatically damaged" by his crimes.
The court heard that one boy was indecently assaulted on eight separate occasions between 1969 and 1972.
Napier forced another boy to commit a sex act on him.
Francis Wheen, a victim of Napier who has waived his right to anonymity, told the BBC how the teacher would win boys' trust by offering them sweets, fizzy drinks and cigarettes.
He related that he stayed away from Napier after the teacher tried to put his hand down his shorts, but others had suffered more serious abuse which left them "very badly damaged".
"He was in a position of trust which he abused wholesale," said Mr Wheen.
He was cleared of one other charge in October because of lack of evidence.
Much of the abuse took place in a workshop at the school where he taught.
Napier is the half-brother of Conservative MP John Whittingdale.
He left the school in the early 1970s and went on to hold jobs working with children in Cairo and Sweden.
Prosecuting, Peter Clement said Napier "exploited his role and his position of trust for his own sexual gratification".
Acting Detective Chief Inspector Keith Braithwaite described Napier as "an arrogant, controlling and manipulative individual who has shown no remorse".
Det Chief Insp Braithwaite thanked those who came forward to give evidence, adding that he hoped the sentence indicated how seriously the courts take such offences.
He was arrested in 2013 as part of Operation Cayacos, one strand of Scotland Yard's wider investigation into historical child abuse called Operation Fairbank.
Operation Fairbank was launched in 2012 after Labour MP Tom Watson wrote to the police about allegations of a paedophile ring linked to Westminster.
During interviews with the police Napier told officers he had been "completely out of control" and was "desperately sorry" for his actions.
Met Office figures released on Tuesday showed December 2015 was the wettest December on record for Wales, with 217% the average rainfall for the month. And it was the wettest calendar month in the UK since records began in 1910.
But despite 359mm (14in) of rain compared to 137mm (5in) in England, Wales did not see the same level of devastating floods which affected parts of the north of England, where there was widespread damage and large-scale evacuations.
So does this mean Wales' flood defences are working?
Natural Resources Wales said existing defences had protected Dolgellau in Gwynedd, and Llandudno Junction in Conwy - but with rising rainfall and changes in wind patterns, scenes like those in England could easily happen this side of the border.
The Met Office said the north of England was particularly badly hit because of a number of factors relating to wind patterns and weather fronts.
Wind direction and where weather fronts ended meant places like Cumbria were "in the firing line" for heavy rainfall, forecasters said.
While Wales also saw torrential downpours, once the rain has fallen other factors come into play including the size of rivers, the shapes of the hills and valleys - which affect what is happening on the ground.
Jeremy Parr, head of flood and operational risk management for Natural Resources Wales, said there were prolonged periods of heavy rain and the impact was felt widely across Wales - but flood prevention schemes and weather factors meant it did escape the worst of the UK's flooding disruption.
"The Met Office station in Capel Curig had record rainfall, with more than three times the average for December.
"However, the worst of the storms and rainfall tracked... to other parts of the UK and so the impacts there were much greater.
"While places like Dolgellau and Llandudno Junction did not flood this time thanks to the schemes which help protect them, we can never completely prevent all flooding. We need to learn to adapt to flooding, and there is no 'one size fits all' solution.
"We need a range of actions and sustained investment over a long period of time."
Environmental journalist George Monbiot said a "temperature anomaly" in the North Pole had caused an unusual wind pattern which affected England more than Wales.
"I know there was some quite serious flooding around mid Wales," he said.
"But there was a really weird pattern of where the rain fell. I understand there was an incredibly weird temperature anomaly in the North Pole, where temperatures which would normally be -40C reaching 1C or 2C.
"This caused a powerful anti-clockwise wind flow sweeping clouds around, just clipping the edge of Wales but hammering England."
Mr Parr added that weather patterns were changing and more intense rainfall was becoming more frequent.
"The scenes over the border could very easily have happened here in Wales," he said.
The Met Office said it was also an exceptionally mild month, smashing the previous December record set in 1934 due to an "El Nino" phenomena, and a warmer atmosphere carries a larger amount of moisture.
El Nino may be another reason for the wet and mild weather. It is a band of unusually warm waters over the tropical pacific oceans.
It forms naturally every few years and disrupts weather patterns all over the world, bringing torrential downpours to California and drought to Australia.
In the UK, the consequences are less clear.
December 2010 was the coldest for a century, with snow and ice causing chaos across Wales.
People living in flood risk areas can do some things to help be prepared should the worst happen:

Over the past year, several athletes have made claims of discrimination, which British Cycling denies.
Scottish ex-track cyclist Hoy, 41, said "every one of the riders has the right for their grievances to be heard".
But he added he felt the subject had become "sensationalised" through "very public mudslinging and media coverage".
The most recent athlete to come forward was ex-rider Wendy Houvenaghel, who said a "medal at any cost" approach created a "culture of fear" at British Cycling.
Jess Varnish first spoke about her experience within British Cycling after she was dropped from the elite programme last April.
She claimed former technical director Shane Sutton used sexist language towards her, and the Australian, who quit in the wake of the allegations, was found to have used the word "bitches" when describing female riders.

"It feels terrible to think that anyone has ever experienced bullying or discrimination during their time with British Cycling," Hoy said.
"As an elite athlete, I trained to win. Training was at times brutal - it has to be when you want to represent your country and to be the world's best.
"I believe all of this contributed to help bring out the best in me when it counted. I would not have achieved what I did without them and will be forever grateful for what they did."

An investigation into the culture at British Cycling was launched last year after ex-riders complained about their treatment.
A report on its findings is imminent, but after a draft version was leaked in March, British Cycling chairman Jonathan Browning apologised for "failings" and said the governing body would be making changes to be more caring to riders.
That includes a 39-point action plan to "systematically address the cultural and behavioural shortcomings". On Thursday, Michael Chivers was appointed as new 'people director'.
On BBC Radio 5 live on Friday, Chivers was asked whether athlete welfare would ever be prioritised over medal success.
He said: "The culture is high performance and challenge. Our athletes do not want to finish second.
"If we can create a high-support environment... we can actually be more successful going forward. But no, we can never sacrifice the success. This makes Britain proud."
Hoy added: "Every organisation has a responsibility to stamp out bullying and discrimination.
"From what I read and understand through various conversations, British Cycling recognise they've fallen short in a number of areas.
"Some may argue it's too little too late, but even for those who did feel let down by British Cycling in the past, it's encouraging to know that it is now engaging with those riders.
"I don't doubt for one second that every single person involved in this process has the interests of our sport at heart."
United led 2-1 after the first leg at Cappielow and second-half goals from Simon Murray, Wato Kuate and Blair Spittal settled the tie at Tannadice.
Ray McKinnon's men face Championship runners-up Falkirk on the 16 and 19 May, with the first leg at Tannadice.
The Bairns lost the play-off final last term, and United were relegated.
With former United boss Peter Houston guiding Falkirk to second place in the division, third-placed United were left to battle with Morton and the visitors started this match brightly.
However, wasteful delivery and a failure to take advantage of several set pieces limited them to one Kudus Oyenuga effort that went narrowly wide in the first half.
Morton goalkeeper Jamie McGowan - standing in for the ill Derek Gaston - produced an excellent one-handed save to prevent Tony Andreu's header finding the net.
But, like the first leg, United took control in the second half and Murray netted his 16th goal of the season. Thomas O'Ware failed to deal with Stewart Murdoch's cross and striker Murray pounced to finish from six yards.
Morton had an immediate chance to get back into the tie, but Oyenuga could only head over Aiden Nesbitt's cross from the left.
The Tangerines did not waste any time punishing their visitors and it came out of the blue.
Kuate picked the ball up 25 yards out and pinged a superb strike into the top-left corner for his first goal since joining United in March.
The job was completed when Spittal burst into the box and finished Murray's cut-back. He - like Murray - had scored in the first leg.
Dundee United manager Ray McKinnon: "It was a pretty even first half. Morton made it difficult, battled, and we had to match that. The second half I thought we were excellent, they played some really, really nice football, got it down, moved it and linked the play very well, and I'm delighted with the result.
"Our form's been going the last six or seven weeks - we probably should have won every game on the chances created. I did say if we got a wee bit of luck in front of goal our luck would change.
"But I think they're starting to get the rewards for their performances - they certainly did tonight."
Morton manager Jim Duffy: "I think 5-1 is a very unfair scoreline. Both games we've dominated the first half, but the game's about 90 minutes, not dominating for periods.
"It's what you do in that period that's important - you've got to be clinical and we didn't show that in the opposition penalty box.
"Tactically, our organisation was terrific, but you've got to hurt the opposition when you're controlling the game. And Dundee United's wee bit of extra quality and physicality in key areas eventually made them comprehensive winners."

The 60-year-old Scottish actor, who was born in Burma and grew up in Kenya, played DI Robbie Ross in STV's detective drama Taggart for 12 years.
He then moved to Britain's biggest soap to play Karl Munro in Coronation Street.
While that character was serving life for murder he has hopped to the BBC to play consultant neurosurgeon Guy Self in Holby City.
Michie has also appeared in films and plays, mostly recently in a Winter's Tale at Edinburgh's Lyceum.
Forty years ago he remembers beginning his career as a stage hand at the city's Traverse Theatre, bringing cups of tea to the actors.
He told BBC Radio Scotland's Stark Talk that his father was brought up in the Campsie Hills but after World War Two there was no work and he was sent east by his family to get a job in banking.
He went first to India and met Michie's mother, a Lancastrian nurse, in Mumbai.
Michie moved to Kenya when he was three and lived there until he was 12, during the period when the East African nation fought for and won its independence from Britain.
He told Edi Stark: "It was a wonderful life if you were from that minority of Europeans who lived a colonial life.
"I was unaware of what that really meant but I loved it.
"It needed independence obviously but at the time for me as a young white kid it was bliss."
Kenya gained its independence in 1964 and Michie's father stayed for a while but eventually he moved the family back to Scotland, taking a job at the Royal Bank of Scotland in Edinburgh.
Michie had attended a prep school in England from the age of eight and he was now sent as a boarder to the exclusive Glenalmond private school in the Perthshire countryside, where his father had been a pupil.
Michie says: "Glenalmond was radically different from this forward-thinking hippy-type school in Sussex.
"It was old-fashioned, strict, hardly a woman to be seen and you are kept in that environment until you are young man of 18 - not healthy."
He says he did not begin acting at the remote all-boys school because "as a 13-year-old quite-nice-looking young lad" he would have been made to take the girls' parts.
"I'd have to put on a wig and a dress and I thought there is no way I am doing that to have a load of older boys ogling at me," he says.
"So consequently I did no drama.
"By the time I got to 17 or 18 I was way too rebellious to want to do it anyway."
He says the only things to do at the school were take drugs and pass exams.
His rebellious streak saw him caught smoking marijuana, he says.
"I was desperate to see a bit of the world and have fun so I went off travelling to Australia, ended up herding cattle and picking tobacco and selling paintings.
"Then I went to university to do English and Law but I knew it wasn't for me because I really wanted to be an actor.
"So I jacked it all in and went back to Edinburgh and got a job as a stage hand at the Traverse."
His career did not take off straight away and it was quite a while before he landed major roles.
From 1998 he spent over a decade on Taggart, a detective series set in Glasgow.
"I'm from Edinburgh but I just love Glasgow," he says.
"Taggart was such a great job because no-one was carrying the whole show.
"It was split between three or four of us and we were on location all over the place, different story every episode and great fun. We all got on famously well."
He says he loved playing DI Ross, an "unpredictable" detective with a liking for a drink and an attractive woman.
Michie, a father of three who has been with his partner for 28 years, says there is an element of himself in every character he plays.
"I didn't get with Carol until I was 31 and I had a lot of lost time to make up for after school," he says.
Carol is a former dancer with the Hot Gossip dance troupe who he met when she was the choreographer on a Walkers crisp advert.
The couple now live in London with their family but from 2011 to 2013 he drew on his mother's Manchester roots when he took on a part in Coronation Street.
He says the soap was the first TV programme he ever saw because his mum, who was from Rochdale, used to watch it.
"It was the weirdest thing," he says.
"A kid from Africa watching the goings-on in the working class back streets of Salford."
Michie played the character of Karl with a Manchester accent, drawing on his experience of his relatives with whom he spent time when he could not go back to Africa in the school holidays.
He says the pain of separation from his parents means he can draw on "deep emotional feelings very quickly".
Michie, whose nephew Jamie Michie plays Steelshanks in Game of Thrones, says getting into a part should be "dangerous".
He says: "I remember once having to play someone who was bipolar and I went a little bit too far.
"It was in the theatre and I hyperventilated for 20 minutes walking around the theatre.
"I was supposed to have a fit in the show and people don't believe me when I say this but I actually did have a fit on stage.
"It was very disturbing. No-one realised that I had had it for real. They just thought I was overacting, which was kind of ironic."

The words are on a vinyl record, although this is more than a recording of memories.
The ashes of Madge Hobson are combined with the vinyl, with a photograph and details of her life printed on the labels.
"It makes the perfect family record, which can be passed down the generations," says Jason Leach, 46, the founder of And Vinyly, which produced the disc.
The firm is part of a fast-growing sector of the end-of-life industry. No longer need ashes be stored in an urn or scattered to the wind. Now you can wear, drink from, or display a little part of what is left of your loved one.
Mr Hobson, a 69-year-old sculptor, says his mother, a devout churchgoer, would thoroughly approve of her record.
"I had to weigh out a quantity of the ashes [which had been kept in an urn], and put a large teaspoonful into a number of small plastic bags, one for each disc," he says.
Fifteen records were pressed for family and friends. Says Mr Hobson: "I think And Vinyly has undoubtedly helped to keep the memory of my mother alive."
Mr Leach, based in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, began pondering the possibilities of pressing ashes into records about 10 years ago.
There was no business plan. He was just reflecting on mortality, issues brought into sharper focus when his mother began work at a funeral directors.
"I was amazed by how little I or any of my friends had even properly considered or even accepted our own mortality, and how incredibly sheltered many of us are from death and conversations around it," Mr Leach says.
"It was not intended to be a business. It was the result of having a bit of fun with what at the time felt like a shocking and disconcerting inevitability."
The process is the same as making a standard vinyl disc, with ashes (human or pet) added at a specific stage in production.
"It's a balance between adding enough ashes so as to be seen, but not so much as to affect the grooves' smooth playing," says Mr Leach.
"There will, of course, be some extra pops and crackles resulting from the inclusion of ashes - but we like these, as this is you."
Prices vary as every request is different, he says. A basic package costs about £900, rising to about £3,000.
Options include 7-inch or 12-inch discs, specially-composed music, a portrait painted on the record using the ashes, and clear or coloured vinyl.
Mr Leach, a music producer and music label owner, currently presses about two discs a month that have human ashes added to them, on equipment he already owns.
But he is in the process of arranging more funding to meet rising demand. He is also linking with funeral homes which will offer the service. "The concept markets itself," he says.
"Of course, there are those who find it strange, even creepy, but most people actually come round to the idea."
And his plans for his own record? Spoken words from him, his partner of more than 25 years, and their two daughters, plus some music he has written.
"I like to think about my great, great grandchildren listening to me. This is about as close to time travel as I'm going to get," he says.
In Domat/Ems, Switzerland, Rinaldo Willy, 37, has another way of keeping memories alive - turning ashes into diamonds.
"I was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 21, and therefore was sensitised to the topic of death," he says.
While a business studies student, in 2003, he read about isolating carbon from ashes to create synthetic diamonds. A year later, with his professor, he founded Algordanza.
A diamond is 99.9% carbon, while the human body is 20%. After cremation about 1-5% of carbon remains.
Natural diamonds - symbols of love and the everlasting - are created under enormous pressure and high temperatures inside of the earth. Algordanza replicates the process in its laboratory, creating stones within weeks.
About 85 diamonds a month are made, costing between about £2,800 and £12,700.

The start-up investment in Algordanza was £300,000, with Mr Willy using all his savings.
"After six years, we were able to pay ourselves a proper salary," he says. The business now employs 60 people worldwide, with 12 based at the Switzerland headquarters.
Many of Algordanza's customers have gone through huge trauma. "We have families who lost someone in events and incidents such as the tsunami in Thailand, the earthquake in Chile, soldiers who lost their lives on duty in Afghanistan, the terror attack in Madrid, the flight crash of Germanwings," Mr Willy says.
In Santa Fe, in the US, Justin Crowe, 29, uses cremated ashes as raw material for pottery.
A fine art graduate, he founded Chronicle Cremation Designs in 2016. He already ran a ceramics studio, so needed minimal initial investment. But he has now raised $100,000 (£78,400) seed funding to expand.
A typical ceramic glaze is made up of flint, minerals and clay. "We've developed a special glaze recipe that incorporates the cremated remains, which ultimately function to form the gloss you see on the surface of the work," Mr Crowe says.
His Lifeware product line includes vases, urns, and coffee cups. The most popular items are candle luminaries and jewellery. Prices range from $195 for a necklace up to $995 for a large bowl.
He gets plenty of unusual requests, such as from a women who wanted the ashes of her sister and two dogs glazed on to coffee mugs.
Mr Crowe acknowledges that some people feel that transforming someone into a piece of homeware is disrespectful.
But, he says, a flower vase or candle holder provide daily reminders of loved ones. "Ultimately, the pieces are about keeping memories close in daily life."

He rose above a static defence to head in from a corner then pounced on a Rob Kiernan mistake with a deft finish.
Joe Garner headed a reply before the break, but Dembele set up Scott Sinclair for a finish off a post.
Rangers' Philippe Senderos was sent off after a handball led to a second yellow card, before Dembele and Stuart Armstrong exposed the 10 men.
Victory lifts Brendan Rodgers' Scottish Premiership leaders - and reigning champions - four points clear of their city rivals, who started the day in second place, with a game in hand.
Mark Warburton's visitors, who won the Championship title last season, rarely looked like rescuing even a point once Dembele, the summer arrival from Fulham having started in place of the injured Leigh Griffiths, opened the scoring after a fairly even first 33 minutes.
The French striker thus became the first player to score a hat-trick in an Old Firm league derby for 50 years.
This dominant performance sets Celtic up nicely for Tuesday's opening Champions League group game against Barcelona.
To lose a striker of Griffiths' quality - he will not play in Barcelona either - was a blow for Celtic. The job of leading the line fell to young Dembele, playing in his first Old Firm game at the age of 20.
Dembele was utterly magnificent. A close-range header from a Sinclair corner for the first, gorgeous composure when cutting inside Senderos and coolly beating goalkeeper Wes Foderingham with the outside of his right boot for the second - and then a precise pass to Sinclair for the third.
A Celtic star was born, but he completed the hat-trick just to reinforce the legend, the first by a Celtic player in an Old Firm league match since Stevie Chalmers half a century ago.
Mikael Lustig's cross dipped over the head of Joey Barton - in the midst of the crisis, the midfielder went back to centre-half - and Dembele smashed home Celtic's fourth.
The Scott Brown versus Barton dynamic was a major part of the build-up. The first significant clash between the pair of them was won, critically, by Brown when the Celtic captain came out on top in an aerial battle that led to a Sinclair attack that brought a corner and the opening goal for Dembele.
A free header from such close-range was dreadful defending from Rangers - and it got worse. Kiernan gifted the ball to Tom Rogic in the preamble to the second goal and they were sliced open again for the third.
Celtic are too clever and too ruthless to look such gift horses in the mouth.
Senderos' 75th-minute red card was another illustration of Rangers' travails. David Weir, Rangers' assistant manager, was sent to the stand soon after.
Psychologically, they were gone by then, on and off the pitch. Out-classed - and how Celtic Park basked in it.
Celtic had chances to add to their goal tally. Foderingham saved from Armstrong, who was terrific when he came on, and saved again from Dembele.
Brown went off to a rousing ovation after a performance that might have Barton recalibrating his opinion of him.
The fourth eventually came - and it was a historic moment for Dembele. The fifth, a neat finish from Armstrong, brought further joy for Celtic and more humiliation for their visitors.
One way traffic and a giant chasm between these sides.

The 43-year-old scored for Blackburn on their last Cup trip to Anfield, when they knocked the Reds out of the 1999-2000 competition with a 1-0 victory.
Rovers have already beaten Premier League sides Swansea and Stoke to reach Sunday's quarter-final.
"With confidence, you can achieve anything," former Wales international Blake told BBC Radio Lancashire.
Like the current side, Blackburn were playing in England's second-tier when they overcame Liverpool 15 years ago.
But Blake said the manner in which the Championship side defeated Stoke 4-1 in the fifth round made them a particularly dangerous proposition for Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool.
"The way they beat Stoke, it's not like they got away with it, they took them to task, put them to bed," said Blake, who also played for Cardiff, Sheffield United, Bolton, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Leicester and Leeds during a 15-year career.
"The manner in which they won that game, they should be flying high on confidence."
Blake recalled scoring his late winner against a Liverpool side that included a young Steven Gerrard as a "great memory".
He said: "I remember it being a real ding-dong game - it was a great occasion.
"Everyone had written us off, Blackburn as a club had been written off at the time, but we went to Anfield and it was a good game.
"I can't say we had it all over them at any point, but we held our own and quite late on I managed to pick up a ball from Per Frandsen and slot it with my right, first time."
Two police operations - called Daybreak and Xeres - are currently under way.
Nottinghamshire County Council now intends to establish a Historical Child Abuse Unit.
The unit would have six members of full-time staff and three part-time staff, at a cost of £614,000 for two years.
"The total number of allegations since Operations Daybreak and Xeres were established is unprecedented and requires a significant increase in capacity to ensure the council is providing adequate support," a council report states.
The establishment of the unit will be considered by councillors on 21 September.
Nottinghamshire Police launched Operation Daybreak in August 2010, and it concerns allegations relating to children's homes in Nottingham and southern Nottinghamshire.
Operation Xeres was launched in 2015 and concerns allegations relating to children's homes in central and northern Nottinghamshire.
The report states: "It is important to note that referrals relating to historical child abuse may continue and so a review is required to determine what resource is required beyond April 2017."
He has agreed a three-year deal but has immediately been sent out on a two-year loan to German side Werder Bremen.

All-rounder Stokes, 25, has been suffering from a knee problem but bowled in practice on Wednesday.
"I certainly see him bowling," said England captain Eoin Morgan.
Morgan also confirmed Chris Woakes is fit and Jason Roy will retain his place opening the batting.
All-rounder Woakes missed the final two matches of the 2-1 series win against South Africa with a muscle problem, while Roy has been struggling for form.
However, Morgan stated that the Surrey batsman will be playing on his home ground of The Oval and that he "cannot see it changing" throughout the tournament, despite the recent good form of Jonny Bairstow.
Stokes showed signs of his knee problem in the first ODI against South Africa last week and despite making a century in the second ODI, only bowled three overs.
He then sat out the final game at Lord's on Monday as England were thrashed by seven wickets.
"It's a very strange injury in that it's only in his delivery stride that he feels the pain," added Morgan, who said that Stokes would play as a batsman alone if he was not fit to bowl.
The Irishman also stated that Stokes is unlikely to bowl 10 overs, but the Durham man has only bowled his full allocation in an ODI on three occasions in the past two years.
England, who have never won a global 50-over trophy, begin the eight-team tournament as favourites with the bookmakers only 15 months after a shambolic World Cup campaign that saw them eliminated in the first round.
They are joined in Group A by Australia and New Zealand, the two World Cup finalists, with the top two teams progressing to the semi-finals.
Since that tournament, Morgan's men have lost only three of their 11 one-day series, with their success based heavily on a powerful batting unit that has posted totals in excess of 300 on 21 occasions.
"We need to bring our 'A' game in order to win. If at the end of it we're holding the trophy then we will have played really well," said Morgan. "It's about delivering in every game."
England's World Cup exit was confirmed by a defeat against Bangladesh in Adelaide, and the symmetry of facing the same opponents in this tournament was acknowledged by Morgan.
"Since then we have been on a huge upward curve," he said. "We have had a group of players that have bought into a way of playing and have executed it really well.
"It's been an absolute pleasure to work with this group of players."

Bangladesh are playing in the Champions Trophy for the first time since it was trimmed to eight teams in 2009.
They qualified through the International Cricket Council's ODI rankings, denying West Indies, and have since climbed to sixth on that list - only one place behind England.
"We have played good cricket over the past two or three years," said captain Mashrafe Mortaza. "Our cricket is moving in the right direction and we have to continue the good things that we are doing.
"We know on our day we can beat anybody. We have to start well."
The pace bowler admitted his side were facing a different England to the one they beat in 2015, but said that more pressure would be on the hosts.
"England are a totally different team. Over the past two years they have won almost everything. At home they are a serious side," said Mortaza.
"They feel more pressure than us because they want the trophy, especially with this happening in their home."

In a speech ahead of Wednesday's Spending Review, the shadow chancellor said automation posed a risk to manual workers and future advances must be used to "liberate, not trap" people.
He also suggested firms sitting on "vast piles" of cash may pay more tax.
This, he said, could be used to boost skills and infrastructure investment.
Chancellor George Osborne will set out his spending plans for the next four years on Wednesday.
Most departmental budgets - excluding health, education, international aid and defence - are expected to be cut by more than 25% as the government works towards its goal of eliminating the budget deficit and securing a surplus in both day-to-day and overall spending by 2020.
The government has accused Labour of fiscal irresponsibility, saying it has not come up with any ideas for savings and its plans would result in higher borrowing and taxes and put the economic recovery at risk.
Labour is calling for an alternative approach to George Osborne's cuts programme, opposing what it describes as "austerity for austerity's sake" and pledging to invest more than the government in infrastructure, skills and research and development.
Laying out his vision in a speech to the Imperial College Incubator, Mr McDonnell said the UK spent less on R&D than the United States, China, France and Germany and needed to change course if it was to create a "secure, high-wage, productive economy".
"Unless we change our political choices, the vat majority will be denied the opportunities that technological change presents," he said.
"Working with businesses, workers and civil society, governments today can and must seize the change to change how we live and work, both now and in the future."
A future Labour government's goal would be to build a new economy "where technology liberates rather than traps, where the fruits of scientific advance are shared by all", adding that this amounted to "socialism but socialism with an iPad".
Referring to Bank of England research suggesting 15 million jobs were at risk from automation, he said technological changes could exacerbate inequality.
"Those most a risk from automation are the low-paid. For those who own robots, of course, it will be a different story."
As part of a new economic settlement, he said Labour would spend 3% of national output on infrastructure by 2030 and extend the "same rights and protections" available to full-time salaried staff to all workers so they enjoyed "security of income against uncertainty".
In his Labour conference speech in September, leader Jeremy Corbyn floated the idea of extending rights to parental leave, holiday and sickness benefits to the self-employed and others on casual and flexible contracts.
Restating this, Mr McDonnell said: "Technological change. and the unfettered free market, are tearing up the old work contract. Labour, instead, will offer a new contract for a new workforce."
Labour's move to the left under Mr Corbyn has worried some businesses but Mr McDonnell insisted he wants to agree a "compact" with the City of London and with UK PLC generally to increase wealth creation and enterprise.
"Labour in government will bring together business, unions, and scientists in a new Innovation Policy strategy, with a mission-led goal to boost research and development spending, and maximise the social and economic benefits from that expenditure," he said.
But Mr McDonnell said that, despite record profits, large businesses had amassed cash reserves of ??400bn and some of this needed to be used to generate investment in skills and address the "dire shortages" in some industries.
"We will also look to ways to change our corporate tax system and work constructively with companies to give them the incentives to invest wisely," he said.
"A higher tax on retained earnings should be investigated."
The shadow chancellor, one of Mr Corbyn's key allies, has been criticised by some in his party for changing his position on deficit reduction, which critics say has further undermined its credibility on the economy after its election defeat.
Having originally committed to backing the government's plan to balance the books over the next three years, Mr McDonnell did a u-turn last month, which he later admitted was "embarrassing", and said he would not set a deadline for clearing the deficit.
But he defend his approach, saying Mr Osborne's fiscal targets risk opening up a "massive deficit with the future". Labour, he insisted, would balance the books in a "sensible" way that is "consistent with sustainable economic growth whilst allowing vital investment to continue" in key areas
"George Osborne may be trying to close the fiscal deficit," he said. "But by failing to invest, he is opening up a massive deficit with the future."

In a speech at the Edinburgh Television Festival, Nicola Sturgeon said BBC Scotland should be given more influence and a greater slice of the licence fee.
And she called for a new BBC Scotland TV channel to be created alongside a second English-language radio station.
Ms Sturgeon also said the corporation had not been institutionally biased during the independence referendum.
But she said there had been "occasions when its coverage - through oversight, apparent ignorance of the detail of an issue or as a result of simply following the agenda of openly partisan print media - lapsed from the objective output the referendum deserved into what could seem partial and, at times, pejorative."
The first minister argued that the old model of public broadcasting no longer reflected the "varied and rich political and social realities of the UK", and that the BBC Charter renewal process presented an opportunity for bold change.
The BBC is expected to publish its own proposals for Charter renewal in the next fortnight. The next Charter will form the basis for BBC operations over the next decade.
Speaking as she became the first politician to deliver the Alternative MacTaggart Lecture, Ms Sturgeon called for the BBC to adopt a federal structure, with a separate board for each home nation under a UK-wide board.
And she repeated the SNP's calls for broadcasting in Scotland to be devolved from Westminster to the Scottish Parliament, but stressed it was "vital" that the BBC continued to have editorial independence.
Ms Sturgeon said that a new and distinct BBC Scotland TV channel would be the best way of ensuring a "wider, richer" range of content was available to viewers in Scotland.
She added: "Radio Scotland currently has an almost impossible job - it's one station trying to reflect the life of an entire nation. And it does it well.
"But a second English-language radio service would provide a greater variety of programmes. And because the two channels could specialise more than Radio Scotland does, they would have stronger and more distinct identities."
Ms Sturgeon argued that the UK had changed dramatically since devolution, but broadcasters were still catching up with its consequences.
And although that posed questions for all public service broadcasters, the issue was perhaps most acute with the BBC, she said.
The first minister added: "Scotland, the BBC and all the nations and regions of the UK have the right to expect something truly radical from the charter review. A tight financial settlement cannot be a reason not to do things differently.
"A BBC that puts forward a bold proposal for Scotland, for the nations and regions, and for the UK, will have in us a strong and willing ally. A BBC that offers piecemeal solutions will fail to meet the demands or restore the trust of Scottish audiences."
Ms Sturgeon's SNP won 56 out of the 59 seats in Scotland in May's election. Its manifesto argued Scotland should receive an extra £100m in BBC funding to "more accurately reflect licence fee revenue raised in Scotland".
The BBC said it recognised a demand for greater representation and portrayal of Scottish audiences on BBC services.
A spokesman said: "Audiences across Scotland get great value from the licence fee, and are some of the highest users of BBC services.
"The licence fee funds much loved services across the UK - like BBC One and Radio Two - but also specific services like Radio Scotland and BBC Alba. Services for smaller audiences clearly cost more to provide, and that is why we spend more in the nations per head than the rest of the UK.
"We look forward to working with the Scottish government on these issues, and to consulting with licence fee payers in Scotland about how they would like to see their licence fee spent."
Ms Sturgeon's speech was heavily criticised by opposition parties.
Liz Smith, culture spokeswoman for the Scottish Conservatives said: "Instead of focusing on much-loved programmes like Strictly or Eastenders, the SNP's vision for the BBC is for millions of pounds of licence fee funds to be diverted to pay for as yet unspecified programmes which accord with the SNP's national story."
Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said: "Apart from the conspiracy theorists in the SNP, people value the broadcaster which is seen as an oracle of impartiality across the world."
Scottish Labour's democracy spokeswoman, Claire Baker, said: "If we want to be truly bold and radical then we need to look at the challenges facing the BBC in the years ahead.

Albion turned down an offer for the 22-year-old from Spurs last week, while the player has had a transfer request rejected.
Chairman Jeremy Peace said: "Our position remains unchanged. The sale of this player is not on our agenda."
Berahino was dropped at the weekend, with boss Tony Pulis saying he was not in the right frame of mind to play.
In the absence of the England Under-21 striker, who scored 20 goals last season, the Baggies were beaten 3-2 - a result which left them bottom of the Premier League table with one point from three games.
Despite Peace's insistence that Berahino is not for sale, Pulis has admitted that the club would be powerless if Tottenham made them an offer they could not refuse.
"I'm sure Tottenham wanted to keep Gareth Bale and Manchester United wanted to keep Cristiano Ronaldo so I'm not stupid enough to say 'I'm not doing this' or 'I'm not doing that'," he said last week.
Berahino, who came through the youth ranks at West Brom and has spent time on loan at Northampton, Brentford and Peterborough, has made 83 appearances and scored 29 goals for the Baggies.
This summer, Albion have signed two strikers - Rickie Lambert from Liverpool and Salomon Rondon for a club record fee of around £12m from Zenit St Petersburg.
Pulis has also said the club will "surprise people" with more signings before the transfer window closes on 1 September.

Renee Zellweger's reprisal of her romantic heroine after 12 years in Bridget Jones's Baby made $8.2m (£6.2m), according to studio estimates.
Meanwhile the Blair Witch revival came second after making $9.7m (£7.4m).
Both returns were pipped by Tom Hanks's Sully which held first place for a second week with $22m (£17m).
Directed by Clint Eastwood, Sully recreates the real-life 2009 "miracle on the Hudson" emergency landing by pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger.
He managed to land the US Airways plane in New York's Hudson River after it hit a flock of geese and all 155 people survived.
Bridget Jones's Baby, based on the characters created by British writer Helen Fielding, sees a now pregnant Bridget, in an on-off relationship with Mark Darcy. Bridget is unsure if Darcy or a new love, played by Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey, is the father.
The film had been much anticipated in the UK with enthusiasm fuelled by the popularity of its predecessors, Bridget Jones's Diary from 2001 and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason from 2004.
But the franchise's popularity has historically not been as strong in the US, with Bridget Jones's Diary making its debut at number three with $10.7m (£8.2m).
The Edge of Reason then opened first on limited release at number five, with $8.6m (£6.5m), and stayed in that position for its general release weekend with takings of $10m (£7.7m).
"We always think just because something has a recognisable brand name that it'll automatically be a hit with audiences, but that's not always the case,'' Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box office tracker comScore, told AP.
But Bridget Jones's Baby fared better overseas, where it earned $29.9m (£23m) in 39 markets, including the UK.
The return of horror film Blair Witch Project again sees a group of young adult friends head off into the woods, this time in search of Heather, who disappeared in the original 1999 movie. The group is led by Heather's brother James.
The film was expected to make about $20m (£15m) in its opening weekend, potentially taking the lead from Sully, but its relatively poor performance has been attributed by some industry commentators to not only some poor reviews, but also to the lack of familiarity with the original hit film within the contemporary young target audience.
The top five also included Snowden, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt portraying NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, which opened at number four with $8m (£6m). The debut marks the lowest in filmmaker Oliver Stone's career.
And a previous number one thriller Don't Breathe, about three teenagers who burgle a house but find that its blind owner is not as helpless as he appears, was at number five after making $5.6m (£4.3m).

Amelia Welch, 20, from Axminster in Devon, was partying in the city on Friday when she left it in the toilet.
The Plymouth University marine biology student said when she lost it the hand was "worth everything to me but nothing to anyone else".
A spokesperson from the Oceana nightclub club confirmed someone had returned it to her.
Torin and Jacques Lakeman, aged 19 and 20 and from the Isle of Man, were found in a room above The Grapes pub in Stoneclough, Bolton, last December.
The pair had booked accommodation there as part of their trip to watch Manchester United play on 29 November.
Toxicology tests revealed they had taken "five to six" times the lethal dose of the drug.
Bolton Coroner's Court heard how Torin had ordered MDMA - the active ingredient in ecstasy tablets - on a website called Agora from an anonymous vendor called Stone Island.
They accessed the site via the "dark web" - a part of the internet that cannot be found using normal search engines.
After the match at Old Trafford, the former Castle Rushen High School pupils returned to the pub where it is believed they took the drugs.
Their bodies were discovered two days later.
The court heard both brothers had a troubled history of alcohol and drug abuse, and had been hospitalised on a number of occasions on the Isle of Man.
However, their father Ray Lakeman said the pair were "best friends" who appeared to be getting their lives back on track.
Jacques was an aspiring chef and Torin was in his second year of studying physics at Aberystwyth University.
Returning a narrative verdict, coroner Alan Walsh said the pair died due to the misuse of ecstasy.
He said he would be writing to home secretary Theresa May to address the issue of buying illicit substances online.
He added: "I can't underestimate the impact these deaths have had on friends and family of Jacques and Tobin, and their deaths also highlight a greater problem - the ability of young people to obtain drugs through the dark web, and anonymous suppliers operating behind a veil."
The newspaper behind the sensational headline says it obtained a confidential, anonymous report by a group of Russian military specialists, including those working for the top secret company that produces surface-to-air missiles such as the Buk.
The Russian-made Buk has long been the "leading scenario" of international investigators trying to find out what brought down Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine in July last year, killing 298 people.
But this detailed, technical Russian report says the Buk was fired from territory held by Ukrainian forces rather than pro-Russian rebels.
Until now speculation in Russian media has been dominated by claims that MH17 was shot down by an air-to-air missile fired from a Ukrainian SU-25 fighter jet.
So the revelation that Russia, too, believes it was a Buk does appear significant.
And yet as early as 21 July 2014, Russia's ministry of defence said the Boeing 777 had fallen in an area within the range of a Ukrainian Buk-M1 missile launcher.
The same statement said a Buk battery had been detected in Zaroshchenske, a town also named in Wednesday's Novaya Gazeta report.
The military experts assert that this town was under Ukrainian military control at the time.
Ukrainian officials insist the area was already in rebel hands.
But by naming a new location, the report casts doubt on the town of Snizhne, where international investigators say a Buk missile launcher was seen being driven only four hours before the plane was shot down.
Two Russian-based, independent military experts, Pavel Felgenhauer and Vadim Lukashevich, have told the BBC the credibility of the leaked report is questionable because it is anonymous and its source has not been revealed.
Novaya Gazeta's deputy editor Sergey Sokolov told the BBC that he did not know the names of military experts who worked on the report but he was familiar with their company.
Mr Sokolov pointed out that the newspaper was given access to the report on condition of anonymity, and it considered it important to pass it on to the public.
Mr Lukashevich, an aviation analyst, believes parts of the report are questionable but sees the latest Russian version of events as more plausible than before.
"Only now they have started this clear, systematic and competent campaign; they are beginning to involve specialists," he said.
"They have finally thrown away the smokescreen of lies, gradually realising that the end is near."
Military analyst Pavel Felgenhauer said: "I believe this report is a disinformation ploy to shift the blame from the Russian military to the Ukrainian military."
Whatever the truth about the report, it is not the only new information to emerge about MH17, all apparently with the aim of helping investigators get to the facts.
Last week, pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine presented a map, purportedly found in a basement in Donetsk, that showed where Ukrainian army divisions were stationed, apparently with Buk missile launchers.
And there were more revelations to come from the rebels on Wednesday.
Leading Donetsk official Andrey Purgin alleged that flight MH17 was illegally switched from an air traffic controller in Kiev to another further east who changed the plane's course toward an area with Ukrainian Buk missile launchers.
Mr Purgin said he had passed all his information to international investigators in the Netherlands.
The Dutch Safety Board will present its findings by October 2015.

Two-time world champion Mark Williams, Wales' top ranked player, was the last home winner back in 1999.
A total of 10 Welsh players are in the field for the event that sees John Higgins defending his title.
"I'm feeling good. I have been working hard on the table and in the gym and my form is good. I am looking forward to playing," Stevens told BBC Wales.
"It's a long time since a Welshman won our Open and it is going to be difficult for us to win it this year, even with 10 entrants.
"Out of the 10, there aren't many with great experience, but they will enjoy playing in this environment.
"But someone has got to win it. It's a funny old game and hopefully it can be one of the Welsh players."
Stevens beat Ronnie O'Sullivan in the third round last year, before losing to Marco Fu.
"Beating Ronnie O'Sullivan last year showed that in best of seven frames it levels itself out," Stevens said.

"But it was the first time in a number of years I had beaten him and I hope I can replicate that form."
Duane Jones is the first Welshman in action, facing world number one Mark Selby at 10:30 GMT on Monday.
Stevens is paired with Irishman David Morris and the duo begin their campaigns at 20:00 GMT.
In an unusual move, the handset, priced at £59.99, will be available exclusively on e-commerce site eBay.
The ZTE Open runs applications written in the web-based HTML5 language rather than a unique company-owned platform.
Mozilla, the creators of the Firefox web browser, says the phone will inspire a "new wave of innovation".
A spokesman for the Chinese manufacturers ZTE said the handset was aimed at first-time smartphone users.
The phone is already on sale in Spain, Colombia and Venezuela, via telecommunications company Telefonica, and ZTE says the Open will be available "soon" on eBay in the UK and the US.
It will be not be locked to a specific mobile network operator.
The phone features a 3.5in screen and 3.2-megapixel camera and is powered by a 1GHz processor.
Jan Dawson, chief telecoms analyst at consultancy firm Ovum, said the decision to sell the phone on eBay "is an admission by ZTE that most carriers around the world are not yet ready to sell Firefox OS devices".
He added that "being different isn't enough" in a marketplace already crowded by Google, Apple and Windows.
"If you have to explain to people why Firefox provides a better user experience, then it's not particularly compelling."
A minute's silence was held before the home game in the Championship against Ipswich Town.
A special programme filled with people's memories has been sold.
The tragedy at the FA Cup sixth round was the worst loss of life at an English football ground before the 1980s.
On Wednesday, the anniversary date, a pitch-side service will take place at 15:00 GMT with a special book of remembrance dedicated listing the dead and placed on display in the Macron Stadium's reception.
Flags will be flying at half-mast all week.
On Saturday, when the team play Preston North End at home, players will wear a special third shirt emblazoned with 33 names of the dead.
Money raised from the sale of 1,000 of these replica shirts will be presented to a young person's charity.
Some estimates claim 85,000 people were at the match between Bolton Wanderers and Stoke City in a ground which should have held at least 20,000 fewer fans.
Bolton played their last game in 1997 at Burnden Park, which was demolished in 1999.
A memorial was unveiled by the late Nat Lofthouse in 2000 at the Asda store built on the site.
Non-avian dinosaurs were found to have "bird brains", larger than that of Archaeopteryx, a 150 million-year-old bird-like dinosaur.
Once regarded as a unique transition between dinosaurs and birds, scientists say Archaeopteryx has now lost its pivotal place.
The study is published in Nature.
A recent discovery in China which unveiled the earliest creature yet discovered on the evolutionary line to birds, also placed Archaeopteryx in less of a transitional evolutionary place.
Bird brains tend to be more enlarged compared to their body size than reptiles, vital for providing the vision and coordination needed for flight.
Scientists using high-resolution CT scans have now found that these "hyper-inflated" brains were present in many ancient dinosaurs, and had the neurological hardwiring needed to take to the skies.
This included several bird-like oviraptorosaurs and the troodontids Zanabazar junior, which had larger brains relative to body size than that of Archaeopteryx.
This latest work adds to previous studies which found the presence of feathers and wishbones on ancient dinosaurs.
"Archaeopteryx has always been set up as a uniquely transitional species between feathered dinosaurs and modern birds," said lead author Amy Balanoff, of the American Museum of Natural History and Stony Brook University.
By studying the brains of closely related dinosaurs, she said that Archaeopteryx "might not have been so special".
"Large forebrains are typically correlated with things like increased cognition and parental care of the young, while not flying, they were definitely doing other things with these enlarged brains.
"A lot of these characteristics that are distinctive within birds evolved much earlier in the history of Theropods . It's interesting that the brain followed this pattern as well. The large brain evolved before flight earlier than was previously thought," Dr Balanoff told BBC News.
Epidexipteryx - a very small feathered dinosaur discovered in China and first reported in 2008 (above). It had four long tail feathers but there is little evidence that it could fly.
Jeholornis - this creature lived 120 million years ago in the Cretaceous. It was a relatively large bird, about the size of a turkey. First discovered in China, and reported in 2002.
Sapeornis - lived 110 to 120 million years ago. Another small primitive bird about 33 centimetres in length. It was discovered in China and was first reported in 2002.
Xiaotingia, a chicken-sized dinosaur which dates back 155 million years to the Jurassic Period, reported in 2011.
Aurornis, which means "dawn bird" lived about 160 million years ago, about 50cm tail to beak reported in China in 2013.
By compiling CT scans, the scientists created 3D reconstructions of dinosaur skulls as well as modern bird brains. They also calculated the total volume of each digital brain and determined the size of major anatomical regions such as the olfactory bulbs, cerebrum, optic lobes and cerebellum.
"The story of brain size is more than its relationship to body size," said co-author Gabriel Bever, of the New York Institute of Technology.
"If we also consider how the different regions of the brain changed relative to each other, we can gain insight into what factors drove brain evolution as well as what developmental mechanisms facilitated those changes."
Adrian Thomas at the department of zoology at Oxford University, who was not involved with the study, said the picture now is much more complicated than "dinosaurs couldn't fly and Archaeopteryx could".
"There were a whole group of more or less distantly related feathered dinosaurs, some were gliding down from trees, some were flapping, and it all seemed to be happening at the same time.
"Rather than a straight [evolutionary] path that led Archaeopteryx to birds, the picture now is that there were lots of dinosaurs exploiting the advantages of gliding and flight. The birds are the ones that carried on successfully to the present day," Prof Thomas told BBC News.
But he added that the "processing power required for flight is relatively simple" compared to walking and running.
"So it is interesting, but not a great surprise, to see increased brain size in these dinosaurs associated with their highly agile lifestyles."
They said the increase of about 1,000 would help to generate up to £3m for the local economy.
More than 300 acts have been lined up to appear over the four-day programme on the Raehills Estate near Beattock from 8 to 11 June.
The list of headliners includes Gogol Bordello, Boney M., Cat Power, So Solid Crew, 2ManyDJs and Admiral Fallow.
Founder Adam Curtis said that although attendances were increasing he did not anticipate the event getting much bigger.
"We have got record numbers expected down in the field so it has crept from 8,000 to 9,000," he said.
"We are hoping for next year, for the 10-year anniversary, we should be at 10,000 people.
"The total number we are pushing to with the festival will probably stay under 15,000 so we are most of the way there."
The Eden Festival's value to the area's economy and visitor sector has been recognised by Dumfries and Galloway Council which this year provided the organisers with an £18,000 grant as part of its major events strategy.
Council events champion Adam Wilson said that was "pumping millions" into the region.
"For Moffat and Lockerbie and Dumfries, tourism is really important and there are a lot of people feel that actually the council isn't doing enough for the tourism industry," he said.
"I think it is a very significant strategy that we have - it is very important and it is working."
The man was found Dartmouth Apprentice site, in Dartmouth, on Saturday evening. Two men were arrested and are being held at Torquay Police Station, officers said.
The 1830s St Barnabas Church building is now a supported living project.
Devon and Cornwall Police said the man was treated by paramedics, but later died.
The building was a church until 1973.
Robert Gerrard, 53 and from Liverpool, was named on a register of alleged criminal fugitives in February 2014 and gave himself up in October 2016.
He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to import cocaine into the UK in a £60m drugs plot between May and June 2013.
Gerrard was jailed at Manchester Crown Court for 14 years.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) said Gerrard travelled to Rotterdam and met international drug traffickers with the plan of importing drugs from Latin America to Europe.
The NCA appealed for help to find him following an October 2013 raid on a cafe in the Dutch city.
Police believe Gerrard and others were using it as a front for a drugs smugglers' global operations centre.
When he handed himself in, Gerrard told officers the pressure of being on the run had "got too much" for him.
Greg McKenna, regional head of investigations for the NCA, said: "After being on the run and evading justice for so long, Robert Gerrard is finally where he belongs.
"He was fundamental to the plot to smuggle cocaine into the UK and fled in an attempt to avoid the long prison sentence he has now received.
"Gerrard featured in our Most Wanted campaigns and handed himself because he couldn't cope with the pressure of staying on the run.
"Other fugitives should learn from his example - we won't stop hunting you, and we won't stop making your life on the run as uncomfortable as possible."
The NCA said Michael Moogan, aged 31 and from Liverpool, is still wanted in connection with conspiracy to import cocaine into the UK.
Alex Hales (31) and Gary Ballance (57) came into the England side but both got out playing loose shots when well set.
Joe Root then hit 85 from 89 balls but fell in the penultimate over as England finished on 250-8 from their 50 overs.
Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul-Haq (91 not out) and Umar Akmal (65) kept them in contention, and Shahid Afridi saw them home with seven balls to spare.
England must now decide on their XI to face Australia in Melbourne when the tournament begins on Saturday - with the biggest decisions resting over who joins pacemen James Anderson and Stuart Broad in the bowling attack.
Rarely tested in Monday's comfortable win over a lacklustre West Indies side, England rang the changes at the Sydney Cricket Ground to give their remaining squad members a run-out.
Hales and Ballance, who did not feature in the recent tri-series against Australia and India, were given a final chance to press their credentials as Ian Bell and James Taylor sat out, while Anderson and Broad - rested against the Windies - returned in place of Chris Woakes and Steven Finn.
Opener Moeen Ali failed to build on his 46 against West Indies, getting a leading edge to cover for four.
Though Hales and Ballance added 64, both players fell tamely to leg-spin as Hales gave Sohaib Maqsood a simple catch at mid-wicket off Afridi, while Ballance picked out the same fielder on the leg-side fence when trying to attack Yasir Shah (3-45).
Captain Eoin Morgan swiftly followed, edging to slip when trying to lap-sweep his third ball.
Root eventually found a durable partner in Chris Jordan (31 not out) as England reached the 250 mark off the last ball of their innings.
After Broad and Anderson removed Pakistan's openers, Jordan and James Tredwell - battling for those bowling places - took a wicket apiece, inducing false shots from Younus Khan and Haris Sohail as Ballance threw himself around in the deep to take the catch on both occasions.
It left Pakistan's hopes resting with the vastly experienced Misbah, who added 133 with Akmal to keep his side in contention, and by the time Akmal edged Broad to keeper Buttler, Pakistan still needed 40 from 33 balls.
When Maqsood (20) fell with eight needed from 14, the stage was set for the big-hitting Afridi, roared on by a noisy Pakistan fan contingent inside the SCG.
The veteran all-rounder did not disappoint, blasting Broad for successive fours in the penultimate over.

Elizabeth and Ann grew up in different countries after their mum gave Ann up for adoption and moved to America.
Ann didn't even know she had a sister until recently.
Now after all this time the two have finally met.
Check out the moment the sisters saw each other for the first time.
Bob McColm, 59, will take over on 23 March from Alison Gomme, who announced her retirement last October.
Mr McColm, who has 30 years' experience in the UK's prison service, will lead an island staff of about 140.
He said: "I will place a strong focus on meeting the rehabilitation needs of prisoners to keep them out of custody."
He added: "I'm aware of the work taking place to reform the island's criminal justice system and the important contribution to be made by the prison and probation service."
Mr McColm has served as governor at HM Young Offenders Institute Lancaster Farms, HMP Garth, HMYOI Thorn Cross, HMP Kirkham and HMP Altcourse.
The Manx government said he also led the transformation of HMP Risley from a failing prison into one with significant performance improvements.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) affects two-thirds of babies in their first year and is a major cause of hospital admission in the UK.
Early trials of the jab, which uses a harmless virus instead, have shown promising results in adults.
Experts said that although still years off, an RSV vaccine was much needed.
RSV is especially dangerous in those born prematurely or with other respiratory problems.
It also causes severe illness in otherwise healthy infants and is responsible for one in six admissions of children to hospital in winter months.
In the developing world it is second to malaria as a killer of children under one.
A vaccine has long been sought, but success has been hampered by trials in the 1960s when immunised children went on to have extreme reactions when faced with the infection.
It took researchers a long time to work out what went wrong and other vaccine prototypes over the years have failed to produce sufficient immunity.
The latest vaccine, developed and initially tested by biotechnology firm Reithera, uses genetic engineering to trick the immune system into thinking that it is dealing with RSV.
This "viral vector" technology is the same as that used in the new Ebola vaccines.
It contains a harmless virus that cannot cause illness, and which has been modified to produce some RSV proteins on its surface, the journal Science Translational Medicine reports.
Researchers from the Oxford Vaccine Group tested two candidates - one using a chimpanzee cold virus never before used in humans and the other a harmless pox virus - in 42 adult volunteers.
In tests with a nasal spray and injection, the vaccines were found to be safe and produced an immune response.
It is the first stage in many years of trials.
The team is about to embark on tests of another vaccine using the same technology that is being specifically designed for use in children.
Other types of RSV vaccine are in development and US researchers recently announced positive results in older adults.
Study leader Dr Christopher Green, a clinical research fellow at Oxford University said what was particularly exciting about the viral vector technology used in their trials was that similar vaccines, including ones for malaria, had already been successfully used in infants.
"This is encouraging data," he said. "The results of this trial are a positive signal that prevention of RSV is achievable."
Dr Charlie Weller, senior portfolio developer at the Wellcome Trust, said the results were "extremely promising".
"The next steps will be key in order to determine whether the immune responses induced by this vaccine are sufficient to protect against RSV, particularly in the very young and very old, who are at a higher risk of infection."
Dr David Elliman, immunisation expert for the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said: "This [RSV] has always been considered an important infection and one you would want a vaccine against."
The circles, which may have been used for festivals or rituals, at West Kennet near Avebury are now believed to have been built in 3300BC.
New radiocarbon dating tests have been carried out by Historic England.
Professor Alex Bayliss said finding "palisades of this time is completely unprecedented in British archaeology".
The structures stretched over 4km (2.5 miles) and were built with more than 4,000 trees.
Professor Bayliss said: "We've discovered a completely new type of monumental structure at a time when we didn't think any existed in Britain.
"There are palisades later and earlier but these are different."
She said the tests were carried out using charcoal samples excavated by Professor Alisdair Whittle, from Cardiff University, 30 years ago.
When the palisades were found in the original excavation in 1987 and the early 1990s, it was believed they were built in about 2500BC.
But Professor Bayliss said developments in radiocarbon dating techniques now enabled them to be more accurate.
She said the palisades were "probably used very briefly" and were "definitely burnt down deliberately".
She said speculation about their purpose included a festival or that one enclosure could have been for women and the other for men for rituals.
Professor Whittle added it was a "wonderful set of results".
"It's significant because it places the construction earlier and it's a period about which we don't know a lot," he said.
"It also shows us a lot of later activity of either people gathering seasonally or even permanently in what seems to be quite large numbers.
"It deepens our understanding of people coming to that area at a time when Avebury and Silbury Hill were being constructed."
Desire has announced that despite drilling to a depth of 1,300m at its Jacinta well in the North Falkland basin, there were no hydrocarbons.
The company's shares fell 29% on the news, despite Desire saying that it would now drill to 1,670m.
On 6 December, Desire's shares tumbled 50% after another well was capped.
Desire's shares, which reached 170p in October, closed down 29.4% at 42.5p.
When exploration off the Falklands began earlier this year, the share prices of several companies rose in expectation of an oil and gas boom.
But analysts say drilling results have so far proved disappointing.
And in November there were reports that ExxonMobil, the world's largest oil company not owned by a government, had decided that the islands contained insufficient hydrocarbons to make exploration profitable.
Rev Faith Green Timmons cut short Mr Trump as he attacked his Democratic rival's support for global trade deals.
"Mr Trump, I invited you here to thank us for what we've done in Flint, not give a political speech," said the Bethel United Methodist Church pastor.
"Oh, oh, OK, that's good," the Republican nominee responded, shuffling papers on his podium.
He went on to make a few remarks about fixing Flint's drinking water problems, but some in the crowd began to heckle.
One woman shouted out that the real estate magnate had used discriminatory housing practices in his buildings.
The businessman responded: "Never, you're wrong. Never would."
The pastor interrupted again, this time to reproach Mr Trump's hecklers, saying: "He is a guest in my church and you will respect him".
Mr Trump abruptly ended his speech, which had lasted six minutes.
The road will save the need for a 24-mile detour when three bridges near Royal Wootton Bassett are closed for rail electrification upgrades.
Network Rail spokesman Julian Burnell said it would be "cheaper to close a few roads" but they wanted to minimise disruption to motorists.
The work on the bridges will start in March and last until 2017.
The project involves reconstructing two bridges on Marlborough Road and Broad Town Road and work on the A3102 Bath Road.
The track will also be lowered under the listed Hunts Mill bridge to create the additional space needed for the overhead electrification.
Work on the Marlborough Road/Broad Town bridge will take place between March 2016 and September 2016.
The work on the A3102 Bath Road bridge is due to take place between October 2016 and March 2017.
In a BBC interview, Aisha Buhari suggested his government had been hijacked by only a "few people", who were behind presidential appointments.
She said the president did not know most of the officials he had appointed.
Mr Buhari, who is on a visit to Germany, has responded by saying his wife belonged in his kitchen.
Standing alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel at a news conference, the president laughed off his wife's accusations.
"I don't know which party my wife belongs to, but she belongs to my kitchen and my living room and the other room," he said.
The remarks earned him a glare from Chancellor Merkel.
Mr Buhari said that having run for president three times and having succeeded the fourth, he could "claim superior knowledge over her".
Mr Buhari was elected last year with a promise to tackle corruption and nepotism in government.
But in the interview with Naziru Mikailu from BBC Hausa, Mrs Buhari said: "The president does not know 45 out of 50 of the people he appointed and I don't know them either, despite being his wife of 27 years."
She said people who did not share the vision of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) were now appointed to top posts because of the influence a "few people" wield.
"Some people are sitting down in their homes folding their arms only for them to be called to come and head an agency or a ministerial position," she said.
His wife's decision to go public with her concerns will shock many people, but it shows the level of discontent with the president's leadership, says the BBC's Naziru Mikailu in the capital, Abuja.
Aisha Buhari campaigned vigorously for her husband in last year's election in Nigeria, organising town hall meetings with women's groups and youth organisations across the country.
However, she kept a low profile at the start of the administration and was barely seen or heard. She was restricted to her work on the empowerment of women and helping victims of the Boko Haram conflict in the north-east of the country where she is from. This is one of the reasons why this damning interview has caught the attention of many Nigerians.
It is a significant blow for Mr Buhari, who has a reputation for being a tough, no-nonsense president.
Her comments also bolster accusations that his government has been hijacked by a small group of individuals.
Critics say a large number of people have been appointed because of their relationship with those people in one way or the other.
Mrs Buhari was prompted to to speak out in an effort to end those practices so that party loyalists who contributed to his election victory could benefit.
Her critics say she is speaking out only because she failed to convince the president to appoint her own people.
However, as the closest person to the president, she must have exhausted all avenues before criticising him in the media.
The comments could also mark a turning point for a government that has clearly struggled to deal with economic recession and is facing growing disquiet within the ruling party.
The Nigerian economy, battered by low global oil prices and a currency devaluation, officially entered recession in August for the first time in a decade.
Oil sales account for 70% of government income.
The president famously remarked at his inauguration that he "belongs to nobody and belongs to everybody".
Asked to name those who had hijacked the government, she refused, saying: "You will know them if you watch television."
On whether the president was in charge, she said: "That is left for the people to decide."
Mrs Buhari, who at 45, is 23 years her husband's junior, said he had not told her whether he would contest the 2019 election.
"He is yet to tell me but I have decided as his wife, that if things continue like this up to 2019, I will not go out and campaign again and ask any woman to vote like I did before. I will never do it again."
Nigerians have been weighing in on Twitter to give their judgement on the first lady's frank interview:
Asked what she regarded as the government's major achievement, she said it was to improve security in the north-east where militant Islamist group Boko Haram has waged an insurgency since 2009.
"No-one is complaining about being attacked in their own homes. Thankfully everyone can walk around freely, go to places of worship, etc. Even kids in Maiduguri have returned to schools," Mrs Buhari said, referring to the city which was once the headquarters of the militant group.
Cooke hit 94 runs off just 54 balls as Glamorgan passed their target of 318 with two balls to spare on Tuesday.
It was the county's highest run-chase to win a limited overs game in Cardiff.
"Chris Cooke was amazing, he's done it for us so many times over the last two years so all the accolades should go his way," Rudolph told BBC Wales Sport.
Cooke's innings came at the end of a run-filled day as Kent's Darren Stevens scored 110 off only 64 balls to help set Glamorgan a daunting 50-over target.
Colin Ingram's first Glamorgan century kept the home side in the match in reply, but they still needed 103 off the last eight overs.
A heavy shower then made life more difficult for the Kent bowlers, while Cooke also survived being caught off what subsequently proved to be a no-ball following a review.
"Personally it's a great feeling to contribute to a win like that for Glamorgan, chasing over 300 is a great team effort and we all played our part," Cooke told BBC Wales Sport.
"It was a hell of an effort from Colin Ingram up top to lay the platform for the big sloggers to come in at the end.
"The rain break actually helped us. David Lloyd came in and played a brilliant cameo and that got the ball moving, after that I thought it was on."
Glamorgan, whose first game in Group B was a washout against Nottinghamshire, now have one point after overcoming their two-point deduction for a poor pitch last season.
Over the next six days, they have two more games in Cardiff against Essex on Friday before hosting Hampshire on Sunday, travelling to Birmingham on Monday and then a home game against Sussex on Wednesday.
"For this first week we want to give it our best shot and see where we are on Sunday, but I think that sort of win will give us quite a lot of momentum on Friday," said Rudolph.
Cooke added: "The schedule's a bit crazy but it has been for the last couple of seasons and it's the same for everyone so we just need to get on with it."
Glamorgan hope to have Graham Wagg available for the Essex match after the all-rounder missed the first two games due to concussion.
The James Stevens No 10 lifeboat, which served in St Ives, Cornwall, is said to be one of only two remaining boats of its kind.
The 35ft (10.6m) vessel was restored in 2002 and had been in use for pleasure trips around St Ives.
But it was seen submerged in Hayle Estuary on Wednesday morning.
Alex Pym was out walking his dog when he saw the boat at about 09:00 BST.
He said the lifeboat had previously been used for trips in St Ives harbour but had been moored in the estuary for at least a year.
It is not known who owns it.
The vessel was one of 20 bought by the RNLI in the late 1890s paid for with a legacy from James Stevens, a property developer from Birmingham.
The only other remaining James Stevens boat is the No 14, which is in regular use and maintained by the Frinton and Walton Heritage Trust in Essex. | John Hobson is listening to a recording of conversations with his late mother, mostly small talk about family.

Rarely have relations between the US and one of its key Nato allies been so poor as those between Washington and Ankara.
"Damage limitation" may be an understatement to describe one of the main aims behind the visit the of the Turkish President, Recep Tayip Erdogan to the US this week.
It has become increasingly clear what both these presidents think of each other.
In his recent study of Barack Obama's foreign policy - the product of multiple interviews with the president - Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic summed up Mr Obama's view of his Turkish counterpart in terms of disappointed expectations.
Goldberg notes that "early on", Obama saw Erdogan "as the sort of moderate Muslim leader who would bridge the divide between East and West - but Obama now considers him a failure and an authoritarian, one who refuses to use his enormous army to bring stability to Syria."
Whatever Mr Obama may think about his Turkish counterpart in private, Mr Erdogan has been much more outspoken in public.
Just one example - earlier this month he condemned the Obama Administration's support for Kurdish fighters in Syria, insisting that Washington's inability to grasp their true nature had turned the region into "a sea of blood".
The differences between Washington and Ankara are various, not least reflecting US disappointment at the current drift in Turkish domestic affairs.
But it is the Syrian crisis, and in particular the role of Kurdish militias in the fight against so-called Islamic State (IS) that has crystallised US-Turkish tensions.
US and Turkish disagreements over Syria reflect fundamental differences on both strategy and goals.
From the outset Turkey backed rebel groups in Syria opposed to the Assad regime.
Indeed his removal became a strategic necessity for the Turkish government; the only way they believed stability could be restored.
Turkey has been directly hit by the crisis - not just by the spill-over of terrorism across its own borders. It has also been forced to contend with a huge wave of Syrian refugees.
That is one of the reasons why the Turks have backed the idea of establishing "safe zones" inside Syria; areas that could be protected by US and allied air power as well as forces on the ground.
That idea has been consistently opposed by the Obama administration.
The US was no friend of President Assad but its focus was elsewhere - the struggle against IS in both Syria and Iraq.
Given the absence of any clear alternative governing arrangements in Syria, Iraq appeared to be Washington's priority, while it helped arm rebel groups in Syria its efforts initially had little impact.
Turkey, with its long land border with both Syria and Iraq was clearly of huge strategic importance in Washington's anti-IS campaign.
The US pressed to use Turkish air bases though for a long period the Turks were reluctant.
When they did finally approve their use it appeared to represent to many observers something of a quid pro quo for the US turning a blind eye to Turkish strikes against the Kurds.
For it is Kurdish dynamics, rather more than IS, that has dominated thinking in Ankara. Kurdish fighters have been among the most successful ground forces battling IS.
Who are the Kurds?
In the process they have received considerable material support from Washington.
This has been like a red-rag to a bull for the Turks who, already battling a Kurdish insurgency within Turkey, fear any Kurdish successes that might encourage Kurdish national aspirations.
So Ankara and Washington are allies, but at the same time pretty much at loggerheads over Syria.
Russia's military intervention on the side of President Assad only added a new complication.
Turkey's shooting down of a Russian jet that briefly intruded into its air space prompted an ambivalent reaction from its NATO allies. In public there was strong support for Turkey.
But in private many of them were alarmed at what they saw as a strand of recklessness in Ankara's behaviour.
US fighters were briefly deployed to patrol Turkish air space but were almost as quickly withdrawn.
US-Turkish strategic differences over Syria are one thing. But both governments need to find sufficient common ground to move forward with the campaign.
The growing IS terrorist threat to Turkey may encourage some flexibility in Ankara.
Turkey would dearly love to roll back Kurdish gains in Syria but it wants other things too.
Turkey's position is not necessarily as strong as it appears. It now has few friends or allies in the region.
Gone are the days when Mr Davotoglu, as the then foreign minister, proposed a new Turkish foreign policy of "zero problems" with all its neighbours.
Now it has problems on all its frontiers. Ankara's "new Ottomanism" , its bid to secure a role as a major player in the Middle East, may have run its course.
The Syria crisis has exacerbated Turkish fears of Kurdish autonomy; it has renewed its campaign against Kurdish militants inside Turkey; it is now under threat from IS terrorism; it faces chaos across its borders with both Iraq and Syria.
Turkey also has an uneasy relationship with Washington; terrible relations with Moscow; and it has fallen out with other key regional players like Israel with whom it once was close.
Turkey badly needs a reset in its foreign policy. Washington could help with that.
But on Syria their differences remain so fundamental, it is hard to see how any compromise can be achieved. | It's a diplomatic relationship that is deeply in crisis, but one that remains of crucial importance to both countries. | 35,882,201 | 1,191 | 25 | false |
Rovers fans showed their opposition to Indian owners Venky's by not taking their seats until the 18th minute and then walking out in the 75th minute.
Sam Gallagher's superb early volley put Blackburn ahead at the break.
Dave Edwards headed in Matt Doherty's cross to level but Wolves, who sacked Walter Zenga on Tuesday, are now without a win in their last six games.
Blackburn fans held a protest outside the ground before kick-off, while the timing of their late entry and early departure reflected the date of the club's founding in 1875.
Several banners criticising the club's owners were visible in the sparsely-populated stands at Ewood Park throughout the match.
After falling behind the visitors, with caretaker boss Rob Edwards in the dugout amid reports Nigel Pearson has been interviewed to replace Zenga, looked bright and could have levelled through Edwards or Conor Coady before the break.
Substitute goalkeeper Andy Lonergan denied Rovers striker Gallagher a second goal just after the hour mark and the hosts may have complaints about the equaliser, with Doherty narrowly offside when he picked up the ball after Blackburn keeper Jason Steele palmed away Joao Teixeira's shot.
Victory would have lifted Rovers out of the relegation zone, but they are now 23rd, while Wolves are three points above the bottom three in 17th.

The ex-London mayor faces a fresh inquiry for denouncing a party decision to extend his suspension for a year.
Mr Jones said he called for expulsion last year when Mr Livingstone first made "these deeply offensive remarks".
"There is no place for these views in the Labour Party and no place for anyone who espouses them," he said.
"We have a zero tolerance position on racism so there can be no debate as to what action the party must take.
"These repeated comments are totally and utterly unacceptable and Ken Livingstone must be expelled from the Labour Party."
Mr Livingstone has been suspended since April 2016 when he claimed Hitler had supported Zionism in the 1930s.
On Tuesday a Labour party disciplinary panel upheld three charges of breaching party rules and extended the suspension for another year.
Some Labour MPs and Jewish groups have criticised the decision not to expel Mr Livingstone, but he said he had been "suspended for stating the truth".
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said Mr Livingstone would face a fresh investigation, saying it was "deeply disappointing that, despite his long record of standing up to racism, Ken has failed to acknowledge or apologise for the hurt he has caused".

The Australian Open semi-finalist had fought back from a disappointing first set to take the match to a decider.
But in front of a Centre Court crowd earlier treated to a masterclass from British men's number one Andy Murray, she was quickly broken twice more.
It marked a sweet Wimbledon return for Canadian Bouchard, beaten by qualifier Duan Yingying in the 2015 first round.
"I went in with no real expectations of an outcome," said Konta. "I definitely expected her to play well.
"Although her ranking may have gone down over the past year, her level of tennis never went away. She is an incredibly good player with a lot of experience, in the short career she's had.
"I've got a lot of good things to take away from that match and a lot of things I hope to implement in my development as a tennis player and as a person."
Konta, 25, had broken Bouchard early in the first set for a 2-1 lead, only to then ship the next four games as her opponent's greater accuracy from the baseline began to tell.
With that accuracy and power came the first set, and Konta's hopes looked to be disappearing in the fresh evening air.
But she broke again in Bouchard's opening service game of the second set, and under intense pressure this time held her own in the next game.
The 22-year-old then raced into a 0-40 lead on Konta's next service only for the Briton to once again fight back, saving a series of break points.
And Konta kept the momentum going with a break to love in the sixth game before holding serve to level the match up.
Still the service pressure came. Konta once again slipped to 0-40 on her own serve early in the third and this time saw it taken as Bouchard ended a magnificent rally with a stretching forehand volley.
Bouchard had climbed as high as five in the world before a precipitous decline over the past 18 months, and that raw talent bloomed again as she took further control with a second break for 4-0 in the decider.
Konta, so vastly improved in the past 12 months, was unable to work a break point as the contest slipped away from her, and in this form Bouchard will pose a serious threat in her half of the draw.
Sam Smith, former British number one and BBC Sport commentator
"Konta played pretty well but Bouchard was looking like a top-10 player out there.
"Konta's forehand looked more vulnerable than I've seen for a while, and it was a shame because she had great momentum coming out of the second set.
"It was important to get an early break in the third, hold and then she would have been driving it. There was not an awful lot in it.
"Bouchard, even though she is three years younger, is more experienced in these big stadium situations and that counted for a lot.
"Bouchard looked even better than 2014. If she can maintain that and gets through in a tough draw against Dominika Cibulkova then she is a contender.
"But Konta has won her first match at Wimbledon in four attempts, that's a big step, had a great Eastbourne and is a top-20 player in the world. She wasn't quite good enough today and I think you can accept that."
"A sunny place for shady people," the British writer Somerset Maugham famously dubbed the place, and nearly a century on the description still fits. The critic AA Gill was even ruder than that.
It's not hard to see where both were coming from. But while the ostentatious wealth, and where some of it came from, might make some queasy, Monaco is also compelling. And, in truth, it is easy to be seduced by the place.
Yes, it's expensive and precious. Yes, the ever-increasing number of skyscrapers has dulled the Beaux Arts charm that seduced in the Roaring Twenties.
But the setting remains unsurpassed - a drive along the Corniche to a glittering harbour surrounded by high cliffs, a castle on the hill and, when the sun shines, big, beautiful Mediterranean skies.
And the F1 track? Wow.
Pirelli's high-degradation tyres have rendered the race a bit of a joke these last few years. By and large, the leading drivers toddle around seconds off the pace trying to make the softer tyre get to the optimum time to do their one stop.
But with barriers waiting to punish even the smallest mistake, no race around Monaco can be taken lightly - as Max Verstappen's high-speed crash last year demonstrated.
And as a place to get a sense of the incredible capabilities of grand prix cars and their drivers, there is nothing like it.
Every corner name resonates down the ages, and the challenge of a flying lap remains as intense and extreme as ever.
Sainte Devote, Massenet, Casino Square, Mirabeau, the Tunnel, Tabac, Swimming Pool. To stand trackside and watch a grand prix driver do his work, thread the needle, tame 900bhp+ on streets you can walk down later that day, is to witness one of the most truly thrilling and awe-inspiring sights on earth.

Israelis are outraged by two attacks by Palestinians - a drive-by shooting on a road between two Jewish settlements near the Palestinian city of Nablus and a stabbing in the crowded streets of the Old City of Jerusalem.
The heightened tensions can be traced a few weeks ago to the start of the Jewish High Holiday, when an increase in incidents involving rocks thrown at Israeli cars on the West Bank began to be reported.
Palestinians are incensed not just at the severity of the security crackdown which has followed - including the death of demonstrators, reportedly during clashes - but at the increase in Jewish religious activity in the Old City which comes with the festival of Sukkot - a traditional time of pilgrimage to Jerusalem for Jews.
That pilgrimage to the Western Wall, a holy place of prayer in Judaism, brings the visitors into close proximity with the al-Aqsa mosque, which is sacred to Muslims.
In both Palestinian society and in the wider Arab world, the increased religious activity is viewed as a kind of attack on the Islamic identity of the place where Muslims believe that the Prophet Muhammad ascended body and soul into heaven.
Jews revere the compound which contains the mosque as their holiest place and those competing religious convictions have proven repeatedly over many decades they have the power to trigger sudden and deadly upsurges in violence.
Israel has been in control of the Old City of Jerusalem since it captured it from Jordan in the war of 1967, but it handed control of the compound almost immediately to an Islamic agency - the Waqf - in what was an explicit recognition of the incendiary potential of the issue.
Since then a status quo has prevailed under which Jews are allowed to visit the site but not to pray there.
There are two problems with that.
First there is a minority within Judaism that wants to challenge that arrangement and assert a Jewish right of prayer at the site; second, many people in the Arab world simply do not believe repeated Israeli assurances that there are no plans to change that status quo.
So the anger felt on both sides is easy to explain. But the pervasive sense of anxiety is more complex.
One Israeli newspaper, Yediot Ahronot, reflecting on the attacks, declared baldly that a third Palestinian intifada (uprising) is under way.
Others are slightly more cautious - a columnist in Haaretz asks the same question but concludes that it is too early to say.
It is clear though that a new style of attack is emerging to which Israel is struggling to formulate a convincing response.
The stabbings in the Old City at the weekend are a good example.
The 19-year-old attacker Mohannad Halabi may or may not have been a member of a militant organisation, but he equipped himself to kill simply by taking a knife from his home.
Other attacks have consisted simply of Palestinian drivers aiming their cars at pedestrians they assume to be Israeli Jews.
Israel has powerful military forces in the West Bank, sophisticated surveillance techniques at its disposal and an extensive network of informers.
But none of those things can guard against an individual making a personal decision to stage an attack at a time of his own choosing and carrying out with whatever tools come to hand in his ordinary daily life.
Extremist groups make themselves vulnerable when they store and transport firearms or pass communications between members, however attacks which involve none of those weak points are difficult for security forces to disrupt.
On the Palestinian side there is a persistent sense of resentment at continuing Israeli occupation which is intensified not just by the circumstances around the al-Aqsa compound but also by the widespread sense that the whole issue of the two-state solution has been allowed to drift off the international agenda.
It is hard to remember a time when so little diplomatic effort was put into the search for a solution to the long-running issue between Israel and the Palestinians.
In part of course it has simply been overshadowed by events in Syria and by nuclear diplomacy with Iran, which tended to suck the oxygen out of other political issues in the region.
But the truth is that what used to be called "The Peace Process" simply feels moribund.
Few believe that the Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will ever make the kind of compromises necessary to reach a deal.
The Palestinian Authority still operates a security co-operation agreement with Israel, but that arrangement could be vulnerable if the political atmosphere continues to deteriorate.
Repudiating the arrangement, as he has threatened to, would be a big step for Mr Abbas, but he cannot afford to appear to be too far out of step with his own people on the issue.
It would be hard for him to explain why his security officials are working so closely with the same Israeli forces that Palestinian demonstrators are confronting on the streets in the West Bank.
The truth is that no-one can really predict what will happen next.
The sudden uptick of violence over the course of the last few days may subside equally suddenly or it may trigger a further escalation.
The real reason for that sense of anxiety on both sides perhaps is the sense that, as so often in the Middle East, politicians and security officials do not appear to be in control of events but are rather at their mercy.

Artist Luke Jerram was commissioned by 20-21 Arts Centre in Scunthorpe to produce the work called Treasured City.
Five small objects from North Lincolnshire Museum were selected for wax replicas which will be cast in £1,000 worth of 18-carat gold.
From February the gold replicas will be hidden for the public to find and keep.
More on this and other East Yorkshire stories
Clues for the treasure hunt will be disguised in five paintings which will be on display at the Arts Centre.
Dominic Mason, 20-21's exhibition officer, said the clues would vary in difficulty, but one would be so hard to crack that the gold may not be found.
"As a legacy for the project ,this painting will remain on display in the North Lincolnshire Museum with the associated golden artefact remaining hidden for the public to find one day," he said.
Bristol-based artist Luke Jerram said: "I like the idea that ancient objects that were once hidden beneath the earth and were discovered and displayed at the museum are now being re-hidden."
The exhibition, funded by the Lottery and Arts Council England, will run from 18 February until 29 April.
The Grande Braderie de Lille attracted 2.5 million visitors last year and had been due to be held on 3-4 September.
Lille's mayor, Martine Aubry, said cancelling the event had been a "painful decision" but there were "risks we cannot reduce".
It is among several events dropped since the lorry attack in Nice in July.
More than 80 people were killed in the resort city when the Tunisian driver ploughed his vehicle into celebrating crowds on Bastille Day, in an assault claimed by so-called Islamic State.
Most of the victims died at the time of the attack, but the authorities in Nice said a man had died on Thursday from his injuries, taking the total of those killed to 85.
Twelve days after the Nice killings, on 26 July, two French jihadists of Algerian origin killed a priest in his church in a suburb of Rouen.
Michel Lalande, the top government official in the Lille region, said the flea market would have presented a security risk because of its "hyper-urban format with its streets full of people".
He added: "There comes a time, despite our passions and our convictions, when we have to say stop."

Athlete David Hemery, who won gold in the 1968 Olympic Games in the 400m hurdles, will be running his first marathon for 39 years at the age of 70.
But some runners have also given themselves additional challenges to just running the course.
For Rob Young it will be his 367th marathon in a year having decided to run at least one marathon a day after watching last year's event.

And not just those numbers, but much of the case that he'd been building in the year before feels, well, misplaced, now - that we were on our way "out of the red and back into the black", he had "fixed the roof" while the sun was shining, whichever Osborne metaphor you want to choose.
As my colleague Kamal Ahmed's written here, the backdrop is different. So first, George Osborne is going to have to fess up - the pages and pages of numbers the independent Office for Budget Responsibility provided as the basis of his sums won't add up anymore.
We know too - as he told me a few weeks ago - that means extra government cuts are likely, probably an additional £4bn billion a year by 2020.
So more cuts are on the way, on top of six years of spending reductions that have hit some families extremely hard.
But the government's announcement today on academy schools, and the fact the chancellor, not the education secretary, is making it, suggests something else too.
Numbers 10 and 11 are determined to make us believe they are interested in much more than just sorting out the books - they're not just cutters, but reformers too.
Even though those plans will cause strong complaint, they are part of George Osborne and David Cameron's plans to achieve more than just close the gap between what the government spends and takes from all of us in taxes - although they know that's proving hard enough.
And while the numbers are certainly worse than Number 11 had hoped, and the catchily-titled "downward revisions" will grab many of the headlines, George Osborne's political brain may tell him that economic changes have not knocked the (notoriously unreliable) predictions so far off course that it is worth any enormous deviation from his overall strategy.
So the chancellor, albeit in rather more sombre tones, is likely to echo his previous audacious claims that a Conservative government that is making significant cuts to state spending is composed of "the mainstream representatives of the working people".
He has been doing the job for six years now, and knows the dangers of a Budget that goes wrong, and one that goes with a bang. But with the Conservatives' ambitions, and his own, in mind, he is unlikely to miss the opportunity to make that case again.
Despite the shadow chancellor's new credo that aligns his hypothetical plans for tax and spend closely to those of Labour's recent past, even before George Osborne is on his feet John McDonnell is demanding that he stop the cuts.
One of the quirks of Budget day is that it will be for Jeremy Corbyn, not Mr McDonnell, to make that case, responding to Mr Osborne.
That is a tall order for any opposition leader. For Jeremy Corbyn, who enjoys huge support from the party's membership but not much from those sitting on the benches behind him, it is a huge ask.
But the opposition that really troubles Mr Osborne right now is those on his own benches. He'll be more interested in how they, and the public, respond - and if he's not the "lucky chancellor" any more, what they'll be calling him by the end of today.
Updated figures from exams regulator Ofqual show 66 out of 156 of the new courses have been officially approved.
Labour's shadow education secretary Lucy Powell called the figures "alarming".
But education secretary Nicky Morgan insisted Ofqual was making progress, with draft content already available.
Under major exam reforms, new, toughened-up GCSEs and A-levels are gradually being introduced, with the second wave of courses due to be brought in for first teaching this September.
This includes key academic subjects such as the three sciences, history and geography, all part of the government's English Baccalaureate measure.
Suzanne O'Farrell, curriculum and assessment specialist with the Association of School and College Leaders, said subject content was available online but teachers also needed full specification details from each exam board, including marking schemes and sample exam papers.
"I do think this is a problem," said Ms O'Farrell.
"It is taking far longer than expected.
"As a head of department you want to make your choice of board from an informed position."
Schools also needed to make a curriculum plan, buy and read textbooks as well as setting up training for teachers in each subject, she added.
According to the Ofqual website some subjects are completely ready - for example art and design, computer science and music GCSEs.
However, no specifications are ready for chemistry, combined science, physics or biology GCSEs.
The position at AS- and A-level is equally patchy, with most modern languages and religious studies specifications still awaiting sign-off and only one board having been signed off for geography AS- and A-level.
The Association of Teachers and Lecturers called on the government "to get its act together and sort out the delay".
General secretary Mary Bousted said: "It's the second week of March and teachers are still waiting to find out what they are being expected to teach children in September.
"How are teachers supposed to prepare for teaching these new qualifications in September when they haven't had the opportunity to plan their curricula and develop materials based on the new specifications?
"And how will young people be able to decide which GCSEs or A-levels they want to study when they won't know until late this academic year what the content and assessment will be for the courses starting in September?
"This delay is particularly worrying because none of the science GCSEs have been accredited and several of the GCSE EBacc subjects have not been accredited."
Lucy Powell called the changes the biggest reforms in a generation and said they were "causing a huge amount of flux and change".
"We've been warning ministers for some time now that they are way behind in their timetable to deliver such a change."
Responding to a question from Ms Powell on the issue in the Commons today, Mrs Morgan said: "Ofqual are working with the exam boards to make sure that all of the specifications are ready...
"They are working their way through, as I say, to make sure that the exam boards and the specifications are ready to be published.
"We absolutely want to give teachers as much notice as possible."
Schools minister Nick Gibb later said the new exams represented "a new gold standard and it is right that the highest standards are applied to developing and accrediting these new qualifications....
"We have made clear to exam boards that they must produce high quality specifications as quickly as possible and will continue to work with Ofqual to ensure this happens."
An Ofqual spokesman said the website was being updated regularly.
Navi Pillay said the files suggested US forces had continued to hand detainees to Iraqi authorities despite evidence that they had been tortured.
Meanwhile, the UN's adviser on torture, Manfred Novak, called for a wider inquiry to include alleged US abuses.
The US military has denied turning a blind eye to torture in Iraq.
On Monday, Gen George Casey, who was in charge of US forces in Iraq from 2004 to 2007, said all soldiers were instructed to report any allegations of abuse.
But Ms Pillay said the Wikileaks disclosure of almost 400,000 secret war logs added to her concerns that serious breaches of international human rights law had occurred in Iraq.
"The US and Iraqi authorities should take necessary measures to investigate all allegations made in these reports and to bring to justice those responsible for unlawful killings, summary executions, torture and other serious human rights abuses," she said in a statement.
Mr Novak said it was not enough to investigate only what happened in Iraq.
He urged US President Barack Obama to launch a full investigation into all allegations of torture against US military and intelligence officials.
He said the inquiry should include accounts of US agents handing detainees to states such as Egypt, Morocco and Syria, knowing they would be ill treated.
Mr Novak told journalists he now received far fewer allegations of torture than he had done during the so-called war on terror launched by former US President George W Bush.
But he pointed out that Mr Obama, like his predecessor, had refused to grant private interviews with detainees, and had invoked state secrecy privileges to prevent civil lawsuits by alleged victims of US torture.
Every year the cultural festival the National Eisteddfod appoints new members at a special ceremony.
Others honoured in 2015 include folk singer Sian James along with musician and filmmaker Endaf Emlyn.
They will be honoured by the Gorsedd of the Bards in Meifod, Powys, on 7 August.
Traditionally, Gorsedd members dress in blue, green or white robes and choose a bardic name when inducted.
Winners of the main competitions at the National Eisteddfod are honoured with white robes.
Green robes are for people's contribution to the arts with the blue robes for their work in the fields of law, science, sports, media, as well as local and national activities.
BBC presenter Jones trained as a ballet dancer before going on to grace the nation's television screens.
Although she spoke English at home, she was educated at Welsh-speaking schools, Ysgol Gymraeg Rhydaman and Ysgol Gyfun Maes Yr Yrfa, both in Carmarthenshire,
Gethin, a keen rugby player, trained as a lawyer before turning to local government, where he worked as chief executive of Taff Ely Council, before being appointed WRU president.
Sian James, who has released eight collections of her work as a folk singer, harpist and composer, will receive her green robes.
Emlyn, also receiving his robes, is known as an innovator of Welsh pop music.
Best known for his 1974 album, Salem, he also released several albums as a solo artist and with the band Injaroc.
Head of the Gorsedd of the Bards is the arch druid, an elected post with a term of three years.
The arch druid conducts the gorsedd ceremonies during eisteddfod week, which runs from 1 to 8 August.
A full list of those being honoured will be available on the eisteddfod website.
The U-turn follows a recent controversy involving Chinese artist Ai Weiwei.
In October last year, Ai accused Lego of censorship when it refused to sell its bricks directly to him.
The company said its policy was to reject requests if it believed the bricks would be used to make a political statement.
Ai is known for his criticism of the Chinese government as well as for being one of the world's leading contemporary artists.
He wanted the bricks for an artwork on political dissidents. The artist ended up using "fake" bricks donated to him by the public for an exhibition in Melbourne, Australia.
Ai appeared to react to Lego's decision on Wednesday by posting a picture on Instagram of a young boy sticking bricks onto his face, accompanied by a grinning emoji caption.
When Lego first refused to sell a bulk order of plastic bricks to Ai Weiwei in September, he's thought to have kept the news to himself. But a few weeks later, the announcement that a new Legoland theme park would open in Shanghai led the artist to reveal Lego's decision to stay away from projects that had a "political agenda".
It was a surprising decision by Lego. After all, Ai Weiwei had used Lego before. He created a series of portraits of political dissidents that appeared at an exhibition in Alcatraz prison in 2014.
Back in October, the artist tied Lego's financial interests in China with its decision to refuse his order. His accusation has some merit: KIRKBI, the private Danish company that owns the Lego brand also owns a significant amount of shares in Merlin Entertainment, the British company that operates Legolands around the world.
China is Lego's fastest growing market and the company wouldn't want to irritate Beijing. However, as Lego might attest, few would want to battle the feisty Ai Weiwei.
In a statement posted on its website on Tuesday, Lego said it used to ask customers ordering bulk purchases for the "thematic purpose" of their project, as it did not want to "actively support or endorse specific agendas".
"However, those guidelines could result in misunderstandings or be perceived as inconsistent, and the Lego Group has therefore adjusted the guidelines for sales of Lego bricks in very large quantities," it said.
As of 1 January the company will instead ask that customers make clear the group does not support or endorse their projects, if exhibited in public.
Lego's earlier decision to refuse Ai's request angered the artist, who accused the company of censorship and discrimination, and of attempting to define political art.
The artist told the BBC he welcomed Lego's change of heart.
"I think Lego made a good move, I think this would be a small victory for freedom of speech."
The artist also linked Lego's stance with business interests in China.
The controversy sparked a public backlash resulting in supporters around the world offering to donate toy bricks.
Ai set up "Lego collection points" in different cities, and ended up making a new series of artworks based on the incident as a commentary on freedom of speech and political art.
Correction: This article was changed to make it clear that Ai Weiwei's Melbourne exhibition used non-Lego bricks.
The 23-year-old will join up with the squad for their National League match at Woking on Tuesday.

The Airbus A320 was en route from Paris to Cairo with 66 people aboard when it vanished from radar early on Thursday.
Greece's defence minister said the plane turned 90 degrees left and then did a 360-degree turn towards the right before plummeting.
But a senior Egyptian aviation official said there was no unusual movement.
Ehab Azmy, the head of Egypt's state-run provider of air navigation services, told Associated Press the plane had been flying at its normal height of 37,000ft (11,280m) before dropping off the radar. Some debris has since been found.
"That fact degrades what the Greeks are saying about the aircraft suddenly losing altitude before it vanished from radar," he said.
Greece's defence minister Panos Kammenos had said the radar showed the Airbus A320 making two sharp turns and dropping more than 25,000ft (7,620m) before plunging into the sea.
Mr Azmy added that there were no problems with the plane as it entered Egyptian airspace, where it was tracked for "nearly a minute or two before it disappeared".
Greek aviation officials had said air traffic controllers spoke to the pilot when he entered Greek airspace and everything appeared normal.
They tried to contact him again at 02:27 Cairo time, as the plane was set to enter Egyptian airspace, but "despite repeated calls, the aircraft did not respond".
Last week, the Aviation Herald reported that smoke detectors went off in the plane's toilet and the aircraft's electrics three minutes before it disappeared.
In a statement to Egypt's al-Ahram newspaper, Mr Azmy also denied a report there had been contact between the pilot of the plane and Egyptian air traffic control.
Mr Azmy did not elaborate on his denial to al-Ahram in further interviews with AP and Reuters.
On Sunday, Egypt deployed a robot submarine to search for the flight data recorders of the missing EgyptAir plane.
President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi said there was "no particular theory we can affirm right now" for what caused flight MS804 to crash.
Egypt's civil aviation minister has said the possibility of a terror attack was stronger than technical failure, but Mr Sisi said establishing the cause could take a long time, adding "all scenarios are possible".
The Egyptian military released images on Saturday of life vests, personal items and debris showing the EgyptAir logo which were found during the search in the Mediterranean Sea.
The search has also reportedly found body parts and luggage. The main body of the plane and the two "black boxes" which record flight data and cockpit transmissions have not yet been located.
Air accident investigator Hani Galal told Reuters that, when found, the flight recorders would be analysed in Egypt, unless they were badly damaged. They are believed to be in waters between 2,500m and 3,000m deep.
However, she said despite political differences between the administrations in Edinburgh and Holyrood it was important to avoid a "shouting match".
Powers, including DLA/PIP, Attendance Allowance and Carers Allowance, are to be transferred from Westminster.
Ms Freeman was giving an update to Holyrood's social security committee.
She was quizzed on recent remarks of her SNP colleagues who had highlighted the difficulties between the two governments.
This month, Equalities Secretary Angela Constance said the Scottish government was not going to give information or respond to inquiries if "we think that might lead to a sanction [of benefits]".
And First Minister Nicola Sturgeon also stated the government would not "co-operate in a scheme that is about piling human misery on human misery".
On Thursday, Ms Freeman was asked by Conservative MSP Adam Tomkins how such comments contributed to an "effective and co-operative" working relationship with the UK government.
She replied: "That is the big challenge. The big challenge is that the Scottish government and the UK government start from different political standpoints and those disagreements are not going to go away and we shouldn't pretend that they are going to go away.
"Which is why I also made the point that in this committee, with different members of this committee, in the chamber, we are going to have policy disagreements.
"That is not the same, though, as saying that we will have some kind of political grandstanding or shouting match around this, and that's the bit I want to avoid.
"We'd be daft to try and pretend amongst ourselves, far less to the wider population, that we don't disagree, because we disagree on some things."
Ms Freeman said the Scottish government had secured agreement from former UK work and pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith that it would be for Scottish ministers to decide whether devolved work programmes were voluntary or not.
She said clarification that this was still the case was being sought from his successor Damian Green.
Ms Freeman said the Scottish government had made it clear that it did not believe sanctions were "either fair or effective in their intended overall purpose as outlined to us by the UK government of incentivising people to enter the workplace".
Under a controversial media law introduced in 2011, a Media Council tasked with enforcing the new media legislation was created. Appointments to the Media Council are made by the Fidesz-dominated parliament.
Critics say that this new regulatory body has weakened the ability of state-financed media to act as an institution independent of the government, and has made it more difficult for journalists working in both public and private media to hold the government to account.
A new umbrella organisation for Hungarian public service media, the MTVA, was also set up in 2011. The MTVA is closely linked to the Media Council, as is the National Media and Infocommunications Authority (NMHH), established in 2010.
Since its re-election in 2014, Fidesz has also sought to extend its power over the private media sector, with wealthy Fidesz supporters either taking over existing media outlets or setting up new ones.
There were 7.5 million internet users by November 2015 (Internetworldstats.com).
Chief operating officer Tom Williams told MPs that Washington would be "delighted" if that happened.
Giving evidence to the Commons Treasury Select Committee, he added that the US would make decisions based on the benefits to US rival Boeing.
Airbus employs 6,000 people at its wings plant in Broughton, Flintshire.
Mr Williams, also president of commercial aircraft at Airbus, told the committee's inquiry into Britain leaving the EU, that he was "sceptical" that the World Trade Organisation (WTO) was effective at resolving disputes.
He added that relying on WTO rules if an EU deal could not be reached was not a "sensible fallback position".
Airbus and its main rival, US aircraft giant Boeing, have been in dispute over subsidies for production and development.
Airbus had 731 net aircraft orders last year, compared to 668 for Boeing.
The prime minister said last week that no deal was better than a bad deal as the UK leaves the EU and negotiates its future relationship.
That would mean WTO rules would apply.
WHAT IS THE WORLD TRADE ORGANISATION?

Is free trade good or bad?
Treasury committee member, Conservative MP Steve Baker, who is also a chartered aerospace engineer, said it would be possible to develop a full aircraft industry in the UK.
Mr Williams suggested that would not be a successful model.
Outside north Wales, Airbus employs a further 9,000 workers across the UK.
Mr Williams said any EU deal must allow the company to move its products and workers around Europe, including at short notice and without restrictions.
The UK government has indicated it may try to make special arrangements for key sectors such as aerospace.
If free movement of labour could not be agreed, Mr Williams said the company's concern would be "does the UK not really care about Airbus in the future?"
In light-hearted comments to reporters, Mr Bush said he had done a "disservice to the French" by using them to mock Marco Rubio's senate voting record.
"I made the mistake of saying that the Congress operates on a French work week," he was reported as saying.
He said he had since learned that the French work longer hours than the Germans do.
"So, my God, I totally insulted an entire country - our first ally - that helped us become free as a nation!" Mr Bush said, according to Time magazine.
Mr Bush made the original comments during a Republican presidential debate last week.
The former Florida governor asked Mr Rubio whether the Senate ran on French time and if lawmakers only had to show up for three days weekly.
His campaign spokesman Tim Miller said he had been inundated with emails from French journalists following the debate.
Even Gerard Araud, the French ambassador, responded on Twitter to correct Mr Bush.
The French officially work a 35-hour week though many employees put in far longer hours.
Mr Bush and Mr Rubio are trailing behind Donald Trump and Ben Carson in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
The Nigeria international feels he now has the strength of character to prove he is a top defender.
"I believe those days are past now," he said. "There is a new beginning.
"I'm just focused to keep doing what I'm doing right now, which is keep my head cool, concentrate and to do the simple thing like the gaffer says."
Ambrose was heavily criticised after errors that allowed Fenerbahce to come back from two goals down to draw in their Europa League draw with Celtic in October.
And summer signings Dedryck Boyata and Jozo Simunovic have often been preferred to Ambrose in defence for the Scottish Premiership leaders.
"It's part of the game - it's part of life," said the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations winner. "You get criticised, but the most important thing for me is how you get back from that.
"During that time, the team stood by me, they helped me out and they were there to pull me out of it.
"The gaffer has really helped me as an individual and the team as a group.
"The most important thing is I never give up. I always tried to do my best even when I was playing and even when I made a mistake.
"I tried my best to see if I could come out of it and help the team. The most important thing is the team first, not just me or any individual."
Ambrose has been back in Deila's plans recently and the team have kept three clean sheets in the last four matches he has started.
"I cannot say I'm the best, nobody can say they are the best; we keep learning, football is all about learning," added Ambrose.
"Now I don't try to play out on my own by taking risks. The manager doesn't want me to take risks.
"Like a midfielder I tried to play, I tried to do too much, but now I'm trying to put that behind me.
"He has helped me to improve my game and I need to realise that defending first you need to concentrate to do the simple thing.
"Defend first - anything else is a bonus."
Duo Gareth Daniel and Ian Jones sheared a combined total of 1,457 lambs over nine hours on Friday.
The Nine Hour Two Stand Lamb Shearing record had never been attempted in Britain before.
Their attempt began at 05:00 BST in line with the shearing day in New Zealand, where many shearing records are established and broken.
It continued in sessions of up to two hours until a total of nine hours was reached at 17:00.
According to organisers, scientific tests have suggested that shearing 250 sheep uses the same amount of energy as running a marathon.
Mr Daniel, 33, from Machynlleth, sheared 781 lambs while Mr Jones, 36, from Builth Wells, achieved 676.
The pair spent two years preparing for the event, with both farmers working on their fitness and diet.
One of the event organisers, Huw Condran, compared the record to Olympic success.
He said: "What's been achieved in Rio is excellent, but I think these athletes deserve to be acknowledged too.
"They work for nine hours, seven days a week. They don't run one race and then have a week off, they're back in work.
"And when they're on top of their game, they come here and set records for us."
Opening the batting, Clarke contributed 64 to the hosts' 304-8 in Melbourne.
Coach Darren Lehman then told Australian TV that the 33-year-old may be fit to play against England in their World Cup opener on Saturday.
"If he gets through the fielding and bowls some overs then we'll see what happens," Lehmann said.
Having set the visitors an imposing target at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Clarke fielded and also bowled two overs of left-arm spin as the UAE were bowled out for 116 with just under 20 overs to spare, handing the Aussies a 188-run win.
Clarke had suffered two injuries to his left hamstring in 2014 before tearing his right hamstring while fielding in the first Test against India on 13 December.
He even went so far as to suggest that the injury may have ended his career.
But, by 24 December, he stated his desire to be fit for the World Cup and returned to action in grade cricket on 31 January.
Last week, he batted and bowled for a Cricket Australia XI against Bangladesh and was thought to be working towards a deadline of 21 February - co-hosts Australia's second match of the World Cup, also against Bangladesh - to prove his fitness for the tournament.
Clarke was at the crease for 90 minutes at the MCG and faced 61 balls.
Without ever being asked to fully exert himself, the right-hander struck eight boundaries before offering a leading edge to long-on from the off-spin of Nasir Aziz.
Even after Australia had completed a routine victory, Clarke returned to the outfield for some fielding practice.
In Wednesday's other World Cup warm-ups, Zimbabwe caused an upset by beating Sri Lanka by seven wickets at the Bert Sutcliffe Oval.
After they restricted Sri Lanka to 279-8 from 50 overs, Hamilton Masakadza led the way for the underdogs with an unbeaten 117, backed up by Brendan Taylor (63) and Sean Williams, who made 51 not out after taking 3-35 earlier in the game.
Also in Christchurch, at the Hagley Oval, co-hosts New Zealand eased past South Africa, making 331-8 before bowling the Proteas out for 197 as left-arm paceman Trent Boult took 5-51.
The club bought the Brazilian player Neymar in 2013 for what they said was €57m euros ($41m; $65m).
But a judge in Madrid said he believes the club knew the fee was far higher - and so more tax should have been paid.
The club's current and former presidents have 10 days to respond to the court.
Barcelona and its former president, Sandro Rosell, have previously denied wrongdoing.
The current president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, previously said that the findings were "open to interpretation" and that he would challenge them.
The club said it paid €57m for Neymar, 23, with his parents receiving €45m of the fee.
But investigators allege that the fee for Neymar's transfer from Brazilian team Santos was closer to €83m.
As a result, Barcelona has not paid about €13m in tax, say prosecutors.
The Spanish news agency, Efe, said the club could face a fine of more than €22m if found guilty.
All parties have 10 days to file papers in their defence before the court. No trial date has yet been fixed.
Barcelona need only one more victory to win the Spanish league, and reached the Champions League final after beating Bayern Munich 5-3 on aggregate on Tuesday.
Hamilton refused to answer questions in his post-qualifying news conference on Saturday, accusing the media of being "disrespectful" and then walking out.
It was in response to some reports of his behaviour in an earlier conference.
"Let him do his talking on the track," Mercedes boss Toto Wolff told BBC Sport.
"His performances in the car justify some collateral damage."
The controversy started with a news conference on Thursday, in which Hamilton posted images of himself and fellow driver Carlos Sainz on Snapchat with 'bunny faces' and gave minimal answers.
Some outlets criticised his behaviour and on Saturday he made a brief statement in his usual news conference at Mercedes and then departed.
Hamilton said: "I'm not here to answer your questions, I've decided.
"With the utmost respect, there are many of you here who are super-supportive of me and they hopefully know I know who they are. There are others unfortunately that often take advantage of certain things.
"The other day was a super light-hearted thing, and if I was disrespectful to any of you guys, or if you felt I was disrespectful, it was honestly not the intention. It was just a little bit of fun.
"But what was more disrespectful was what was then written worldwide.
"Unfortunately, there are some people here who it is not them who has done it. And unfortunately the decision I will take affects those who have been super-supportive, so that is why I am saying with the utmost respect.
"But I don't really plan on sitting here many more times for these kind of things so my apologies and I hope you guys enjoy the rest of your weekend."
Some insiders believe Hamilton's behaviour is a response to the pressure he is feeling in the championship.
The world champion qualified second for Sunday's race behind team-mate Nico Rosberg, who has a 23-point advantage in the championship with fives races to go and 125 points still available.
Hamilton did not specify which particular articles he was offended by, and Mercedes said they did not know. The team did not know Hamilton was planning to make his statement.
The issue is likely to be dealt with privately behind the scenes following the race in Japan. It remains to be seen whether Hamilton's news conferences will be reinstated after this race.

Midfielder Nikola Trujic, 25, said the assault happened after his side were eliminated in qualifying on 6 July.
The world players' union Fifpro has asked Uefa to open disciplinary proceedings against Vojvodina and their opponents Ruzomberok of Slovakia.
Vojvodina lost the second leg of the tie 2-0 to exit 3-2 on aggregate.
A Fifpro statement said that immediately after the game "a group of the Serbian club's supporters was able to gain access to the away team's (Vojvodina) changing room, before intimidating and physically assaulting the player".
Trujic also told Serbian media after the incident that about a dozen fans were involved. "They caught me by the neck, I got a blow to my head," he said.
Neither Uefa nor the two clubs have commented on the alleged assault.
Ruzomberok - who beat Norwegian side Brann in the next round after knocking out Vojvodina - face Everton in the third round of Europa League qualifying.
Ezmai Martin was taken to hospital in Guildford after an incident at a flat in Bordon, Hampshire, on 28 June 2015.
She was transferred to St George's Hospital in London, where she died.
Joshua Martin, of Salisbury Close, Alton, appeared before Basingstoke magistrates and was remanded in custody to appear before Winchester Crown Court on Thursday.
Hampshire Police declined to comment on the relationship between Mr Martin and the baby girl.
The singer will play to 65,000 fans at the open-air venue on 2 July, 2017. He has also announced a date for Cardiff's Principality Stadium on 30 June.
It comes a day after the star's single, Sorry, was revealed as the most-streamed video of 2016.
According to video site Vevo, the video was seen 1.8 billion times worldwide, and 87 million times in the UK.
Bieber is up for album of the year at the Grammy Awards, where he received seven nominations earlier this week.
The BST festival has gained a reputation for booking some of music's biggest stars for one-off, exclusive performances.
Last summer's festival saw Carole King play her first UK show for more than 25 years and Stevie Wonder recreating his magnum opus, Songs in the Key of Life, in full.
Bieber is not quite as elusive as those stars, having played 18 dates in the UK this year - including two headline sets at the V Festival in Chelmsford and Staffordshire.
He has gained a reputation for petulant stage behaviour - calling Instagram "the devil" and demanding his fans remain quiet in between songs.
"The screaming in these breaks has got to stop. Please and thank you," he said on stage in Manchester.
"I don't think it's necessary when I'm trying to say something and you guys are screaming."
He addressed the outburst on Twitter, in a string of tweets that have since been deleted.
"There's times when I get upset," he said.
"Times when I get angry, there's time's when I'm going to be frustrated. But I'm always going to be myself on stage."
Support for his BST shows comes from pop acts Tove Lo, Anne-Marie and Martin Garrix.
The 2017 BST festival has previously announced headline slots from Green Day, Kings of Leon and Phil Collins.

Two teams of players, the officials, the mascots and a doctor, all called Bungay, were involved in the match at Bungay Town's ground in Bungay.
Players ranged in age from four to 68 and the match finished level, at 6-6.
Organiser Shaun Cole said: "Keiran Bungay scored two penalties to complete his hat-trick and make it a draw."
Mr Cole, part of the Bungay Town FC committee, said: "The pitch was full of Bungays and the stand was full of Bungays.
"One chap came from Queensland, Australia, to play."
The game was overseen by qualified referee John Bungay, who had to send off the Australian Chris Bungay for swearing.
About 200 people were in the stands, including several other Bungays who had responded to the club's online appeal.
The match was raising money for the Jack and Ada Beattie Foundation.
You may recall the "Saudi Arabia of renewables" rhetoric. Land was earmarked for Dundee and Leith and Renfrew and Methil. Thousands of jobs were attached to the announcements.
It's not turning out that way. And the announcement that two of the biggest players are joining forces - Siemens and Gamesa - makes it even less likely.
So what's going on, and what's gone wrong for Scotland's plans?
Part of the story was that Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) would be pioneered in the North Sea, treating the emissions from power stations at either Longannet or Peterhead.
They were in a competition for £1bn of UK government funding to make Britain a centre for that new technology. But the funding has been withdrawn. Both projects have been ended. The chances of Britain pioneering CCS now look very slim.
The wind business has picked up though, at least onshore, helping Scotland to reach its ambitious emission targets for the first time.
And how many of the turbines sprouting around Scotland are made in this country, generating jobs as well as power? Of the larger turbines, only a few, from the small manufacturing plant at Campbeltown.
That has seen some rocky times financially. Bailed out by SSE and Highlands and Islands Enterprise, they sold it in April to a Korean firm, at which point it was employing 134 people.
Other turbines are imported from the countries which got ahead in the early days of turbine manufacturing - Denmark, Spain and Germany.
And with Britain having the most ambitious offshore wind plans of any country, the German bosses at Siemens agreed to put a manufacturing plant on this side of the North Sea.
Including improvements to the port of Hull, the investment is of £350m, with 200 jobs in construction and 1,000 in the factory. It is due to open on 1 September this year.
The plans in Scotland have withered. In 2010, Mitsubishi took over Artemis hydraulic power pioneers near Edinburgh, with talk of £100m investment on the way.
The then first Minister, Alex Salmond, said back then: "The decision will create 30 high-quality jobs, safeguard 25 jobs and is likely to create 200 jobs by 2015. And as well as delivering new jobs and investment, over the long-term this announcement could result in the creation of a major offshore wind turbine manufacturing site in Scotland."
Artemis now has a team of about 50, and Mitsubishi has a test centre at Hunterston in North Ayrshire.
Doosan, based in Korea, announced £170m of investment, and design of a new, very large turbine - perhaps in Renfrew, perhaps Dundee. Over ten years, more than 800 new jobs were foreseen.
That was in March 2011. (The proximity to that year's election was surely coincidental, wasn't it?)
The following, December, they pulled out of the plan. Not only had they under-estimated the difficulty of getting into the market, but they hadn't reckoned on Britain's unpredictable regulatory regime.
In February 2012, GE Energy pulled out of plans for a British manufacturing facility.
The next month, Gamesa announced it had chosen Leith over Hartlepool and Dundee as the location for its British turbine-making factory. The announcement came with the prospect of 800 jobs, and lots more indirectly, along with £125m of investment.
This was "conditional upon development of offshore wind projects in the area, securing government support and the availability of sites for prototypes". These have turned out to be significant conditions.
The following December, it was French firm Areva announcing plans to locate a manufacturing plant in Scotland, for nacelle gear casing and for turbine blades. That would have brought 750 jobs.
But then, Gamesa and Areva joined forces on developing wind turbine technology, creating a company called Adwen. They were no longer likely to build two plants in Scotland. And so far, they haven't built one.
This is what they said when they joined forces: "The company will fulfil industrial commitments engaged by Areva and Gamesa, in France and in the UK, comprising the creation of factories in Le Havre and the implementation of a network of suppliers and partners throughout the country."
And now that Gamesa and Siemens are getting together, they are looking for €230m of savings from overlapping operations.
So far, the hopes for manufacturing turbines have come to very little. There are a modest number of higher-skill jobs in designing and in managing the portfolio of wind turbines.
Scottish Power, part of Iberdrola, manages its worldwide offshore wind arrays from Glasgow.
Gamesa opened a centre for wind turbine design at Bellshill in Lanarkshire, and a management centre in Cumbernauld. The new joint venture may wish to take a look at their overlap with Siemens.
Siemens has a small service centre in Livingston, to look after its turbines throughout Scotland. And as it claims that its technology generates around half the wind power in Scotland, that means a lot of turbines.
So far, the hopes of manufacturing have come to not much at all. Some jobs have been sustained in Fife and Stornoway, building the platforms on which offshore turbines stand.
A significant order has just been confirmed for BiFab, owner of the yards, to supply the huge Beatrice wind farm development in the Moray Firth.
Then there's Liberty Capital, new owners of Lanarkshire's mothballed steel plants. Once fired up again, it is targeting its output at fabrication work for all those offshore wind turbines.
That would clearly be welcome, if it happens. But with recent experience triumphing over hype and hope, it might be wise to remain at least a little sceptical.
They made the discovery when they continuously monitored the blood pressure of nearly 700,000 people as they went about their normal lives.
Some 37% of 8,295 patients thought to have stubborn or resistant hypertension actually had "white coat" hypertension.
The experts call for mandatory 24-hour checks, Hypertension journal reports.
The NHS advisory body NICE has recently proposed that patients suspected of having high blood pressure will get another check at home because of fears that nerves from being at a GP surgery may be leading to too many people being diagnosed.
It says so-called white coat hypertension affects a quarter of all people.
But the latest research suggests that the phenomenon may be more common and is leading some people to have aggressive medical treatment that they may not actually need.
Resistant hypertension occurs when a patient's blood pressure remains above treatment goals, despite using three different types of drugs at the same time.
It was these patients that the researchers focused on.
They asked the patients to wear a portable "ambulatory" monitoring device that takes blood pressure readings every 20 minutes day and night.
This revealed only 63% had true resistant hypertension. These tended to be patients who either smoked or had diabetes or a heart condition.
Study leader Dr Alejandro de la Sierra, from the University of Barcelona in Spain, said: "Physicians should be encouraged to use ambulatory monitoring to confirm resistant hypertension in their patients as it would ensure the most effective treatment options are used.
"Patients benefit by knowing whether their blood pressure is normal during daily activities or still needs the reinforcement of dietary and drug measures."
Ellen Mason, senior cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said the findings suggest that medication can work for more people than realised.
"Visiting the doctor seemed to make some people falsely appear resistant to the effects of these drugs so the study was helpful in trying to identify which people seemed to be truly resistant and therefore more at risk of organ damage.
"It also adds weight to new draft guidelines to include a home blood pressure test for hypertensive patients here in the UK."
But she said: "More worryingly though, nearly half of us who do have high blood pressure in the UK are not being treated for it.
"While the increasing use of home blood pressure monitoring is helpful for some, it will not target those who are unaware of the silent condition because it may have been many years since they had their blood pressure taken or because they simply think they are not at risk."
Writer Neil Gibbons, who helped write the Norwich DJ's first book and the successful Alan Partridge film, revealed the news on Twitter.
He promised the book, which is due for release in 2016, would include "new Monkey Tennis revelations".
Publishers Orion said the journal would be a collection of diary entries, letters, "think pieces" and programme and business ideas.
Orion announced it had bought a book "by Alan Partridge, which will be written 'with help' from Steve Coogan and Rob and Neil Gibbons".
Twin brother comedy writers Neil and Rob Gibbons started working with Coogan when he brought back his DJ alter-ego in an online Partridge show called Mid Morning Matters in 2011.
They also worked on his first autobiography I, Partridge: We Need to talk about Alan, which was published in 2011 to rave reviews.
"An acutely observed mock-memoir, touching on the great man's highs (receiving a Burton's Gold Card) and lows (Toblerone addiction) in equally self-regarding manner," said the Independent on Sunday when it was published.
And Time Out gave it four stars: "As a parody of celebrity autobiography, it's sound; but as a sustained piece of comic writing, it's outstanding".
Coogan admitted that he decided to write Partridge's life story as a way of getting out of writing his own.
"Publishers asked me to do one, but no-one asked me to do the Alan Partridge autobiography - I suggested it as a sort of deflecting device," he told BBC's Front Row.
Coogan wrote the book in the same way as the hit TV show, with him and the other writers improvising.
But he admitted he did not set out the first Alan Partridge autobiography to be satirical.
"We just wanted to do what he would do in trying to write his autobiography.
"He wants to make his life more than unremarkable, so every single event in his life he tries to spin into something it's not.
"There was an argument between his parents about tax returns that he tries to turn into some kind of nightmare childhood - as if it was torturous for him and he was scarred by it". | Championship strugglers Blackburn drew with managerless Wolves in a game marked by protests by home supporters.

Mishi Mboko, the women's representative for the coastal city of Mombasa, says it was the best strategy to shore up opposition votes.
"Women, this is the strategy you should adopt. It is the best. Deny them sex until they show you their voter's card," she said.
The registrations ends on 17 February.
Ms Mboko said sex was a powerful weapon and would encourage reluctant men to rush to register as voters in the exercise that began on Monday.
She said her husband would not be affected by the boycott as he had already registered, the Standard newspaper reports.
Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta will be seeking a second term and is expected to be challenged by a candidate supported by an alliance of opposition parties, including Ms Mboko's ODM.
Ms Mboko said that the opposition alliance had a better chance of winning the elections if its supporters registered in huge numbers.
Calls for sex boycotts are common in Kenya. In 2009, women activists held a week-long sex strike to get then President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga and their allies to reconcile after falling out.
In a speech in Manchester, he pledged to set up a regulator to stop firms being "rolled" on to higher tariffs and forced to pay "crippling" bills.
He said a Labour government would ensure small firms were given the same legal protections as householders.
But Chancellor George Osborne accused Labour of "phoney" commitments.
Some of the biggest energy firms raised their tariffs at the end of last year, and energy prices have become a keenly contested political issue in recent months.
The opposition leader's speech comes a day after a competition inquiry into the "big six" energy firms was announced and in the same week as energy supplier SSE said it would freeze prices on households bills until January 2016.
Addressing the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) annual conference, Mr Miliband said small business was "Britain's best hope" for a lasting and broad-based economic recovery.
He said firms did not have the same level of protection as consumers and promised to give business organisations new legal rights to take cases - such as late payment by firms or government departments - to court on behalf of their members.
On energy, he said a new regulator would have the power to enforce a ban on suppliers rolling firms over on to more expensive tariffs without their consent - or imposing retrospective back-billing for periods of longer than a year.
"We have to mend the broken energy market and freeze bills up to 2017 not just for customers of one company but for all customers of all the energy companies and all customers," he said.
Last October, Labour pledged to freeze domestic and commercial energy prices for 20 months from the middle of 2015 if it wins next year's general election, a move criticised at the time by the energy industry.
Mr Miliband said it was unacceptable that companies did not have "even basic protections that are available to households under the law from unfair energy contracts".
"The next Labour government would ban the energy companies from rolling small businesses on to more expensive tariffs without their consent," he said.
"And we will create proper competition enforced by a new regulator to keep prices as low as possible for the years ahead."
Regulator Ofgem said it had already taken action to protect small businesses, including enforcing standards of conduct on billing and switching and requiring suppliers to provide clearer information to customers.
Firms abusing the rules faced much larger fines in future, it added.
Mr Osborne, who also addressed the conference on Friday, said he had announced a plan in last week's Budget to reduce total energy costs for industry by £7bn.
Among steps being taken include a freeze on the "carbon floor" - a fossil fuels tax - for firms, which the government estimates will save medium-sized manufacturers £50,000 a year by 2018.
"We've also cut bills for families by reducing the taxes and green levies, quite often which the last Labour government put on," he said.
"That's a real demonstration of our commitment to create jobs in this country and help families in this country."
Mr Osborne has also launched a consultation on measures to help small and medium-sized businesses which have been rejected for a loan.
The government is considering whether to legislate to require lenders to release information on SMEs (small and medium enterprises) which they reject for finance, so that they can be identified and approached by alternative credit providers.
It marks the location at 2 Whitehall Court where his predecessor - the first "C" or chief of the Secret Service, Sir Mansfield Cumming - lived and worked.
In the world of James Bond the head of MI6 may be known as M, but in real life he is C - named after Cumming. Some of Cumming's traditions remain, such as the chief using green ink to sign letters.
Alex Younger used his first public speech since becoming the 16th C to compare the Secret Service which Cumming ran between 1909 and 1923 with that of today.
Mr Younger recalled that on his first day in MI6 he had been told that Cumming had cut off his own leg with a penknife to escape the wreckage of a car crash.
This story may actually not be true, he acknowledged, but it added to the mythology (Cumming also was said to stab his leg in front of potential recruits in his office without them realising it was a wooden leg, to assess their reaction).
The current Chief of MI6 said the central task of recruiting agents who work overseas to pass on information had remained the same.
He added that now, as then, secrecy had to remain over who they were.
The threats, though, had changed - and Mr Younger said MI6 now existed to protect Britain from the dark side of globalisation.
Technology has always been part of MI6. Cumming loved fast cars and secret inks.
Today, though, technology in the form of the internet and data has transformed the spying business, making it easier to find potential agents but also for the other side to do the same to you.
There was no overt reference to the revelations from former US intelligence worker Edward Snowden, but the debate over the capabilities of spy agencies is likely to be one that will draw considerable attention from the new MI6 chief.
"Using data appropriately and proportionately offers us a priceless opportunity to be even more deliberate and targeted in what we do and thus be better at protecting our agents and this country," Mr Younger said.
"That is good news. The bad news is that the same technology in opposition hands, an opposition often unconstrained by consideration of ethics and law, allows them to see what we are doing and put our people and agents at risk."
Mr Younger said there was a technological arms race with MI6's adversaries and he said his task was to keep the British Secret Service in the premier league by developing capabilities fit for the data age.
Other changes from Cumming's day included the fact that MI6 is now publicly acknowledged by the government and scrutinised by others.
Mr Younger said this was an advantage even though he said that after a lifetime of cultivating a lower profile than anyone else in the room, he found it daunting to suddenly see his name out in the public.
The type of people who worked for MI6 had also been transformed, he said, as the service draws from a wider range of backgrounds.
But for all the change over the past century, Mr Younger said that he thought if Cumming could walk into the modern MI6 he would share his successor's satisfaction at the way staff used guile and creativity to put one over on those who meant Britain harm.
It comes a day after those killed in the accident where named by the British Transport Police (BTP).
They were Donald Collett, 62, from Croydon, Philip Logan, 52, and Robert Huxley, 63, both from New Addington.
Those already named were Mark Smith, Dane Chinnery, Phil Seary and Dorota Rynkiewicz.
Bishop Jonathan Clarke of Croydon Minster read out the names during the cathedral's annual service of remembrance for the fallen in two world wars and in other conflicts.
The tram driver, Alfred Dorris, 42, from Beckenham, south-east London, is currently on bail.
He was arrested after the derailment on suspicion of manslaughter. Investigations into the crash are continuing.
A spokesman for FirstGroup, which operates the south London tram network for TfL said: "We can confirm that Alfred Dorris has worked for us since March 2008.
"Given the ongoing investigation we don't have anything further to add at this point."
After the service, Croydon Mayor Wayne Trakas-Lawlor said: it was an "incredibly sad day for Croydon".
"Croydon is a town in mourning and our thoughts and prayers are with those affected. May those who lost their lives, rest in eternal peace," he said.
The tram carriages were removed by accident investigators and taken away on the back of two lorries on Saturday morning.
All sections have now been taken away from the scene as the Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) continues its inquiry.
Transport for London (TfL) said its engineers were making "good progress" with repairs to the tram track at the scene of the accident, but that services between East Croydon and Harrington Road, Addington Village and Elmers End would remain suspended on Monday.
TfL said it was not yet in a position to say when tram services would resume.
Families and friends of those who died have paid tribute.
The family of Mr Logan described him as "a true family man and generous friend to all, with a magnificently dry sense of humour".
"Phil was a man with more love, compassion and zest for life than words can express. He will be immensely missed by all that knew him", they said.
The family and friends of Mr Collett said he was a "well loved, funny and generous man, who could light up a room with his smile".
The family of Robert Huxley described him as "a larger than life character" and loving husband, father and grandfather.
In a statement they said: "This tragedy will have far reaching consequences and impact many people for a significant time. We are all heartbroken."
A group of up to 100 people walked to the site of the crash on Saturday carrying banners, flags and flowers.
Addressing mourners, one man said: "I've got a huge hole in my life which I've got to fill in and it's going to take to the day I die."
A crowdfunding website set up by Croydon Council in the wake of the derailment has so far raised more than £11,000 to help the families of the victims.
The family of Phil Seary, 57, from New Addington, said he was a "much loved wonderful son, faithful husband and a loving and doting father".
Mr Seary's daughter, Karina Mimms, said he was "a gentle giant... He had an absolute heart of gold and would do anything for anybody".
Dorota Rynkiewicz, 35, from New Addington, was the only woman to die in the crash.
Simon Smith, chief executive of SSP UK where she worked, said the company "offered our heartfelt condolences to her family and we are doing all we can to support them at this difficult time."
Nineteen-year-old Dane Chinnery, from New Addington, was described as "a beautiful lad".
Barbara Dumbleton, a family friend, said the teenager "always had a smile on his face... he was absolutely lovely."
St George's Hospital in Tooting, south London, said three patients remained in a serious condition following surgery.
Croydon Council said some had suffered "life-changing" injuries.
Other staff administered CPR to the man who was said to be in cardiac arrest after being injured.
Ambulance staff were called to the scene and were unable to save the man, who was confirmed dead a short time later.
JLR said it was "deeply saddened" and had started an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.

It is not yet clear what injuries the man suffered or how he was hurt.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to the plant in Lode Lane just before 15:00 BST on Sunday.
A spokeswoman said paramedics arrived to find "staff administering CPR to a man who had been injured and was in cardiac arrest".
"Ambulance staff and the medics took over advanced life support but sadly, despite the best efforts of everyone on scene, nothing could be done to save the man and he was confirmed dead a short time later."
A JLR spokesperson said: "We are deeply saddened about the death of one of our colleagues and our thoughts are with the individual's family and friends at this difficult time.
"An investigation has been launched into the circumstances surrounding this incident and we are of course co-operating fully with the authorities involved."

Mairi Hedderwick, author and illustrator of the ginger-haired Isle of Struay adventurer, produced the festive drawing.
The picture shows children from around the world being welcomed to Ms Sturgeon's official residence, Bute House in Edinburgh.
Cards will feature the print and the original will be auctioned for charity.
The proceeds of the sale will be shared between four charities;
Ms Sturgeon said: "I am delighted that Mairi Hedderwick was able to create such a wonderful illustration for this year's Christmas card.
"Katie Morag's adventures accompanied by Mairi's beautiful illustrations are adored by both children and adults right across the world.
"Christmas is a time for spending time with those that we love, but it is also a time for thinking about those less fortunate than ourselves."
She added: "There is no doubt that Scotland is a caring and compassionate country but this year in particular, I have been so proud of the warm welcome and kindness which has been extended to all who have come here."
Two years ago, the popular children's book was adapted for television and is shown on the BBC's Cbeebies channel. The key role is played by young actress Cherry Campbell who posed with the Christmas illustration alongside Ms Hedderwick and Ms Sturgeon.
Special packs of past first minister Christmas card will go on sale in National Galleries of Scotland shops in Edinburgh from next week.
They will feature the artwork of Jack Vettriano, Elizabeth Blackadder, John Lowrie Morrison, Peter Howson and Phyllis Dodd.

Rachel Miller has paid "brokers" up to £7,500 a time to free sex slaves.
She travelled to parts of southern Turkey this summer that the Foreign Office had declared no-go zones.
But the recent coup attempt in Turkey means she cannot work "under the radar" any longer, she said.
Ms Miller, 40, a mother-of-three from Cinderhill in Nottingham, said her Kurdish husband supported her work but she did not always tell him the full story until after she had returned.
"I don't deal directly with the slavers - but I deal with a broker who has contacted a family that wants to free their child from slavery," she said.
"He says I can get your daughter but it will cost - it can cost up to $10,000."
Her husband often stays in Britain with their two young children, who are seven and eight years old, while she makes her trips abroad.
She said she would not be returning to Turkey in the near future as "the police presence and road blocks have increased".
"I could feel the tension and I was worried I might be arrested," she explained.
She has raised almost £40,000 in crowd funding to take supplies to the refugees and has travelled to camps in France and to the island of Kos in Greece.
"A lot of people say 'you are funding Isis' but you have to got to remember these are children," she said.
"You can't change the world, but you can change a life."
Ms Miller, who has even sold some of her own gold wedding jewellery to fund freeing the girls, said she would continue working to help refugees and was planning to travel next to northern Iraq.
She is setting up a charity shop called Mesopotamia in a former bank in Nottingham to raise more money.
"You sell what you've got - I've sold at car boots and on eBay and on internet sites and begged and borrowed," she said.
Police said four people were shot, one fatally, and one other stabbed at the Denver Coliseum just before 13:00 (20:00 GMT).
The venue was hosting the Colorado Motorcycle Expo, one of the largest events of its kind in the US.
Three people suffered other injuries, possibly in a fight, police said.
Denver Police chief Robert White told a press conference the clashes took place between rival motorcycle gangs, but he would not name the groups suspected of being involved.
One "person of interest" was being interviewed, but no-one had been arrested, he said.
In May 2015, a shoot-out between rival bike gangs in Waco, Texas, killed nine people and led to more than 170 arrests.
The motorcycle show, which was allowed to continue for four hours after the shootout, has been cancelled on Sunday.
The visitors had a goal disallowed in the first half when Stina Blackstenius' header was ruled out for offside.
Gilly Flaherty then tripped Lotta Schelin in the area but Chamberlain saved Kosovare Asllani's penalty.
England manager Mark Sampson had made 10 changes to the side that lost to Norway on Sunday.
The Lionesses looked sharp and enjoyed good passages of play but found clear-cut chances hard to come by against the Rio Olympics silver medallists.
England's best effort fell to captain on the night Jordan Nobbs, whose powerful shot from the edge of the area curled just wide of the post.
As expected with Women's Super League clubs only returning to training two weeks ago, Sampson made wholesale changes to the team, with only Chamberlain retaining her place.
The Liverpool goalkeeper once again impressed, making a string of quick reaction saves from close range as well parrying away the late penalty.
In her first England appearance in almost four years, Rachel Williams dominated the midfield, winning challenges all over the pitch.
The Notts County player, who also works as a plasterer, displayed power and strength across the 90 minutes.
With usual skipper Steph Houghton starting on the bench, Nobbs led the side and the Arsenal midfielder distributed the ball well under pressure.
And Chelsea's Millie Bright defended bravely on her first senior England start.
England now have a five-week break before they take part in the SheBelieves Cup in the United States.

The 25-year-old cost in the region of £14m and has signed a four-and-a-half-year deal.
Gabbiadini, who has six caps for Italy, joined Napoli from Sampdoria in 2015 and has scored 16 goals in 56 league appearances.
"One of my dreams was to perform in one of the biggest leagues in the world, so now that it's happening I can't wait to start playing," Gabbiadini said.
"The facilities that I have seen here are an incredible level - top-level standards even for Serie A. These are the sort of facilities that make you want to come here."
Gabbiadini has not started a Serie A match for the Naples side since November, but scored in a Coppa Italia victory over Spezia in January and has three goals in his past three games, including two appearances off the bench.
The forward started his career at Atalanta, playing 26 games and having a loan spell at Cittadella in Serie B.
In the summer of 2012 he joined Juventus in a co-ownership deal with Atalanta, but never played a game for the Turin side and was loaned out to Bologna before leaving for Sampdoria in 2013.

Services between Birmingham New Street and Cheltenham were cancelled following the crash at Abbotswood, Worcestershire.
A man was spotted running from the tractor after it struck the bridge shortly after 21:10 BST on Friday.
Network Rail said services have been now restored.
A train travelling from Cardiff to Birmingham hit the debris at 21:30 BST and although it was damaged it did not derail.
The tractor had been reported stolen from a farm in Drakes Broughton, Pershore.
A Network Rail spokeswoman said Cross Country services south of Birmingham towards Bristol, Exeter and Plymouth, had earlier been cancelled.
"A tractor, believed to be stolen, hit and demolished the parapet above a railway bridge, causing debris to fall onto the track below," she added.
West Mercia Police said the suspect was described as a white man in his early 20s, wearing a purple hooded top and dark trousers.
Teenager Jones, 18, initially joined City on an emergency loan in March, making six first-team appearances.
But, prior to that, he had already clocked up 40 appearances in all competitions in little over a year for the Daggers, scoring four goals.
Dagenham & Redbridge Academy product Jones' new contract with City will officially start on 1 July.

"It got a little bit tight at the end," City manager Tony Mowbray told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire.
"After playing for us, a few clubs became even more alert than they already were and were potentially trying to hijack a deal, but Dagenham and Jodi and his family remained loyal to our agreements.
"I like his directness and his positive play. We can develop him. He can become a goalscorer as well. He can dribble around the end of the box, get a yard and shoot with his left foot. We're excited about him.
"I'm just trying to find some footballers that the club can invest in and give them two, three and four-year contracts, then you can have a continuity to the team."
Technical Director Mark Venus added: "This is the most valuable transfer for the club for a number of years. We need deals like this to help progress to the next level. We've been able to beat a number of other clubs to his signature."

Kieran Brookes, 14, from Devon, died after the straps of his backpack became entangled on a ski lift near Geneva.
Lift supervisor Richard Cettour, 50, of Bonnevaux, France and lift company SAEM Sports et Tourisme a Châtel both face one count of indirect manslaughter.
Kieran's father Nick Brookes told the court it had "been a struggle to keep things going since the accident."
The accused faced questions about how the teenager was still wearing his backpack when he got on the lift.
Kieran, who went to Torquay Grammar School, was on a six-seat ski lift at Châtel when he tried to climb off at the top of the slope, in February 2011.
SAEM and Mr Cettour are accused of failing to enforce a rule banning skiers from boarding the lift while wearing backpacks, not carrying out daily checks on equipment and not ensuring a safety device which could stop the lift was properly installed.
Mr Cettour is also accused of a number of failings, including not being at his post at the time of the accident and not reacting to other skiers' calls to hit the emergency stop.
Kieran's parents, Nick and Cindy Brookes, from Bovey Tracey, Devon, said they had not realised the extent of his injuries until they travelled to the scene.
He was later taken to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, where he died on 17 March 2011.
Kieran's family were in court at Thonon Les Bains, where the case is being heard before three judges, who are expected to deliver a verdict within a month.
Keiran's father Nick Brookes told the court: "More has to be done to stop such a thing ever happening again."
"We have had to live through this every day since the accident. It is a struggle to keep things going. We just want our son and our lives back but I know I can't have that," he said.
Richard Cettour's lawyer Luc Hinterman told the court: "He was doing something that was an ordinary part of his job and could never have imagined that 14 seconds of doing this ordinary thing would result in a death"
It also heard from Thomas Painta, SAEM's lawyer, who said: "The company does not recognise it's criminal guilt, but does recognise civil guilt.
"There is no proof Kieran Brookes had a backpack on when he got on the lift."
The judges will deliberate and are due to give their ruling on 17 November.
The prosecution said they would be seeking a one-year jail term for Richard Cettour and a 75,000 euros (£55,500) fine for SAEM.
A separate civil case against the company's insurers is expected to be heard at a later date in the UK.
Sadly four people have died and around 40 people are injured.
The attacker was shot dead by armed police,
Lots of you have been in touch with us to ask questions about the attack, so we asked our reporter Leah to help answer some of them...
If you're upset by anything in the news take a look at the advice here.
Leah: I grew up in London and I was in the capital after the 7/7 bombings - I quickly realised that the capital and its people are resilient. Today, adults will have gone back to work as normal - using the usual transport network they always did. And children will be back at school. There's also a huge Police presence not just around London but across the UK.
Leah: There's an on-going Police investigation and security forces will be working really hard to find out everything they can about the attacker and why he carried this out. police say he was British born and influenced by international terrorism.
Leah: London is the capital of the UK and Westminster is a really important place and sometimes a target for attacks. But London has some of the best security in place to try to stop things like this happening.
Leah: The attacker tried to get into the Houses of Parliament and the police were trying to protect the people who work there.
Leah: It's perfectly normal to feel upset or even worried when something like this happens. It's really important to talk to friends, teachers or family members about how you're feeling. Always remember that attacks like this are rare and the people who were affected will be getting all the help they need to recover from what's happened. If you are worried about anything in the news, check out our guide
Leah: Police were very quick to arrive on the scene and many different officers have been involved from transport police to counter-terrorism officers. The Metropolitan police say that there are police officers on duty 24 hours a day around the Palace of Westminster, and the area around that is also patrolled by police at all times.
Only four are seen as having serious chances, three of them - Raila Odinga, Uhuru Kenyatta and Wycliffe Mudavadi - scions of long-standing political dynasties. Here, BBC Monitoring profiles all the candidates.
Prime Minister Raila Odinga is making his third attempt at the presidency, having unsuccessfully stood in 1997 and 2007. Widely regarded as the favourite this time, he claims to have been robbed of victory by vote-rigging in the last election.
The dispute prompted widespread violence, which was ended by a power-sharing deal under which Mr Odinga became prime minister. The post is to be abolished under the new 2010 constitution.
Born the son of Kenya's first vice-president, Jaramogi Oginga Odina, in 1945, he has a passionate following in his native Nyanza region, in Kenya's west. He is unpopular in central Kenya, the heartland of the Kikuyu community, who are seen as rivals of Mr Odinga's Luo people.
He is the candidate of the Coalition of Reforms and Democracy (Cord). This includes the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), which he formed to challenge his arch-rival, outgoing President Mwai Kibaki in 2007, whom he helped get elected 2002 before falling out with him. His supporters calls him Agwambo - "Act of God" in Luo.
Full profile: Raila Odinga
Uhuru Kenyatta is the son of Kenya's founding President, Jomo Kenyatta, and also said to be heir to one of the country's largest fortunes.
Currrently a deputy prime minister, he has been indicted by the ICC for alleged crimes against humanity during the 2007-8 post-election violence. Far from wrecking his presidential bid, as was expected, the charges have galvanised support for him among those who resent them as foreign interference.
Mr Kenyatta's Jubilee Coalition has a powerful source of support in two of Kenya's major ethnic groups - his own Kikuyu and the Kalenjin of running mate William Ruto, who has also been indicted by the ICC. The Kikuyu in particular see Mr Kenyatta as the Njamba ("hero") who "defended" them in 2007.
A fierce critic of Mr Odinga, Mr Kenyatta lost to President Kibaki in 2002 after having been groomed as successor to former President Daniel arap Moi. He backed Mr Kibaki in 2007, becoming one of the most powerful members of his cabinet. Born in 1961, he would be Kenya's youngest ever president.
Full profile: Uhuru Kenyatta
Soft-spoken Wycliffe Mudavadi is making his first bid for the presidency after having been running mate to Mr Kenyatta in 2002 and Mr Odinga in 2007. He is the other of two deputy prime ministers, and is seen as a potential kingmaker in the event of a run-off.
Born a member of the numerous Luhya community in western Kenya in 1960, he is the son of a prominent former politician, Moses Mudamba Mudavadi. His family has close ties with former President Moi, Mr Mudavadi Snr having served as a minister under Mr Moi and marrying a relative of the president.
His Amani Coalition includes Mr Moi's former ruling Kenya African National Union (Kanu) party.
Often depicted in cartoons as a harmless and gullible character, he is sometimes accused of being too laid back and lacking political toughness.
Full profile: Musalia Mudavadi
The only woman standing for the presidency, Martha Karua was a strong supporter of President Kibaki until they fell out in April 2009.
Standing for her National Rainbow Coalition-Kenya party, she sees herself as a reformist battling widespread corruption. Her critics accuse her of having failed to make much headway while serving as justice minister under Mr Kibaki.
An ethnic Kikuyu, Ms Karua was born in 1957 in central Kenya. She became an MP in 1992, making her name as a vociferous critic of the Moi government.
Peter Kenneth, an assistant minister for planning, says he is "not a career politician", adding that he avoids tribal politics and can unite Kenya.
Born in a low-income district of Nairobi in 1965, Mr Kenneth says he comes from a humble background and was educated through charity. He is of mixed parentage and since 2002 has represented a central Kenya constituency.
A former banker, he stresses his economic expertise and promises to solve what he sees as Kenya's main problems - unemployment and food security. He is standing for the Eagle coalition.
Academic and former senior civil servant James ole Kiyapi is a leading critic of career politicians.
The candidate of the Restore and Build Kenya (RBK), which has no seats in parliament, he promises to fix what he calls Kenya's problem of "recycling failed leaders" and to "give back power to the people".
He has sharply criticised Kenya's courts after the High Court refused to rule on whether Mr Kenyatta and Mr Ruto should be barred from the election because of their ICC indictments. Born in south-west Kenya in 1961, he is an ethnic Maasai.
Paul Muite is a veteran lawyer who was at the forefront of the campaign for democratic reform in the early 1990s.
He is the candidate of the Safina (Ark) political party, which he co-founded. He promises "social and economic justice" and wants to propel Kenya to developed-nation status within five years. Born in 1945, he served as MP for a constituency just outside Nairobi in 1992-2007.
An ethnic Kikuyu from central Kenya, Mr Muite is a prominent critic of established Kikuyu politicians, including Mr Kibaki and Mr Kenyatta. He is also involved in a lawsuit by independence war veterans against the British government.
Muhamud Dida was a virtual political unknown before standing for president and portrays himself as a defender of the common man. Born in 1975, he is the youngest candidate and the only Muslim in the race.
He is of mixed heritage from Wajir, a town in the Somali-majority area of Kenya; his mother is a Kenyan-Somali and his father is from the Borana community.
A former high school teacher, he has turned out to be something of an entertainer amid the otherwise rough, ethnically-tinged politics of Kenya. He is well liked by social media commentators for his often quirky comments, although this has had no impact on his low poll ratings.
He puts his entire campaign budget at $5,300 (£3,500), and has described top government salaries as "madness".

A massive Spanish flag dominates the otherwise bare, concrete square and the countless lanes of gridlocked traffic around it. A booming red-and-yellow message of national might, emanating from the capital city.
When I first moved to Madrid, a Basque friend of mine took me to Plaza Colon as a key point of interest.
"Look at that insult," he said. "A huge two fingers up by the Madrid government to us in the rest of Spain. What about regional sensitivities?"
The Madrid-centrism of Franco's military dictatorship, when regional languages and culture were banned and their prominent human defenders imprisoned or murdered, still divides Spain, 40 years after his death.
Just how polarised society can be was clear from the headlines in the bestselling Spanish papers following Catalonia's regional elections.
Front-page news in the centre-left El Pais and centre-right El Mundo described a "disaster" for the pro-independence camp, which "failed to get a majority of votes".
The national broadsheet, La Vanguardia - published in Catalonia - screamed: "Absolute majority for the independence parties with record voter turnout."
Confused? Of course. And every Spaniard will interpret the complex results of the Catalan elections according to his or her personal convictions.
Independence debate gets personal
Catalonia's quarrel with Madrid
Independence campaigner Thais Botinas told me today the vote was a clear victory for independence, though she wished it had been even more decisive.
Antonio Lopez-Isturiz, a member of the executive committee of the Spanish People's Party in national government, could not have been more dismissive.
"We see the situation no differently today than yesterday or the day before," he told me. "This was just a regional election, not a fake referendum or anything else. Nothing whatsoever has changed."
Except it has, of course. On the back of yesterday's election, the pro-independence grouping can claim an absolute majority, with the backing of the radical left CUP - an awkward bedfellow, if ever there was one.
Catalan regional President Arturo Mas says he will start taking steps towards declaring independence within 18 months.
Radio shows and social media in Catalonia are alive with excited rumours that Madrid might send tanks rolling into Barcelona.
It is far more likely that Madrid will send in the lawyers. Breaking away from the Spanish Mothership goes against the country's constitution.
Certainly nothing will happen overnight.
Spain's governing Popular Party is far more concerned about the upcoming general election. Whoever wins is likely to negotiate more fiscal autonomy - at the very least - for Catalonia.
The region's grievances with the rest of Spain have as much to do with economics as politics. It contributes roughly one-fifth of Spanish national GDP in taxes but feels it gets far less back.
Certainly state investment in Catalonia has gone down in recent years.
Like the rest of Spain, Catalonia suffered hugely as a result of the euro crisis. Unemployment is still high in the region, and education and state healthcare are worsening.
But Catalans feel their hard-earned tax money is now being directed by Madrid to prop up worse-off Spanish regions.
Rather than sending a decisive message about regional independence, Catalonia's regional election is a clear signal of something else we are witnessing across Europe.
That is, the re-engagement of people in politics - through movements that are fighting the powers that be: a popular revolt against the status quo for, in theory, more transparency and people-oriented politics - both left- and right-wing.
These are the sentiments driving the rise in popularity for Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn and UKIP in the UK, for Marine Le Pen's National Front in France, the Five Star Movement in Italy, and Syriza in Greece.
Catalan independence is a popular movement. There were screens up even in tiny village squares across Catalonia on Sunday night as people breathlessly waited for votes to be counted. And the 77% voter turnout broke records for a regional election.
Those arguing for Catalan independence resent Madrid governing their lives, making decisions for them in what they see as a corrupt, high-handed and mistaken manner.
It is also interesting to note that the second-largest political group to emerge out of the Catalan elections was the anti-independence Citizens (Ciudadanos) party.
It is currently taking all of Spain by storm as a fresh centre-right movement promising greater transparency and an end to corruption, as well as citizen-consultations to keep its politics people-focused.
On a European level, the Catalan elections have made ripples rather than waves. There were no big screens up in the EU institutions' buildings for the Catalan vote.
The European Commission insists this is a domestic issue for Spain.
Unlike 15 years ago, following the break-up of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, when Basque separatism, Corsican independence, and Northern Italy breaking away from the rest of the country were the talk of Brussels, there is now less of a focus on regional independence movements, although Scotland often features during dinner-table debate.
Antonio Lopez-Isturiz, who is also Secretary General of the European People's Party, said that with crises in migration, the eurozone and Greece, Catalonia did not even figure.
But it will almost certainly re-emerge when Spaniards go to the polls before the end of the year.
A special service took place during which actor Benedict Cumberbatch, who's a distant relation of the king, read a poem.
The poem was specially written for the occasion by poet Carol Ann Duffy.
Richard III died at Bosworth Field in 1485, at the end of the War of the Roses.
His remains were found beneath a Leicester car park in 2012.
Across three days this week, more than 20,000 people queued for hours to view the coffin in Leicester Cathedral.
Today many people watched the service outside of the cathedral on a large screen.
Who was Richard III?
• Richard III was the last Yorkist King of England, this means he was the last member of the House of York family to be made king.
• Richard had one of the shortest reigns in British history - just over 2 years, and he was the last English king to die in battle.
• He was killed at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, which led to the end of the War of the Roses. This was fighting between the houses of Lancaster and York that lasted 30 years.
• Richard III has been painted as a villain. It's said he killed his two nephews so he could take the throne and William Shakespeare wrote a play about him but some historians say this was propaganda and might have been unfair.

Police were called to the town's Coulpark area at about 21:00 on Wednesday following reports of a disturbance.
A 39-year-old woman was taken to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness with serious injuries.
A 15-year-old boy and a 35-year-old man have been charged with disorder offences.
The B797 between Leadhills in South Lanarkshire and Wanlockhead in Dumfries and Galloway is shut for resurfacing.
The rail service is being run to help people from Wanlockhead to get to the doctor's surgery in Leadhills.
It is also being offered as a "commuter service" for some workers at the Museum of Lead Mining in Wanlockhead.
"This service will be unique in that it is usually the other way round, with bus replacements for trains," said David Winpenny of the Leadhills and Wanlockhead Railway.
The trains are usually run at weekends during the summer months on what bills itself as "Britain's highest narrow gauge adhesion railway" reaching 1,498ft (456m) above sea level.
They link Leadhills to a terminus at Glengonnar which is less than a mile from Wanlockhead.
The road is shut for resurfacing for up to a fortnight with a diversion in place via the A76, B740, B7078 and A702.
The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) is concerned over standards at Bridgewater Community Healthcare, which was rated as "requires improvement".
NHS bosses paused the decision to allow Bridgewater to take over services from Liverpool Community Health NHS Trust.
Bridgewater chief executive Colin Scales said the trust has "worked hard" to improve.
The RCN statement said it would be "wholly inappropriate" for Bridgewater "to be allowed to acquire further NHS contracts until and unless they have demonstrated that they have turned around their existing performance."
It said last summer's Care Quality Commission inspection showed the trust "is currently unable to deliver its existing services in a safe and effective way".
"Should the current transaction continue in its current form we believe it would represent a huge risk to community services in Liverpool, both in terms of quality and safety", RCN said.
A spokesman for NHS Improvement, which oversees standards at NHS trusts, said it was performing "additional evaluation of plans" during the temporary pause in order to "to assure ourselves that the proposals remain appropriate".
Mr Scales said this "will allow us the opportunity to demonstrate that progress to NHS Improvement whilst allowing us to answer the issues raised by the RCN".
The health watchdog gave Bridgewater, which is used by 1.5m people every year, a rating of "good" for being caring and responsive.
But inspectors said it requires improvement in providing safe, effective and well-led services after finding unsafe practice in the management of medication, end of life prescriptions and urgent care centres not following national guidance.

India is the land of inventors and industry, spices and spirituality - and 1.3 billion human genomes. But although the subcontinent contributes around 20% of the world's population, the DNA sequences of its people make up around 0.2% of global genetic databases.
In a similar vein, 81% of the world's genomic information has been collected from people with European ancestry. Still, this is an improvement from a staggering 96% back in 2009.
At the same time, there's a growing interest in developing new, more effective therapies tailored to an individual's genetic makeup - an idea known as precision or personalised medicine.
Missing out on mapping worldwide genetic diversity is a big mistake, according to Sumit Jamuar, chief executive of Global Gene Corp.
It's a company aiming to democratise healthcare by capturing anonymised genetic data from populations around the world and share it with the global community of academic and pharmaceutical industry researchers. It will start by focusing on populations in South Asia.
"Healthcare is broken," Mr Jamuar says. "We spend $1 trillion on drugs every year, of which 40% or more are deemed to be ineffective. That's $400bn wasted. What's more, the burden on healthcare systems is only going to increase.
"We realised that with the power and possibility of genomics and precision medicine, you can change the health outcome for any individual and allow them to have not just a longer but a better quality of life. What was lacking was genomic data to realise that promise, and that's what we've set out to achieve."
As deaths from infectious diseases fall, particularly in the developing world, there's a rise in chronic illnesses such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes - something the World Health Organization (WHO) has described as a "slow-motion catastrophe".
Treatments for these conditions are moving away from "one size fits all", becoming more precisely targeted to an individual's genetic makeup. Yet these drugs are currently designed and tested on the basis of predominantly "pale, stale and male" genomic information, and may not work for people with regional variations in their DNA.
Mr Jamuar believes the key to fixing this problem lies in gathering genetic data - as much of it as possible - along with harnessing the technical tools to analyse and share it.
And with the cost of genome sequencing falling rapidly, with quotes for the $1,000 genome dropping to just $100 within a year or two, it's definitely doable.
"If we take the example of GPS technology, it used to just provide longitude and latitude. Now we have Google maps and that has changed everything," he explains.
"It allows us not to focus on what goes on underneath the technology, but how we can use it to navigate our way round the world. What we want to do is create a high-fidelity genomic map of the world. And instead of looking for things like restaurants or traffic in a city, we can look at mutations or diseases in different areas."
Right now, Global Gene Corp is focusing its genomic firepower on India, although it has plans to expand into Africa and other parts of Asia. Other initiatives are also springing up to plug the global data gap.
For example, the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute'sAfrican Genome Variation Project is looking in depth at 2.5 million genetic variations in 100 people from more than 10 ethnic groups across sub-Saharan Africa.
Similarly, consumer genetics firm 23andMe recently launched a dedicated African Genetics Project. These populations are woefully under-represented in today's genomic databases, yet make up a significant and widely-dispersed fraction of the world's inhabitants, including many millions of African Americans.
At Stanford University in California, Prof Carlos Bustamante's Population Genomics and Global Health team is focusing on people from Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean. And in 2015, South Korea launched its own genomics project, initially aiming for 10,000 participants but planning to expand in the future.
But it's not as simple as just sequencing a load of people's genomes from different countries and sticking it all in a big database. At the relatively trivial end, genetic data gathered by different teams around the world may not be in the same format (akin to the old Mac versus PC incompatibility problem).
The Global Alliance for Genomics and Health - an international coalition formed to enable DNA data sharing - highlights the challenge of harmonising genomic data across countries that may have very different legal frameworks for gathering and managing data.
Then there's the question of storage: a single human genome contains roughly three gigabytes of data, and it quickly adds up. With plans in place to sequence tens or even hundreds of thousands of individuals around the world, keeping all this information safe and secure is a growing issue.
If these problems can be solved and researchers start filling databases with genetic information from under-represented countries, the potential impact is huge.
It costs around a billion dollars to develop a single new drug, but 95 out of every 100 promising candidates never make it to the end of the journey. Treatments that seem promising in identikit animals or cells in the lab often falter when faced with the genetically complex reality of human patients.
Understanding more about the impact of genetic variations on the function of potential drugs - or identifying population-specific targets - could help to cut the cost of failure in the pharmaceutical industry's development pathway. And purely from a business angle, more genomes mean more customers for novel treatments.
Most importantly, providing more tailored healthcare solutions for the diverse and growing global population has the potential to save lives on a grand scale.
"This is the future," says Mr Jamuar. "Just imagine if we can change the health outcome for every individual - that is a phenomenal promise."
It followed criticism from Euan Blockley, who had expected to top one of the UKIP regional lists for Holyrood in May.
Mr Blockley has alleged that the process was "stitched up" by the party leadership to favour their friends.
He told BBC Scotland that he has left the party as a result.
At 18 years old, Mr Blockley would have been one of the youngest candidates standing in the election.
He said: "I've ripped up my party's membership card. The party has "stitched up" the party lists - and it goes all the way David Coburn - the NEC etc - giving list places to their cronies.
It was meant to be a democratic process, when the lists would be chosen by the party members - that's what we were promised."
Although he believes he would have been placed second on a regional list, he said he is horrified by the way UKIP in Scotland carried out the process.
Mr Blockley added: ""It's a country club - all the placements are being handed out to friends - at the expense of good candidates."
UKIP has insisted the selection of candidates was carried out properly.
Scottish leader David Coburn said: "The final pool of candidates and their position on any list is agreed by a ballot of the party's National Executive Committee.
"The NEC is elected by the party membership and is therefore democratically accountable to the party membership."
Mitch Claydon caused havoc in the afternoon session on day two with a hostile three-wicket spell as Glamorgan slumped to 137-6.
But Wagg (83) and Meschede (78) launched a counter-attack, adding 160 for the seventh wicket.
Claydon completed his five-wicket haul late in the innings, before Kent reached 10-0 at the close.
There were also five victims for Kent wicketkeeper Adam Rouse, a late call-up.
The partnership between Wagg and Meschede was a record for Glamorgan's seventh wicket against Kent, beating the previous mark of 107 between Arthur Francis and Eifion Jones in 1982.
Meanwhile, David Lloyd provided a Championship rarity as he got off the mark with a hooked six off Claydon with the first ball he faced.
Glamorgan all-rounder Graham Wagg told BBC Wales Sport:
"We were under pressure with six down but they went off their strategy of line and length, and it did give us a few scoring options- we had to put the bad ball away, and Meschy (Craig Meschede) played really well.
"Disappointed not to get three figures, it was quite a loose shot, but at the start of the day we would have bitten their hand off to be in this position.
"There's plenty in that wicket, plenty of seam movement, and I think if we bowl as partnerships, there's ten wickets to be taken."
The actress plays real-life comedian and singer Fanny Brice in Funny Girl - the role that made Barbra Streisand famous in the 1960s.
The musical opened at London's Menier Chocolate Factory on Wednesday night to a standing ovation and rave reviews.
Smith said she she'd instantly said yes when she was approached about the role.
"It's a dream role," she said. "I'd have kicked myself for the rest of my life had I not done it."
Funny Girl, directed by Michael Mayer, has a sold-out run at the Menier Chocolate Factory until March before it transfers to the West End's Savoy Theatre for a 12-week season.
It has not been seen in the West End since Streisand played Fanny Brice in the original London production in 1966.
Smith, who has two Olivier awards for her stage roles in Legally Blonde and Flare Path, told the BBC she wouldn't turn down the opportunity to star in Funny Girl to Broadway.
"I'd be daft if I said no. I would love to, that's my dream. But would they take a Lincolnshire girl to do a New York-Brooklyn girl?
"There's so many American girls who could play this part, so I'm just grateful to be doing it here. Who knows how long this journey will last, but I will love every second of it."
She admitted she'd had "a few wobbles" about taking on a role so closely associated with Streisand, whose role in the 1968 film adaptation won her an Oscar.
"There is only one Barbra Streisand, so the key to it is putting your own stamp on it and to remember that the story is about Fanny Brice.
"It's her biography - and not Barbra Streisand's - which people get confused about."
Smith, who was made an OBE this year, said the role of Fanny Brice resonated with her own experience.
"Sometimes in your life a role comes along at a specific time when you need it and feel ready for it and this is it for me. I can pour all my emotion into it."
Funny Girl is at the Menier Chocolate Factory to 5 March and then at the Savoy Theatre 9 April - 2 July 2016.
The 32-year-old Sussex player, who has won 79 Test caps, is likely to have surgery on his Achilles.
He emphasised that he is not retiring but accepted that he might not get his England place back.
"It is a huge decision and not one I've taken lightly, but I'm not doing justice to myself and more importantly the team," he said.
If I don't play again, I'll be disappointed because there are a few things that I wanted to achieve and thought I would
"I tore my quad before the first Test [against India] and my right hand has been beaten to a pulp, but the main issue is the Achilles.
"Now we have the time, I want to be proactive about how we deal with it so I imagine that I'll have an operation.
"I've always said as long as I can do my job I will manage the pain and get on with it, but it has now got to the point where I can't do my job to the level I expect of myself."
Prior, who became the first debutant England wicketkeeper to hit a century in 2007, added: "I've made my decision for the good of the team and whoever comes in I genuinely wish them the best of luck.
"If I don't play again, I'll be disappointed because there are a few things that I wanted to achieve and thought I would.
"But I can also look back and know I did some pretty good things."
After England lost the second Test to India at Lord's on Monday, captain Alastair Cook was asked about Prior's future.
"It is all up to Matt," said Cook. "If he is up for carrying on playing for England - and he has been a fabulous player for England - then he has a place because I think he is best wicketkeeper-batter in country.
"He has to earn the right to play for England like everyone else. He'll be hurting. But he is a fighter and you want people like that in your team."
Lancashire's Jos Buttler is likely to replace Prior in the third Test, which starts at Hampshire's Ageas Bowl on Sunday.
Mr Justice Mostyn said some G4S employees at Brook House, near Gatwick Airport, had "behaved disgracefully".
His criticism came in a written ruling after a failed asylum seeker took legal action against the home secretary.
G4S said it had suspended two members of staff "with immediate effect".
Details of the case emerged following a High Court judicial review hearing in London nearly two weeks ago.
Mr Justice Mostyn said the anonymous asylum seeker was taken from his room at Brook House in October 2010 and flown out of the country.
His room was then cleared and, as is standard procedure, every item removed was put in a bag and recorded on a certificate.
The judge said the certificate was prepared and signed by a member of staff.
He said it clearly showed that "various paperwork" was collected.
"The certificate was later corruptly redacted in order to eradicate the reference to 'various paperwork'," the judge said.
Three G4S staff members - Marilyn Bennett, Matthew Newman and Tamara Burns - are named in the judgment. Marilyn Bennett is no longer employed by the firm.
In early November 2011, the three made identical witness statements on behalf of the Secretary of State.
Mr Newman and Ms Burns gave oral evidence on oath and were cross-examined.
In their witness statements, they each said: "If any documentation was removed from the claimant's room it would have been clearly referred to on the attached certificate.
"Having looked at the room clearance certificate I am confident that no documentation would have been removed from the claimant's room."
Mr Justice Mostyn said: "The conduct of the Secretary of State's agents in falsifying the room clearance certificate is corrupt and truly shocking.
"When agents of the state falsify documents it undermines, if not fatally, then certainly very seriously, the trust of the people in the operation of the rule of law.
"It makes no difference if, as here, the agents are private contractors to whom the Secretary of State has outsourced her powers.
"In this case I am satisfied that there is prima facie evidence of the offence of forgery and I direct that a copy of this judgment be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions along with the relevant documents.
"Further, to make a false witness statement is a contempt of court. Proceedings for such contempt are a matter for the Attorney General, and I direct that this judgment and the relevant papers be sent to him also."
Mr Justice Mostyn dismissed the asylum seeker's claim for damages and said he lacked credibility.
In a statement, the Home Office said: "While we are pleased that the court has ruled in our favour, we are concerned with the reports of staff misconduct.
"Although our staff were not directly involved we expect our contractors to maintain the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.
"Any allegations of wrongdoing must be thoroughly investigated and dealt with accordingly."
A G4S spokesman said: "The allegations made in respect of the conduct of our employees are extremely serious, and we have launched an immediate internal investigation.
"Due to the nature of these allegations, we have suspended the two personnel concerned with immediate effect, pending the outcome of the investigation.
"We will of course cooperate fully with any inquiries the appropriate authorities may pursue in connection with this case." | A Kenyan MP has asked women to withhold sex from their husbands until they register as voters for the 8 August elections.

New MRI, CT and mammography scanners will replace existing machines in hospitals in each of Wales' seven health board areas.
Health Secretary Vaughan Gething said it showed the Welsh Government was "putting our money where our mouth is".
The machines should be in place by the end of March 2017.
Newport's Royal Gwent Hospital got a new MRI scanner 12 months ago and it is similar to the machines which will be rolled out to other hospitals.
MRI manager John Furnish said: "This machine has greater capabilities - it can scan giving a higher signal level in the images, which makes them much better to look at, better resolution and there are certain areas where we can do techniques we could not do before."
Alison Lee, radiology directorate manager at the Aneurin Bevan Health Board, added: "I think we're up against a rock and a hard place at the moment with the demand in patient scans going up and this development ensures that patients receive a scan of the best diagnostic quality that we can give."
On top of Thursday's announcement, a further £15m has been allocated for diagnostic equipment in the 2017-18 draft budget agreement.

It was rolled out in part of the city in 2014 while the African National Congress (ANC) was still in power, to encourage people to cycle.
Opposition parties had criticised the ANC, saying the money should to used to provide services for poor people.
Mayor Herman Mashaba says the project would only be looked at once all the city's roads had been tarred.
Africa Live: More on this and other stories
He is from the Democratic Alliance which won control of the city in August elections, with the support of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).
The EFF had marched to former mayor Parks Tau's office, unhappy that the city had set aside 70 million rand ($4.9m; £3.7m) for cycle lanes in rich areas of the city while residents in Alexandra township still lived in squalid conditions.
Analysis: Pumza Fihlani, Johannesburg
The news of the cycle lanes received a mixed reaction when it was announced in 2014.
While some felt it was a vanity project for the city's growing elite, others welcomed the vision of encouraging more residents to get out of their cars and cycle instead.
However, the move to halt the project has largely been welcomed.
The decision seems to show the influence of firebrand Julius Malema, whose EFF was merciless in its criticism of the lanes during its election campaign.
The EFF joined forces with the DA, which now runs Johannesburg.
The debate about infrastructure v the needs of the poor is a longstanding one here and it is a difficult balancing act.
Johannesburg fancies itself a world class city and meeting that ambition comes with a hefty price. But its managers also have to wrestle with the reality that many residents are still without basic services such as housing, water or proper sanitation, or proper roads.
While it would take a lot more than would have been spent on the lanes to relieve poverty in the city, this gesture may help to send the message that those who live on the fringes of Johannesburg's skyscrapers have not been forgotten.

Looking around for his fellow villagers, he passes rows of vividly embroidered traditional dresses, pineapples with red ribbons tied round their middles in bows, and thousands of sombreros like his own.
This is the Guelaguetza, a folk festival in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca that attracts thousands of visitors from across Mexico and abroad.
It is also home to some of the strangest dances on the planet.
Indigenous dancers descend on Oaxaca for the second half of July from the hill villages that surround the colonial city.
In the Turkey Dance, men dressed up in large baskets pretend to be fighting turkeys, squawking and pushing each other over as the real thing calmly looks on.
The animal theme continues as people pretend to be angry bulls, charging at and headbutting their dance partners who flip bandannas provocatively over their heads.
At the end of each troupe's performance, the dancers throw gifts into the crowd, usually local sweets, herbs and basketwork.
One group, though, throws large mangoes and the scrabbling crowds race to protect their children's heads.
"Why are they throwing all the presents over there?" asks Gloria Castaneda, a tiny Zapotec woman with long grey braids.
"Throw them here, to us!" she yells, elbowing her neighbours out of the way to get to the front.
The dances, costumes, foods and high-pitched conversations of these Zapotec and Mixtec peoples seem things of an ancient past - and indeed, these peoples existed alongside the better-known Aztecs and Mayans.
This celebration of Oaxaca culture is the annual display of a civilisation that is undergoing a revival, especially among the young.
"The resurgence has to do with 'Indianness' now being considered stylish," says anthropologist Howard Campbell, an expert on Zapotec culture at the University of Texas at El Paso.
"Young people are interested in the language and culture because people all over the world now consider 'Indianness' cool, exotic, primordial and romantic."
On the way to collect orange mushrooms for the Cuajimoloyas mushroom festival, Sonia, an older Zapotec woman explains to her young friend, Isabel, the medicinal properties of hundreds of the plants they pass.
"This tree is good for sensitive teeth," she says, her arm round its trunk. "Pick the bark off, crush it with some water and rinse your mouth with it every day for three days."
"In many Zapotec communities, there is a generational gap," says Carlos Solle, a scholar of Mexican indigenous linguistics.
"The old people and the young people speak Zapotec, but those in the middle only speak Spanish."
A common explanation for this is that the middle-aged have spent long periods in the US, often working illegally.
Despite the great distance there is a regular trickle of Zapotecs into the US, with the main destination being Los Angeles.
Almost all the villagers who live in the forested mountains of Oaxaca, the Sierra Norte, have relatives there.
"I have hardly ever left the forest except to go to Los Angeles," says one man, who asked to be known only as Victor.
"But I didn't have any papers, so eventually I had to come back. My kids speak Zapotec, but I don't - they learned it off their grandparents while I was away."
However, Lynn Stephen of the University of Oregon, who has studied the Zapotecs of the Teotitlan del Valle region for 27 years, does not think there is a generation gap.
"There is certainly more interest now and support for speaking Zapotec," adding that the revival of the Zapatec language is happening in places where it had been thought lost.
"What has changed greatly is that there is much more of a sense of pride in speaking Zapotec and people seeing it as an asset.
"The Zapatista movement of the 1990s opened an important political space in Mexico for other indigenous movements and for many communities to regain pride in being indigenous," she says.
Some of the Zapotecs, though, were proud of their heritage and practising autonomy long before the Zapatista uprising in the neighbouring state of Chiapas in 1994.
Juchitan, a city known for its dominant women, has a tradition of indigenous intellectualism and in 1981 elected the Coalition of Workers, Peasants and Students to its city government.
The coalition set up a Zapotec radio station and literacy campaign before being thrown out of office by Mexico's then ruling party, the PRI, two years later.
Nevertheless they continued to promote all things Zapotec, and Juchitan Zapotecs have been able to retain much of their culture.
"Even the rich and powerful in that town are Indian and proud of it and speak the Zapotec language," says Professor Campbell.
Back at the Guelaguetza, the largely indigenous audience is shrieking with laughter at the latest dance troupe, who shrilly insult their partners' dancing ability in between dances.
"Strong stuff," says Mrs Castaneda, pouring her third cup of locally brewed liquor out of a petrol can.
"This is one of my favourite things about the Guelaguetza."
"We do have to be careful with giving these girls sympathy," the expert in radicalisation tells Newsbeat.
"We don't want to let another 15-year-old girl think she won't get into trouble if she goes."
So far in 2015, Islamic State fighters have ramped up an already aggressive propaganda drive.
One of their key aims is the recruitment of women from Europe and the UK. This is where social media is playing a new, sinister role.
"The latest estimate is around 550 Western women and I would agree with that figure.
"I currently monitor 90 because they blog or tweet prolifically," Melanie explains.
"They are fairly well informed about Islamic State. They are victims in that it is a pretty ruthless propaganda drive, but it is their choice," says Melanie.
"These girls are totally on board ideologically. They are not blind to the atrocities being committed.
"But they are misinformed about the danger.
"No one really knows what the conditions are like on the ground.
"Airstrikes are a massive deal and they won't really have any access to healthcare. They can't leave the house without an escort.
"Because of the shifting conflict they will constantly be on the move."
Many of the Twitter accounts Melanie Smith monitors share images of a happy and idyllic lifestyle.
"Recently we've seen women who have broken out... saying it is cold, there is no electricity. They are shrouding their concerns in their blogs," says Melanie.
"One of them tweeted about seeing a body which had frozen to death in the street. But they manipulated it to criticise the person.
"It's a warped way of saying things aren't great here.
"It has definitely been difficult for IS to support their own forces."
"The trigger for [running away] is liaising with people who are actually there," Melanie tells Newsbeat.
Many Westerners who have recently joined IS "already know someone there".
She adds: "The Bethnal Green girls already had a friend out there. And the girls from Manchester had a brother out there.
Others have been able to get "constant advice from people out there online".
Some have posted practical tips on booking flights, evading detection at the airport and crossing the border into Syria from Turkey.
"Tareena Shakil is from Birmingham. She went over with her toddler and was married off to a jihadi fighter.
"She realised she had made a mistake and broke into an official building where her passport was being kept."
Melanie says that when Tareena returned she said it had been an "impulse decision".
She was arrested immediately and her passport was revoked.
"Things are not what they seem. It is a very dangerous place to be, especially with children."
Melanie Smith is from the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation at King's College London.

The notice, outside a house in Portugal Place, bears transcriptions in both classical languages stating cycles will be "removed or destroyed" if parked.
But it drew criticism after a picture was posted online, with some pointing out mistakes in the Greek message.
Others said the presence of a bike suggested the sign "hadn't worked".
It is not known how long the warning, behind a building previously used by the Greek Orthodox Church, has been in place.
Classicist Prof Mary Beard, from Newnham College, said the Latin part of the sign translates as "two wheels [cycles] left/abandoned here will be removed".
Selwyn College classics lecturer Dr Rupert Thompson said: "It's trying to say, 'bicycles left here will be destroyed'."
He agreed there were inaccuracies in the Greek warning.
"It's definitely trying to be ancient Greek but it's not quite.
He said both lines of the Greek had used the wrong letters, while one word carries the opposite meaning to that apparently intended.
"The second word, 'ΛΗΦΘΕΝΤΕΣ', actually means 'taken' not 'left'," he said.
"I don't know what to make of it really, but it's very amusing and it's absolutely great to see this in the city."
Both Prof Beard and Dr Thompson, however, agreed the Latin and Greek interpretation of the word "bicycle" was correct.
"Two wheels" was, they said, the best way to describe a bicycle, which was not invented until the early 19th Century.
Many commenting on Twitter called the sign "elitist", while one wrote: "I feel tempted to add some Anglo-Saxon graffiti."
Neither IS nor its Egyptian affiliate, which calls itself Sinai Province, is thought to possess missiles capable of hitting an airliner at cruising altitude, and neither has a track record of aviation attacks.
But five days on from the crash, which killed all 224 people on board shortly after take-off from the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, David Cameron has said it is "more likely than not a terrorist bomb" brought down the plane, and the UK has grounded flights from the resort.
British military officials are now on their way to Egypt and security at Sharm el-Sheikh airport is under intense scrutiny. Julian Bray, an aviation security analyst, told the BBC it is "highly probable" that even a relatively unsophisticated terror group could get a bomb on to a jet leaving the resort.
"It is unlikely a passenger would be able to carry it on board the aircraft, but it is quite likely it could have been taken into somewhere like the cargo shed and then into a container in the plane," he said.
"All passenger aircraft nowadays carry cargo as well, which often comes as a complete sealed unit, and the concern is that at airports like Sharm security is lax around cargo.
"A lot of the airports in the Far East and Middle East are running on a shoestring and they have to turn round aircraft and cargo as fast as possible.
"That leads to skimping on security procedures."
Sinai plane crash: Four theories
Sinai Province: Egypt's most dangerous group
Egypt has criticised suggestions that a bomb was involved in the crash. Civil Aviation Minister Hossam Kamal said the country's airports all comply with international security standards.
Investigators are yet to reveal any information from the aircraft's black box recorders and there is no concrete evidence of a bomb attack.
US media reported on Tuesday that a military satellite detected a "heat flash" over Sinai at the time of the crash, suggesting an explosion, but officials said they have not ruled out a technical malfunction.
On Wednesday, Sinai Province, which first emerged as jihadist group Ansar Beit al-Maqdis - or Champions of Jerusalem - in 2011, reiterated its claim of responsibility in an audio recording circulated on social media, but refused to give any details about the method used.
"We brought it down by God's help, but we are under no obligation to reveal the mechanism we used," the statement said. "So search the wreckage of the plane, and find your black box and analyse it."
The data retrieved from the black boxes may reveal whether a bomb was involved. If Sinai Province's claim is corroborated, it will be the first IS attack against a passenger aircraft - a grisly milestone for the terror organisation.
Spectacular attacks against civilian targets - especially planes - have so far been the preserve of IS's much older rival, al-Qaeda, which was behind 9/11.
AQAP, al-Qaeda's branch in Yemen, claimed responsibility for two bombs discovered unexploded on cargo planes in 2010 - one in London and one in Dubai. The 300-400g devices - large enough to bring down a plane - were hidden in printer cartridges aboard cargo flights from Yemen.
Both packages were destined for Chicago and timed using mobile phones to detonate over the US mainland.
And in 2010, the CIA said it had foiled a plot by AQAP to smuggle a technically advanced bomb on board an airliner bound for the United States.
By contrast, IS has so far focused on taking land and hostages, and inspiring lone wolf attacks in other parts of the world rather than planning its own sophisticated operations.
Many analysts have been waiting for a high-profile terror attack by IS, according to Dr HA Hellyer, a Middle East expert with the Royal United Services Institute. But the scale of the Metrojet attack would nonetheless be a surprise, he said.
"I don't think anybody expected an attack on a plane, maybe on a hotel or a kidnapping ... but nobody expected something this large," he said.
"I don't think it will surprise anyone such a radical and extremist group has targeted civilians, but certainly the nature of this attack is very dramatic."
If the attack is confirmed it would be a significant propaganda coup for IS, according to Dr Hellyer. "It would mean that they've taken out a huge number of civilians at once, and struck a blow against two of their enemies at once, Russia and Egypt."
And it will remain a success of sorts for IS even if investigators rule that the plane was brought down by a technical fault, he said.
"If it turns out that they didn't do it, that is still a victory in a sense. We are having this conversation now. They have managed to dominate the discussion, and that in itself is a communications victory."
He starred in plays, TV series and films.
One of his most popular roles was as the father in the 2013 comedy The Noble Family, in which he makes his three spoiled children believe he has cut them off from the family fortune so they are forced to get a job.
He had also starred for two decades in the play Senora Presidenta.
In Senora Presidenta (Et ta Soeur, in the French original) he played not one, but two female roles, and often added political quips to the script.
After Vega was diagnosed in 2010 with myelodysplastic syndrome, a form of bone marrow cancer, he temporarily retired from acting to get treatment.
His daughter Marimar announced last week that he would not return to acting after his health had deteriorated.
Vega, who was born in Mexico City in 1946, became an actor after studying philosophy.
His two daughters, Marimar and Zuria, also chose acting as their careers.
He died in Mexico City with his daughters, son Gonzalo and wife Andrea at his side.
Mexicans expressed their condolences to the family under the hashtag #GonzaloVega, where many also fondly recalled his most popular roles.
A funding package for the International Convention Centre Wales has been agreed by the hotel, the Welsh Government and NatWest.
The venue, projected to open in June 2019, will accommodate up to 5,000 delegates in a 1,500-seater auditorium and separate exhibition hall.
It would be the largest centre of its kind in Wales and south west England.
The Celtic Manor hosted world leaders at the 2014 Wales Summit of NATO while its adjoining golf course staged golf's 2010 Ryder Cup.
Excavation work has already begun on land next to the hotel and existing convention centre, overlooking the Coldra M4 junction 24 roundabout.
A 2,500 sq m plaza will be constructed as a welcome and additional exhibition area and 700 parking spaces will be built underneath the centre.
A joint venture company will construct and manage the centre as an equal partnership between the Celtic Manor and the Welsh Government.
Celtic Manor Resort chair Sir Terry Matthews said: "This International Convention Centre has been many years in the planning and I am delighted that we are now in a position to build and deliver this facility that will be such an asset to Wales.
"In the past, we've been forced to turn away hundreds of millions of pounds of business because we did not have the capacity to hold the largest conferences. Not any longer."
Economy and Infrastructure Secretary Ken Skates AM added: "This will be a major asset for Wales, enabling us to compete with any venue in the UK and indeed Europe to attract and host key events that make a huge contribution to the economy."
Danny Hall, 25, and Josh Robinson, 22, both from Kent, came off Austria's highest mountain pass, Grossglockner High Alpine Road, on Friday morning.
Mr Robinson's mother, Jennifer, said it felt like she had "lost two sons".
Mr Hall's mother, Michelle, said the pair were "two lovely lads" who shared "a special bond".
Mr Robinson's father, Marcus, said Josh was "kind, gentle, loving" and dreamt of becoming a Top Gear presenter.
"That was a little dream he had. They made videos and practised. The boys together were very amusing. I think they would have made fantastic presenters," he said.
"He really was a good person, such a lovely person. If I could honestly be half the man he was in his short life then I'd be happy."
Mrs Robinson said: "Josh meant more than the world to me."
Mr Hall was "like a son", she added. "They were like brothers. It feels like I have lost two sons."
The pair had been taking part in the Great European Rally, an eight-day drive through seven countries, beginning in Belgium and finishing in Hungary.
Police said the driver lost control of the pair's Seat Leon while driving about 8,000ft (2,400m) above sea level. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene.
Mr Hall's mother, Michelle, said her son was a "bubbly character" who "lived life to the max".
She said: "Everywhere he went he would put a smile on anyone's face."
Mr Hall's parents said he had been excited about taking part in the Great European Rally and had repeatedly told friends and family he was "loving life".
In the last text he sent to his mother he said the rally had been one of the best experiences of his life and one he would "treasure forever", Mrs Hall said.
Of the friendship of the two young men, Mr Hall's father, Brian, said: "They just had the same sense of humour and they loved cars. If you watch their videos they rubbed off on each other all the time."
Mrs Hall added that the pair had known what they were doing and had not been taking part in a race, as police in Salzburg had at first suggested.
Officers have since said the pair were not racing before the crash and are treating it as an accident.
"They were two sensible lads, two lovely lads that had a special bond together and we want to get them home together," she added.
The pair had filmed updates and spoken of the dangers of the trip on social media before they died.
Mr Robinson's father said they had known about the some of the roads on the trip being "notorious for accidents".
He added: "As a father I thought don't be silly, be careful. But he was a young man with his own business about to purchase his own house.
"His age was more like 25-26 than 22. He was very mature for his age."
Mr Robinson, a civil engineer, had a love of cars and extreme sports and was a self-taught mechanic, his father said.
He said he could have imagined his son taking part in further car rallies if he had not been killed.
Mr Robinson's father said the pair had been wearing their seat belts at the time of the accident.
Since the pair were killed, there has been an outpouring of tributes on both of their Facebook pages.
Mrs Hall said it was "touching" so many people cared about the two men.
Now both families are in the process of trying to bring the bodies of the two men home.
"We want them home as soon as. If we can speed things up in any way shape or form, the process, we will do it because we want our baby back," Mrs Hall added.
Ian Paterson, of Altrincham, has denied 20 counts of wounding with intent against nine women and one man.
Judith Conduit said a blood clot was found during the procedure in 2001 and another surgeon did not have the correct implements to remove it.
She went to a hospital 94 times in 12 months as part of her recovery, Nottingham Crown Court heard.

Mr Paterson, of Castle Mill Lane, Ashley, Altrincham, Greater Manchester, was employed by Heart of England NHS Trust and also practised at privately-owned Spire Healthcare hospitals.
He is alleged to have told Mrs Conduit she had Dercum's disease, a condition he had only seen twice before in his career.
She said: "He [Mr Paterson] said he could not keep removing the lumps because he was removing too much breast tissue and the only way forward would be to have a bilateral mastectomy."
Mrs Conduit said she was rushed to another hospital after the blood clot was discovered near to her heart during the procedure in July 2001.
The patient, then aged 47, had seen Mr Paterson in May and September 2000 when he removed lumps from her right and left breasts, which turned out to be benign fatty tissue, the court heard.
Breast surgery expert Prof Philip Drew, a senior lecturer in general surgery at the University of Hull, revisited her case.
While a number of operations carried out by Mr Paterson would appear reasonable to most surgeons, Prof Drew said, he thought the mastectomy was not.
He stated Mrs Conduit's condition was "mislabelled" as Dercum's.
The trial continues.
Celeste Smith, 19, from Saltash in Cornwall, was spotted on Plymouth Hoe on Monday afternoon after being missing since last Tuesday, police confirmed.
People from Saltash organised a search of the area, handing out flyers to passers by.
Devon and Cornwall Police treated the teenager's disappearance as a "high priority".

The GMB hailed a decision by the Court of Appeal to reject an attempt by the company to overturn a previous ruling allowing it to negotiate for workers.
The court confirmed the GMB's right to ballot staff for union recognition.
Lidl said it was disappointed but would "respect the decision and the ballot process will receive our full support".
Lorraine Gaskell, regional organiser for the GMB, said: "Despite Lidl's repeated attempts at union-busting, the courts have today upheld a massive victory for workers' rights.
"The company has shown a shocking lack of respect for their own staff's wishes and wasted shareholders' money with this frivolous appeal.
"This will pave the way for workers at Bridgend to negotiate their pay and conditions via their democratically selected union reps."
A Lidl spokesman said: "We believe that our employees are fairly represented within the business, without having to engage with unions and creating a fragmented workforce.
"The proposed bargaining unit does not reflect the Lidl ethos of one company, one team.
"Our commitment to fairness across our entire workforce forms a central part of our core values. Our preference is to have open and direct lines of communication with our employees."
The Grade II public convenience, at the top of Whiteladies Road, in Clifton, is still in use and was built by Glasgow-based W.MacFarlane in the 1880s.
English Heritage said these "often humble structures" were "important to the streetscene of our cities".
Bristol City Council, which owns the cast-iron urinal, said it "remained very well used and appreciated".
An English Heritage spokesman said: "Historic elements of the public realm, including street furniture and public facilities, are particularly vulnerable to damage, alteration and removal and where they survive well, they will in some cases be given serious consideration for designation."
He said the urinal was a "relatively rare surviving example of a once common type of building" and represented the "civic aspirations of the authorities in the Bristol suburbs in the late Victorian period".
"In times of austerity, facilities and structures such as this set of urinals are under increasing threat, and where there are found to be deserving of protection English Heritage will recommend to the Secretary of State that they be added to the National Heritage List for England," he said.
Maggie Shapland, from the Clifton and Hotwells Improvement Society said: "We are really glad it makes it harder to destroy our heritage by raising awareness and we are highly delighted to keep part of our historic streetscape."
Two other similar structures were listed in Bristol in 1977 on Horfield Common and Mina Road Park.
The Oscar-winning director, who is currently working on a film in Krakow, served 42 days for unlawful sex with a 13-year-old before fleeing the country.
Polish prosecutors have confirmed they will question the 81-year-old, who has both Polish and French passports.
Polanski said he had "confidence in Poland's justice system".
"I will submit myself to the procedure and we will see," he told a TV news channel, "I hope everything will be alright".
Poland generally does not allow extradition of its citizens, but has an extradition agreement with the US who filed a request at the beginning of January.
Polanski was arrested in 2009 by Swiss authorities after travelling to Zurich to attend a film festival, but avoided extradition.
His movements are restricted by a warrant in effect in 188 countries, but he has avoided extradition by travelling between France, Poland and Switzerland.
The director is working on a new film, An Officer and A Spy, about a 19th Century French scandal dubbed "the Dreyfus affair".
He won an Oscar in 2003 for directing The Pianist, a harrowing story set in Nazi-occupied Warsaw that mirrored his own childhood experiences.
Both sides have one win from two matches so far, the Scots following up an opening day win over Ireland with defeat to France in Paris.
"I've learned in the last couple of years that our Six Nations can make or break with only one game," said the Harlequins wing.
"It's important we get a result here."
Wales opened their campaign with a resounding win over Italy in Rome, but are also now in need of a win to keep their title challenge alive having lost to England in Cardiff last time out.
Scotland have not beaten the Welsh since 2007 but Visser insists that fact is not weighing heavily on the squad.
"The stats don't lie. Wales are a good team," he said.
"We've had some narrow defeats against them in recent years. I remember losing here by three points a couple of years back.
"Going to the Millennium Stadium is hard but it's obviously a different game at Murrayfield. I remember sitting in a press conference before we played France last year and it was a similar story and we beat them.
"Statistically it (the third game) is always a key game. If we get a win then we are in a good position going forward and a position we want to be in."
Visser will start on the wing in place of the injured Sean Maitland and is looking forward to linking up with in-form full-back Stuart Hogg, who has scored three tries in two matches in the tournament so far.
"I remember when I first joined Scotland back in 2012," Visser recalled.
"He was just a young boy and seeing what he's grown into in the last couple of years has been brilliant. It's only going to benefit the players around him, especially the wingers when we link up with him.
"There's some stiff competition at full-back worldwide but especially in attack he's one of the best out there."
Wales' record points-scorer Neil Jenkins echoed Visser's view that this is a match neither side can afford to lose if they wish to retain any hope of competing for the title.
"If you win one out your first two then the third game is always massive," said Jenkins, now the Wales kicking coach.
"It can get you back in the mix for the championship. For both sides this is huge and both need to win to give ourselves a chance of staying in the championship and winning it.
"Scotland have been very good. They had an outstanding win against Ireland and were very close in Paris a week later to coming away with a victory. Probably looking back they will be disappointed they didn't win that game. We know it's going to be a tough game, it always is up here."
Inflation in the eurozone was 0.2%, unchanged from July and below analysts' forecasts of a slight increase.
The ECB has introduced a number of stimulus measures, but the inflation rate still remains some way off the bank's target of just below 2%.
Separate data showed the unemployment rate remained at 10.1% in July.
Analysts had been predicting a slight fall in the jobless rate.
Eurozone inflation remained unchanged as prices of food, services, and industrial goods rose by less than in July, while the drop in energy prices was not as sharp.
In March this year, the ECB stepped up its attempts to stimulate the eurozone's economy, cutting its main interest rate from 0.05% to 0% and its bank deposit rate from minus 0.3% to minus 0.4%.
The ECB has stepped up its programme of quantitative easing, and is now buying €80bn worth of bonds a month.
The bank's rate-setting Governing Council is due to meet next week, although analysts are not sure whether it will announce new policy measures at the meeting.
"It looks to be a very tight call as to whether or not the ECB acts on 8 September or decides to maintain a 'wait and see' stance as to how the Eurozone economy is performing - we marginally lean towards the 'wait and see' view," said Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist at IHS Global Insight.
However, Stephen Brow of Capital Economics said: "There is a strong case for the ECB to announce further policy easing. This could come as soon as the bank's meeting next week."
HM Inspectorate of Probation said higher-risk individuals were "managed well" but the picture was "more troubling" for those of medium and lower risk.
"Too many people get too little meaningful attention from probation staff", the report said.
The Wales Probation Trust has been asked to comment.
It was the first such inspection in Wales since the UK government introduced its Transforming Rehabilitation Programme.
It looked at the quality of probation work carried out with criminals by two organisations under the umbrella of the trust - National Probation Services Wales (NPS) and the Community Rehabilitation Company (CRC).
While the NPS was working with higher risk individuals more effectively, the CRC's work with medium and lower-risk offenders was called into question.
"Overall, the work of the CRC in Gwent was troubling," the report said.
The CRC, which is run by Working Links, had an "impressive" community hub but its ways of working were "still in a state of flux", with staff morale "low", it added.
Inspectors found one in four people identified as low-risk had only one telephone call every six weeks as supervision.
The report said one in three of these should also have contact with unpaid work supervisors or other intervention staff if those arrangements were to work as intended.
"Inspectors concluded that this means too many people get too little meaningful attention from probation staff," the report said.
"Without meaningful contact, individuals are unlikely to develop the will to change their attitudes and behaviour."
Chief Inspector of Probation, Dame Glenys Stacey, added: "Assessing the risk that someone might pose is not an exact science and risks change over time.
"But, in our view, someone's circumstances can't be kept under proper review through a telephone call every six weeks.
"Some other aspects of the CRC's work are not operating as they should and it is taking a long time for things to bed down.
"Staff morale is low and sickness absence high, although we did find committed responsible officers working hard to support people and to help them to change."
She said the CRC was "performing relatively well", but this was sometimes "at a cost to other work that should be done".
Dame Glenys called on NPS Wales to ensure the quality of its work did not vary from place to place.
The report made a series of recommendations, including calls for improved access to rehabilitation and for the CRC to introduce measures to monitor how it was working and to keep its workload and staff numbers under review.
The court rejected a petition by bar owners to overturn the ban, which restricts liquor sales and consumption to bars in five-star hotels.
The southern state wants to shut bars in a move towards total prohibition within 10 years.
Kerala has India's highest per capita alcohol consumption at more than eight litres per person yearly.
The national annual average for alcohol consumption is estimated to be about 5.7 litres per person.
The government wants to make the southern state free from alcohol in the next 10 years to "protect youth from destroying their lives".
The order means that nearly 700 bars will be gradually shut in the state, which is popular among both domestic and foreign travellers.
Bar owners argued in the court that the ban would severely hit the state's income from tourism and also make many people jobless.
But the state said its priority was to protect the health of the people.
Doctors and activists have also highlighted rising alcohol abuse, blaming it for many road accidents and even marital breakdown. They say hospitals and rehabilitation centres in Kerala are packed with patients suffering from alcohol-related diseases.
The authorities, however, have made some concessions to impose the ban gradually.
Shops will continue to sell alcohol and bars have also been allowed to keep serving weaker alcoholic drinks such as wine and beer.
The company said pre-tax profit climbed by more than 15% in 2016 to £7.8m, while sales were 6.3% up at £179.8m.
There was a strong performance from its packaging distribution business, which increased sales by 9% to £155.9m.
Macfarlane said organic sales growth was "challenging" in the first six months of the year, but strengthened in the second half to 3%.
Its performance was boosted by contributions from a series of acquisitions last year, including Nelsons for Cartons and Packaging, Colton Packaging Teesside and the packaging business of Edward McNeil.
Sales in Macfarlane's manufacturing operations were down by 9%, at £23.9m, which the company largely attributed to "management actions to rebalance the mix of products in our labels business".
As a consequence of its acquisitions, the group's net bank borrowing at year-end stood at £15.3m, up from £11.6m the previous year.
Chairman Graeme Bissett said: "We will continue to focus on opportunities in sectors with strong growth prospects (including internet retail, third party logistics and national accounts) and to deliver high standards of service to all customers across a wide range of sectors.
"We will also maintain our programme of acquiring good quality businesses to augment organic growth.
"This is a strategy based on taking positive action, which has served all stakeholders in our business well in recent years and we remain confident that it will continue to do so."
Imperial College London said greys were first imported in the 1890s and it was thought they advanced rapidly as they could adapt well to new habitats.
But it is now thought humans assisted the expansion, with the 11th Duke of Bedford, Herbrand Russell, blamed with dispersing greys from Woburn Park.
"Their spread is far more our fault," said Dr Lisa Signorile at the college.
Dr Signorile compiled a DNA database of nearly 1,500 grey squirrels in the UK and Italy during her PhD studies at Imperial College London and the Zoological Society of London.
Her research was published in journals Biological Conservation and Diversity and Distributions.
Rumours a "super squirrel" had developed over the decades that could adapt better and spread further across Britain were quashed in her findings.
But she concluded the only way greys could have travelled so far was by human intervention.
Dr Signorile said "one of the worst offenders" at spreading them was Herbrand Russell.
He was involved in many successful animal conservation projects at Woburn Park in Bedfordshire, but he released and gifted many greys around the UK.
He also released populations in Regent's Park, likely creating London's epidemic of greys, Dr Signorile said.
"It was a time when we didn't know invasive species could cause so much damage," she said.

The study also suggested new ways needed to be found to tackle the spread of grey squirrels in places where they are not yet established, including areas of Scotland, as they carry diseases that only kill red squirrels.
"The public needs to be aware of the risk of even accidentally moving squirrels," said Dr Signorile.
Morgan Power, 17, from Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, died on 12 February, following the M4 crash near Swansea.
In a tribute, his family said they were "heartbroken" and everyone who knew him was in "a state of shock".
His father, Karl, who was driving the Peugeot Partner van is recovering from his injuries at Morriston Hospital.
The tribute from Mr Power's mother Claire and brother Jay, 14, said the engineering apprentice was a keen sportsman who wanted to follow in the footsteps of his dad who was his "idol".
"He was so close to all of his family - we are all heartbroken and will never forget the wonderful, laid back Morgan," the tribute read.
Police are trying to track down drivers in the area at the time of the incident as they try to put together a full picture of what happened.
They were shot in their car near the settlement of Otniel, in the deadliest such attack for over a month.
It comes amid a surge in attacks, mainly stabbings, on Israelis since the beginning of October.
Elsewhere, two Palestinians were shot dead in clashes with Israeli troops, and another died after being wounded in clashes on Thursday, Palestinians said.
The Israeli military say the gunman opened fire on the car carrying the father, son and other members of the family.
Israeli media identified the victims as Yaacov Litman, 40, and 18-year-old Natanel. Another son, aged 16, was wounded.
A security operation is under way around the Palestinian village of Yatta, near Otniel, as Israeli forces search for the attacker.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the killing, vowing to "find the heinous murderers and... bring them to justice".
Meanwhile, two Palestinians were shot dead in clashes with Israeli troops on Friday, Palestinian health officials said.
Yusuf Awad, 22, was killed near Ramallah, the Palestinian health ministry said, while 23-year-old Hassan Jihad al-Baw was shot dead in Halhul, north of Hebron, Palestinian medics said.
Earlier, Palestinian Mahmud Shalaldeh, 18, who was shot by troops in clashes in Hebron on Thursday, died from his injuries.
The clashes erupted following the funeral of Mr Shalaldeh's relative, shot dead during an undercover Israeli raid on a hospital in Hebron to seize a suspect in the stabbing of an Israeli.
Twelve Israelis and dozens of Palestinians have been killed in recent unrest.
Many of the Palestinian fatalities were attackers in near-daily stabbings of Israelis, shot by their victims or security forces.
The surge in violence began in September when tensions at a flashpoint holy site in Jerusalem revered by Jews and Muslims boiled over, amid rumours that Israel planned to relax long-standing rules to strengthen Jewish rights at the complex.
Israel has repeatedly denied such claims.
Nugent, 47, was Slade's number two and has previously had spells as caretaker manager at Swansea and Leyton Orient.
The League One side sacked former Orient and Cardiff boss Slade on Monday after less than six months in the job.
Nugent will be assisted by first-team coach Simon Clark and Chris O'Loughlin, who has joined the staff at The Valley.
Charlton have dismissed reports linking O'Loughlin with the manager's job, stating he will not become their new boss.
O'Loughlin has had a spell as manager of Belgian side Sint-Truiden, which is part of a network of European clubs owned by Charlton owner Roland Duchatelet.
The Irishman has also been head coach of AS Vita in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and had stints on the coaching staff at Orlando Pirates in South Africa and Melbourne Victory in Australia.

But he says blocking out the emotion and drawing on how close they came to beating the Wallabies will help them launch their autumn series in style.
Laidlaw previously said he would take the pain of that controversial last-minute defeat "to the grave".
"When we take the emotion out of it, it is a game we could have won," he said.
"If we can use that as a positive again, that can help us because we were in the game for 80 minutes.
"But we understand that defensively we need to be stronger this time around. We gave away five tries so Australia will probably be thinking they can cause us problems.
"So we need to be real tight in our defence, real tight in our driving maul and our forward play so we are not giving away cheap points.
"If we get our stuff right, we feel as though we've got a strong game plan. We just need to stay in the moment and stick to our game plan. If we do that, we think we can be in the game."
While Laidlaw believes the way Scotland competed in that quarter-final "gives the team real confidence", he acknowledged the challenge of matching the Wallabies' Test-match intensity by Saturday.
Australia played six Rugby Championship games- winning three, losing three - between August and early October, and looked far more match-sharp than Wales in opening their November series against all four home nations with a crushing 32-8 victory in Cardiff last Saturday.
But Laidlaw thinks extra preparation time - Scotland have been in camp since early last week - and a change of focus to more rugby-specific training, rather than fitness, will help the hosts.
"We are in a better place now than we have been before going into first games in championships," added the Gloucester scrum-half, citing their "poor performance" in the first game of this year's Six Nations against England as evidence.
"We have had a pretty good hit-out to mirror a game. We are excited and we will be ready to go.
"It's an important game for us at home in front of our people, and when our studs hit the ground at the weekend we are going out there to meet fire with fire."
Australia full-back Israel Folau, who is set to win his 50th cap at Murrayfield on Saturday, insists the Wallabies have forgotten about the controversy that overshadowed their last meeting with Scotland.
"Obviously it was a decision made by the referee, it had nothing to do with the players," said the 27-year-old, who missed the World Cup quarter-final through injury before returning for the semi and final.
"I can understand from a Scottish supporters' point of view that it was very disappointing, but for us as players, we have looked past that.
"This week is a new game for us. We are going into it starting from zero. The guys have forgotten about what happened last time.
"It was no surprise to us how Scotland played and it will be no different this week. We are expecting a very tough, challenging game."
Scientists want these ubiquitous gadgets to be put to work helping them detect and investigate earthquakes.
The devices contain accelerometers and a team at the Berkeley Seismic Laboratory says the mechanisms are capable of monitoring tremors.
An app is being developed that will record the shaking during major events and then report the data back to a central server over the cell network.
The high numbers of smartphones now in circulation mean researchers could get very detailed information on who felt what, and where.
It is the sort of insight that is useful for future hazard assessment and risk planning, but real-time data could also eventually play an important role in California's earthquake early warning system.
This aims to give people precious seconds' advance notice that a big trembler is on its way.
"Nowadays, smartphones carry all sorts of sensors, and we can put these to use in unexpected ways," explained Qingkai Kong. "Right now, we can only detect earthquakes above about Magnitude 5.0, but with better accelerometers in future smartphones we would hope to detect smaller ones as well," he told BBC News.
The University of California, Berkeley, researcher was speaking here at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting, the world's largest annual gathering of Earth scientists.
He and colleagues were not sure at first that mobile phones would be up to the task of being pocket seismometers. So a selection of the gadgets was put on the lab's "shake table".
This instrument can simulate various grades of tremors. It is usually employed to test the robustness of various construction techniques, to provide confidence that buildings will not collapse during an earthquake.
The results clearly demonstrated that the accelerometers - used primarily in phones as part of the mechanism to tilt the screen - could pick up the shaking.
The confounding issue, of course, is that phones are rarely left alone on a flat surface - they are moving around with their owners.
But the team believes it can solve this problem as well, and has developed an algorithm that will subtract the human "noise" in the data.
"The pattern recognition algorithm sees typical human activities such as walking, running and driving, and we use that information to disengage those activities from the earthquake signal," said Mr Kong.
This algorithm is rarely fooled, he added.
Berkeley's project is very much in its early stages and the team hopes soon to start recruiting more people into its research project. It is likely to issue a test app to thousands of volunteers across the San Francisco Bay Area next year.
This is a region that lives with the knowledge that a major quake could happen at any time. A Magnitude 7.9 event in 1906 flattened San Francisco; and Berkeley itself sits right on top of the Hayward Fault, which many scientists suspect will deliver the next big blow to the Bay Area.
Having good reports on the amount of shaking in an earthquake from different locations is invaluable data.
The level of disturbance a person feels will depend on many things: the number and quality of buildings close by, and the nature of the soils on which they are built, etc. It is even possible for individuals on opposite sides of a street to have quite different experiences.
Shaking reports help planners identify weaknesses in construction standards and are used to raise the level of preparedness for the next big event.
Moreover, a smartphone seismic network has potential to feed directly into the early warning system.
This relies on being able to detect the faster-moving but not-so-damaging P-waves of a seismic event ahead of its S-waves, which cause most destruction.
How much warning an individual gets will depend on how far they are from the epicentre of a quake.
It can though amount to several seconds - time enough for individuals to take cover in a doorway, for trains to slow, for planes to be passed a message to abort their landing, and for surgeons to finish a delicate procedure.
The current generation of smartphones does not have the sensitivities yet to participate in such a programme, but the performance being promised by tech companies for future accelerometers suggests the dream may soon be fulfilled.
Being everywhere and always on, smartphones would then not only provide a dense source of data for the warning system but be the means also to issue its alerts through dedicated tones and messages.

Their heads move some 6m/s (20ft/s), at each peck enduring a deceleration more than 1,000 times that of gravity.
But researchers reporting in Plos One say that unequal upper and lower beak lengths and spongy, plate-like bone structure protect the birds' brains.
The findings could help design more effective head protection for humans.
For years, scientists have examined the anatomy of woodpeckers' skulls to find out how they pull off their powerful pecking without causing themselves harm.
The birds have little "sub-dural space" between their brains and their skulls, so the brain does not have room to bump around as it does in humans. Also, their brains are longer top-to-bottom than front-to-back, meaning the force against the skull is spread over a larger brain area.
A highly-developed bone called the hyoid - which in humans is just above the "Adam's apple" - has also been studied: starting at the underside of the birds' beaks, it makes a full loop through their nostrils, under and around the back of their skulls, over the top and meeting again before the forehead.
However, Ming Zhang of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, a co-author of the new work, said that he and his colleagues wanted to get to the bottom of the problem numerically.
"We thought that most of the previous studies were limited to the qualitative answer to this question," he told BBC News.
"More quantitative studies are necessary to answer this interesting problem, which would aid in applying the bio-mechanism to human protective device design and even to some industry design."
First, the team had a look at woodpeckers in a controlled environment: two slow-motion cameras captured images of the birds striking a force sensor that measured their pecking power.
They found that the birds slightly turn their heads as they peck, which influences how forces are transmitted.
The team also gathered computed tomography and scanning electron microscope analyses of woodpecker skulls, laying out in detail how the parts fit together and where bone density varied.
With those data in hand, they were able to use a computer simulation to calculate the forces throughout the birds' skulls in the process of pecking.
The team's simulations showed that three factors were at work in sparing the birds injury.
Firstly, the hyoid bone's looping structure around the whole skull was found to act as a "safety belt", especially after the initial impact.
The team also found that the upper and lower halves of the birds' beaks were uneven, and as force was transmitted from the tip of the beak into the bone, this asymmetry lowered the load that made it as far as the brain.
Lastly, plate-like bones with a "spongy" structure at different points in the skull helped distribute the incoming force, thereby protecting the brain.
The team stresses that it is the combination of the three, rather than any one feature, that keeps woodpeckers pecking without injury.
A worker at the hospital said that colleagues were under tremendous pressure, after a "major incident" was declared on Monday 2nd January.
The Western Health Trust confirmed it was due to a high volume of patient numbers.
However a Trust spokesperson said the incident was "stood down" within hours.
It is also understood that there were trolley waits at Altnagelvin.
The Irish News reported on Tuesday that the hospital had to implement a "full 999 divert".
In a statement to the BBC the Western Health and Social Care Trust said:
"The Trust activated its business continuity measures before Christmas and this supported the Trust's operation through the outbreak of Norovirus.
" (Monday) 2nd January 2017 proved a particularly difficult and challenging day and the emergency plan was enacted for a period of time to deal with a pressurised period in our ED (emergency department).
"This measure was stood down shortly afterwards".
In a report in November 2016, the Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority (RQIA) found that staff at Altanagelvin's emergency department were "burnt out".
Newly released figures also show that more than 400 patients had to wait at least 12 hours at emergency departments over the Christmas period.
The figures were obtained by the BBC from the Health and Social Care Board.
From Christmas Eve to 2 January, 462 patients had a wait of at least 12 hours to be admitted, discharged or transferred.
The Health and Social Care Board has apologised for any "distress and inconvenience".
The pressure was most acute in Antrim Area Hospital, where 165 patients faced at least a 12-hour wait.
At the Ulster Hospital, Dundonald, 94 patients had to wait the same period of time while there were 60 patients affected at Craigavon Area Hospital.
In the Western Health Trust, 33 patients waited at least 12 hours in Londonderry's Altnagelvin Hospital while the same number waited 12 hours at the South West Acute Hospital in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh.
In Belfast, 28 patients faced a 12-hour wait at the Royal Victoria Hospital and 24 others waited in excess of 12 hours in the Mater Hospital.
The hospital which had the fewest 12-hour waits was the Causeway Hospital in Coleraine, with nine cases.
From December 24 to 29, there was a 9% rise on the number of attendances at emergency departments compared to the same period last year.
There was an increase of 14% on those visiting the emergency department in Antrim Area Hospital, while the increase was just 4% at the Royal Victoria.
In a statement, the board said there was a very high level of demand on urgent care services because of winter illnesses, including the norovirus.
It said it is working with health trusts, primary care colleagues and other key partners to alleviate the pressure.
"Plans have been put in place across the Health and Social Care system to manage increased demand at this time of year.
"However, given the extent of the increase in demand, some patients have had to wait more than 12 hours to be admitted to hospital.
"We fully understand the distress and inconvenience this causes to patients and their families and apologise to them for it."
Figures showing the amount of patients who had to wait more than four hours are due to be published on Thursday.

The body, which certifies whether fish are caught through good practice, says it is too soon to tell exactly when the North Sea fishery will meet its mark.
But a spokesman said on current trends, it would be ready for certification within years rather than decades.
Stocks would still be in recovery then, James Simpson said, but they would have passed an acceptable level.
MSC certification is determined by the state of the stocks, the environmental impact of the fishery, and if there is a management system in place to maintain sustainability if circumstances change.
The latter two were already in place, Mr Simpson said.
"This is really great news," he said. "We have done an assessment of the entire inshore industry and it's clear that cod is on the way back."
The recovery was thanks to strict catch limits aided by a massive public campaign for sustainable fish, he said.
Barrie Deas, the chief executive of the National Federation of Fishermen's Organisations, which represents fisherman in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, told Radio 4's Today programme it was a "dramatic turnaround".
"I think a major part of it is there are fewer vessels out there. There have been big decommissioning schemes.
"There's also been a change in the mindset in the industry. We work very closely with the scientists now."
Despite the positives, the MSC admits to an unwanted side-effect to the campaign against cod-eating.
Some celebrity chefs have pointed people towards red gurnard as an alternative.
This used to be caught as a bycatch, but so many fishermen are now hunting red gurnard that it is possible stocks of that might run low.
The data on red gurnard was so poor that it is impossible to tell whether it's sustainable or not, the report says.
Brown crab falls into the same category.
The report calls for investment in stocks, such as red gurnard, to ensure they are sustainably managed.
The MSC's Claire Pescod said: "There's been a significant interest in underutilised species over the past few years.
"When those fish suddenly become commercially popular, we need to put a lot more effort into providing the appropriate information for their management to make sure that they are managed sustainably."

But he is hopeful of being fit for the One-Day Cup final against Surrey on 1 July and the start of the Test series against South Africa five days later.
Broad, 30, left the field on day three of Notts' win over Leicestershire.
"He's got some pain and he's got a lot of cricket coming up so it needs sorting out," said coach Peter Moores.
"Stuart has been assessed by the medics over the last 24 hours. They have ruled him out of the Kent game for him to keep getting treatment, and then we'll wait to see how he responds to that treatment."
England are watching Broad's fitness closely as fellow paceman Chris Woakes and all-rounder Ben Stokes are both carrying injuries before the first Test at Lord's on 6 July.
Woakes is highly unlikely to be ready after pulling out of the Champions Trophy with a side problem, while all-rounder Stokes has been managing a knee injury.
Broad has taken 16 wickets in five Championship matches and also played 10 One-Day Cup games for the county.
"I think he was really looking forward to playing in the Kent game. He knows it's a big game for us in the season and he's been very much a part of the team for much of the last three months," Moores told the club website.

Sunday's 1-1 draw against West Ham at Old Trafford means Mourinho's side are sixth and 11 points behind leaders Chelsea. They were second at this stage last season under Louis van Gaal.
"It's a big club and we are used to big clubs - we also know how to take a team to win," said Faria.
What we are chasing will arrive for sure
"We know that we will do it."
Mourinho won three Premier League titles during two spells at Chelsea, who sacked him last December as they lay 16th, having lost nine of their first 16 league games.
He has also won league championships with Porto, Inter Milan and Real Madrid.
Mourinho was sent off by referee Jon Moss on Sunday after kicking a water bottle as he reacted to Paul Pogba being shown a yellow card for diving.
The France midfielder will now be suspended for Wednesday's EFL Cup quarter-final against West Ham.
It was the second time Mourinho has been dismissed in a month, after Mark Clattenburg sent him to the stand during the 0-0 home draw with Burnley.
He was banned and fined for that, and in a separate case was fined £50,000 for comments made about referee Anthony Taylor before United's match with Liverpool.
The Football Association will wait for Moss' report before deciding what action to take against Mourinho.
Faria said: "I think everyone saw his frustration in the situation where it should be a free-kick for us.
"And there's the issue about the yellow card for Paul, which means he'll be suspended, so there is maybe reasons to express some frustration."
Mourinho was dismissed after two goals were scored in the opening quarter of the match.
West Ham took the lead in the second minute when Diafra Sakho headed in from Dimitri Payet's free-kick.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic was partly at fault for the goal but made amends in the 21st minute when he nodded in from Pogba's dinked delivery.
United have drawn five of their past seven league matches.
Mourinho's men are 11 points shy of leaders Chelsea following their fifth draw in seven league matches. In that period, they have only won one game.
Any feelings of euphoria that Manchester United had following Thursday's 4-0 Europa League win have quickly disappeared.
Asked if their title chances had gone, Faria said: "We are looking to the team and trying to get the best results. We knew the job was not an easy job and we fight to change the things and it's what we'll keep doing.
"We believe in the players, we believe in the team and we believe things will change. And what we are chasing will arrive for sure."
Your Excellency, greetings from Dar es Salaam!
Your name, Pombe, in Kiswahili means alcohol.
And I recall that in one of your public rallies you said if people found Pombe a little difficult, they could simply call you Wine.
I'd like to speak some truth to that Wine.
Scientists say red wine has some health benefits - you will definitely need to do a lot of healing in Tanzania.
Your first assignment must be Zanzibar.
The uncertainty surrounding the cancellation of the election in Zanzibar creates a dangerous political vacuum.
The opposition Civic United Front (CUF) party in Zanzibar, and the many people who support it, believe they won the election.
But the Zanzibar Electoral Commission maintains the vote was not valid because it did not meet the threshold for a free and fair election.
CUF has in the past argued that Zanzibar does not reap the full benefits of its union with the mainland.
Many conservative leaders within your own governing CCM party are therefore fearful that a CUF victory could mean a break-up of that union.
If that were to happen, the implications would be far-reaching.
The situation now seems to be a choice between national unity and electoral democracy.
As the union president, you will need to show bold leadership and actively engage with the Zanzibar crisis to find an urgent solution before the country begins to bleed.
After that, you must turn your attention to healing the nation as a whole.
Like any fiercely contested poll anywhere, last month's election has left deep political scars in Tanzania.
Out of the roughly 15 million people who voted, more than half (58% ) said yes to you while over 6 million (42% ) rejected you.
Joseph Warungu:
"President Magufuli, you will need to persuade the Tanzanians who did not vote for you to trust you - to bury their bitter rivalry and rally behind you."
Five challenges for Tanzania's new president
John Magufuli in profile
And then there are the other 7.5 million Tanzanians who decided to remain silent.
They registered but never voted.
You will need to persuade all these Tanzanians to trust you - to bury their bitter rivalry and rally behind you.
When you are done with that, the headaches of your own governing CCM party await you.
You will require a united party of committed members to drive the nation forward.
During the campaign you yourself expressed your frustration over hypocrites inside CCM whom you said were "with you during the day but at night they cross over to the opposition".
Tanzanians are waiting to see if you will have the courage to face up to the harsh voices that stifle reform and fair play within the party - the kind of voices that forced Edward Lowassa to desert CCM and fight you from the safety of the Chadema opposition party.
Some of these influential voices belong to people in very senior positions.
You are currently not the national chair of CCM party, yet you will need the clout that comes from that position to reach those powerful people and pull them by the ear.
As you get busy reforming CCM, you must also restore some discipline in all sectors of public life in Tanzania.
The previous regime had a very relaxed approach to life.
Punctuality was a word to be found only in the dictionary and bureaucracy seemed to be enshrined in the constitution.
The previous president spent quite a lot of time on foreign trips, leaving his 46 million children unattended.
But most critically, high-level corruption has nearly milked government accounts dry.
The first steps you took when you got the keys to State House have been quite encouraging.
Walking to the Ministry of Finance offices unannounced sent a strong message that you will keep a close eye on public money and public service.
Some of the absentee civil servants, who had left their jackets hanging over their empty chairs when you paid a visit, have caught a sudden terrible bout of political malaria.
They are still sweating and shivering and regretting their absence.
You made a lot of promises on the campaign platform including revamping the transport infrastructure and health delivery.
These commitments will require serious money.
So you will need to raise it quickly by increasing government revenue and by sealing the leaking holes.
You will again need to confront the rich and the powerful who are the biggest tax evaders, while also easing the taxation burden on the small informal businesses that are frequently harassed by the authorities.
Your in-tray is certainly overflowing.
But this should not be a concern because you fought the election on a platform of service delivery.
Your campaign slogan was "hapa ni kazi", which roughly translates into "we mean business".
However, the one wild animal that Tanzanians are desperate for you to hunt down is corruption.
You will need nerves of steel and staying power to take tough action on those who treat government finances like personal ATM machines.
Very few African presidents have ever succeeded in curing this global illness.
If you do, then you will definitely deserve a large glass of wine and a collective cheer from the people of Tanzania.
Mr President, you said we can call you wine, now we just need to taste and see how vibrant, mature and refreshing this wine truly is.

Some of the sites involved were seized from net entrepreneur Kim Dotcom and are thought to attract large numbers of visitors.
The sites were taken over thanks to an administrative error by the FBI which forgot to renew its ownership of one domain.
The sites have now been suspended and no longer show any web content.
Tech news site Torrent Freak revealed that several web domains that used to be run by Kim Dotcom were suddenly directing visitors to sites peddling porn, fake security software, adware and bogus special offers.
These domains were seized three years ago when the FBI carried out raids on Mr Dotcom's business empire, alleging that his Megaupload service was a haven for pirates and copyright thieves. The legal action that started with the raids has yet to be resolved.
Megaupload.com and Megavideo.com were two of the domains briefly taken over by the adware peddlers.
Mr Dotcom lamented what happened to the domains in a tweet, saying the US government had "lost control" of them. He also warned people about adware and other bogus offers.
A separate investigation by news site Ars Technica revealed that the domains had become available because the FBI had forgotten to renew its ownership of a separate site - cirfu.net.
This was used by the agency's Cyber Initiative and Resources Fusion Unit that oversaw sites seized during investigations and raids conducted by the force. This unit replaced the seized site's content with banners announcing that they had been taken over by the FBI.
Megaupload.com, an associated Mega video site and several gambling domains were controlled via cirfu.net.
However, said Ars Technica, cirfu.net was auctioned earlier this month soon after the FBI's ownership of it expired and was not renewed.
The exact identity of who got control of cirfu.net and its associated sites is not known. However, net ownership records show it is now run by Syndk8 Media which is based in Gibraltar.
Soon after news stories about the sites began circulating, the sites were suspended by registrar GoDaddy for violating the company's terms and conditions.
The FBI has yet to comment on what happened to the domains.
The 19-year-old, on-loan from Nottingham Forest, followed up his brace against Hartlepool by grabbing the opener with Jack King doubling the advantage, before James Collins' late consolation.
Crawley made a bright start, Collins firing wide from the edge of the box just three minutes in.
The hosts responded well, with Matt Godden denied by the assistant's flag after sweeping his effort beyond goalkeeper Mitchell Beeney.
Boro deservedly went ahead before the break when Walker escaped the clutches of the defence before arrowing a shot across Beeney.
King pounced to double the lead 10 minutes into the second half. Godden raced clear before cutting the ball back to the midfielder, who coolly slotted home.
Collins capitalised on hesitant defending to pull one back for Crawley with five minutes remaining but the home side held on.

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph Deters said the police would later "confer with our office on possible criminal charges".
The zoo says it had no choice but to kill the gorilla, and has defended its safety measures around the enclosure.
Animal activists have accused the zoo of negligence.
Stop Animal Exploitation Now, a Cincinnati-based animal rights group, said it had filed a federal complaint against the zoo with the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The police said that their review of the incident "is only regarding the actions of the parents/family that led up to the incident and not related to the operation or safety of the Cincinnati Zoo."
The parents of the boy, who suffered minor injuries in the incident, have also faced heavy criticism on social media.
Cincinnati Police on Tuesday corrected earlier statements which had given the boy's age as four.
The case report provided by police states that witnesses said the gorilla at first appeared to be protecting the boy, but then grew agitated due to screaming onlookers. It then began to drag him.
The child fell into the enclosure of 17-year-old Harambe, an endangered western lowland gorilla, on Saturday.
Video footage showed the boy being dragged through shallow water by the animal. Zookeepers shot Harambe soon afterwards.
The zoo on Monday defended its actions, saying it had no choice but to shoot the gorilla as tranquilisers would not have worked in time to save the boy.
It also said its Gorilla World exhibit was safe and exceeded required protocols.
But Michael Budkie, of Stop Animal Exploitation Now, said the USDA should fine the zoo for having an exhibit that the public could access.
"What happened this weekend made it very clear that the physical barriers at the Cincinnati Zoo are not adequate to keep people out of the enclosures, obviously," he said, adding that the enclosure was reported to be over 30 years old.
He also said the zoo had been criticised back in March after two polar bears were able to wander out of their pen into a service hallway.
Michelle Gregg, the mother of the boy who fell into a gorilla enclosure, has become the victim of online abuse.
People were quick to take to social media after zoo officials defended the decision to shoot the animal.
Eddie Whrnbrg wrote on Facebook: "...the zoos aren't the problem. It's the idiotic parents."
On Twitter @blxxm83 wrote: "So lazy parents can't control their wild kids and a beautiful endangered animal gets shot and killed because of it? #Harambe #RIPHarambe"
In another tweet @brittrosenthal wrote "Sad thing is it looked like #Harambe was protecting the kid more than the parent was. #CincinnatiZoo"
Some even called for Ms Gregg to be dismissed from her job.
Ms Gregg, posting on Facebook after the incident, said her son was "able to walk away with a concussion and a few scrapes... no broken bones or internal injuries".
She also had this to say to her critics: As a society we are quick to judge how a parent could take their eyes of of their child and if anyone knows me I keep a tight watch on my kids. Accidents happen but I am thankful people were in the right place today."
Her Facebook page has since been deleted.
About the same time as she made her comments, a Facebook group called Justice for Harambe was set up.
An online petition signed by more than 300,000 people was also created, calling for her to be held accountable for Harambe's death.
The soldier, from 1st Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment, was shot on Friday in the Khar Nikah area of Helmand.
Lieutenant Colonel Gordon Mackenzie said he was "fatally wounded in an insurgent attack while on a foot patrol to disrupt insurgent activity".
British military deaths in Afghanistan since 2001 now stand at 397.
L/Cpl Gurung, 26, was born in Majthana, Nepal. He joined the Brigade of Gurkhas on 18 December 2004 at British Gurkhas Pokhara, Nepal.
He served three times in Afghanistan during his military career.
His Company were responsible for holding the contested area north east of Helmand's second city, Gereshk.
On the afternoon of 27 January, L/Cpl Gurung's patrol came under small arms fire and he was fatally wounded.
He leaves behind his wife Manisha, father Gum Bahadur, mother Lekh Maya, his brother Buddha and sister Junu.
Lieutenant Colonel Dan Bradbury, Commanding Officer, 1st Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment, said L/Cpl Gurung "touched so many lives for the better".
He added: "His peers in Delhi Company and all of us in the chain of command knew him as an intelligent, charismatic and inquisitive natural leader of men.
"Never one to let an opportunity go, he was constantly striving to know more, learn more and his ability to get on so well with the local people made him the natural choice to train the Afghan Local Police.
"He died as he lived - at the heart of the action, taking the fight to the enemy and resolute in the face of danger. He was a true Gurkha in body and spirit in everything he did."
Defence Secretary Philip Hammond, said: "I was very saddened to learn of the death of Lance Corporal Gajbahadur Gurung, a young soldier who achieved so much during his few years as a member of the British Army.
"He served three tours of Afghanistan, fighting to safeguard Britain's national security and to give Afghanistan a peaceful future.
"My thoughts and deepest sympathies are with his family, friends and colleagues."
Some 500 of around 9,500 British servicemen and women in Afghanistan are due to be brought home in 2012 and Prime Minister David Cameron has indicated that more will leave in 2013.
He has said he wants British soldiers to end combat operations in the country by 2014.
George Young, of Westhill, received pension credits, housing and council tax benefits.
However, he had been earning money by painting and decorating over the six-year period in question and failed to inform the authorities.
He admitted the offence at Aberdeen Sheriff Court and was jailed for 61 weeks.
Young got more than £52,000 in pension credit from the Department of Work and Pensions he was not entitled to.
He also fraudulently obtained more than £16,000 in housing tax benefits and more than £4,500 in council tax benefits from Aberdeenshire Council.
Just four years ago, natural gas prices in Europe were roughly comparable with those in the US; now they are three times higher. In Japan, they are five times higher.
Understandably, countries around the world want a piece of the action.
Governments from the UK and Poland to China and Argentina are dreaming of cheap power and, just as importantly for some, energy security. Shale, many have decided, is the answer.
But can the shale gas revolution in the US really be replicated around the world?
How American energy independence could change the world
Poland was seen as the poster boy for European shale gas but, according to Stuart Elliott, managing editor at the industry information provider Platts, "the Polish experiment has been a failure to date".
Enticed by seemingly abundant reserves and a government keen to kick-start production, US energy majors moved in, hoping to replicate their domestic success on foreign shores.
Thirty to 40 wells were planned for 2013. To date, there is just one well producing enough gas to be economically viable.
Source: US Energy Information Administration (EIA). Figures show technically recoverable resources in trillions of cubic feet of gas.
Exxon Mobil, Talisman and Marathon have all pulled out, while Chevron, Conoco Phillips and San Leon are persevering.
Much of the blame has been laid at the door of the government, which got "greedy and stupid", according to Prof Paul Stevens, senior research fellow at the Chatham House think tank.
A punitive tax regime and an insistence that foreign companies work with local partners did much to dampen enthusiasm, although the government has since made its regulatory regime more attractive to overseas investors.
But more significant for the wider shale industry in Europe, says Prof Stevens, were comments made by Exxon's chief executive. The technology that had proved so successful in the US did not work on Polish geology, Rex Tillerson said.
The UK government is another that has high hopes for shale, but only a handful of test wells have been drilled in the past four years. In the US, more than 100 wells were needed before the industry was satisfied that shale gas was viable.
This inactivity is largely due to public opposition to fracking - the process of drilling for shale gas - and an 18-month moratorium on drilling following concerns about earth tremors.
"Suspicions are high so the regulatory regime needs to be very robust," says John Williams, senior principal at Poyry Management Consulting. "Everything needs to be gold-plated - any slip-ups and it's game over. This is why we haven't really moved forward."
And opposition will not go away.
Concerns about water contamination, earthquakes and disruption to rural communities have captured the public imagination, but experts suggest we may be worrying about the wrong things.
"The argument that fracking damages the water supply doesn't stack up, and any disruption would be fairly short-lived," says Prof Stevens.
Concerns about earthquakes were always something of a red herring.
"The legitimate concerns," says Prof Stevens, "are 'What do we do with the waste water - there are nasty heavy metals and radioactivity [deep under ground]?' There is also the question of fugitive methane - we simply don't know how much leakage there is."
He also points out that while shale gas may be less polluting than coal and oil, it is still a fossil fuel. "If we have any hope of hitting our two-degree [climate change] target, burning gas is not the way.
"Diverting investment from renewables is also a genuine concern".
And opposition is not confined to the UK. Protests have taken place around the world, with activists from more than 20 countries signing up to Global Frackdown day last year. France has banned fracking, while moratoriums have been put in place in Germany, Romania and Bulgaria.
But public opposition, partly because Europe is more densely populated than the US, where people are far more familiar with oil and gas operations, is just one of many factors holding back shale development.
For a start, environmental regulation is far stronger in Europe.
Source: EIA. Figures show technically recoverable resources in billion barrels of oil.
There has also been relatively little government investment in research and development outside America. The US government ploughed millions of dollars into basic scientific research in the early 1980s, while the European Commission wants the industry itself to make these investments in R&D. This is by no means a given.
After all, the US shale industry did not appear overnight, but has developed over the past 25 years.
Property rights are also key, says Prof Stevens. In the US, homeowners usually own the minerals under their land, so they can agree a price and hand over the rights to an energy company. In Europe, the state tends to own the minerals, and no-one is going to let an energy company rip up their land without a fight.
Add to this questions about the suitability of the geology in many countries and the lack of infrastructure and pipelines, and it is clear that the barriers to a shale revolution outside the US are considerable and numerous.
There are also questions about the ultimate impact of shale on energy prices in Europe, which operates an integrated market across the continent.
Forecasts by Poyry suggest wholesale gas prices might be between 6% and 14% lower over the period 2020-50, while electricity prices might be between 3% and 8% cheaper. The impact on household spending would be lower, as the wholesale price is just one component of energy bills.
These figures suggest the impact of shale on energy prices in Europe would be far less significant than in the US.
One country where the prospects for shale do look brighter is China.
"Gas demand is set to rocket and they are looking to spend billions on shale," says Mr Elliott. The government plans to produce about one-third of the current US shale gas capacity by 2020.
Experts view this target as ambitious to say the least, but the country has the right geology, a cheap labour market, far fewer regulatory obstacles and, so far, relatively little public opposition.
The main issue is water. Much of China's shale reserves are located in the north west of the country, which is extremely arid. This is a "major sticking point", says Mr Elliott.
And despite the government's grand plans, so far all China's efforts to exploit its abundant shale resources have come to nothing. In fact, while there are thousands of shale wells in the US, there are only a handful producing commercial quantities of gas in the whole of the rest of the world.
Mr Williams thinks it will be eight to 10 years before China is producing a significant amount of shale energy, let alone enough to affect the overall price of gas. And this in a country where there are relatively few barriers to entry.
For the rest of the world, then, any significant shale production within this timescale seems wholly unrealistic. "You can forget about the next five to 10 years," says Prof Stevens. "Fifteen to 20 is a possibility".
Those governments looking to shale as a quick fix for high energy prices and security of supply may, then, have unrealistic expectations. Shale may not be the saviour that many hope it to be.
Keane scored an injury-time equaliser at Brighton as Burnley drew 2-2 to remain three points clear of Middlesbrough at the top of the table.
Sean Dyche's side were promoted to the top flight in 2014, when they finished second behind champions Leicester.
"The point gives us a bit of breathing space in the top two," Keane said.
The 23-year-old told BBC Radio Lancashire: "Obviously we want to go and be champions, we want to win the league. That is our aim but we've got to take it one game at a time.
"To get a point at Brighton in the way that we did is a great result."
Burnley have not been beaten in the league since Boxing Day and have won six of their last eight games to occupy top spot with just over a month of the campaign to go.
"We feel like no one can beat us at the minute," added former Manchester United trainee Keane.
"Even when we're down and we don't play well we just keep going, stick to what we believe in and it's paid off again.
"We've got seven games so there are a lot of points to play for, but a lot of the players have done it before, so hopefully they can help see the players like myself over the line who have never done it."
The three special officers and one police community support officer will ride beats in south and north Norfolk using their own horses.
The officers were assessed for mounted duty in February by World Horse Welfare field officer Jacko Jackson.
He said: "We hope the officers will be a real asset. Reintroducing officers on horseback is a positive move."
The move comes as part of the force's Operation Randall
, a project to deter criminals targeting the countryside.
The cost of funding the horses' equipment and uniform, around £600 per mount, has come from sponsorship. The force said officers patrolling on horseback would give rural communities better access to police support.
Temporary Ch Supt Nick Dean, who leads the operation, said: "The scheme will make a real difference as the mounted specials will offer a visible yet reassuring presence in the local communities where they will be patrolling."
The initiative in Norfolk follows the success of patrols by rural specials on horseback in Hertfordshire, which began in 2009.
The four officers, Richard Tallent, Becky Taylor, Nicola Rix and Edward Arbuthnot, will be the police's "eyes and ears" in the countryside.
Special constable Nichola Rix said: "This role is non-confrontational. It's to make sure nothing is being stolen or anything that looks suspicious is reported."
The mounted officers will not be used to police riots, control public order or for large-scale demonstrations.
Mounted patrol officers were last used in Norfolk in the mid-1900s. If the scheme is successful, Norfolk Police hope to extend the initiative to other parts of the county.
Lee Gregory should have scored for the Lions when he volleyed over from close range, but then provided the cross for Morison to head them in front.
Shane Ferguson crossed for Gregory to double the lead with his head, and then set up Morison to nod in his second.
Morison sent another header narrowly wide late on, as Peterborough lost for the fourth time in five league games.
The win moved Millwall up a place to fifth in the table, with Posh sliding further out of play-off contention in 12th, eight points away from the top six.

Millwall boss Neil Harris told BBC Radio London:
"I thought our all-round attacking play was excellent today.
"We did really well to get the ball into wide areas. I thought the front two, with and without the ball, were excellent.
"Their quality with the ball is there to be seen because their goal tally says so - 20 goals (for Lee Gregory), 12 for Steve Morison, they're a good pair.
"There's a spirit about us and we dig in for each other."
Peterborough boss Graham Westley told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire:
"They played pretty much as we thought they would, there were no surprises for us, we prepared for everything that came our way.
"We didn't execute the job that we came here to do. I don't think in possession we took anywhere near enough responsibility for the ball.
"I don't think we developed our forward game in any serious way.
"We didn't box clever, things we knew they did undid us, which is naive, and I think we're capable of better than that."
The Eurostat statistics agency said its final estimate was supported by stronger household spending and business investment, and gave a year-on-year growth figure of 1.7%.
The initial growth estimate had been 0.6%, which was then revised to 0.5%.
For the fourth quarter of 2015, growth was also revised up to 0.4% from 0.3%.
The rate of growth in the January-to-March quarter matched the level in the first three months of 2015, a pace only surpassed at the start of 2011, when the eurozone economy raced ahead at 0.9%.
Quarter-on-quarter growth was at a healthy 0.7% in Germany, the eurozone's largest economy, 0.6% in France and 0.3% in Italy.
The only eurozone nation suffering contraction was Greece, whose economy shrank by 0.5%.
For the European Union bloc of 28 countries, total economic growth was 0.5% in the first quarter, Eurostat said. Growth in the fourth quarter of 2015 was also 0.5%.
Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist at IHS Global Insight, said there were plenty of "positives" in the data. However, he warned that "global economic uncertainties and problems are still a handicap for eurozone growth."
Weak consumer confidence, sluggish exports, the threat of terrorism, and the prospect of the UK leaving the EU, were weighing on future growth, he said.

Becky Downie secured gold on the uneven bars, while her younger sister Ellie claimed silver on the vault and floor.
Becky, 24, pipped Russian world champion Daria Spiridonova to the title by scoring 15.5 points.
Sixteen-year-old Ellie, who scored 14.933, came second to home favourite Giulia Steingruber.
Becky's uneven bars success means she reclaims the title she won in 2014, while Ellie's vault and floor silvers take the GB women's tally to four medals in Switzerland, following Saturday's team silver.
"I'm so pleased not just to win the gold but to do it with my hardest routine," Becky Downie told BBC Sport.
"In my mind I knew I was going to go for it today; I needed to test it - hopefully if I make the team - for Rio."
Ellie finished second to home favourite Steingruber in both her finals.
Last up on floor, the younger Downie performed a routine that pushed her team-mate Claudia Fragapane down to fourth and out of the medals.
"I'm so chuffed with the vault silver. I knew if I did my did my good vaults I could get in that top three," Ellie Downie said.
"I definitely wasn't expecting the silver on floor. I qualified in fourth and just wanted to go out and enjoy the last routine of the competition."
Fragapane also came fourth in vault, while Becky Downie was joint-sixth on beam and Gabby Jupp finished seventh on bars in her first international competition following a lengthy knee injury.
Andrew RT Davies has distanced himself from claims that favoured people are being imposed by the party centrally.
He said there should be "a slate" so local associations have a choice.
One regional official warned that the imposition of a candidate in Bridgend could cost the party one of its main target seats.
Karen Robson was named by the party centrally after activists asked for a "local" candidate to be added to a shortlist of two.
A general election candidate was also effectively imposed in Newport West - Angela Jones-Evans - where no other name was offered to activists.
Challenged on what happened in Newport West, Mr Davies told LBC radio at the weekend that he had "no part to play in candidate selection in Wales whatsoever".
He said such questions were better directed to the chairman of the party "who has been dealing with these matters in Wales" and that it was a "voluntary party matter".
But Mr Davies added: "Without a shadow of a doubt, in my opinion, it should be a slate of candidates so associations should have a choice."
However, the Welsh Tory leader said the Newport West selection had been made "with the agreement of the association" and denied it had been "imposed".
He said the constituency party had an "excellent candidate" in Ms Jones-Evans.
Welsh Conservative chairman Jonathan Evans has been asked to comment.
Known as the crown jewel of Iraq's railway network, Baghdad Central Station was designed by British architects and completed in the early 1950s - but it was not until extensive renovation following the US-led invasion in 2003 that the grand structure, with its imposing dome, regained some of its former splendour.
Ali al-Karkhi, a train driver at the station for nearly 40 years, says: "When I die, I want people to remember how I never faltered in any of my work at the station."
The state railway's heyday, when it offered luxury travel to Jerusalem and even as far west as London, has long passed.
Now, its overnight journeys run only to Basra, and its large fleet of trains has been reduced to just six, pushing more than 200 train drivers into compulsory redundancy.
Security is an ongoing issue, with passengers asked to place their bags in a line so a sniffer dog can search for traces of explosives or weapons.
Mr Karkhi describes, as if it were yesterday, how his love for the station began when he was four and would watch the trains pass his house in Baghdad. And the sound of a train's horn still draws him to his balcony to watch it enter the station and relive that childhood joy.
Mr Karkhi's father was from Baghdad, and his mother was of Kurdish-Iranian origin.
In 1989, he was selected to drive then President Saddam Hussein's train, but when his mother's heritage was revealed, he was quickly removed from the roster.
Following the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003, when the US-led invasion swept through the country, the Iraqi state collapsed and there was widespread looting of property.
Mr Karkhi says: "I was there the day they started looting the trains.
"I felt like parts of my body were being cut off and taken away.
"These carriages are a reflection of the state of Iraq today."
These ransacked trains have been abandoned next to tracks built by the British, which divide an old graveyard.
"It feels like one side is now a graveyard for people and the other a graveyard for the trains," says Mr Karkhi as he walks towards the grave of one of his colleagues, killed, along with his wife and son, by militants
"Us Iraqis no longer see death as something special, it's like seeing an empty packet of cigarettes on the street, it's something we are used to," he says. "I no longer fear death."
Three were killed, three captured, and one, armed forces commander Abdul Haris Nasution, escaped, although his five-year-old daughter was fatally wounded by gunfire.
The three captured generals were taken to the main airbase in south Jakarta and killed, their mutilated bodies stuffed down a well.
This incident profoundly changed the course of Indonesian modern history, leading to one of the worst mass killings of the 20th Century, wiping out the world's third largest Communist Party, and bringing to power a general who ruled for three decades and brought the country firmly into the US orbit during the Cold War.
Yet 50 years later, these events remain poorly understood in Indonesia, with the real actors behind the move against the generals and their motives still unclear.
The shadow of what followed hangs over Indonesian society even today, with millions of families scarred by the trauma of massacres and brutal imprisonment, or by the guilt of having taken part.
I was based in Jakarta as the BBC correspondent in the last two-and-a-half years of the long rule of President Suharto, the general who emerged as the victor of the 1965 events.
Every year, TV channels would show films depicting the official version of those events, and ceremonies would be held by the well on the airbase, now known as lubang buaya or crocodile hole.
This narrative had the attempted coup led by the Indonesian Communist Party, or PKI. It portrays the party cadres as depraved and vicious, inflicting dreadful suffering on the six generals and one lieutenant who were killed.
But more than that, this Suharto doctrine painted communism as an evil, atheistic force that could sweep back over Indonesia if people were insufficiently vigilant - and of course, it justified the continued rule by his authoritarian New Order.
I knew quite a lot about those events, having worked for years for an Indonesian human rights group in London.
But under Suharto it was impossible to talk freely about them. In rural villages in Java I would occasionally be shown where the killings of suspected communists had taken place.
Younger Indonesians would ask their parents for me, but get only silence in response.
Rivalries between the Indonesian military and the Communist Party came to a head when six generals were killed in an overnight attack by soldiers allegedly sympathetic to the communists
A group of officers led by a colonel in President Sukarno's palace guard was accused of trying to launch a coup
General Suharto led bloody anti-communist purges in which hundreds of thousands of suspected leftists were killed
Many more were detained and imprisoned without trial
Gen Suharto was handed emergency powers by President Sukarno in 1966 and took over as president the following year, ruling Indonesia for 31 years
More from the BBC's Witness programme
I knew a few people whose lives had been blighted by the 1965 upheavals - unable to study at university, because a grandmother had been tainted by association with a communist group; unable to get a proper job because of once being imprisoned as a tapol, or political detainee.
Until 1995, former prisoners - and there had been 100,000 of them, held in appalling conditions, without trial, between 1965 and 1979 - had their national identity cards marked with the letters ET for ex-tapol.
To this day in Indonesia, ex-tapols complain about discrimination.
The fall of Suharto in a sudden burst of people power in 1998 lifted the pervasive fear, which had silenced all discussion of the 1965 events until then.
It has allowed survivors of the killing fields to learn for the first time that the official version they were fed was, in fact, largely propaganda.
Back in 1965, Indonesia was in a state of high tension. Its embryonic parliamentary system had been replaced in 1959 by the single leadership of the country's mercurial founding president Sukarno.
Rebellions and attempted coups had been put down; the country was in a constant state of near conflict; it had fought for, and won control of Dutch-administered New Guinea. Its troops were fighting British forces protecting the newly created federation of Malaysia.
Sukarno railed against US-led imperialism, and took Indonesia out of the UN. The economy was near to collapse.
In this ferment, the PKI, with three million members and perhaps 20 million sympathisers, pushed for more influence, while increasing its power in populous Java by promoting land redistribution, sometimes violently, usually at the expense of orthodox Muslim landowners.
The army, by then enjoying US training and a prominent role in state industry, saw the party as a threat, especially its efforts to win converts in the ranks. With Sukarno's health failing, a showdown seemed inevitable.
But the attempted putsch against the top generals was feeble and poorly planned.
Led by middle-ranking leftist officers, it had the support of only a few military units. The PKI leader, DN Aidit, was involved in the planning, but the most important role was played by a mysterious agent called Sjam Kamaruzaman, who headed a little-known PKI unit, the Special Bureau, which aimed to infiltrate the ranks of the armed forces.
But most of the party was ignorant of the plot, and unprepared to take advantage of it.
Inexplicably, the plotters ignored Gen Suharto, who commanded the important Kostrad strategic reserve unit.
After Suharto's resignation in 1998, the only surviving plotter, Colonel Latief, explained that he had informed Suharto of their plans days before, and understood him to be on their side. It was a disastrous miscalculation.
Suharto led a swift and efficient counter-coup, dispersing the plotters within 24 hours. The PKI leaders were rounded up, some of them, like Aidit, summarily executed, others put through tribunals that saw many more executed later.
The army took control of the media, whipping up anger against the PKI.
And then the killings began. Within four months, at least 500,000 had died.
In 2001, I interviewed a man in the East Java town of Pasuruan, who took part in the killings.
We would march them down to the pier, he said, club them to death, and roll their bodies into the sea. They did not resist, and he spoke of hundreds dying at that spot.
Like most of the inhabitants of that part of Java, he was a devout supporter of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), a traditionalist Muslim movement with tens of millions of followers.
They saw the PKI as godless rivals and were easily prompted to violence against its supporters. Later the charismatic leader of NU, Abdurrahman Wahid, a reformist Muslim who became president in 1999, used to tell me his knowledge of the terrible bloodshed carried out by NU followers in 1965 was the main reason he dared not back moves to unseat Suharto, for fear of further communal violence.
But we also now know that the mass killings usually started only after the arrival of military special forces, dispatched by Suharto to enforce his regime's authority. The army played a central role.
Those forces were lead by Colonel Sarwo Edhie, who happened to be the father-in-law of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, the fourth president after Suharto, who stepped down only in 2014.
All of which helps to explain why, 17 years after the fall of Suharto, there is still no real debate about the events of 1965.
The military, which remains a powerful institution, has much to lose by having its murky role publicly discussed.
Millions of people who took part in the killings do not want to talk about them.
And the decades of intense demonisation of the PKI make it very hard for its sympathisers to speak out.
The astonishing twin films made recently by American director Joshua Oppenheimer, in which perpetrators and victims re-live their roles and their memories of the 1965 killings, have for the first time brought those events wider global attention.
They have been shown in Indonesia, and provoked reactions ranging from anger to bewilderment and, among a few Indonesians, curiosity to know more.
In some areas, family members have started excavating known mass graves in search of human remains.
A "people's tribunal" has been set up by activists in the Netherlands to document the human rights abuses of that period.
Indonesia's president, Joko Widodo, has promised a state-sponsored inquest, but has so far done little, and has refused to apologise to the victims on behalf of the state.
With every year, fewer of those who witnessed the terrible massacres are alive and able to testify.
Time is running out for a full accounting of the horrors of that time, and a chance to settle the ghosts of Indonesia's unhappy history.
Officers seized the drugs from a property in Bellefield Avenue, on Tuesday, after executing a search warrant.
Two men, aged 27 and 25, have been charged and are expected to appear at Dundee Sheriff Court.
The search was part of Police Scotland's intelligence-led initiative to tackle drug-related criminality.
Det Insp Stewart Forsyth, of Police Scotland's specialist crime division, said: "A significant amount of heroin and cocaine was recovered, highlighting our ongoing commitment to remove controlled drugs from our communities and reduce the harm caused by illegal substances.
"I want to thank our communities for their support. By providing information to us about drug-related criminality we can take positive action to search properties under warrant, seize controlled drugs and arrest those involved in their supply.
"Report it and we will take action."
The governor of Homs province, Talal Barazi, said government forces were now regrouping outside the ancient city, preparing to launch a fresh assault.
IS held the city from May 2015 until it was forced out in March this year.
Correspondents say IS appears to have taken advantage of the government's focus on Aleppo, further north.
Mr Barazi confirmed the withdrawal from Palmyra but insisted "the army is using all means to prevent the terrorists from staying".
Activists in the city said militants were going door to door looking for any remaining forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad.
IS re-entered the city and its nearby ancient ruins - a Unesco World Heritage site - on Saturday, after launching an offensive earlier in the week.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Sunday morning that "intense" bombing from Russian planes had forced IS to withdraw to the orchards on the city's outskirts.
The Russian defence ministry said it had carried out 64 strikes during the operation, and claimed to have killed more than 300 militants.
The Syrian army has also sent reinforcements to the city, reportedly diverting troops from Aleppo.
The observatory later reported that militants had again fought their way into the town, forcing government forces to retreat to the south.
Reports said IS militants had attacked with suicide car bombs and artillery.
Palmyra is seen as strategic for IS because it lies close to oilfields.
IS destroyed a number of monuments and beheaded the archaeological director during its 10-month occupation of the site and the adjacent city of Tadmur.
Two 2,000-year-old temples, an arch and funerary towers were left in ruins.
Maamoun Abdulkarim, a Syrian official for antiquities, said the contents of Palmyra's museum had been transferred to Damascus but he feared for the safety of the ancient ruins.
"I fear they will be more vengeful," he told the Associated Press.
The jihadist group, which has also demolished several pre-Islamic sites in neighbouring Iraq, believes that such structures are idolatrous.
The latest battle in Palmyra happened as the Syrian army closed in on the remaining rebel-held area of the city of Aleppo.
Rebel forces said on Saturday that they had halted the advance of government forces in the pockets they still control in Aleppo.
One rebel commander said a reason for the slowed government advance could be the redeployment of troops to Palmyra.
However, the Syrian government has been continuously advancing on the rebel areas, backed by Russian air support, and now reportedly controls 93% of the city.
A rebel official told Reuters news agency that his forces faced "death or surrender" as their area of control continued to shrink.
On Saturday, US Secretary of State John Kerry called on the Syrian government and the Russian military to "show a little grace" as they mopped up the remaining rebel-held areas of Aleppo.
US and Russian officials are continuing talks in Geneva over the possible evacuation of civilians and rebel fighters from Aleppo, but analysts say an agreement looks unlikely.
The BBC can reveal that last season, the price for policing Glasgow's Old Firm derby games was almost £2.4m.
Figures obtained under Freedom of Information show the public purse paid the majority of this with Rangers and Celtic paying less than one sixth.
Six of the derbies played in 2010/11 landed the police with a bill for £1,968,840. The clubs paid £301,263.80.
In addition the CIS Insurance Cup Final at Hampden cost Strathclyde Police £412,216. The Scottish Football League, which is responsible for the cup, was charged £35,905.20.
For matches played at Celtic Park and Ibrox Stadium, the home side is required by law to pay costs in the stadium and its immediate vicinity.
But according to Strathclyde Police, the overall cost on match days goes way beyond there.
Assistant Chief Constable Campbell Corrigan said if trouble surrounding the fixture continued at its current level the funding arrangements would need to be reviewed.
He posed the question: "We will, as a police service, have to ask the question: does the community want us to spend this amount of money on that single event?"
The contrast between Old Firm derbies and other games involving the Glasgow clubs is stark.
Celtic's last home match against third-placed Hearts cost the police £16,521.
Even Rangers Champion's League home game against Manchester United was just £25,765.
For the Old Firm games, the money goes on match commanders, events room staff and football intelligence teams but the biggest single expense - nearly half of the total - is for extra police officers, not just in Glasgow but in towns and villages from Ayrshire to Argyll.
And these figures, for routine policing on match days, are only a fraction of the true price of the frenzy surrounding the fixture.
They do not take into account inquiries into hate-filled internet sites where debate about football spills over into threats of violence.
They do not include the cost of investigating letter bombs sent to the Celtic manager Neil Lennon, his lawyer Paul McBride QC and a Celtic-supporting politician Trish Godman.
Nor do they tally the salaries of detectives, doctors, nurses, lawyers and judges, not to mention the fall in productivity when companies' employees end up in hospital, court or prison.
Les Gray, chairman of the Scottish Police Federation, which represents rank and file officers, cited recent research suggesting that the total monetary cost to society of one serious assault - in terms of policing, courts, NHS, education and social services - was £250,000.
He said "If you have an Old Firm Game and there's 30, 40, 50 serious assaults you don't need to be Carol Vorderman to count that up.
"That's a lot of money coming out of the public purse and as we know from recent headlines the public purse cannot afford that.
"Something has to give. It means that other members of the community are doing without parts of their police service."
The BBC has also obtained figures for violent crime when the Old Firm meet. The data backs up the suspicion that a kind of madness descends on Glasgow on derby day.
From 2007-2011 on a Saturday, when Rangers and Celtic were not playing each other, crimes of violence across the Strathclyde Police force area averaged 140.
When the Old Firm met on a Saturday that number rocketed to 382 - more than two-and-a-half times as high.
On a Sunday when an Old Firm derby was played, the average figure for violent crimes jumped from 67.1 to 179.9. Even for weekday fixtures it rose from 64 to 106.
The Scottish government insists it is tackling the problem.
An attempt to rush through tough new anti-sectarian legislation in time for the start of the football season on Saturday was, however, thwarted because of concerns that the law would not be properly drafted or debated.
Celtic manager Neil Lennon said everyone connected with the club was aware of the new approach being taken following last season's problems.
He added: "We know where we stand and the players certainly know where they stand in terms of refereeing and policing.
"Some police have actually said they are going to step in. If there is a spitting incident or a headbutting incident or punching incident they may even step in and arrest players.
"Everyone has been left in no uncertain terms that in terms of behaviour, where the line is drawn."
When Rangers manager Ally McCoist was asked about the issue, a club press officer interrupted to say that it was not an issue for the manager to address.
When asked what Rangers would do to make this season a better one, given the violence surrounding Old Firm fixtures last year, McCoist said: "I didn't really see any violence at any Old Firm fixtures."
Asked if he was confident that there would not be the same spotlight on referees and off-field issues, he added: "Well it never was an issue with us to be fair."
Reputations are made on Old Firm days. Heroes are born. But off the pitch the fixture often leaves a trail of misery.
Many people are now determined to stamp it out. But many before them have tried and failed.
Belfast City Council said the building, at the junction of University Street and Ormeau Road, was bulldozed as a safety measure.
They said work had already been going on at the site and that a front wall was knocked down to make the area safe.
The Ormeau Road has now reopened.

The 25-year-old centre limped out of training on Thursday, but is expected to feature in Friday's captains' run.
"He ran into someone at training, simple as that," said head coach Eddie Jones, who initially joked Farrell had collided with the Australian's dog.
"He's in doubt but we will see. He should be right."
Victory for England over Scotland would give the defending Six Nations champions a record-equalling 18th consecutive win and put them one win away from a second straight Grand Slam.
"It's the oldest international fixture and it means a lot to both countries," said Jones.
"I feel honoured and humbled to be part of such a historic occasion. I treasure the experience."
Number eight Billy Vunipola has been named on the bench against Scotland after making his comeback from a knee injury last weekend.
Nathan Hughes will continue in the position in an unchanged England pack.
The backline shows three changes, with scrum-half Ben Youngs, centre Jonathan Joseph and wing Jack Nowell returning.
Loose-head prop Joe Marler will lead the team out on his 50th cap, while fit-again wing Anthony Watson also returns to the matchday squad.
"I congratulate Joe," Jones added. "I've coached a lot of good players and he is certainly one of the best. He is an honest and committed team man and a fine individual."
On Vunipola, he explained: "He's one of our best players, but he's not ready to start yet."
England's replacements have repeatedly salvaged games so far in the Six Nations and Jones admits he is unsure why his side have yet to start well.
"If I knew, I would fix it," he said. "But we have been ahead in the 80th minute - and that's all that counts."
After the fitful display against Italy, Jones says England have prepared to deliver their best performance of the Championship against Scotland.
"We have varied [the preparation] up a bit, we have changed the way we have trained considerably," he said.
"The intensity of training has improved, we are moving towards our best performance. We are in excellent condition."

Their survival rates for cancers such as leukaemia are much lower than in younger children, says a report in the Lancet Oncology.
The researchers suggest differences in tumours, delays in diagnosis and treatment and a lack of clinical trials for that age group are to blame.
Cancer Research UK said it was crucial to find out what was going wrong.
The study analysed data from 27 countries on nearly 57,000 childhood cancers and 312,000 cancers in teenagers and young adults.
Overall, five-year survival rates were higher in teenagers and young adults at 82% compared with 79% in children.
But those better prospects were largely driven by the older age-group getting cancers with a better prognosis.
The overall rate concealed areas of concern where survival was "significantly worse" for eight cancers commonly found in both age groups.
The five-year survival rates for:
Dr Annalisa Trama, from The National Institute of Cancer in Milan, Italy said: "The good news is that the number of children, adolescents and young adults surviving for at least five years after diagnosis has risen steadily over time in Europe.
"However, we found that adolescents and young adults still tend to die earlier than children for several cancers common to these age groups, particularly blood cancers."
Dr Alan Worsley, from Cancer Research UK, said: "While it's great news that the number of children, teenagers and young adults surviving cancer continues to improve, it's also clear that for some cancers, survival in different age groups is improving faster than in others.
"We need to find out whether adolescents are faring worse because of how their cancer is managed in the clinic or whether it's because the underlying biology is fundamentally different at these ages.
"Answering these questions is a big part of the reason why we've launched the Cancer Research UK Kids and Teens campaign."
The man's green Thruxton bike was involved in a collision with a red Honda Civic on the A85 at Lix Toll at about 12:30 on Sunday.
The 53 year old was flown to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow by air ambulance, where he is in a serious condition.
The road between Crianlarich and Lochearnhead was closed for five hours.
The motorbike was travelling on the eastbound carriageway while the car was driving in the opposite direction.
The female driver of the car and her male passenger were not injured in the crash.
Sgt David Ross of the road policing unit in Stirling said: "Our inquiries into this incident are ongoing and as part of this effort we are appealing to members of the public - I would ask anyone who was travelling on the A85 and who saw these vehicles to please get in touch with police."
The 25-year-old is the latest player to leave the Bulls after the Championship side were closed down.
Clare began his career at Castleford before he joined Bradford in 2015.
"He's a guy with genuine pace and I know from speaking to many people that he will add to the culture we are looking to enhance again this year," said head coach Neil Jukes.

The forward seemed to struggle with cramp as he played the full 120 minutes of Real Madrid's Champions League final win against Atletico last Saturday.
But he has been training with Wales as they prepare for their Euro 2016 opener against Slovakia on 11 June.
"He won't be getting 90 minutes. He may get 30, he may get 45," said Coleman.

"If you go into things half-heartedly, that's when problems occur and you get injured.
"Balo will play a part, whether that is starting and not finishing or coming on.
"I wouldn't say he is putting me under pressure [to play]. He has had a tough season, a little time with injury. If he doesn't play 90 minutes tomorrow it doesn't matter."
Bale's involvement sets up the tantalising prospect of having the Real Madrid player on the pitch at the same time as Sweden's charismatic captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The former Barcelona striker is a free agent having left Paris St-Germain, for whom he scored 50 goals last season, and has been strongly linked with a move to Manchester United.
The 34-year-old will start against Wales and, although Coleman has not made any particular plans to contain Ibrahimovic, he is pleased to see him playing.
"As for Sweden, we picked the game for certain reasons," the former Fulham boss added.
"I'm glad to see they are going very strong. We knew it would be a tough test. There is no point in playing these games if you're guaranteed wins."
Coleman, who has signed a new deal to remain Wales boss, is not prepared to risk any of the players in his squad currently suffering with injuries.
Hal Robson-Kanu (leg) Joe Allen (knee) and Joe Ledley, who broke his leg on 7 May, will all be left out in Sweden.
However, Coleman believes the trio could all be available to play in Wales' first match in France.
"Neither Hal or Joe Allen will be risked, neither will Joe Ledley," he told BBC Wales Sport.
"But, all three are doing very well and it has been a good two weeks for them.
"Joe Ledley is a contender for Slovakia if he keeps progressing. We have given him every opportunity to be fit and a part of it.
"At the moment he looks very, very good."
Coleman said the send-off his squad were given by the public at Cardiff Airport was a timely reminder as to what it means to the Welsh public after 58 years without reaching a major finals.
"We need to savour this time, we worked so hard to be in this position," he said.
"We need to honour the jersey in this tournament. We don't fear anyone or anything and I know what these players are capable of.
"They are capable of great things and the reception we got leaving Cardiff, it made us feel a bit special.
"It gives you an incredible feeling of honour and pride and we need to do our country proud."

The 25-year-old wants to move to Anfield if he leaves St Mary's.
The £50m-rated Netherlands defender signed a new six-year contract last year, having joined Southampton from Celtic for £13m in September 2015.
Liverpool are yet to formally approach Saints to ask for permission to speak to Van Dijk.
The Reds refused to comment on renewed speculation on Monday, while Southampton are adamant they do not need to sell the defender.
Saints are irritated by what they see as an attempt to unsettle Van Dijk and are ready to reject an official offer.
Chelsea and Manchester City have both been heavily linked with the Dutchman, but City's interest has cooled as they are not prepared to pay as high a fee as Liverpool.
Former club Celtic are also understood to have a 10% sell-on agreement.
Van Dijk missed the final five months of the season after sustaining an ankle injury following a challenge by Leicester City's Jamie Vardy in Southampton's 3-0 win at St Mary's on 22 January.
It forced him to miss Southampton's EFL Cup final loss to Manchester United at Wembley.
Middlesex began the day on 290-6 and added 66 to their score thanks to a 55-run partnership between Toby Roland-Jones (39) and Ollie Rayner (26).
Carberry, dropped in the slips on 25 and hampered by a hand injury, struck 11 fours and a six and shared a stand of 93 with Sean Ervine (53).
The 36-year-old's gritty innings saw him through to stumps with Kyle Abbott.
Hampshire began the day looking to wrap up the reigning champions' first innings as quickly as possible and looked to be doing just that when Abbott (2-87) had James Franklin (19) caught by James Vince in the slips.
However, Roland-Jones and Rayner counter-attacked at a rate of five runs per over to help Middlesex to 349 before Roland-Jones drove Brad Wheal (4-98) to cover and Rayner missed a straight one from Dawson next ball.
The tail was quickly dismissed, allowing Carberry and Jimmy Adams (34) to make a solid start before Adams edged Rayner (2-46) to slip to end a 57-run opening partnership.
Vince was caught at second slip and Dawson fell just before tea, edging Rayner behind, but Carberry and Ervine regrouped with a good partnership over 26 overs in the final session.
Steven Finn broke the stand by bowling Ervine and should have had nightwatchman Abbott as well, only for gully fielder Sam Robson to drop a simple chance while celebrating.
Carberry will begin day three looking to complete his 36th first-class century and his first in the County Championship since returning from cancer treatment.
Overflow pipes into the sea and rivers are used to help stop flooding but the discharges are a problem for some living near the Burry Inlet, Llanelli.
Welsh Water said it was investing more in improvements from its profits.
But the UK government has been referred to the European Court of Justice for failing to ensure authorities in the UK treat urban waste water adequately.
Excessive spills from storm overflow pipes is affecting the Llanelli and Gowerton areas.
Occasionally, the stench and flooding from sewage leads to residents' complaints.
The problems stem from our Victorian sewers, engineering marvels for the time, but now out of date.
The pipes were designed to mix both sewage and rainwater but now with more housing developments and heavier storm waters from climate change there is more pressure than they can cope with.
Welsh Water has special overflow pipes - 3,000 around Wales - which act as relief valves to deal with the extra sewage and rainwater from gutters, drains and roads.
But these go straight into rivers and the sea.
2,200
hectares of saltmarsh - largest continuous area in Wales
20,000
waterfowl are supported
13,590 oystercatchers
35,000 wildbirds spend winter including curlew, godwit and shelduck
In the case of the Burry Inlet there are 14 overflow pipes which discharge into an area which is supposed to be protected by UK and European Union laws.
The special conservation area includes salt marshes and a habitat for tens of thousands of wild birds during the winter.
The local cockling industry has also been hit but Welsh Water claims this is not due to their discharges.
Now cases of sewage floating out to sea has grabbed the attention of EU officials and the UK has been asked to explain why it is failing to deal with urban waste water in 17 locations around its coast.
Llanelli councillor Bill Thomas has been battling the problem for over two decades.
"They're discharging into a sensitive body of water and nobody's dealt with that problem," he said.
Welsh Water is responsible for more than 18,500 miles (29,700km) of sewers and 800 sewage treatment works.
It said it complies with all its legal permits outlined by Europe and is also aiming to drastically reduce the number of discharges in the Burry inlet area by 2020.
Steve Wilson, waste water services manager, said it was about striking a balance between investing in improvements and keeping bills down.
He said £70m was being spent in the Swansea and Llanelli areas alone.
"We're going to be investing this five year period and on for the next 40-odd years to be able to 'climate change-proof' our network to the latest modern standards."
Mr Wilson apologised for smells from the Swansea water treatment works but he said £1m had been spent on odour control as part of its £13m on expansion.
He promised to get rid of the problem "within weeks".
Llanelli MP Nia Griffith is aware of worries over new houses being built on flood plains but argues the real issue is regulation.
Natural Resources Wales said it had worked closely with Welsh Water to ensure it had sufficient capacity for future housing developments in Carmarthenshire.
It also had a caseload of 10 prosecutions and 14 cautions against Welsh Water since April 2013.
Huwel Manley, operations manager, said it took action when Welsh Water "fall short of what's required" but it was also working with them on ground breaking projects to improve the sewage system.
This includes £15m in parts of Llanelli to separate rainwater from the sewers, soak-away gardens and areas to "hold" flood water.
The Securities and Exchange Commission is examining the accounting methods the company uses for Singles Day sales.
Last year's event generated record-breaking sales of more than $14bn for Alibaba's sites such as Taobao.
Singles Day, held every year on 11 November, is also referred to as Double Eleven because of its date.
Alibaba said in late May that the SEC had begun its investigation earlier this year.
Some merchants in China have questioned whether results from Singles Day, where consumers are offered big discounts, are as high as Alibaba has reported.
Last year's total exceeded the combined sales of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping events in the United States.
The SEC had told the company that its investigation did not mean it had breached any laws.
Former English teacher Jack Ma founded Alibaba, which floated on the New York Stock Exchange in September 2014. Its shares soared 38% on the first day of trading to $93.89, valuing the business at $231bn.
The stock fell below $60 in September last year, but has since recovered. Shares were 1.7% higher on Wednesday at $102.67 after Alibaba reported a better-than-expected 55% rise in revenue to $5.14bn for the three months to September, while net profit rose 41% to $1.94bn.
That was the second successive quarter of strong results, suggesting the company can still generate robust growth despite concerns about the Chinese economy slowing down as consumers curb spending.
Alibaba - by far China's biggest online retailer - said e-commerce sales rose 41% to $4.27bn compared with the same period last year.
Revenue from its digital media and entertainment division soared just over 300% to $541m, while the cloud computing unit posted a 130% rise in sales to $224m.
Daniel Zhang, chief executive, said the group saw "huge potential" in the newly integrated media business, which includes Youku, the third most popular online video site in China.
"By combining engaging online experiences with highly relevant content, we delivered impressive financial and operational results in the quarter," he said.
Maggie Wu, chief financial officer, said Alibaba expected the two divisions, along with its "innovation initiatives" unit, to "drive long-term value for both our customers and shareholders".
The company has also been seeking growth outside China as that market becomes increasingly saturated. It bought south-east Asian online retailer Lazada Group for about $1bn in May.
In December, 141 people were killed in a Taliban attack at the army-run school in the north-western city of Peshawar.
Qamar Rafiq from Help and Hope project said: "I'm sure in our first phase we would be able to reach up to 80 victims who were admitted into hospital."
Mr Rafiq will spend three months in Pakistan to oversee the provision of medicine and counselling to survivors.
In December the Help and Hope project launched a £15,000 appeal and, so far, half of this sum has been raised - enough to get the relief work started.
Many of the people shot and killed in the Taliban attacks were children.
"The parents have also got gun horror - their children were in the school and the parents were at their homes," said Mr Rafiq.
"Hearing the news of their children [being killed], they have gone into a state of trauma. They need some need post-traumatic stress relief."
Over the past year, the Church has given aid and counselling to victims of the 2013 suicide bombing of All Saints Church, which is near the school.
Some of the survivors of the church bombing will assist the core team of six medics.
Mr Rafiq said: "We also have some friends who had serious injuries from All Saints Church; they have healed now and they are in possession of good health.
"They are going to help with the relief activities and the monitoring of victims who are in hospital."
Mr Rafiq, a Pakistani national from Twerton, Bath is leaving for Pakistan later on Sunday.
The project was set up by the Rev Alan Bain of St Philip and St James churches in Bath.
Rabeni represented Fiji at the 2003 and 2007 World Cups and Premiership side Leicester between 2004-2009, before joining Leeds.
Nicknamed 'Rambo' because of his marriage of pace and brutal tackling, he also played in New Zealand and France and was a noted sevens exponent.
Fiji media reported Rabeni died at his home in Nausori, just outside the capital, Suva, on Tuesday.
The Fiji Village website said the cause of death was unknown but quoted his father-in-law as saying he had been "sick for a while".
Rabeni, who played as a centre or wing, is survived by his wife and two children.
"We are shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Seru Rabeni. Our thoughts go to all his friends and family," tweeted Leicester.
"Incredibly sad news to hear Seru Rabeni has passed away. Rest in peace big man," Fiji Sevens coach Ben Ryan tweeted.
Fiji-born former Wallaby Lote Tuqiri said Rabeni was "a great man taken away too young", while ex-Samoa centre Eliota Faumaono-Sapolu said Pacific rugby had lost one of its greats.
"Stunned! RIP Seru Rabeni," tweeted Faumaono-Sapolu. "Absolutely hated every minute playing against you constantly smashing and stepping me."
Scotland's James Hamilton, a former team-mate at Leicester, described Rabeni as "an incredible player and lovely man".
Issues including common agricultural policy, fisheries policy and structural funds were decided at EU level.
But scrutinising new policies would bring a "huge amount of work" she said.
She added a balance had to be struck between dealing with Brexit, and the day to day work of delivering services.
Ms Jones, the Plaid Cymru AM for Ceredigion, became presiding officer in May following the assembly election.
She told the Newyddion 9 programme: "The EU is part of so many differing aspects of the assembly's work - the common agricultural policy, fisheries policy, structural funds.
"We will have to create Wales only policies for these issues.
"It's important that the government is scrutinised fully, and that it includes the Welsh people and their priorities, when it comes to creating policies that were created at the European level, and that we now want to see being decided here in Wales.
"This will be a huge amount of work."
Ms Jones added: "I'm keen that the assembly strikes a good balance between the day to day matters, and the extra work it will have to keep an eye on over the next few years."
The Met Office said there was a risk of localised flooding as up to 5cm-7cm (2-3in) of rain is expected to fall.

In a corner of Philadelphia known locally as the Badlands, where some of the purest heroin in the country can be bought for just $5 a bag, a half-mile stretch of rail track has become a refuge for hundreds of heroin addicts. Next week the city will begin to clear out the tracks, but where will the users go?
At the top end of Gurney Street in Fairhill, Philadelphia, there's a dirt path that forks through some trees and winds behind an old car repair shop, down to the rail tracks below.
Follow the path and you'll find a makeshift shooting gallery under a bridge, where heroin addicts gather out of sight and the ground is a sea of used syringes, cookers and needle caps. Users stand around a wooden table to fix, tying on tourniquets and tapping in the crooks of their arms to bring up their veins. One man leans into a mirror to find a spot on his neck, carefully pushing a needle through the skin and rolling back into a chair, his eyes glazing over. Others line up along a long steel beam that forms part of the bridge, unwrapping fresh syringes and preparing to inject. For anyone too nervous, or too far gone, to find a vein, there's a man in a wooden shack a few metres away known as "the doctor", who will stick you for a dollar.
This is "El Campamento", the busiest and most built-up of a handful of hidden-away injection sites along a half-mile stretch of freight track between 2nd Street and Kensington Avenue. For more than 20 years homeless people and drug users have sought refuge in this gulch, and today there are about 70 people living along the tracks and up to 200 passing through every day to shoot up. As nightmarish as it feels, users here say it's a safe place, away from the police and the rest of the public, where people look out for each other and outreach workers visit regularly. Narcan - a nasal spray that reverses overdoses - is never far away.
But next week the city will begin to clear this stretch of track and force the users out. After months of negotiations between officials and rail company Conrail, contractors, guarded by police, will enter at the Kensington Avenue end and work their way up, disposing of an estimated 500,000 used needles, tearing down structures, and eventually paving over El Campamento and installing concrete rubble under the bridges to ward off new camps.
"If they push us up from here you're gonna have a bunch of junkies on the streets looking for somewhere else to shoot up," said Luis, a 41-year-old father-of-two with dark, matted hair and dull eyes, who asked us not to use his real name.
Luis wakes up every morning in a rickety wooden shack and spends his days, like the doctor, injecting other users. The fee is one dollar or one sixth of a heroin shot, and most people pay in heroin. Every six injections Luis can do a hit of his own. For 22 months he was clean, until his wife had a heart attack in the bath and drowned.
Perched on a concrete barrier on Gurney Street, he squinted against the sun, opening and closing a flick knife in one hand and letting a cigarette slowly burn away in the other. "I had everything," he said. "I had a beautiful life, I had a beautiful wife. In the blink of an eye it got took from me. That was a year and a week ago."
Days later he was down on the tracks. "At least down here you know you can get safe dope, you can get clean works, you can get high and nobody's gonna mess with you," he said. "If they board this up I have to start again. I have to find a new place I can lay my head at night where I don't have to sleep with one eye open."
Walking the half-mile length of track last week, person after person along the way said they would just find another hole in Kensington, the neighbourhood around the tracks, a place already gripped by poverty and overrun by heroin.
Kensington was once a vibrant industrial area that people came to from around Philadelphia in search of work. As the manufacturing trades died away, employment rates and house prices plummeted, homes were abandoned and boarded up and the drug trade moved in. Now people come to Kensington from around the city, state and country in search of heroin. The area is said to be the largest open-air drugs market on the East Coast.
On nearly every block on the short walk from Gurney Street to Hope Park, dealers call out their brands - "So Fly", "Caution", "Cowboy" - and empty packets stamped with logos litter the way. The heroin sold here is among the purest, cheapest, and most lethal in the US. It courses through the veins of the place, turning public parks, churches, abandoned houses and street corners into venues to shoot up.
Before the deal was struck to clear the tracks, the city cleared out McPherson Square, a small park on Kensington Avenue that had become a haunt for addicts. At the centre of the square is the local library, and when national media reported in May that librarians were being trained to revive overdosed users in the square - rechristened Needle Park by locals - it was enough. The drug users were driven out.
"Back in '70 this was a beautiful park," said Joe Grone, a 53-year-old who moved to the edge of McPherson Square more than 40 years ago. He was pricked in the ankle by a used needle as he walked through the park last year, as was his five-year-old granddaughter as she sat on their front steps. "This place should be for kids, not for needles," he said.
Now a large mobile police unit sits near the middle of McPherson Square and officers roll around the perimeter on bikes. Last week, children were running around again, jumping through a sprinkler and screaming with delight. Save for the odd syringe cap nestled in the grass, it was a happy afternoon in Needle Park.
But drug outreach workers here question where the users went. Shortly after the square was cleared, there were reports that an abandoned church on Westmoreland Street had become a haven for addicts. Police moved in to clear the church too, and in the sanctuary, Kate Perch, a housing co-ordinator for local outreach charity Prevention Point, found a young couple in the grip of addiction. They had fashioned a makeshift home around a mattress and hidden their belongings under the organ pipes. As the police waited, the couple discussed different abandoned row houses in the area, debating which were safe.
"That's a conversation which will keep happening in this neighbourhood," Ms Perch said. "McPherson has been cleared, Westmoreland has been cleared, now the tracks are about to get cleared. What happens to these people when that site is no longer available? Where will they go that is safe?"
The worry for people like Ms Perch is that vulnerable users will be pushed into the city's hundreds of abandoned houses - "abandos" - where it is too dangerous for outreach workers to go, where people will overdose and no one will see.
The city is already predicting a 30% increase in overdoses this year, for the second year running, taking the grim toll from 900 to 1,200 - four times the estimated number of murders. Fentanyl - a tranquiliser 50 to 100 times more powerful than heroin which has been linked to deaths across the country - has taken hold, infecting the supply of heroin that floods into Philadelphia from the ports.
"The dope that's out there now... it's fentanyl, it's elephant tranquiliser, it's rat poison, stuff like that," said James Russell, a 30-year-old local with a 15-year heroin habit, who shakily made a cup of instant coffee as he waited for a check-up at Prevention Point.
"The way a lot of the fiends are here now, you hear someone shot a bag of dope and overdosed and seven out of 10 people rush to go find that dope. It's insane."
Jose Ojeda flew to Philadelphia full of hope. He came as an addict, seeking first-class treatment in the heart of the city. That's what they told him in Puerto Rico. But like thousands of others who had made the flight before him, he was heading for one of the city's unlicensed recovery houses, where users are exploited for their benefits and many wash out into the street, ending up places like the tracks.
"I'm searching for help but it's impossible for me because I don't have papers," said Jose, looking away as he spoke across an empty lot by the tracks, his eyes bloodshot, skin rough and needle-marked, one hand tightly cramped against his will. His ID was stolen with his wallet while he was passed out, he said. He thinks a lot about his mother who died in Puerto Rico while he was in Philadelphia, and about his daughter and his granddaughter who are still there.
"I'm trapped here now with my worn-out hands. I don't know how to speak English, I go places to ask for help and they don't understand me. It pushes me to drugs," he said.
Without ID he can't get treatment and he can't get home. At 42, he's stuck in Kensington, a long way from home, with a heroin habit he can't shake.
Even with ID, the barriers to treatment in Philadelphia are high. The city has an estimated 70,000 active heroin users and fewer than 15,000 treatment options at any given time, adding every different type together. The Housing-First programme will put a roof over the head of users without demanding they are clean, but there are currently fewer than 40 slots available in the Kensington area for about 400 homeless people.
The city has pledged an additional $250,000 to supportive housing and is planning a three-day "resources fair" on an empty lot on Gurney Street, to coincide with the track closure, but police will be in attendance and mistrust among users is endemic. Even if there were treatment options here for everyone, many in the grip of addiction are simply unwilling or unable to seek them.
"Addiction is a stigma driven disease in this country," said Roland Lamb, deputy commissioner at the city's Department of Behavioural Health and Intellectual Disability Services (DBHIS). "A person who is addicted only has about a one in 10 chance of getting the treatment they need."
DBHIS is working with city-funded outreach groups like Prevention Point, in an attempt to engage with users before the track clearout. The charity began life 25 years ago as an underground needle exchange and two years ago moved into an old brownstone Methodist church in the heart of Kensington, a few blocks from the tracks. Hundreds of users travel to the building from all corners of the neighbourhood and beyond, for a check-up, a pack of clean needles or just a chat, and for a few hours every day the old church has a congregation of sorts.
"This place is a blessing," said Laura, a 41-year-old regular who endured 15 years of homelessness, drug addiction and prostitution before getting clean and finding a place in shelter. "When I first came here I was deep in my addiction," she said. "They save lives here every day."
But not everyone is grateful. Prevention Point has faced resistance from local officials and residents, who say it draws addicts to the area. The clean needles they give out undoubtedly save lives - HIV infections from drug use in the city have dropped from 50% to just 5% since the charity began its work - but some people were putting them to use immediately on the streets outside the building.
Jose Benitez is executive director at Prevention Point. "The community's approach is 'we don't want this in our neighbourhood', the city's approach 'oh my god something must be done'," he said. "The trick is, what's the something?"
As word spread that the tracks would be cleared, fear and anger began to surface in local Facebook groups. Philadelphia should "start executing drug dealers on the spot", wrote one resident. "Better solution, if someone comes into an emergency room full of heroin, let them DIE," wrote another. "DEAD IS BEST," someone replied.
The aggression worried Dan Martino, co-founder of a local grassroots group, Philadelphia Overdose Prevention Initiative (Popi). On the second Wednesday in June, Mr Martino went to Mick's Inn, a narrow, wood-panelled corner bar in Port Richmond, next to Kensington, where 30 or so local residents had gathered to discuss what would happen when the tracks were purged. After an hour or so of listening, he stood up to speak.
He asked the residents if they would be interested in a solution which would lower the death rate by 30%. They murmured yes. He asked if they would like to see lower crime rates and needles off the streets and they agreed. Then he said he was talking about safe injection sites, and the atmosphere in the room turned. Two women stormed out. When the meeting spilled into the street Mr Martino approached one of them. Her daughter had died of an overdose, and she told Mr Martino she would shoot him if she found he was giving addicts a place to inject.
For some people around these neighbourhoods, safe injection sites - where users can test their drugs and inject in the presence of medical staff - are the last remaining hope. To others, they are unthinkable - a final nail in the coffin for a neighbourhood killed by heroin.
"When I first started advocating for this there was a wall of resistance. People who would yell at me like I've never been yelled at by adult," Mr Martino said. "But these people are going to use one way or the other. That's just the reality we live in. We live in a world of heroin. Until we can find a way to stop it coming in from the ports, this is what we have to do."
The woman who threatened to shoot him was Kathleen Costello Berry, a lifelong Port Richmond local whose daughter overdosed at just 17 and was left in a hospital parking lot to die. "I just had to leave, I couldn't even listen to him speak," she recalled.
"I lost my daughter. If anyone had dared to tell me she could come somewhere safe to shoot up and we'll keep an eye on her…" She trailed off, her voice cracking. "No. No way. There is no safe way to shoot poison into your veins."
There are no safe injection sites in America, yet. As the nation's opioid epidemic spirals, several major cities, including Seattle, San Francisco, and New York, are beginning to consider taking the leap, but there is fierce political resistance to the idea.
There is one such site in Canada though, in Vancouver, and statistics suggest it has stemmed the tide of dead bodies there. More than 700 injections take place every day in 13 mirrored booths and no one has died at the facility since it opened in 2003. The clinic estimates that it has prevented 5,000 fatal overdoses. But the then-Conservative government fought it all the way to the Supreme Court.
In Philadelphia, a new opioid task force will "further explore" the possibility, said a spokesman for Mayor James Kenney, citing "serious legal, practical, and law enforcement issues that have to be considered" first.
Some local officials remain opposed. "It's taken a long time for us to hit rock bottom here," said Maria Quinones Sanchez, councilwoman for the city's 7th district, which encompasses Kensington. "Do we want to now send a message that you can come here and buy the cheapest drugs available and then actually have a place to use them?"
But the current strategy - clearing out one park, church, or railway gulch and pushing people to the next - doesn't appear to be working. It has created a grim merry-go-round in Kensington that threatens to cause yet more lonely deaths. Consumed by addiction, and unready for treatment, most people along the tracks will continue to slip through the net.
"Heroin is what's killing people, but not giving people the opportunity to say help me, not giving people the opportunity to seek treatment - that keeps them in the basement, it keeps them in places like the tracks," said Mr Martino.
"These people don't want to die, despite their best efforts. They don't want to live like this."
Down at the tracks last week, life was going on as usual. After so many delays, few people seemed to believe that the bulldozers would really roll through. But the rail company's deadline to start work is the end of the month, and the city has had enough.
Luis was still injecting people and getting high off the profits, enough to dull the pain of the anniversary, a few days earlier, of his wife's death. He couldn't see a way out.
"I'll just try and break through the fence and come back in," he said. "I ain't got no place else to go. It's here or nowhere."
A few feet away under the bridge, by the fixing table, another user, Manuel, shifted his weight from foot to foot and stared off into the distance, pushing a baseball cap absent-mindedly up and down his forehead. He recalled doing his first hit ever of heroin, years ago, by the tracks. "This is where I started, it's the only place I've ever come to," he said. "If this place wasn't here maybe it would be easier for me to stop.
"It's like my legs carry me here by themselves. If they close down these tracks, I dunno. I hope my legs take me somewhere better."
A Freedom of Information request found that out of 202 people who received help from the Independent Living Fund (ILF), 107 have had their packages reduced since last year.
Of those, 16 had it cut by half.
The council said it was still spending all £2.8m of the funding passed to it by government on disabled people.
The ILF was closed down in June last year and the government did not tell councils to ring-fence this year's money for people who had received support from it.
Rachel Lockhart, from Kirkby Stephen, who has learning difficulties, has had her caring hours cut from 35 per week to 22.5, according to her mother, Laura.
"To be quite honest I thought it was all about saving money rather than looking at what Rachel's needs were," Ms Lockhart said.
"My concern is that as the county council budget tightens, then this money will be reduced. If it is reduced anymore, it will have a real impact on her well-being. I feel very angry."
Labour county councillor Beth Furneaux said it was not the case that the authority was trying to push down people's care packages.
She said recipients had been assessed by social workers once the council took responsibility for the funding.
She said: "I'm operating in a council which is having to make £238m of cuts. The money is still being spent on people with disabilities. We're operating in the context of trying to ensure we can protect the most vulnerable."
She said that 38 people had had their care funding increased since the ILF closed.
The government said local communities were better placed to make decisions around providing funding at a local level, and was committing the devolved money until at least 2020. The ILF provided support for 18,000 people nationally and was worth £320m.

The Independent Living Fund was set up to do what it says on the tin - to allow people with disabilities to live independently.
It went through various changes in its history, and eligibility criteria was tightened as it became more popular.
Eventually it stopped taking new applicants in 2010 and despite protests and legal challenges, it was closed even for existing users last year.
The money has now been devolved to councils, but this is expected to dwindle over the years. Local authorities, who've also seen other forms of funding cut, have a real challenge in maintaining people's care.

Tries from Tohu Harris and Sam Moa put the Kiwis 10-0 ahead before scores from Josh Hodgson and Brett Ferres ensured the opening half finished 12-12.
England took control after the break with a penalty from Gareth Widdop and a converted Ferres try making it 20-12.
Skipper Sean O'Loughlin barged over late on as gutsy England took victory.
England's recent encounters with New Zealand have been a story of heartbreaking near misses.
They lost 16-14 in the Four Nations last year a week after a narrow 16-12 reverse against Australia.
And it was even more painful in 2013 when the Kiwis snatched a dramatic 20-18 World Cup semi-final victory over Steve McNamara's team at Wembley, with Shaun Johnson kicking the decisive goal with the last action of the match.
In fact, McNamara had won only one of nine meetings against the Kangaroos and the Kiwis going into Sunday's encounter.
But against a Kiwi side fielding an inexperienced half-back pairing of Peta Hiku and Tuimoala Lolohea but a strong pack, England recovered from a poor start to deservedly win at the KC Stadium.
"We wanted to start well, put in good performance, and this this is something for us to build on," said man of the match Ferres.
Harris could have been forgiven for feeling especially delighted when he ran towards the corner for the first try of the series.
The 23-year-old was in the original squad to travel to England compete in the 2013 World Cup, but missed out when Sonny Bill Williams had a change of heart and decided to compete in the tournament.
Harris abruptly found himself jettisoned and Williams, currently in the news after he gave away his union World Cup winner's medal to a young fan shortly after the All Blacks' triumph on Saturday, apologised to the unlucky Melbourne Storm man.
The forward's try came during a flat start to the Test by McNamara's team. They were also powerless to prevent Moa, back at the stadium where he used to play for Hull FC, charging over close to the posts as the away side opened up a 10-0 lead.
And there was a hint of fortune when England finally got on the board, with the ball striking Zak Hardaker's knee and looping up for Hodgson to burst across the line.
New Zealand seemed to possess more punch and cutting edge during a fairly scratchy opening 40 minutes - with Jesse Bromwich and Adam Blair ensuring their powerful pack were in the ascendancy.
Stephen Kearney's side appeared to be heading towards a potential 12-point advantage when Jordan Kahu crossed just after the half-hour mark after Roger Tuivasa-Sheck showed incredible speed to burst through the defensive line before passing to his team-mate.
However, that try was ruled out by the video referee for a supposed obstruction on George Williams during the build up. England immediately went down to the other end of the field and scored when Ferres collected a brilliant flat pass from Williams. A scoreline that could easily have been 18-6 was instead 12-12 at the break.
Sam Burgess might have had a tough time as part of England's disappointing rugby union World Cup campaign, but his younger brother Tom was immense as England took control in the second half.
Burgess made countless rampaging runs as England scored 14 unanswered points during the second half as England showed a desire and intensity largely absent in the opening 40 minutes.
"Tom Burgess was incredible," said McNamara afterwards. "I wouldn't say he was unstoppable but they found it very difficult to deal with him in attack, and defensively he was really strong as well."
Ferres spun over for his second try and O'Loughlin came off better after a meaty collision with Adam Blair as the Wigan man put the icing on the cake late on.
England coach Steve McNamara: "In the first half we put ourselves under a lot of pressure, we looked out of sorts. But we started to come back towards the back end of the half, that really set ourselves up for the second and we finished the game very strongly.
"I had to support the players' feelings at half-time. Physically we weren't in the game and we needed to change that. Thankfully we did.
"There is lots to work on for next week, both teams can perform a lot better than that. These are tough games though, and with only a six-day turnaround, recovery is the number one priority right now."
New Zealand coach Stephen Kearney: "In the second half we didn't execute what we wanted to. That was the disappointing thing, but England put a lot of pressure on us. They did a great job in defence.
"We've got plenty of improvement in us though. We had a couple of opportunities we didn't take as well as we could have done, but we move to next week.
"England were marvelous tonight, and we've got a really tough challenge ahead of us."
The two teams meet again next Saturday at the Olympic Stadium in London (14:30 GMT). Although there is a long tradition of international rugby league being played in London, it will be the first time that the venue for the 2012 Olympics has been used for a league fixture.
England: Zak Hardaker, Joe Burgess, John Bateman, Kallum Watkins, Ryan Hall, Gareth Widdop, George Williams, James Graham, Josh Hodgson, Chris Hill, Elliott Whitehead, Liam Farrell, Sean O'Loughlin (captain).

Schalk Brits saw red on the half-hour mark for a punch on Nick Wood, leaving Saracens temporarily with 13 men, Brad Barritt having been sin-binned earlier.
The hosts led 13-6 at the break, Ben Ransom grabbing an early Saracens try.
James Hook kicked all of Gloucester's points while Charlie Hodgson's six penalties helped Saracens bounce back from last week's big defeat by Wasps.
The win moves Sarries eight points clear at the top of the table, with second-placed Exeter Chiefs facing London Irish at the Madejski Stadium on Sunday.
Saracens boss Mark McCall wanted a reaction from his side following that record loss, and full-back Ransom was the man to deliver with a try inside four minutes, chipping over the defence before gathering in space to score.

It was an ideal start by a north London side that included Scotland centre Duncan Taylor, who returned to club duties during the Six Nations break, although McCall was still without seven England internationals, including George Kruis, Billy and Mako Vunipola and Owen Farrell.
A Barritt tip tackle on Ross Moriarty saw the hosts reduced to 14 men as he was sin-binned and, after Hook and Hodgson traded penalties, Saracens had Brits sent off.
Hook reduced the deficit from the tee, but Hodgson ensured the defending champions took a seven-point lead into the break with his second three-pointer.
Saracens lost scrum-half Richard Wigglesworth and prop Rhys Gill to injury late in the first half, but drove forward and piled pressure on Gloucester after the interval.
The Cherry and Whites did well to resist and leave Hodgson opting to slot over another penalty. All the visitors could do at the other end was line Hook up for another penalty of his own.

While Hodgson's boot delivered the win, an immense display by the Saracens pack - including replacement prop Juan Figallo, who raced to the game following the birth of his child earlier in the day - proved the difference in the gritty win.
Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall:
"Schalk has obviously struck him on the head, but if you look at the incident, then Schalk's knee is trapped as Nick Wood clears him out.
"Schalk is almost frightened and is trying to get him off him as quickly as he can. He did the ACL on that knee last November so there was a bit of fear there. He swung to get the player off.
"That was probably our best win of the season after what happened last weekend. It takes the wind out of your sails when you lose a player like that. We'd already done 10 minutes without Brad Barritt and were then playing into the wind in the second half.
"It was a phenomenal effort from everybody, most particularly from our forwards."
Gloucester director of rugby David Humphreys:
"No one is pleased with that performance. We're very disappointed with the scoreline.
"For me, it felt like watching Gloucester 15-18 months ago. Our set-piece creaked, we lacked discipline in an 18-8 penalty count. You'll never win at Allianz Park with that many penalties.
"Saracens, with 14 men, found a way to win the game and that's why they're a championship team."
Saracens: Ransom; Ellery, Taylor, Barritt (capt), Wyles; Hodgson, Wigglesworth; Gill, Brits, Du Plessis, Smith, Hamilton, Rhodes, Fraser, Wray.
Replacements: Saunders, Lamositele, Figallo, Burger, Brown, Spencer, Mordt, Bosch.

Joe Copson, who was passing through the area, shot the footage on Saturday as police were called in to deal with three cows on the loose near the A140 Ipswich Road.
Two cows were shot dead by police marksmen in the "interests of public safety", a police spokesman said. A third was found dead soon afterwards, but it is not yet known how it died.
Giuseppe Rossi, who played alongside Neville at Manchester United, scored the only goal of the game when he volleyed in from Juanfran's long throw.
Valencia's Sofiane Feghouli had a shot saved by Levante goalkeeper Diego Marino and later curled an effort wide.
Neville has now won only three of 15 La Liga games and Valencia are 12th, eight points above the relegation zone.
The 41-year-old former England international was appointed in December, on a contract until the end of the season, but has struggled in his first managerial role.
Valencia are on course for their worst league finish since they came 14th in La Liga in 1987-88 and are fewer points away from the relegation zone than a top-six place that would secure European football next season.
Indeed, Neville's team face a vital match on Thursday as they look to overturn a 1-0 deficit when they host Athletic Bilbao in the second leg of their last-16 Europa League tie.
For Levante, this was a deserved victory as they restricted their visitors to only one shot on target for their sixth league win of the season.
Rossi hit the post in the first half and Valencia goalkeeper Diego Alves also made fine saves from Deyverson and Zouhair Feddal.
But Rossi got in front of marker Shkodran Mustafi to steer Juanfran's long throw-in into the bottom corner to earn the victory.
Her party won a clear majority, but many seats were not contested by the opposition who demanded a neutral caretaker government to oversee voting.
The new cabinet was also sworn in, during a televised ceremony in Dhaka.
The international community has called for a re-run of the election amid fears of more unrest.
At least 18 people were killed and more than 100 polling stations set on fire on election day, which saw Ms Hasina's Awami League party win a predictable majority.
After being sworn in, Ms Hasina, who also led the country from 1996 to 2001, said she would work to uphold democracy.
The opposition has vowed to continue their protest and has called for a blockade of roads, rail and waterways to put pressure on the government.
The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) led a nationwide 48-hour strike during the election after its leader Khaleda Zia urged supporters to "completely boycott" what she called a "scandalous farce" of an election.
Ms Zia was absent from the swearing-in ceremony at the presidential house, where President Abdul Hamid swore in 29 cabinet ministers and 19 deputies.
Some supporters were left bloodied while younger fans were left in tears.
Millwall FC said it could not "allow the actions of a mindless minority" to undermine the club's efforts to lose its reputation for hooliganism.
The Football Association said it deplored the "unacceptable" scenes.
The fans were arrested for offences including affray, possession of an offensive weapon, Class A drug possession, ticket touting and assault on police.
Twelve were Millwall fans while two were Wigan supporters.
The BBC's chief football writer Phil McNulty said the violence - the first significant trouble at the new Wembley stadium since it opened in 2007 - took place in the closing stages in several areas of Millwall's allocated end.
He said it was a shameful day for Millwall, whose fans made up about 32,000 of the crowd of 62,335, as an increasingly tense atmosphere built up throughout the second half before trouble flared.
Police and stewards moved in to try to stem the violence - witnessed by millions on TV - but it took some time to restore a measure of control.
Millwall chief executive Andy Ambler said in a statement: "Our position is clear - anyone associated with our club found guilty of violent behaviour will be banned indefinitely from Millwall matches in addition to any punishment they receive from the authorities."
He added: "At this stage we are still in the process of establishing the full details of what happened in a section of the ground during the second half.
"When we have those facts at our disposal and the police have completed their investigations we may be in a position to comment further."
Millwall manager Kenny Jackett said he had not been aware of "any fighting".
"I promise you, I wasn't aware of it during the game," he said in a post-match interview.
Told that children were carried crying out of the stadium, he said: "I am very sorry if that is the case."
Club captain Danny Shittu said it was "sad to hear about these things happening on a day like today".
"Things like that shouldn't be going on - it should be a great day for both sides."
FA general secretary Alex Horne said: "We will look to ensure those involved are identified and we would call for criminal charges and a football banning order to be brought against them."
Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan told BBC Radio 5 live he understood why Millwall fans "want to fall out with the visiting team, but why would they fall out amongst themselves?".
"It just gives football a very, very poor reputation.
"We know Millwall are a tough club, their team's tough to play.
"But don't fight each other. I couldn't understand that."
The pets "exhibited symptoms of sudden collapse, fitting, widespread twitching and general unsteadiness" the firm said, after consuming the biscuits from their range aimed at senior and neutered cats.
The level of thiamine (vitamin B1) in the cat food was much lower than the recipe specified.
Pets at Home said customers would be given a full refund.
"An investigation has revealed that, in the four affected products, the level of thiamine (vitamin B1) was much lower than we had specified," the company said in a statement.
It added that the symptoms displayed by the three cats identified were "not the classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency".
The product being recalled is dried food or "kibble" designed for older cats and neutered cats kept indoors. The rest of the AVA range was safe to use, the company said. The AVA range is manufactured in the UK and sold exclusively at Pets at Home.
The Food Standards Agency, which is also responsible for pet food labelling, said a notification had been sent to vets to alert them to "the atypical symptoms potential for thiamine deficiency".
A spokesperson for Pets at Home, Brian Hudspith, said it was important to alert vets as well as customers because thiamine deficient cats would usually present with quite different symptoms, including stiff limbs and the head falling onto the sternum.
"Rather than the more typical cervical ventroflexion (head falling onto the chest) associated with thiamine deficiency, in the three cases we saw the predominant clinical signs included sudden collapse, fitting, widespread twitching and general unsteadiness on their legs, which began suddenly after 4-6 weeks of being on the diet," he said.
The three cats identified are all stable and recovering, he said.
The company advised customers to dispose of the contents and return the packaging to Pets at Home stores for a refund.
In a widely expected announcement, he said on state TV he was appearing "in my military uniform for the last time".
Field Marshal Sisi led the overthrow of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in July after mass opposition protests.
Correspondents say he is likely to win the presidency, given his popularity and the lack of any serious rivals.
By Orla GuerinBBC News, Cairo
Abdul Fattah al-Sisi has surprised no-one by announcing his farewell to arms. His exit from Egypt's military was carefully choreographed over a period of months.
In or out of uniform he will be viewed as the military's man. Just three years after the revolution - which was supposed to end decades of military rule - Egypt's generals are again supplying the country's leader.
The softly spoken former intelligence chief - with no combat experience - will now have to fight on several fronts. He will inherit a bitterly divided nation, a crippled economy and a growing insurgency.
Diplomatic sources say he is a reluctant candidate who is well aware of the pitfalls ahead. One problem he won't have is winning.
Sisi enjoys huge support, and so far has no serious challengers. Some potential candidates have refused to run saying the opposition can't campaign freely and the election will be a farce.
Analysts warn that Sisi's strong support could wane if he can't make progress fast.
To his supporters, the 59-year-old former army chief is a saviour who can end the political turmoil dogging Egypt since 2011 when a popular uprising ended Hosni Mubarak's three decades of one-man rule.
But his opponents hold him responsible for what human rights groups say are widespread abuses, and fear that he wants a return to authoritarianism.
His announcement came hours after Egypt's interim authorities ordered the prosecution of 919 suspected Islamists and days after 528 were sentenced to death in a separate case.
In his address, Field Marshal Sisi told Egyptians he first wore his military uniform as a 15-year-old cadet and said: "I will always be proud of wearing the uniform of defending my country."
But he said he was answering "the demand of a wide range of Egyptians who have called on me to run for this honourable office".
He warned of an "extremely difficult task" ahead for Egyptians as the country faces up to its "economic, social, political and security realities", including a threat "by the terrorists".
But he proposed "hard work and self-denial". "If I am granted the honour of the leadership," he said, "I promise that we together, leadership and people, can achieve stability, safety and hope for Egypt".
The starting date of the nomination process for the presidential election will reportedly be announced on Sunday, after which no changes may be made to the electoral roll.

Joy, anger and mockery greet announcement
Sisi announcement
The government has yet to set a date for the vote, although earlier this month al-Ahram newspaper cited interim President Adly Mansour as saying that it would be completed by 17 July.
Leftist politician Hamdeen Sabahi, who came third in the 2012 election, is the only other candidate to have declared his intention to run.
Gen Sedki Sobhi, the current chief-of-staff of the armed forces, is expected to be named Field Marshal Sisi's successor.
If Abdul Fattah al-Sisi becomes president, he will be the latest in a line of Egyptian rulers drawn from the military; a line only briefly broken during Islamist President Morsi's year in office.
Mr Morsi appointed Field Marshal Sisi as both military commander-in-chief and defence minister in August 2012 - a move seen at the time as an attempt to reclaim power from the military, which had assumed interim control after President Mubarak's fall.
But following mass protests a year later demanding the resignation of Mr Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood-led government, it was Field Marshal Sisi who told the leadership to respond to "the will of the people" or risk army intervention.
When Mr Morsi refused, Field Marshal Sisi suspended the constitution and announced the formation of a technocratic interim government.
Since then, more than 1,000 people have been killed and thousands of members of Mr Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood have been detained in a crackdown by the interim authorities, who have designated the Islamist movement a terrorist group.
Mr Morsi and many other senior Brotherhood leaders are currently being tried on a variety of charges, including incitement to murder and conspiring to commit terrorist acts.
The Quilliam Foundation and the Romeo Dallaire Child Soldiers Initiative say children are taught extreme values and desensitised to violence from birth.
They believe the current rehabilitation strategy will be inadequate for them.
Instead, they propose a new process to assess the level of radicalisation and a network to monitor reintegration.
A US-led multinational coalition is seeking to drive IS out of the large parts of Syria and Iraq it controls, where an estimated eight million people live.
Researchers found that IS saw children as critical not only to meeting the present needs of the group, but also securing its long-term survival.
The current generation of IS fighters see children as better and more lethal fighters than themselves because they have not been corrupted by exposure to other values or ideologies.
"Schools and the education system are central to shaping the hearts and minds of the next generation," the report says.
"The indoctrination that begins in schools intensifies in training camps, where children between the ages of 10 and 15 are instructed in Sharia [Islamic law], desensitised to violence, and are taught specific skills to best serve the state and take up the banner of jihad."
Boys adhere to a rigid curriculum, where drawing, history, philosophy and social studies - considered by IS to be "the methodology of atheism" - have been removed. They must instead memorise verses of the Koran and attend "jihadist training", which includes shooting weaponry, and martial arts.
Girls are veiled and taught how to cook, clean and support their future husbands.
Having attended IS schools and training camps, boys are allocated roles, including those of spies, preachers, frontline soldiers, executioners and suicide bombers.
The report says new approaches will be required to help children who return or escape from IS recover from the severe physical and mental trauma they will have suffered, as well as systematic extremist indoctrination.
It warns that the traditional model of child soldiers that child protection agencies work with does not adequately address the significant religious or political indoctrination employed by IS.
Their programmes tend to focus on immediate physical health needs and on average last less than three months, which the report says is too short to genuinely address psychosocial needs, or fully address deradicalisation.
The report says that an assessment of each child's unique situation and needs is a crucial first component to successful and safe reintegration.
The "construction of re-education procedures that focus on debunking the credibility of Islamic State ideology, and replacing these narratives with positive alternatives" will also be required.
The report also warns that one of the main obstacles to the successful reintegration for IS child soldiers will be stigmatisation, as many will be perceived as "willing participants" despite having been abducted or pressured to join out of fear.
Countering this, it says, will require programmes that provide support to the children long after the initial demobilisation.
He told BBC Radio 5 live he had "used words I wouldn't normally have used".
His comments came after Germany appeared to rule out David Cameron's plan to limit EU arrivals in the UK.
Labour called the remark "desperate", while the Liberal Democrats said they were "not based on the facts".
Speaking in the House of Commons, Prime Minister David Cameron said Mr Fallon had been "absolutely right" to correct himself.
"It is right for politicians to raise concerns about immigration but we should always choose our language carefully," he told MPs. "He said this morning he wished he had chosen his language in a different way and I agree with that."
The prime minister made the comments in an update to Parliament about last week's EU leaders' summit, during which the UK was told it must pay an extra £1.7bn to the 28-member group. Mr Cameron has refused to do so.
The European Commission has argued the contribution revisions were calculated by independent statisticians using a standard formula agreed by all member states.
Mr Cameron's Conservative Party is facing a difficult by-election in Rochester and Strood, Kent, called after one of its MPs, Mark Reckless, defected to the anti-EU UK Independence Party.
Mr Cameron faced tough questions from Conservative MPs over immigration when he spoke in the Commons.
Official figures published in August showed UK net migration - the difference between those entering and leaving - went up by more than 38% to 243,000 in 2013-14, with EU citizens accounting for two-thirds of the growth.
It has been reported the UK could seek to apply an "emergency brake" to stop EU migration after it reached a certain level or to limit the number of National Insurance numbers issued to new arrivals.
Speaking to the Sunday Times, German Chancellor Angela Merkel appeared to rule this out, saying there could not be "tampering" with the EU principle of free movement of people.
This prompted Mr Fallon to say parts of the UK felt "under siege" from migrant workers and overseas benefit claimants and that some could be "swamped".
Labour and the Liberal Democrats criticised the comments and a government source said: "He accepts he should have chosen his words better."
Mr Fallon confirmed this, telling BBC Radio 5 live: "I misspoke yesterday, I used words I wouldn't normally have used."
Speaking to the BBC News Channel, he added: "I was a little careless in the words I used yesterday. I accept that.
"What I meant was there's huge pressure on the system now, on schools, housing and social services."
For Labour, shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander said Mr Fallon's claim that communities were being "swamped" reflected "the desperation of the Conservative Party". "You have got to be responsible always in the language that you use around issues of immigration," he told Sky News.
Lib Dem Energy Secretary Ed Davey said: "I've worked with Michael Fallon and I really respect him but I think those comments are more based on the Conservative concerns of the UKIP threat in the Rochester by-election than they are based on the facts."
Mr Cameron also faced questions over the European Arrest Warrant, ensuring the quicker transfer of criminal suspects between EU nations, when he speaks.
Some Conservative MPs argue the UK should reject it, arguing it undermines the national sovereignty over justice, but the government says it is vital to ensure terrorists, sexual offenders and murderers are dealt with promptly.
The Commons is expected to vote on the issue at about the time of the Rochester and Strood by-election, with Mr Cameron possibly facing a rebellion from his own MPs.
Airlines were among the big fallers, with Air France and British Airways owner IAG down 5% and 3% respectively. French hotel group Accor lost 5%.
Stock markets in the US, London and Frankfurt all closed up after recovering from early falls.
But in Paris the Cac 40 index finished down 0.08%.
The price of gold rose 1% as investors sought the safety of traditional havens.
On Wall Street, all of the three main indexes eventually ended the day over 1% higher.
"Markets are slowly becoming more and more immune to these types of events," said ohn Brady, managing director at R.J.O'Brien & Associates.
Many analysts had forecast that travel and leisure shares would be the big losers on Monday as markets got their first chance to react to Friday's attacks.
Eurotunnel Group, operator of the Channel Tunnel rail link, fell 3%. Aeroports de Paris, the operator of Paris' Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports, was almost 4% lower, while LVMH and Gucci-owner Kering fell nearly 1%.
Budget airline Easyjet fell about 3% in early trading, but closed 0.39% down. Ryanair also fell around 3% in the morning, and closed 1.43% lower.
"In a sign of resilience, there is no sign of the panicked trading that could have been justifiably expected from the European indices," noted Spreadex trader Connor Campbell.
The tourism sector accounts for about 7.5% of French GDP.
"These Paris terrorist attacks and the larger scale of this attack could have a meaningful negative impact on the travel and tourism sector," Robert T Lutts, president and chief investment officer at Cabot Wealth Management, told the Reuters news agency.
"It is possible this could cause investors to take a bit more cautious stance on the higher-risk sectors of the markets."
Hidenori Suezawa, financial market and fiscal analyst at SMBC Nikko Securities, added: "Given that France has a big tourism industry, there may be some damage to the economy if this leads to a fall in visitors to France, or in tourism in general after the crash of a Russian plane."
A decline in tourism in Europe could also weaken the euro, analysts warned. But the currency held relatively steady on Monday, and was up 0.019% against the dollar and down 0.55% against sterling.
French air strikes against IS bases in Syria led to concerns about oil supplies. The price of Brent crude was down 2% to $43.59 a barrel.
But many analysts believe the wider economic impact of the Paris shootings will be short-lived.
"As horrific as these events are - and this is truly awful - economic activity does tend to be pretty resilient. At the end of the day, people have to get on with their lives," said Howard Archer, an economist at IHS Global Insight.
Unfortunately in India's case, the lack of it - not just for individuals but also for small enterprises - has been a big hurdle to unlocking its economic potential.
But there are signs that things are changing on that front.
After announcing a plan to provide bank accounts to some 480 million Indians who have little or no access to financial services, last year, India's government has now unveiled a new bank aimed at providing loans to small business entities with little access to funding.
The latest initiative looks to tap into micro-finance, a financial service that has previously been successful in India.
The new bank, with the acronym MUDRA (Micro Units Development and Refinance Agency), will be responsible for refinancing micro-finance institutions that lend to small entities.
It will have an initial corpus of 200bn rupees ($3.2bn; £2.1bn) and is expected to benefit 58 million small businesses across the country.
It is a great initiative, as small businesses in the country have generally found it difficult to get funding. Helping these businesses get access to finance is key not just to their growth, but also of the overall economy.
Small businesses in India are major source of employment, providing jobs to nearly 120 million people. If given proper access to funding and a chance to expand, they can create more job opportunities.
That will translate into more people having a regular income and contributing to India's domestic consumption and growth. Not to mention, increased revenues for the government in the form of taxes from businesses as well as employees.
To put it in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's words: The strength that small business "give the economy is one of its most overlooked secrets".
While the initial noise around the initiative is encouraging, its overall success will depend on whether this can be sustained in the long term.
The key thing to note is that Mudra bank is not going to lend to business directly. Instead it has been given a huge corpus of funds to refinance the various micro-finance institutions that lend to such entities.
The last-mile lenders will have to ensure they run a profitable model. They will have to be diligent while checking the credibility of the businesses they are lending to and their ability to pay back.
While the value of each loan is likely to be relatively small, a large number of bad loans can add up and become a significant issue.
With Indian government's expenses already under strain due to various subsidies, it will be very difficult for the policymakers to keep pumping in endless cash into the bank.
One of the big reasons that small businesses have lacked access to funding is the economics of big banking.
The big legacy players have been unable to cater to such entities, especially in smaller towns and rural areas as they have not been too keen to open physical branches in such centres. The low volume of business, a lack of trained staff and infrastructure costs are among the many reasons behind that.
However, the advancements in technology can help address that issue. Institutions that specialise in micro-finance can tap into technology to provide increased access to funding for small businesses.
A prime example of that is CreditEase in China. It launched a peer-to-peer microcredit platform in 2006 helping bring together urban lenders with extra cash and people with micro-credit needs, such as urban micro-entrepreneurs, salary workers, vocation school students and the rural poor. In just eight years it has become the world's biggest peer-to-peer lending platform.
There are various other examples across the world including, Kabbage, CAN Capital, OnDeck, Bond Street, Fundera, Lendio, LendingClub, and Prosper to name a few.
All these platforms use the Internet to power their business. They all have almost no physical branches. They mainly fund person-to-person, have extremely simple processes and advanced credit underwriting models. All of that allows them to work with low cost platforms and agile solutions.
If Indian micro-finance institutions can set up similar models, it can help address the issues that big banks have faced in India. Of course, access to Internet is key here. Internet penetration in India is still relatively low, but it is improving, not least because of broadband access offered via smartphones.
There are more than 900 million mobile phone users in India. Increasingly many of them are switching to smartphones. As more and more people and businesses get online, technology driven micro-finance can help bridge the gap between the demand and supply of micro-credit.
Not only will that help the growth of such businesses, but also contribute towards the expansion of the Indian economy.

The 76-year-old was given the honour for his services to football and charity.
Aberdeen-born Law, who scored 237 goals during his time at United, said the royal recognition was unexpected.
The player rounded off his career by representing Scotland at the 1974 World Cup in West Germany.
Speaking after the ceremony he said: "I just think this is the type of honour that goes to other people. You do not expect to get something like this. It's fantastic."
He said he enjoyed some brief football-related banter with the Duke of Cambridge, who is an Aston Villa supporter.
The footballer said: "The conversation was a bit short because they (Aston Villa) are bottom of the league and things are not going well but the thing is, when you're a supporter you will support your team wherever they are. So I was glad that he supports them, because that's his team."
Law was one third of what became known as Manchester United's Holy Trinity, when he played alongside George Best and Sir Bobby Charlton during his 11-year stint with the Red Devils.

He nods with approval as they thunder past, their coats glistening in the morning sunshine.
But back in the yard, it is a different story: row upon row of stables stand empty.
In a few years, he has gone from having 80 horses to just 25 in full-time training.
Like many trainers, he has had to bear the brunt of a problem that has swept through the Irish Republic's racing industry.
Once only affordable to the wealthy few, owning a racehorse suddenly became possible for a far greater number during Ireland's boom times.
To keep up with this new demand, thoroughbreds - a breed of horse used specifically for racing - were being produced at an unprecedented rate: between 2000 and 2007, the number of registered foals increased from 8,793 to 12,633.
But these horses are expensive, costing approximately 17,000 euros (£15,000) a year to keep.
And when Ireland plunged into one of the deepest recessions to hit the eurozone, they became a luxury very few could afford.
Mr Hogan, who is based in Nenagh, County Tipperary, explains: "Quite a lot of those horses would have been owned by syndicates - basically blocklayers, carpenters, electricians - people involved in the big property boom. And they just disappeared overnight."
Suddenly he was left with horses, but with no money coming in from their owners to pay for them.
It has been a very difficult time, he says. Some of these horses have had to be exported, others retrained, and a few he has kept on himself. Some, though, have had to be put down.
Growth industry
The loss of healthy thoroughbreds has become a harsh reality of this economic crisis.
And abattoirs, where horses are slaughtered for their meat for human consumption, have become a growth industry.
In 2008, there was just one in the Republic of Ireland, but today there are five.
Last year, 9,790 horses were killed in them. Of these, the BBC has learnt that 4,618 were thoroughbreds.
But this is not the whole picture. Figures are not available for the number of horses that have ended up in Ireland's 40 registered knacker's yards.
Shane O'Dwyer, from the Irish Thoroughbred Breeders' Association (ITBA), acknowledges that there was over-breeding at the height of the Celtic Tiger boom but he believes for many owners, putting horses down was the responsible thing to do.
"We said when horses came to the end of their time or when there was no use to them, there should be euthanasia, voluntary euthanasia… rather than leaving the horse out in the field to be a welfare case."
But racehorses are the tip of a much larger equine welfare problem in Ireland.
At the ISPCA's animal rescue centre in Keenagh, County Longford, they are struggling to cope with the numbers of horses they have had to take in.
"We're seeing every shape and size, from little ponies right up to cobs and draught horses," says Conor Dowling, the ISPCA's chief inspector.
"So far this year, our inspectors have taken in nearly as many equines as we did in the entire year of 2010."
He says that all sections of the equine community were irresponsible.
"We have a serious problem here and we need to find a solution. We all appreciate money is tight in every area of the country, but this situation involves living creatures and we can't allow this to go on."
The ISPCA has suggested a mass cull may be needed to drive Irish horse numbers back down to a manageable size.
It has also called for better regulation across the industry.
But Brian Kavanagh, chief executive of Horse Racing Ireland, says regulating breeding is not the answer for thoroughbreds.
He says: "If somebody wants to breed a horse, it's very, very difficult to stop them. Everybody looked at the idea of regulation and the reality is the market is regulating it now but it's regulating it in a very, very severe and harsh manner. "
Many, like Tom Hogan, think that more money needs to be pumped into racing through raising betting tax.
Mr Kavanagh agrees: "All other racing jurisdictions around the world are funded by a direct link with betting.
"We would be very supportive of that. We've been lobbying for some time, but the devil is in the detail as to how it's actually worked out but it's definitely a positive development."
For now, though, it seems that economics will continue to dictate the fate of Ireland's racehorses.

Goals from Oliver Rathbone, Reuben Noble-Lazarus and a Steven Davies brace saw off the sorry Saddlers as Dale made it back-to-back 4-0 victories following Saturday's win over Swindon.
Walsall defended well for the opening half hour with the home side asking most of the questions.
The breakthrough came in the 32nd minute when Joe Thompson teed up Rathbone on the right-hand corner of the six-yard box. The former Manchester United trainee's low drive ran between goalkeeper Neil Etheridge's legs at the near post to hand Dale the lead.
Rathbone was close to a second soon after but saw his angled header saved by Etheridge, but the goalkeeper was beaten again in the 41st minute when Noble-Lazarus slammed home at the far post.
Substitute Davies converted a 74th-minute penalty after Mendez-Laing was brought down by Etheridge. Davies then latched on to a misplaced backpass in time added on before rounding the goalkeeper and finding the empty net from distance.

President Obama said the US would prioritise trade negotiations with the EU and Pacific nations over a UK deal.
Japan has warned of "drastic changes" after Brexit and said the potentially "harmful effects" must be minimised.
But Mrs May has insisted that the UK can prosper outside the EU and become a "global leader in free trade".
Mrs May is also facing questions over Chinese investment in the UK ahead of a meeting with leader Xi Jinping later.
Asked whether she "trusted" the Chinese government - amid claims she is reviewing China's planned investment in a new nuclear reactor in Hinkley Point on security grounds - she said the UK "had a relationship" with China she wanted to build on.
While acknowledging that the UK had enjoyed a "golden era" in its relations with China under her predecessor David Cameron, Mrs May said there were a number of other countries that the UK wanted to develop trade links with.
Her comments come amid reports that Australia could be the first country to sign a free trade agreement with the UK once it leaves the EU.
The two-day summit in Hangzhou is Mrs May's first opportunity to meet a number of international leaders since she became prime minister in July, in the wake of the UK's vote to quit the EU and David Cameron's subsequent resignation.
Analysis by James Landale, BBC diplomatic correspondent
The phrase "Brexit means Brexit" has seen the government through the summer, but has now reached the end of its usefulness.
It was designed to persuade doubting Remainers that the UK really will leave the EU, something Theresa May was once again forced to confirm during her news conference with President Obama here in China.
But over the months the slogan has inverted into something different, a symbol of the government's uncertainty about what Brexit will actually mean for our relationship with the EU. This lack of clarity reflects the divisions within ministerial ranks over what deal Britain should aim for. Read more from James
She has held talks with Mr Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin among others at the meeting of the world's largest economies.
After their meeting, President Obama said the "special" relationship between the two countries remained strong despite Washington favouring the UK remaining in the EU and that the US would do everything to make sure Brexit did not affect this status.
The two leaders said their respective countries would begin a consultation on future trade links in the new landscape while Mr Obama played down his claim during the EU referendum that the UK would have to go to the "back of the queue" for trade talks.
BBC diplomatic correspondent James Landale said Mrs May's goal was to reassure other leaders that the UK was "open for business" and was a "dependable partner" but had received a number of "blunt" responses, including from Mr Obama, over Brexit.
Ministers have insisted the UK's economic and diplomatic status will not be diminished and Brexit could actually enhance relations with countries beyond Europe.
But an official Japanese government briefing has warned of the repercussions for the thousands of people employed by Japanese car, finance and hi-tech firms in the UK and has sought assurances over continued access to the single market, tariff levels and other trade privileges.
"It is of great importance that the UK and the EU maintain market integrity and remain attractive destinations for businesses where free trade, unfettered investment and smooth financial transactions are ensured," the document said.
"In light of the fact that a number of Japanese businesses, invited by the government in some cases, have invested actively to the UK, which was seen to be a gateway to Europe... we strongly request that the UK will consider this fact seriously and respond in a responsible manner to minimise any harmful effects on these businesses."
Ahead of her meeting with the Chinese leader, Mrs May is facing questions over the future of plans to build a new nuclear power plant at Hinkley Point - underpinned by billions of pounds in Chinese investment - which are currently under review by the government amid reported concerns over cost and security.
Speaking to reporters, Mrs May said the Hinkley decision would be taken later this month and that the UK had a multi-faceted relationship with China.
Analysis by Laura Kuenssberg, BBC political editor
Perhaps the real difficulty for the now not so new prime minister is that the biggest demands on her abroad are the same as those at home. Other countries want more details of her plans for Britain's life after the EU.
But with no consensus, or anything like the details of post-Brexit Britain yet from government, there isn't that much that she can really tell them.
The political danger of such a relatively blank page is that others will fill the space. Read more from Laura
"We have seen significant Chinese investment into the United Kingdom," she said.
"What I want to do is build on that relationship, but I also want here at the G20 to be able to build on relationships with other countries. As I say I want the UK to be a global leader in free trade."
Our correspondent said this marked a notable change in the UK's tone towards China, from the stance of David Cameron and George Osborne who aggressively courted Beijing and had marketed the UK as China's "gateway to Europe".
Prime Minister Theresa May also said she wants a "frank and open relationship" with Russia during her first meeting with President Putin.
Relations between the UK and Russia have been strained, particularly following the UK inquiry which blamed the 2006 poisoning death of former spy Alexander Litvinenko on Russian agents and said it was "probably" approved by Mr Putin.
Other contentious topics have included Russia's support for the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the annexation of Crimea and fighting in Ukraine.
Mrs May said she had urged the Russian leader to do all he could to end the indiscriminate bombing of civilians in Syria and allow aid convoys into cut-off areas.
Speaking more broadly about the future of Anglo-Russian relations, she said: "While I recognise there will be some differences between us, there are some complex and serious areas of concern and issues to discuss." | UK Prime Minister Theresa May has come under pressure at the G20 summit over Britain's trade links with the US and other countries after it leaves the EU. | 37,269,916 | 1,329 | 35 | false |

The ex-Black Caps batsman had been suffering from lymphoma, a cancer of the immune system, for a second time.
He received the all-clear from the disease in 2012 but confirmed in September 2014 that it had returned.
Auckland-born Crowe is widely regarded as one of New Zealand's best players, scoring 17 centuries and 5,444 runs in 77 Tests at an average of 45.36.
His family announced his death "with heavy hearts", adding that he "passed away peacefully" on Thursday.
Crowe captained the Kiwis in 16 Test matches and his highest score was 299 against Sri Lanka in Wellington in 1991.
Named one of Wisden's Cricketers of the Year in 1985, he was player of the tournament at the 1992 World Cup, scoring 456 runs in nine matches.
Obituary: Martin Crowe - cricket's tortured genius
Crowe also had a spell with English county side Somerset between 1984 and 1988, and scored a total of 19,608 first-class runs in his career.
He retired in 1996 with a knee injury and went on to become a television commentator and author.
He also helped develop Cricket Max - a precursor to Twenty20.
In 2014, after being diagnosed with terminal cancer, Crowe said he could "happily live with" New Zealand's World Cup final against Australia being potentially the last match he ever saw.
"My precarious life ahead may not afford me the luxury of many more games to watch and enjoy," he wrote on ESPN Cricinfo. "So this is likely to be it. The last, maybe, and I can happily live with that."
His older brother, Jeff, played 39 Tests for New Zealand between 1983 and 1990, while he was a cousin of the Hollywood actor Russell Crowe.
BBC Sport's chief sports writer Tom Fordyce:
Martin Crowe grew up with cricket in his blood - his father played first-class cricket, his mother was the outstanding female player of her generation, his brother played Test cricket alongside him - and as a batsman he was a classicist, with a seemingly natural ability to play every shot in the book with a combination of grace and timing that caused the purists to swoon as much as bowlers to toil.
As a man, he was more revolutionary than that timeless style would ever had indicated - changing the face of one-day cricket with his innovations as his country's captain at the 1992 World Cup, coming up with a format that prefigured the start of T20, going through a rebirthing programme to help him deal with his frequent bouts of depression, marrying a former Miss Universe. Singular in his chosen sport, atypical beyond it.
Laws, 42, started six months of chemotherapy this week.
The Kenya-born cyclist, a former British champion in time trial, road racing and mountain biking, and retired in August.
"As a professional cyclist I've had my share of setbacks. I have come back each time," she said in a statement.
"I hope that these experiences and my life as a professional athlete have prepared me for what will be my biggest challenge so far."
Laws was advised to have a biopsy on swollen lymph glands by her team doctor at Podium Ambition in late July, after initially attributing them to "a series of colds".
After discovering they were secondary cancer tumours, tests revealed further infected lymph nodes in the pelvis, and cervical cancer.
"Obviously I am trying to come to terms with what is happening," said Laws, who competed at the Beijing Olympics in 2008.
"I had exciting retirement plans - learning Spanish and volunteer work in South America, bike guiding and environmental consultancy. These will now have to be put on hold."
The 27-year-old goalkeeper arrives after the Iron lost both Sam Slocombe and Jamie Severn to broken arms in the

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

Predicting technology in 2013
He could hardly have imagined, as he was using it to light a fire or hack a carcass apart, that his descendants would one day promote that kind of inventive step through patents.
So it is with the wonder of our age, the computer.
We've scarcely started to grasp the scale of the changes information technology will bring this century.
One application is to help analyse, map and collate features of our surroundings across the planet and keep track of activity on it. This geo-information has tremendous benefits and is gaining in sophistication and power all the time.
Data sources to produce geo-information come from satellites, together with aerial and ground observation equipment around the world.
They collect data from different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum or from probing with radar or with sonar in air or water. Their output can then be processed into multiple formats, depending on ultimate use, including images with layers of content added.
The scale of the phenomenon and the quantities of data involved are barely imaginable, but the effect is for humanity to be endowed with new senses that can reach to the Earth's farthest corners.
How this will affect our behaviour as individuals and societies will be one of the biggest questions of the Information Age.
In November 2012, Britain experienced unusually severe autumn flooding.
Only a few years ago it would have overwhelmed the emergency services, but thanks in part to satellite imagery, situation managers gained a strategic view of areas at risk and could deploy resources effectively.
Yet, even with this kind of application of general public benefit, there are issues of access to data and the reliability of the resultant information as it is processed into services for users.
But when geo-information supports surveillance of human activities, there is a point at which particular interests are going to be affected.
While we may appreciate the sat-nav in our car or phone when it delivers us safely to some remote location we want to get to, we may find that a geo-location application known to the provider not to be very reliable for the purpose offered ought at least to carry a clear "quality" warning, similar to safety and health warnings for other things we use.
That way, possibly widespread inconvenience, even disruption, might be avoided.
Other, more disturbing questions arise when details of our daily commute are, to mention a recent example in the Netherlands, used to set speed traps without us being informed in some way of this potential use.
Similar issues can arise with surveillance from the sky of cars' movements in and out of particular locations at particular times.
Those watched - individuals and organisations - may wish to have some possibility of knowing who's watching, allowing for state's legitimate security needs.
Again here, geo-information seems to have two faces, depending on whose interest it serves.
But when the information processing for such applications is dispersed around the globe, how can issues like these be addressed?
It is the law's function to establish the rules which apply at this kind of intersection of technology and human interests.
Since the issues are transnational, we've proposed the development of an international Geo-information Convention.
Its aim is to be technology-neutral, so that it is future-proof enough also to cover new systems like hyper spectral sensors reminiscent of Star Trek and drones with privacy implications reminiscent of 1984.
The essential questions are: how do we make geoinformation reliable enough for the particular applications for which it is to be used, and what limits should we put on use of its power?
Work on these difficult questions has already begun through the International Bar Association (IBA).
Having already received encouragement from several quarters, we believe it's now time for the project to be opened up for wider international discussion.
A roundtable on the Convention will be held at an IBA conference in Zurich in May 2013 and from there, we hope to move towards governmental take-up of the Convention.

Party leaders were out and about from the Borders to Stornoway as they highlighted their education policies with two weeks to go until May's election.
Nicola Sturgeon said raising educational attainment should be the next government's "number one priority" while campaigning in Dumfries.
The SNP leader said if re-elected as first minister, she would seek to give parents and teachers a greater say over key decisions in schools.
Ms Sturgeon said she wanted every child in Scotland to have "the benefit of a world-class education".
She said: "The most significant investments the SNP will make in the next term will be in our young people. From the earliest years until adulthood, improving Scotland's education system should be the number one priority of the next Scottish government."
Kezia Dugdale challenged Ms Sturgeon to match her pledge to protect schools, colleges and universities from cuts.
Campaigning in Stornoway, the Scottish Labour leader said the SNP manifesto had not committed to above-inflation increases in the education budget.
She said: "In her manifesto yesterday, Nicola Sturgeon offered protection for the NHS budget, but not for education.
"This is not a technical detail - if the SNP leader does not make this commitment in simple terms, it means she plans to cut education spending in real terms."
Ruth Davidson said there would be "more money in the system" for education under her plans.
Visiting a nursery in Edinburgh, the Scottish Conservative leader said ending the council tax freeze would allow local authorities to spend more on schools.
She also said any increases in the devolved budget as a result of rising education spending in England should be allocated to Scottish education.
The Tories want to free up extra cash for further and higher education by charging university graduates a contribution towards the cost of their tuition.
Willie Rennie called for the "immediate publication" of a national survey of schools attainment in Scotland, accusing the SNP of "jiggery-pokery".
The Scottish Lib Dem leader said the results of the annual Scottish Survey of Literacy and Numeracy are usually published in March or April, but this year have been put back until 31 May - after the Holyrood election.
Mr Rennie said: "It seems convenient that we're being expected to wait more than a month longer than ever before to get sight of the most up-to-date statistics on literacy and numeracy. But that is the kind of jiggery-pokery we've come to expect from the SNP.
"The results of the last two of these surveys have shown overall literacy and numeracy standards are slipping and the attainment gap is widening."
Sarah Beattie-Smith joined activists in Dunbar to discuss environmental policies.
The Green transport and infrastructure spokeswoman underlined her party's commitment to protecting Scotland's "natural treasures" while campaigning alongside party activists.

The aptly-nicknamed Phileas Mogg began his trip in Warmingham, Cheshire when he got inside Colin Woodward's Audi A4.
The retired farmer inadvertently took the cat on two motorways, over the Welsh border and through a car wash before he was found when he arrived at a friend's home near Bristol.
The RSPCA's Simon Coombs said the trip had cost Phileas one of his nine lives.
Mr Woodward said he thought he heard a cat under his car at his Cheshire home on 11 November, but checked and found nothing so set off.
Over the next few days, he drove to nearby Sandbach and Wettenhall, over the border to Wales to visit Bangor-on-Dee races, down to Cheltenham and on to Easton-in-Gordano, near Bristol, to see a friend.
When he arrived, on 13 November, he heard the cat again and found Phileas "between the front wheel and the headlight".
He said he "couldn't believe [his] eyes" when the tom was released by a mechanic and was "just relieved he survived".
Phileas was taken to RSPCA Bristol, where his burned paws were treated.
The charity has been unable to trace his owners but Mr Woodward said he hoped the search would be successful.
"He's a lovely cat [and] he will certainly have a tale to tell them about his adventure," he said.
Mr Coombs said Phileas "was lucky to escape with some burns to his paws".
"If cats really had nine lives, he's lost one of them."
Appealing for information, he added it was possible Phileas was not from Warmingham but had "jumped on board along the way, so his owners could come from any of these places".
The wolf was taken after the owner, believed to be the granddaughter of Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, returned from a night out in Soho.
The "snarling" specimen was brought in to a west London police station undamaged and will stay in police possession while enquiries continue.
There have been no arrests at this stage, the Met Police said.
The Evening Standard has reported that the taxidermy piece belongs to Charlotte Watts.
Three men, who are being sought by police, were invited back to the Chelsea home and reportedly left at about 05:00 BST on 3 August.
The newspaper said Ms Watts and a woman friend met the men at a club and invited them back to the flat.
The men left but it was only when the two women woke up later in the morning that they realised the wolf was missing.
All three suspects are white and believed to be in their early 20s.
The wolf was bought six years ago from a taxidermy shop and has yellow glass eyes and white fur with black speckles on its back, shoulders and ears.
About 6,750 students from across the UK took part in an online study by Swansea University.
It claims nearly 5% of them had actually worked in the sex industry and male students were more likely to become involved than women.
Work ranged from stripping, phone sex chat, erotic dancing to prostitution.
It included escort work but also work, which did not involve direct contact, such as webcam work and glamour modelling.
The Student Sex Work Project was carried out by Swansea University's Centre for Criminal Justice and Criminology and funded by the Big Lottery Fund.
The findings suggest:
Dr Tracey Sagar, who co-led the study, said stereotyping was a problem and the discovery that more men were involved in the sex industry than was commonly thought was a "significant finding".
Although only a third of those researched were men, of those taking part in the survey, 5% said they were involved in sex work, compared to nearly 3.5% of the women.
"Sex work is widely but wrongly perceived to be an occupation that is predominantly taken up by women and this means that males may fall through the student support net because they are not associated with sex work occupations," she said.
Dr Sagar said: "We now have firm evidence that students are engaged in the sex industry across the UK.
"The majority of these students keep their occupations secret and this is because of social stigma and fears of being judged by family and friends. And, we have to keep in mind that not all students engaged in the industry are safe or feel safe."
She said it was vital universities better understood student sex work issues.
Steve Jones, director at Terrence Higgins Trust Cymru, said students needed support to ensure they had the knowledge and confidence to protect themselves from sexually transmitted infections.
"It has long been the assumption that young people who enter the sex industry do so to fund basic living expenses.
"However, this research shows young people's reasons for entering sex work, and their motivations for remaining in it, are more complex."
Rosie Inman, NUS Wales women's officer said the study was a valuable piece of research.
"The main priority must be to maintain the wellbeing of students involved in sex work, not to stigmatise them," she said.
The study was carried out online. The research started in Wales and nearly half of those who took part were at Welsh colleges.
Police were made aware of alleged racial abuse on a Metrolink tram on 28 June after a video was posted online.
There were two further alleged assaults later in Trafford, at Pomona Strand and Bridgewater Way, police said.
A man, 20, has been charged with racially-aggravated assault. Another man, 19, and a boy, 16, were charged with public order offences and assault.
The 20-year-old, Robert Molloy, of no fixed address, was also charged with two further assaults and a public order offence.
Aaron Cauchi, 19, of Brydon Close, Salford, was charged with two public order offences and assault.
The 16-year-old from Pendleton, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was charged with two public order offences and assault.
All three are due to appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court on 8 November.
Food Standards Scotland (FSS) has found that 400 billion calories worth of food was purchased by Scots households in 2014/15, the equivalent of just over 2,000 calories per person, per day.
The report also discovered that there was 115g of sugar in the food the average Scot purchased daily last year - well above the World Health Organisation's recommended intake of 25g a day.
However, its statistics should be treated with some caution.
The report relates to how many calories are purchased, rather than consumed and takeaways, restaurant meals and working lunches are also excluded.
Soft drinks, biscuits, confectionary, table sugar, cakes and pastries contained more than 45% of the sugar purchased by Scots last year.
Although fruit topped the list of "total sugar purchases" in Scotland in 2014/15, many less health foods made it into Food Standards Scotland's top 10 list.
The amount of regular soft drinks bought by households in Scotland dropped by 21% in 2014/15 - but sales of diet drinks remained static.
A total of 173 million litres of drinks with added sugar were sold to Scots homes last year.
About one billion individual servings of cakes and pastries are purchased by Scottish households annually.
However the FSS has found that the amount of sugar and fats found in the products has risen steadily since 2011.
The numbers of puddings and desserts bought into homes in Scotland has dropped by 7% since 2010.
Despite that, the amount of fat the Scottish population receives from puddings and desserts has remained static and sugar levels have increased.
FSS researchers believe their evidence suggests that products have changed their recipes to include more sugar or fat products.
The volume of pies and pastries purchased in Scotland dropped by almost 17% since 2010; sausage sales fell by 8%.
It has led to a drop in the amount of saturated fat and salt people in Scotland have derived from the products.
Scottish households are buying slightly fewer crisps and savoury snacks than they did in 2010.
The FSS believe a "reformulation" of the products may have led to a marked reduction in saturated fats and a small reduction in salt.
People in Scotland bought 10% more oil-rich fish last year than they did in 2010.
The volume of plain bread purchased in Scotland has declined by 12% in the past five years, according to the FSS research
And the number of potatoes bought by the nation's households has fallen by 28% since 2010.
Jocelerme Privert told the BBC that devastating losses from last month's Hurricane Matthew were equal to the country's entire national budget.
Mr Privert said Haiti was facing a "major food crisis" and worsening levels of malnutrition.
He urged governments around the world to do more to help.
Hurricane Matthew ripped through Haiti on 4 October.
The Category 4 storm, the strongest to hit the Caribbean in a decade, devastated large parts of the country and affected 2.1 million people.
The Haitian government estimates 1.5 million people are in need of immediate assistance, including more than 140,000 people who are living in temporary shelters.
Speaking from his home in the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince, Mr Privert said that he "didn't want to see Haitian people die because of the unavailability of international assistance".
The president warned that without immediate financial support to replant crops destroyed by Hurricane Matthew, Haiti's situation could worsen further.
"If we don't manage to re-launch agriculture then in three to four months we'll find ourselves with a major food crisis," he told the BBC.
"Our projection is that we need between $25m (£20m) and $30m to resolve the farming issue. Right now we have $2.5m."
Non-profit relief organisation J/P HRO, which has been delivering aid to the people of Haiti since 2010, says there could be a serious crisis in the offing.
"What we're seeing is a lot of hunger. Haiti has experienced three years of drought before the hurricane so there were already high levels of malnutrition.
"Now tens of thousands of acres of crop land and millions of fruit trees have been destroyed," J/P HRO's chief executive Ann Lee said.
Within a week of Hurricane Matthew hitting Haiti, the United Nations launched a flash appeal to raise $120m.

$45.6m Pledged so far
$23m Sum pledged by US
More than a month on, 38% has been raised, with the United States pledging the lion share.
The UK has committed £8m ($10m) to helping Haiti in the wake of Hurricane Matthew, of which £1.3m have so far been paid to the UN appeal.
A spokesperson for the UK government said that "Britain has played its part in assisting those in immediate need" by providing water, shelter, sanitation and protection.
But according to Ms Lee, some of the more remote communities have not been reached at all.
"There is gratitude because we bring some assistance to them but there's also a lot of despair, everyone is suffering," she says.
Mr Privert insists more needs to be done: "The international community has expressed deep sympathy for the Haitian people and heads of state have contacted us, heads of government have provided some support both moral and material, but it is not enough."

Connor Sparrowhawk suffered an epileptic fit while in a bath at Slade House in Oxford in July 2013.
Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust eventually admitted responsibility and offered his family compensation.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) told the BBC it will now prosecute the trust.
Following the announcement, Mr Sparrowhawk's mother Sara Ryan said: "I still feel really sad about it.
"I just feel we've been put through the mill. We have been treated appallingly and a young man should be doing whatever he would be doing right now.
"He should never have died."
The HSE said it was prosecuting the trust "under Section 3 of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 following its investigation into the death of a patient under its care".
A jury-led inquest in October 2015 found that "failings" by trust staff contributed to Connor's death.
The trust's boss Katrina Percy resigned in October amid public pressure.
Slade House closed in 2014 and the building is being transferred to Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust.
Andrew Smith, the former MP for Oxford East who is not standing at the next election, said: "I was pleased to learn this news just as my time as MP was ending."
Southern Health provides mental health services to patients across Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
It is also facing prosecution over alleged failings at Melbury Lodge, Royal Hampshire County Hospital, where a patient sustained serious injuries during a fall from a low roof.

The suspect owns a cyber cafe in Brahmanbaria, the eastern area where most of the attacks occurred.
The National Human Rights Commission said the violence was an organised bid to drive Hindu people from their homes and grab their land.
The violence was sparked after a Hindu fisherman allegedly mocked a holy site in Mecca on Facebook.
Police now say the image was not uploaded from his mobile phone. They instead suspect it was uploaded from the cyber cafe in question, local media report.
While the attacks started in Brahmanbaria district, incidents have been reported from all around Muslim-majority Bangladesh.
Dozens of people were arrested earlier this month in connection with the worst attacks, which targeted numerous temples and more than 100 homes on 30 October.
More than 100 people were injured, reports said, and an arson attack destroyed the house of a local leader of the governing Awami League, who is a Hindu.
Correspondents say attacks on Hindus and other religious minorities in Bangladesh are not uncommon, but the scale of the recent violence is unusual.
More homes were attacked on 4 November in the same district.
Rasraj Das, a fisherman, was arrested over the Facebook post that triggered the violence, and later released on bail. The image posted was of the Kaaba, one of the holiest sites in Islam, along with a Hindu deity.
Police now say that an investigation has determined the photo was not uploaded from Mr Das's phone and he has been cleared.
Instead, it is suspected that the image was uploaded to Rasraj Das' Facebook account from the cyber cafe in Nasirnagar, a sub-district of Brahmanbaria, according to the Dhaka Tribune.
Many secular writers and bloggers have been killed in Bangladesh in recent years, in attacks blamed on Islamist militants.
The body of Katy Rourke, who was from Broughty Ferry, Dundee, was found at the flat in Minto Street, in Craigton, at about 17:05 on Wednesday.
Police Scotland said a 26-year-old man had been arrested and was detained in police custody.
He was expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on 2 January. A report will be sent to prosecutors.
Officers have been conducting door-to-door inquiries and reviewing CCTV footage.

Before the results were announced, everybody thought it would be neck and neck between the Conservatives and the Labour party.
But a survey of voters called an exit poll suggested the Conservatives would win the election - an unexpected result.
Hayley took some kids to meet the BBC's political expert Ross Hawkins, so he could answer their questions.
David Marshall, 68, of Birks Street in the city, admitted murdering Eni Mevish, 20, who was found injured in Cauldon Road, Shelton, in Stoke-on-Trent, in November.
Mr Marshall also admitted the wounding of a 22-year-old man at Wolverhampton Crown Court. Police have said both victims had been stabbed.
Sentencing is due to take place at Stafford Crown Court on 10 April.
The murder victim was a crime science student at the university.
But with fridges bursting and a never-ending supply of leftovers to use up, how do you avoid the unwelcome guest of food poisoning making an appearance?
It's party time; you've got friends coming round; the booze is flowing faster than the tears on Strictly and you've laid out a buffet that would put Nigella or Jamie to shame.
Kevin Hargin, director of food-borne disease control at the Food Standards Agency (FSA) says: "The spread is out on the table all evening getting nice and warm - the bugs are having a great time in the salad dressings, the quiches and so on.
"The best idea is to only put out the food when you need, don't leave it out all the time."
Plus you don't want to be remembered for hosting the party that ruined Christmas #mortified.
Campylobacter - This is the most common cause. The bacteria are usually found in raw or undercooked meat (particularly poultry), unpasteurised milk and untreated water.
Salmonella - Raw eggs, milk and other dairy products - plus undercooked meat again - can play host to the salmonella bacteria.
Listeria - This can live in chilled ready-to-eat foods, like pre-packed sandwiches, cooked sliced meats and pate, plus soft cheeses like Brie and Camembert. All should be eaten by their sell-by-dates to be on the safe side, and pregnant women need to be especially careful, since a listeria infection can cause pregnancy and birth complications - and even miscarriage.
E. coli - Most cases of E. coli poisoning happen after eating undercooked beef (particularly mince, burgers and meatballs, or drinking unpasteurised milk.
It's the star of the show on the day - but it's probably the only turkey (or duck, or goose) that you cook all year.
"People are not used to cooking turkey or anything of that size," says Kevin.
Defrosting a 6-7kg bird can take three days if you do it in the fridge so give it plenty of time.
And if your bird has an icy core then it might not cook properly in the oven, running the risk of having a bit of Salmonella or Campylobacter making it onto the plate.
You'll also want the juices to run hot, steamy and clear to know the bird is cooked.
Christmas is time for something to step out of the shadows and become the hero it was born to be.
I am of course talking about your freezer - Hollywood is calling already.
Kevin again: "People tend to order and prepare far more than they're ever going to eat, so there's a lot of leftovers and people think you can't freeze that.
"But that's one of the big myths. It's safe to freeze the leftover turkey so you could bring it out again at New Year."
But when you do defrost, gobble [ahem] it up within 24 hours.

The 31-year-old died in police custody in May after an incident in a Kirkcaldy street.
Mr Bayoh's family claim they were given five versions of what happened to him.
The Lord Advocate will now consider the contents of the report. PIRC said it would continue to pursue evidence.
A spokesman for PIRC said: "The Police Investigations and Review Commissioner has now submitted an interim report to the Crown Office on its independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Sheku Bayoh on 3 May 2015.
"Our team of experienced and skilled investigators have gathered evidence, taken statements from witnesses and recovered productions and continue to investigate complex lines of inquiry.
"The Commissioner will continue to pursue further expert evidence in relation to the cause of death and is working closely with the Crown Office in this regard.
"The Lord Advocate is now considering the interim report."
The 25th series of the show - due to air in spring 2018 - will see LeBlanc return to host alongside Rory Reid and Chris Harris.
"I think we've tried to broaden the demographic of the show," the presenter said.
"Try to make it not lose the petrolhead nature of it but maybe open it up to people who aren't so petrolheady.
"Expand the comedy, try to have bigger, broader films, but it will be more of the same in the sense it starts with the car."
LeBlanc will return to the UK in the coming weeks to shoot footage for the show - so far he's been filming in Norway, France, Italy and California.
"It will be closer to what it was last year versus the season before," he added.
The most recent series was more popular with critics than the one before it - which saw Chris Evans on hosting duties.
Evans hadn't been popular with viewers and he left the show after fronting one series.
But LeBlanc declined to discuss viewing figures, which have generally been lower since the departure of previous hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond.
The trio moved to Amazon Prime to start the Grand Tour after Clarkson punched a producer. He later apologised after settling a £100,000 racial discrimination and injury claim.
BBC Two controller Patrick Holland has previously said Top Gear's last series drew a "much healthier" audience and it should not be compared to the Clarkson era, which was a "completely different" show.
The BBC has also said that younger audiences rated the most recent series "far higher" than they did previous ones.
LeBlanc was speaking from Los Angeles as he promoted the last series of Episodes, the comedy he stars in alongside Stephen Mangan and Tamsin Greig.
The 50-year-old said it will be hard to leave behind the show, which has been a "inspiring, magic, special journey".

The Northern Ireland deputy first minister was speaking after the plight of the families of the Disappeared was highlighted in a BBC/RTÉ documentary.
He said he would "make every effort both publicly and privately to see this grave injustice brought to an end".
He appealed for fresh information.
The documentary, shown on BBC Northern Ireland and RTÉ on Monday, featured interviews with relatives of those who had been murdered.
After the programme was broadcast, the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains said it was appealing for new information "in a spirit of common human decency".
This was echoed by the Sinn Féin MP, who described it as a "humanitarian issue".
"I understand that these killings happened decades ago and those involved may be dead, may not have been active in republicanism since that time or indeed may well be hostile to Sinn Féin and the peace process," said Mr McGuinness.
"But despite these difficulties, I do believe that we must continue efforts to see a positive resolution for the families."
He added: "Those who seek to make political capital out of these terrible and tragic events will only dissuade them."
Mr McGuinness was speaking after the group set up to obtain information on where the bodies are buried issued a fresh appeal.
The Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remain said the documentary had demonstrated "once again the dreadful burden that the families of the Disappeared have had to bear for so long".
"Theirs is a tale of tragedy and denial - the tragedy of the loss of a loved one and the denial of their right to bury their loved ones decently and to have a place to grieve," it said.
Commissioners Frank Murray and Sir Ken Bloomfield said their work did not involve seeking prosecutions but was only aimed at addressing "the hurt and disappointment that the families of the Disappeared have endured for decades".
They said information could be given to the commission in "guaranteed confidence".
The commission was established in 1999 by a treaty between the British and Irish governments.
It lists 16 people as "disappeared". Despite extensive searches, the remains of seven of them have not been found.
Meanwhile, Traditional Unionist Voice leader Jim Allister has criticised a refusal by the assembly's Speaker to allow a "matter of the day" debate on the documentary's findings as it did not meet the criteria.
Mr Allister said: "It seems that once again anything that could possibly embarrass Sinn Féin and upset the cosy cabal cannot be raised on the 'Hill'.
"It can be debated on the Nolan Show but not in Stormont."
The issue was raised in the Irish parliament by Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin, who described the programme as "harrowing".
Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams, who in the documentary repeatedly rejected allegations he was involved in the disappearance of mother-of-10 Jean McConville in 1972, said the programme should be a "huge motivation for anyone who has any information whatsoever to bring it forward".
In response to the North Louth TD, Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny said he hoped the programme "stimulates active minds to make their information available".
"The fact of the matter is that somebody ordered that Jean McConville be murdered, somebody instructed that people take her away, somebody instructed the late Dolours Price to drive that vehicle across the border and somebody instructed that what happened took place," he said.
"It may well be that those people are still around and they know what happened; your own appeal from this house may well have some effect and I hope it has.
"For others who disappeared in a similar fashion, if they are laid to rest in tragic circumstances in County Meath or County Monaghan, there are people who know what happened to them as well."
They are angry that the NHS is considering merging Scotland's two facilities, in the east and west, into one clinic based in Glasgow.
The Cleft Lip and Palate Association has called for more detail about why the move to a single centre is needed.
The Scottish government said no final decisions have been made.
Almost 100 babies are born every year in Scotland with a cleft lip or palate.
Surgery can help them talk and eat. Scotland has two clinics - in Edinburgh and Glasgow - which specialise in these surgical procedures.
A public consultation is currently taking place about plans to merge them into one surgical centre, based at the new Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow.
Parents opposed to the plan have started a petition and gathered more than 3,500 signatures.
They argue the service in Glasgow has poorer results but senior NHS managers have insisted the single-handed surgical service in Edinburgh is not sustainable.
A public consultation meeting is being held in Edinburgh later, with another due to take place in Glasgow on Thursday.
The Cleft Lip and Palate Association, a voluntary organisation offering advice and support to those affected by the condition, said it was important that the views of patients were heard in the consultation process.
It previously said it wanted the surgical service to remain on two sites because of "a lack of evidence to show that the existing structure wasn't working".
It has urged the NHS to provide further detail "on either the issues with the current two centre model or the structure of a service based at one centre".
A spokeswoman said: "We will continue to ask for clear and transparent sharing of information regarding the review and its recommendation to move to a single centre, and we are also vigilant on the potential erosion of services across cleft teams as NHS budgets come under increasing pressure.
"We actively encourage all those in the cleft community, children and adults, to respond to the consultation process and to include CLAPA (Scotland) in their correspondence so we can continue to monitor the situation and ensure a broad spectrum of voices are heard at this crucial time in the consultation process."
Health Secretary Shona Robison said the review was an "on-going process" and that no final decisions had been made.
She added: "A consultation is underway, and the views of patients and families, are not just welcome, but an extremely important part of the process.
"It's important to state that this review applies only to specialist surgery services. It does not impact on other important cleft unit services such as orthodontist treatment, speech and language therapy and dentistry, which will continue to be provided locally throughout Scotland."
A spokesman for NHS National Services Scotland said: "It is essential to have a service that can be properly staffed and resourced that can provide a high quality, resilient and sustainable service for the long term for NHS Scotland.
"Specialist services like cleft lip and palate with a few complex operations a year often benefit from concentrating surgical skills in one place."

The five-time Masters champion knocked in one century and six-half centuries, including a match-winning 73 in frame nine, after Selby had a break of 70.
"You're not going to win this tournament by playing negative," O'Sullivan, 40, told BBC Sport.
In the day's other quarter-final, Barry Hawkins beat Mark Allen 6-2.
Englishman Hawkins, the world number eight, lost the first frame as Northern Irishman Allen posted a 109 break, but won the next four to take control of the match.
Allen briefly halted his charge by taking frame six, but Hawkins claimed the last two to set up a semi-final contest with Judd Trump or Neil Robertson, who play on Friday (13:00 GMT - live on BBC Two).
O'Sullivan will face either John Higgins or Stuart Bingham (Friday from 19:00 GMT - live on BBC Two) in the last four.
BBC snooker analyst Steve Davis called O'Sullivan's clearance to win the match "one of the greatest of all time".

However, five-time world champion O'Sullivan, who is playing his first major tournament since taking a break from the sport last April, insisted he is not on top of his game.
He said: "I felt a bit more relaxed and comfortable. My attitude was fantastic. But I'm struggling with my technique and it's just the occasion and the competitive instinct within me that's making me try and find something."
Thousands of tonnes of stone was dumped in the area in the 1980s, which destroyed an area of saltmarsh.
The Public Services Department has undertaken the work as part of efforts to offset the impact of the £80m airport refurbishment project.
The reserve sits within the 426-hectare area at L'Eree that was granted protection as a Ramsar site in 2006.
Public Services Minister Bernard Flouquet said the environmental impact of the works had been taken very seriously and it was working with Environment Guernsey to identify suitable schemes to offset these.
Jamie Hooper, managing director of Environment Guernsey, said the stone had been removed from the site and although saltmarsh was "not particularly species-rich", it was rare and only Pulias Pond and Vale Pond offered similar habitat locally.
He said: "This is an area of high ecological importance... we fully expect the saltmarsh to recover naturally by itself and enhance the reserve as a whole."
More than 150 species of birds and 200 species of seaweed have been recorded at the Ramsar site, which includes marshes, reed beds and the intertidal area.
The department said it was also considering other offsetting projects, including the creation of new hedgerows along the northern perimeter of the airport and planting schemes on various other States-owned properties.
The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) want to take over the club, Rodney Parade ground and Newport Gwent Dragons.
The WRU and Dragons boards have approved the deal which must be passed by 75% of Newport RFC shareholders.
The new provisions include opening a club museum and keeping profits from bar sales on match days.
Dragons chief executive Stuart Davies has described the vote as a "hugely important moment in the history of Newport RFC" and warned a no vote could lead to liquidation for the club and region and the end of 140 years of rugby at Rodney Parade.
A statement said a "supplementary circular" had been issued to shareholders dealing with a number of issues raised in meetings since the date of the vote was announced on 12 April.
It follows a series of meetings where Newport RFC supporters have raised issues with Davies and WRU chief executive Martyn Phillips.

The statement said: "The circular seeks to deal with the main themes and discussion points emerging from these meetings, and perhaps most significantly confirms some additional provisions for Newport RFC."
It says the new provisions are:
The statement added: "Your Board's unanimous view is that, unpalatable as it may be to some, the sale represents the only possibility of giving the Company a viable future where creditors and employees alike are protected and there is an ability for professional rugby to continue to be played at Rodney Parade."
Stuart Davies said: "I think the documentation and further discussions have been well received, and we thought it would be beneficial ahead of the vote to capture the main themes in an additional release.
"The extra provisions for Newport RFC are both welcome and significant, and hopefully provide a further assurance that Rodney Parade will continue to be a home for Newport in the event of a 'Yes' vote."
Rayhan, a popular singer whose music mixes Eastern melodies with Western pop, has given a concert on 14 February for years.
But this month the show has been cancelled, along with other events.
Instead of Valentine's Day, the authorities are trying instead to promote the study and appreciation of a local hero, the Moghul emperor Babur, whose birthday falls on 14 February.
Babur, a descendant of Genghis Khan and founder of a culturally rich and tolerant empire across South and Central Asia, will be commemorated in readings and poetic festivals.
An official from the education ministry's Department for Enlightenment and Promoting Values said it had issued an internal decree "not to celebrate holidays that are alien to our culture and instead promote Babur's birthday".
The official, who wanted to remain anonymous, said the decree had been in place for a while.
Uzbek citizens were divided on the move, which is the latest in a series by the authorities against Western influences.
Abdullaw, a Tashkent resident who described himself as an intellectual, said it was right to stop the concert.
"It's the birthday of our great ancestor Mohammed Zahiriddin Babur," he said. "Why should we celebrate some artificial, lightweight event? It doesn't fit our mentality and our history."
But Jasur Hamraev, an entertainment journalist, said imposing patriotic celebrations was the wrong move.
"You shouldn't turn the day into a nationalistic cause because that just divides people," he said, adding that many young people would have enjoyed Rayhan's show.
"It's laughable," he said. "For 10 years she's been giving concerts on that day and this year it is banned as if someone had suddenly remembered that it's happening."
Local reports say the state information agency has in the past warned local publishers to avoid material on Valentine's Day.
But a college student told the BBC that Valentine's Day had become a new tradition celebrated among young people in particular, with souvenirs, cards and small presents exchanged between sweethearts.
The independent Uzbek news website uznews.net conducted its own informal survey and found that most of those questioned were planning to celebrate as usual, eating out or going to a club.
"It's a shame that instead of going to a concert we'll have to waste a couple of hours at some tedious event the university will put on," it quoted one student as saying.
It is not the first time that the authorities and the state media in particular have taken aim at what they see as damaging Western influences.
In the past few weeks there have been several articles attacking foreign soap operas from Mexico and Latin America for being too explicit and for undermining local values and traditions.
Similar criticism was levelled against hard rock and rap music in an extensive campaign a year ago. A Youth Channel on state TV labelled the music "Satanic", feeding on drug addiction and immorality.
The government set up a special censorship body to monitor rap music, register artists and hold regular meetings to encourage the use of more wholesome lyrics.
But observers say that the authorities' approach to Western culture is largely inconsistent with state media attacking supposedly immoral content on TV and the internet, while not a word is said about the often raunchy music videos produced by the president's daughter, Gulnara Karimova.
The Portuguese Fado event encourages integration between the different communities in the town and celebrates Portuguese culture.
There are an estimated 2,000 Portuguese nationals in Wrexham.
Last month, Wrexham council signed a formal agreement with the Portuguese government to build ties.
The festival, which has been given Big Lottery funding, is being organised by Iolanda Viegas who moved to Wrexham from Portugal 15 years ago.
"The main aim is integration," Ms Viegas, a representative of the Portuguese Council of Great Britain, said.
"We try for the Portuguese community to engage in the local community.
"It's by going to these events that we realise we are all the same.
"It's just one big community," said Ms Viegas who is also a representative on the Race Council Cymru and is director of the Portuguese Speaking Community Group in Wrexham.
Wrexham council has been working to develop close relationships across its diverse communities since 2008 when it launched its Together in Wrexham strategy.
Earlier this month, it signed a friendship agreement with the Portuguese government, reinforcing principles of "integration and collaboration", according to Councillor Hugh Jones, Wrexham's lead member for communities.
"We readily agreed and we saw that as recognition that out community cohesion team has a really successful link with the Portuguese community.
"We'd more than welcome similar protocols, if the Polish community came forward, we'd look at that in a favourable way."
In spite of the work being done by community leaders, the local authority and the police, there were some hate crime incidents in Wrexham in the aftermath of the EU referendum result.
Mr Jones said he felt confident such issues had now died down.
Mr Farron said he had put the decision "to bed" about two weeks into the campaign, and denied deceiving voters by continuing to fight the election.
"I absolutely threw everything at it," he said.
He announced his departure six days after polling day, saying he was "torn" between the leadership and his faith.
The Liberal Democrats increased their tally of seats from nine to 12 at last month's general election, but their vote share fell from 7.9% to 7.4%.
In an interview with BBC Radio 5 live's Emma Barnett, Mr Farron said that under his leadership, the party had "left intensive care and is back relevant".
"My job was to save the party," he said.
"The Liberal Democrats still exist and we're moving forward."
Mr Farron faced repeated questions about his views on gay sex during the campaign, and when he announced his resignation, said he had found it impossible to be a committed Christian and lead a "progressive liberal party".
Asked about his decision to quit, he said he had not wanted to "become the story".
"I made the decision about two weeks into the election campaign," he said.
"I thought there isn't a way forward out of this without me either compromising or just causing damage to the party in the long run."
He said he had told himself to "put that into a drawer, don't talk to anybody else about it, get on and do as good a job as you can during the election".
Mr Farron said this had "not in the slightest" deceived voters, adding that "in every election there is a reasonable chance that leaders will step down".
"I just thought 'I am here to do a job,'" he said.
A leadership contest is under way to replace Mr Farron - and with a week to go before nominations close, just one candidate, former Business Secretary Sir Vince Cable, has come forward.
Mr Farron - who criticised Theresa May's unopposed "coronation" as Tory leader - said Sir Vince had already been subject to "plenty of scrutiny".
"If there's only one candidate, then that's how it is," he added.
Lownes met Playboy founder Hugh Hefner in 1954 and became the magazine's promotion director.
He suggested that Playboy set up a club and said he came up with the idea for hostesses to be Playboy bunnies.
Moving to London, he came to embody the Playboy lifestyle and set up a string of highly successful clubs and casinos.
He married a former Playmate of the Year, Marilyn Cole, and was known for throwing lavish star-studded parties at his Hertfordshire mansion.
For a time he was reputedly the highest paid executive in Britain, but was sacked by Playboy in 1981 when the gambling operation ran into problems with authorities.

Marian Dorobek was held at Heysham Port after travelling from the Isle of Man on Wednesday afternoon.
The 68-year-old had fled Poland after committing rape and child sex offences. He was convicted in his absence and was facing a prison sentence.
Dorobek was transferred to HMP Wandsworth in London ahead of an extradition hearing.
Officers from Lancashire Police made the arrest after receiving a tip-off about Dorobek's impending arrival.
The Polish government has thanked the force for its swift intervention.
Insp Phil Hutchinson said: "This is a great example of a number of disciplines from within the constabulary coming together at a moment's notice to facilitate an arrest.
"Our prompt actions have resulted in an extremely dangerous offender being taken off the streets.
"Our thought and best wishes remain with the victims of the horrendous crimes he has committed."
Molly-Mole Povey, from Newton Abbot, in Devon, was upset when her son Roman said he had no friends at school.
After her Facebook post went viral, more than 200 cards have arrived from as far away as Australia.
Mrs Povey said: "The compassion shown has been truly inspiring."
She said that she had written the post two weeks before her "beautiful special boy" turns 11 on Wednesday.
She said Roman was "a lovely adorable boy with difficulties".
"I was just hoping a couple of school people might give him a card, but it went viral with people offering to send him cards from all over the world," she said.
"Roman doesn't have any friends and often cries himself to sleep because of this.
"I cannot express how heart-breaking these past few years have been seeing my beautiful boy so upset, so often."
She said on Facebook that any cards and well-wishes for his birthday "would mean the world to him to feel special for once and popular".
Her post has received more than 400 likes and responses from around the world including Dubai, New Zealand, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Egypt and Germany - and they are still arriving.
"Within 12 hours my post had been shared around the world from friends to their friends and beyond," she said.
"The moment I realised it had gone global was when someone in Uganda messaged me and asked if they could send my son Roman a birthday card.
"It's been amazing, I'm overwhelmed with people's kindness."
Roman will see the cards on Wednesday when he has a family celebration at his home.
The event in Newry, County Down, remembered the tens of thousands who died during the Irish Famine which took hold in 1845.
An official ceremony was held at the city's Albert Basin and culminated in the laying of wreaths.
A minute's silence was also held to remember the dead and those who emigrated.

The commemoration in Newry was led by the Irish minister for arts and heritage, Heather Humphreys, who said it was a "great honour" to be in the city to remember those who had lost their lives.
"One of the main reasons for the holding of the commemoration in a different location in each province is to highlight the devastating effects that the Great Famine had on people throughout the island," she said.
"The famine has undoubtedly been one of the most significant events in our history.
"The failure of the potato crop during the 1840s not only led to the enormous suffering and loss of life but also changed Ireland's demographic and cultural landscape, the effect of which can still be felt today.
"We remember all those who suffered as a result of the famine, regardless of their creed, political affiliation or nationality."
The first commemoration took place in Dublin in 2008 in recognition of the fact that the famine affected all parts of Ireland.
Since then, the location of the annual event has rotated in sequence between the four provinces.
Ms Humphreys said she was a "proud Ulster woman" and especially pleased that the event was being held in Northern Ireland for the first time.
The last time the event was held in the province of Ulster was in 2011 when it was held in Clones, County Monaghan.
During the ceremony, two poems written by local school children about the famine were read out.
Guests were also treated to musical performances and speeches.
Irish ministers were joined by representatives from the Stormont assembly, including Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness and Culture Minister Carál Ní Chuilín.
Mr McGuinness said it was an "important period of reflection for all of us".
"I think given the circumstances that we're seeing internationally throughout the world with the plight of the refugees, it brings it all home to us very eloquently how important it is for us, as people who have known suffering in the past, to contribute to the alleviating of the suffering of others."
A special plaque will be unveiled in Warrenpoint on Sunday to commemorate those who suffered.
Chairperson of Newry, Mourne and Down District Council Naomi Bailie said: "I hope our programme of events will serve as a fitting reminder of the devastation and loss experienced by millions of people in the years of the Great Irish Famine 1845-49 and beyond.
"No county was left unscathed when the potato crop failed and, for many of those who fled in search of a new life, their journeys began from the ports of Newry and Warrenpoint." | Former New Zealand captain Martin Crowe has died of cancer at the age of 53.

Netflix said its content, such as series House of Cards and Orange is the New Black, will be available to anyone with international payment cards.
On 15 January, the US announced new rules that ease long-running sanctions against Cuba.
A trade embargo has been in place since 1962.
US credit card firms MasterCard and American Express have both said they will launch operations in Cuba soon.
Last month, Netflix said its international expansion was proceeding ahead of schedule.
The company said it plans to expand to 200 countries in the next two years, and to earn "material profits" from its operations overseas by 2017.
"We are delighted to finally be able to offer Netflix to the people of Cuba, connecting them with stories they will love from all over the world," said Netflix co-founder and chief executive Reed Hastings in a statement.

The tweet, which criticised the waste of plastic, was posted on Thursday and has since been retweeted 60,000 times.
The mandarins, an easy-peel variety called Sumos, were available in some shops in Northern California.
Whole Foods subsequently tweeted back: "Definitely our mistake. These have been pulled."
Twitter user Nathalie Gordon posted the image and wrote: "If only nature could find a way to cover these oranges so we didn't need to waste so much plastic on them."
Underneath she posted a photograph of the Sumo mandarins.
In a press statement Whole Foods Market said: "Many of our customers love the convenience that our cut produce offers, and this was a simple case where a handful of stores experimented with a seasonal product.
"Orange and tangerine slices have long been a staple favourite in our stores. We're glad some customers pointed it out so we could take a closer look and leave Sumos in their natural packaging - the peel."
The retailer told the BBC that the packed slices of oranges and tangerines would remain on the shelves.
Sumo is a trademark name for a citrus fruit which is easy to peel, sweet, seedless and bigger than an ordinary mandarin.
There are already 60 huts at Coldingham Bay in Berwickshire but another 11 could now be built.
The approval will also allow for the replacement or alteration of the existing huts but with strict conditions on structure and colour.
A council planning officer said it was hoped that would help create a more "uniform appearance" in the area.
The huts are owned by Scottish Borders Council and leased to tenants.
Previously they had to apply individually to obtain planning consent to alter a hut, but a report said the reality was that a lot of changes had been made without seeking permission.
The latest blanket approval would allow works to be carried out according to fixed styles and colour schemes.
A council report said the introduction of new huts could also act as a "catalyst" for other tenants to upgrade their properties.
Sheeran's third album, titled ÷ (Divide), has become a monster hit since its release on Friday.
The all-time list for first-week sales has Adele's 25 and Oasis's Be Here Now at the top with 800,000 each.
If Sheeran doesn't quite match them, he could go third on that list, above Take That's Progress, which sold 518,601.
Sheeran has said he wants to challenge Adele's album sales.
"Adele is the one person who's sold more records than me in the past 10 years," he told GQ.
"She's the only person I need to sell more records than. That's a big feat because her last album sold 20 million. But if I don't set her as the benchmark then I'm selling myself short."
His album has already exceeded expectations. Before the release, Sheeran's manager Stuart Camp told Music Week he would be "ecstatic" with first-week figures of 350,000.
But he added: "But really I'm thinking, what will we have sold by the end of 2018? It's about the long game."
The final chart and first-week sales figures will be revealed on Friday.

Leigh Richmond Roose's name has been added to a plaque at the Old College, with the names of other students and staff killed in World War One.
He became known as one of the greatest goalkeepers of his day but was killed during fighting in 1916 aged 38.
But his name has been missing from the plaque for a century.
Louise Perkins from Aberystwyth University said: "For a century, the name of Leigh Richmond Roose has been missing from the war memorial erected by the Old Students' Association to honour those from the University who had fallen in the Great War.
"We're not sure why his name was left off but we are now making good this omission and celebrating the life of one of Aber's most colourful alumni."
Born in Holt, Wrexham, in 1877, the footballer came to study the arts and sciences at Aberystwyth University in 1895 and started playing in goal for Aberystwyth Town.
During his first year as a student, he was also selected for the Welsh team and according to rumour, would insist on wearing his old Aberystwyth Town shirt under his international jersey.
He played for clubs including Arsenal, Aston Villa and Sunderland.
In 1905, Mr Roose was described by the Daily Mail as one of Britain's most eligible bachelors.
After completing his studies at Aberystwyth, he studied medicine in London.
When World War One broke out in 1914, Mr Roose joined the Royal Army Medical Corps despite never completing his medical studies because of his football career.
He later transferred to the Royal Fusiliers and served in the trenches, winning the prestigious Military Medal for his bravery in fending off a flame-throwing attack by hurling grenades at the enemy, despite being wounded.
He was killed in action on 7 October 1916.
At the end of the war, the University's Old Students' Association acquired 10 Laura Place and presented it to the university in memory of staff, students and former students who had lost their lives during the conflict.
It also provided the original roll of honour which did not include Mr Roose's name - possibly because his name was misspelt on his recruitment papers and consequently on the war memorial to the missing of the Somme at Thiepval.
Tony Bates, chairman of Aberystwyth Town FC, said Mr Roose "still retains iconic status".
"He is perhaps the biggest character we have ever had the privilege to call one of our own.
"This is a fitting tribute to an exceptional goalkeeper, a friend to Aberystwyth and a war hero."
The Fed's chief said that while the US economy was improving, the US employment situation was still fragile.
"Too many Americans remain unemployed or underemployed... wage growth is still sluggish," she said.
Her comments helped propel US shares to fresh highs - the Dow and S&P 500 both closed at records.
Investors are not eager for the Fed to begin tightening anytime soon and a rate rise before June seems unlikely, as Ms Yellen also warned of weaknesses abroad.
In her semi-annual testimony in Congress she said: "Foreign economic developments, however, could pose risks to the outlook for US economic growth," she told Congress, focusing specifically on a slowdown in China as well as the struggling eurozone.
But she added that efforts to stimulate growth in the eurozone could ultimately help the US economy, and she noted that declining oil prices could provide a boost to US economic output.
This is Ms Yellen's first testimony in front of a Congress that is controlled by a majority of the Republican party.
Many Republicans have questioned the Federal Reserve's choices in the wake of the financial crisis, including presidential hopeful Rand Paul.
In response to questions from US Senator Sherrod Brown, a Democrat from Ohio, Ms Yellen condemned a bill in Congress that would "audit" the Fed - a move that is seen as strongly political, as the Federal Reserve is already audited by accounting firm Deloitte.
"I strongly oppose 'Audit the Fed,'" she replied, adding: "'Audit the Fed' is a bill that would politicise monetary policy."
"Her breast's exposed because she's feeding the people; she isn't wearing a veil because she's free," he said.
But opponents were quick to seize on his remarks as the race hots up ahead of next year's presidential elections.
One historian said his use of Marianne as a feminist symbol was "moronic".
Mathilde Larrere, an expert on the French Revolution, said Marianne was an allegory and the use of her naked breast "just an artistic code" and nothing to do with femininity.
The issue of the full-body swimsuit, known as a "burkini", has overshadowed French politics in the wake of the militant attack on Nice in July. As campaigning kicks off for next year's presidential election, Republican candidate Nicolas Sarkozy has called for the swimsuit to be banned.
Mr Valls last week defended the right of local mayors to impose beach bans, although France's top administrative court has said the bans breach fundamental freedoms.
And, addressing a Socialist Party rally attended by several ministerial colleagues, he said the French had to reclaim patriotism in the face of Islamist totalitarianism, insisting there should be no compromise on the role of women.
But when he invoked Marianne, Social Affairs Minister Marisol Touraine and Education Minister Najat Vallaud-Belkacem did not applaud.
Green politician Cecile Duflot said the prime minister's remark was comical because Marianne's head was covered with a Phrygian cap, another symbol of the French Revolution. She shared several images on social media from a National Assembly exhibition, including one describing Marianne as "a little part of all of us".
Mathilde Larrere set out in a series of tweets why the prime minister had been wrong to invoke Marianne to support his argument.
The renowned Eugene Delacroix painting depicted Liberty, she said, and not a republic.
During the 19th Century there were two competing images of Marianne that mirrored two differing concepts of the republic, she said. A wise, fully clothed, unarmed Marianne and a Marianne with a Phrygian bonnet, sword and exposed breast.
Radical revolutionaries would espouse the naked Marianne and more conservative republicans the clothed figure, Mathilde Larrere explained. And none of the men of that period had imagined giving women civil powers, freedom or the right to vote.
Le Figaro political correspondent Sophie de Ravinel said that Manuel Valls had departed from his text to make the remarks, and she pointed out that while Marianne's breast was exposed, her head was covered too.
Over the years, the faces of several leading French women have been used to symbolise Marianne, including Brigitte Bardot, Catherine Deneuve and Laetitia Casta.
More recently, there was some controversy over the reported use of a topless Ukrainian protester who was said to have inspired the face on France's national stamps.
Inna Shevchenko founded the bare-breasted movement Femen and was granted asylum in France in 2013.
The development includes three wind farms and up to 332 turbines and will be 64 miles off Hornsea.
Energy Secretary Ed Davey said the Hornsea Project One scheme would create 2,500 local jobs and bring millions of pounds into the UK economy.
It is expected to be start operating by the year 2020.
The project is a joint venture between Mainstream Renewable Power, Siemens Project Ventures GmBH and Dong Energy.
Consent for the scheme has been given on the condition that it has an employment and skills plan approved by North Lincolnshire Council, including local advertising of jobs and supply chain opportunities.
Friends of the Earth campaigner Simon Bowens said it was "fantastic news for the blossoming offshore wind industry on the North Sea coast".
"The UK could be an offshore wind powerhouse, but the Government must show much greater ambition if we are to reap the full benefits and continue to drive down costs in the years ahead."
A commentator on Fox News had claimed that GCHQ had carried out the activity on America's behalf, but Mr Ledgett said the claim showed "a complete lack of understanding in how the relationship works".
Each side, he said, was prohibited from asking the other partner to carry out acts that they were prohibited from doing.
He also said the huge risks to the UK in carrying out such an act would completely outweigh any benefits.
"Of course they wouldn't do it. It would be epically stupid," he told me.
GCHQ had also dismissed the allegation as nonsense.
Mr Ledgett's comments came in a wide-ranging - and long-scheduled - interview in his office at NSA headquarters at Fort Meade. He acknowledged that these were unusual times when it came to the political maelstrom surrounding America's intelligence agencies and their relationship with the new administration.
"Our job in the intelligence community is to be apolitical. Our job is to speak truth to power," he emphasised.
The origins of much of the tension lie in the assessment by the US intelligence community that Russia interfered in the presidential election, and the subsequent reaction from Donald Trump.
Mr Ledgett said the evidence of Russian involvement was "extraordinarily strong" and "irrefutable" and that the NSA had played a key role in establishing the case.
Mr Ledgett said he was "dead solid 100% confident" that the Russian state was behind the attempts - although he said it was not for the intelligence community to evaluate the actual impact of those attempts on the vote itself.
There has been speculation that Russia will interfere in upcoming European elections, but the NSA deputy director said it was hard for him to talk about any evidence supporting that.
There has been a shift towards more aggressive action in cyberspace in recent years - from Russia but also other states - with some commentators claiming that "cyber war" is breaking out.
Low-intensity conflict rather than war is a better description, Mr Ledgett said.
"Cyber war is going to look very different - you are going to see massive failures of key infrastructure systems in the countries that are being targeted in a way we have not seen yet."
The problems in attributing attacks and the lower barriers for entry mean that this trend may well continue, though.
The US last week indicted a group of Russian hackers as part of a broader strategy of trying to develop layered deterrence. Chinese and Iranian hackers have been indicted in the past.
"Our assessment is that it does cause actors to pause," Mr Ledgett said, while acknowledging it did not provide absolute deterrence.
The spread of internet-connected devices in the home is another concern.
"It's a truism that the more things you connect to a network, the more vulnerabilities you introduce," Mr Ledgett argued, adding that he did not have what are called "Internet of Things" devices in his own home.
Last week there were claims that the CIA - along with Britain's MI5 - had found vulnerabilities in some "smart" TV sets which allowed them to be turned into bugging devices.
Mr Ledgett emphasised that the mission of the NSA was to focus on foreign intelligence and not domestic.
He said that 90% of vulnerabilities in systems that the NSA spotted were reported to companies so they could fix them. And any vulnerabilities that the agency sought to leave in place to exploit for intelligence gathering needed to be approved by other government agencies.
"There's a fringe narrative out there that the US and UK and all these other governments are willy-nilly just exploiting every vulnerability in every device they can in order to gather information into a big pile and then root through it for interesting things. That's not what we do at all."
He acknowledged that the debate around the NSA's power was healthy, but said the way it came about was bad, referring to the Edward Snowden revelations.
He said that while he would not point to specific terrorist attacks or deaths as a result of disclosures, the NSA had seen one thousand "entities" (such as terrorist groups or foreign military units) which had tried to change behaviour to avoid surveillance.
Mr Ledgett is due to step down in the coming months after a 40-year career in national security. Twenty-nine of those years were spent at the NSA, where he ended up as its most senior civilian.
He acknowledged that the current environment - with the intelligence agencies drawn into political debate - was unprecedented.
"It is an uncomfortable place to be," he said. "Intelligence needs to not be politicised to be at its best."
The 24-year-old fast bowler has been told that he must now require surgery.
Milne was signed in January to cover the second half of the T20 Blast qualifying group campaign, while Pakistan's Wahab Riaz was then brought in to cover the first seven matches.
But Riaz now joins up with Pakistan for the Test series with England.
Essex, second bottom of the southern group with just two points from five games, now hope to find a stand-in at short notice.
"We have a list of replacements that we are working hard to bring in," said Essex head coach Chris Silverwood. "Hopefully we can treat the fans to an exciting arrival in the coming weeks.
"It is disappointing for ourselves and Adam. We were excited by his arrival. But, unfortunately, he requires surgery on an elbow injury he picked up previously."
Although struggling in the T20, Essex remain top of Division Two in the County Championship and also head their One-Day Cup group after four games.
Adam Milne has not appeared since being ruled out with a hamstring injury after his Indian Premier League debut for Royal Challengers Bangalore in mid-April.
Playing in the same team as Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers, he went for 43 runs from his four overs in a 45-run win over Sunrisers.
Milne is the third New Zealander forced to return home early from T20 duty, following in the wake of Worcestershire's Mitchell Santner (broken finger) and Birmingham Bears wicketkeeper Luke Ronchi, who has been selected for the Kiwis' forthcoming tour of Zimbabwe and South Africa.
MaxMind matches IP addresses, which are used to connect devices to the internet, to physical locations. It has said these are not meant to be precise.
James and Theresa Arnold say it registered their home as the position of more than 600 million addresses.
They say this has led many people to wrongly believe a host of crimes were committed at the property.
"The first week after the Arnolds moved in, two deputies from the Butler County Sheriff's Department came to the residence looking for a stolen truck. This scenario repeated itself countless times over the next five years," documents filed with a Kansas court read.
The Arnolds complained they have been disturbed at all hours by "local, state or federal officials looking for a runaway child or a missing person, or evidence of a computer fraud, or call of an attempted suicide".
The issue came to light in April after an investigation by Fusion, a TV network and website, which reported that the property's owner Joyce Taylor and her tenants had been accused of being "identity thieves, spammers, scammers and fraudsters" for years.
IPs can be used to identify individual houses but can also be imprecise. Sometimes, they only refer to the country a device is in and, in some cases, even that information can be inaccurate.
Fusion said Ms Taylor's troubles were the results of IP mapping by MaxMind, which chose her property as the default spot for IPs it could not locate more precisely other than saying they were in the USA. The house in Kansas, which the Arnolds rented out in 2011, is near to the geographical centre of the country.
Since then, they say they have had a constant stream of people who have researched the IP addresses they believe to be behind a string of nefarious activities and found them to be registered to their address.
"In 2013, the Butler County Sheriff Department ran a background check on the plaintiffs because of all the activity taking place at the residence," the court documents say, adding that the department was receiving "weekly reports about fraud, scams, stolen Facebook accounts, missing person reports" linked to the home.
"Threats began to be made against the plaintiffs by individuals who were convinced that the perpetrator of internet scamming lived at the residence. State investigators - convinced that the plaintiffs had been involved in an identity theft - came to the residence to take pictures of assets.
"The following events appeared to originate at the residence and brought trespassers and/or law enforcement to the plaintiffs' home at all hours of the night and day: stolen cars, fraud related to tax returns and bitcoin, stolen credit cards, suicide calls, private investigators, stolen social media accounts, fund raising events and numerous other events."
They accuse MaxMind of "reckless and grossly negligent conduct" that has caused "great emotional distress, fear for their safety, and humiliation" and have asked the Kansas district court to award the damages.
MaxMind said it was aware of the lawsuit but declined to comment on pending litigation.
The company's founder Thomas Mather has previously said: "We have always advertised the database as determining the location down to a city or zip code level. To my knowledge, we have never claimed that our database could be used to locate a household."
He said MaxMind has changed its default centre points to be in the middle of bodies of water.
The 16-year-old who cannot be named, had denied a charge of murder at Birmingham Crown Court.
Saleem Hassan, 21, died in June from serious head injuries following the attack near the Noor-Ul-Uloom Mosque in Small Heath.
The boy was remanded in custody and is due to be sentenced on 11 January.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said the attack happened after "a verbal altercation" between Mr Hassan and the defendant's brother inside the mosque.
Wendy Stevens, from the CPS, said the boy saw the altercation "and rather than avoid getting involved, ran home and picked up a baseball bat with which he returned to the scene and launched an attack on Saleem".
West Midlands Police said Mr Hassan was struck twice on the head , once when he was "motionless on the floor".
He died five days later in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, police said.
Joshua Declan Thomas, then aged 15, was one of three youths who killed 17-year-old Ben Bellamy in September 2004.
He was convicted of murder at Swansea Crown Court in 2006 and was ordered to serve at least 18 years behind bars.
The 12-month sentence cut means Thomas could apply for parole in September 2022.
But Mrs Justice Lang praised Thomas, now 26, at the High Court for his "exemplary" efforts to reform himself in prison.
She said he had expressed "genuine remorse" and had "come a long way" since the killing - though he still claimed Ben was alive when the youths left him.
Ben, from Sketty Park, was walking home from a night out at Cinderella's nightclub when he bumped into his killers.
He was later dragged onto a beach, attacked by two of the youths, stripped naked and left to drown in about a metre of water.
The judge said Ben was "a slight young man who put up little resistance" but was beaten until "he was unable to walk or stand".
She added: "The personal statements from members of his family describe the loss of a kind, thoughtful, young man with a bright future".
The judge who jailed Thomas, who has attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), described it as "determined, cold and violent killing".
His killers hoped that his body would be taken out to sea and, if ever found, people would believe he had drowned accidentally.
Mrs Justice Lang said Thomas had attained qualifications in maths, IT, English, gym, first aid and customer service and had taken part in the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme in prison.
He was an active fundraiser for a range of charities and had done voluntary work "in order to give something back to society" and had helped other prisoners with their literacy skills.
But Thomas still claimed Ben was still alive when they left him and "he could not say how he ended up face down in the sea".
The judge said: "He appears to be unwilling or unable to acknowledge the full facts of the index offence and his responsibility for it.
"This suggests a lack of insight, and consequent risks, which may require further work".
He will then be freed in 2022 if the Parole Board accepts that the risk he poses to the public has passed.
A centre-right coalition won the most votes in October's election but lost its overall majority.
A new leftist bloc has now voted 123 to 107 against the administration's programme, prompting its collapse.
The move could lead to a new government led by the Socialist Party, likely to focus on alleviating austerity.
The Socialists came second in the elections but have since forged agreements with the Left Bloc and the Communist Party, making an alternative coalition possible.
Portugal's President Anibal Cavaco Silva must decide either to ask the Socialists to form a new government, or to allow the incumbents to stay in charge until new elections are held.
Speaking during the debate in parliament, Socialist leader Antonio Costa said his proposed coalition would "guarantee conditions of stable governance".
Pro- and anti-government supporters rallied outside parliament as the vote happened.
Portugal was one of the countries hardest hit by the crisis in the eurozone, accepting an international bailout in exchange for sweeping cuts.
The current government has warned that the left-wing coalition risks turning Portugal into another Greece.

The 27-year-old Czech, playing only her third tournament since she was stabbed by an intruder at her home in December, started nervously and trailed early on.
She recovered to take the first set and was a break up in the second before Sweden's Larsson once again hit back.
However, 11th seed Kvitova broke again in the ninth game and saw out the win with an ace on her second match point.
"It was amazing to step out on Centre Court again," Kvitova told BBC Sport. "It was amazing to be back here and playing on this beautiful court - my favourite court.
"It was my motivation to come back and play at Wimbledon and I'm happy that my dream came true."
Kvitova suffered career-threatening injuries to her left hand in December's attack, but recovered quicker than expected to play at the French Open, where she lost to Bethanie Mattek-Sands in round two.
She capped her remarkable comeback by winning the Aegon Classic in Birmingham last month but then pulled out of Eastbourne with an abdominal injury.
"I'm still missing matches," she said. "It's practice that you can't get through training alone. You just need to play as many matches as you can.
"I was tight and nervous today and started badly with my serve, so need to improve that and my ground strokes. I hope with more matches, I will be better and better."

Kvitova's nerves were evident as Larsson, 28, broke her serve in the opening game of the match but she recovered to win six of the next seven games and take the first set.
Larsson fought hard in the second set too but Kvitova's blend of power hitting and deft drop shots eventually proved too much.
Prior to the tournament, Kvitova told BBC Sport that she had "won her fight" by simply being fit for Wimbledon. However, she is one of only two former champions in the women's singles draw - Venus Williams being the other - and so any further improvement could see her in contention for a third title.

In a wide open women's singles draw, second seed Simona Halep, a semi-finalist at Wimbledon in 2014, set down a marker with a comfortable 6-4 6-1 victory over New Zealand qualifier Marina Erakovic.
The Romanian, who lost to Jelena Ostapenko in this year's French Open final, needed just one hour 13 minutes to beat Erakovic, who released her debut record under the stage name Mad Era earlier this year.
Halep will face Beatriz Haddad Maia in the second round, after the Brazilian saw off Britain's Laura Robson 6-4 6-2.
Elsehwere, Ukraine's fourth seed Elina Svitolina, who squandered a big lead against Halep to lose in the quarter-finals at Roland Garros, began her campaign with a hard-fought 7-5 7-6 (10-8) win over Australia's Ashleigh Barty.
Former world number one Victoria Azarenka came from a set behind to beat Catherine Bellis 3-6 6-2 6-1 in her first Grand Slam match since the 2016 French Open, having given birth to son Leo in December.
American Bellis, 18, surged into a 3-0 lead and held her advantage to take the first set, before Azarenka, 27, did the same in the second to level the match.
The Belarusian then showed glimpses of the game that took her to two Australian Open titles in racing out to a 4-0 lead in the decider and rode a brief fightback from Bellis to wrap up a promising win as the light faded on Court One.
Azarenka will play 15th seed Elena Vesnina in round two after the Russian beat compatriot Anna Blinkova 6-4 5-7 6-2.
In contrast to Azarenka, Canada's Eugenie Bouchard - runner-up in 2014 - started strongly against 25th seed Carla Suarez Navarro, only to collapse to a 1-6 6-1 6-1 defeat.
The 71-year-old was rushed to hospital on Tuesday afternoon. It is not immediately clear what illness she has.
A statement released on her website said she "regained consciousness on the ambulance ride to an LA area hospital".
The Canadian-born artist is "currently in intensive care undergoing tests and is awake and in good spirits," it added.
Los Angeles fire officials said paramedics had answered a 911 call in Bel Air, where Mitchell lives, and had taken a patient whom they did not identify to hospital.
In December she told Billboard magazine that she had a rare skin condition, Morgellons disease, which prevented her from performing.
"I can't sing any more - don't miss it. I can't play any more - don't miss it. I've got all these instruments laying around and hopefully one day I'll pick them up," she was quoted as saying.
Morgellons is a controversial condition and is not recognised by mainstream medical authorities. Sufferers say it is characterised by crawling and stinging sensations under the skin but many in the medical community believe it is a psychiatric disorder.

Musicians took to social media to send messages of support. Boy George tweeted: "A prayer for Joni Mitchell."
Billy Idol also sent best wishes: "Sorry to hear today's news about Joni Mitchell. I sang on her 'Dancing Clown' single many moons ago, all the best 4 her recovery."
Mitchell has released 19 original albums, with her last in 2007.
Best known for her 1970 hit Big Yellow Taxi, Mitchell was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.
Her 1971 album, Blue, is ranked 30th on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
The woman, who is believed to be in her 20s, is in a critical condition in hospital after incident, which happened at about 10:45 at Mede House in Salisbury Street.
She was found on the ground and taken to Southampton General Hospital.
Hampshire police urged anyone who saw someone leaving the block of flats at about the same time to contact them.
The number of companies has more than doubled in the last year, meaning 35,000 low-paid workers will see their pay rise when the wage is increased on Monday, Citizens UK said.
The current Living Wage rate is £7.65 an hour, compared with the national minimum wage of £6.50.
The Living Wage reflects what workers require to meet their basic needs.
In London, the Living Wage is currently £8.80 an hour.
The rate is set by the Living Wage Foundation, part of the community organisation Citizens UK, and is calculated by the Centre for Research in Social Policy at Loughborough University. It has cross-party support.
Last week, research published by the Resolution Foundation think tank found that a record five million UK workers were in low-paid jobs, having risen by 250,000 in the last 12 months.
This was a problem for the government, it said, because it kept income tax revenues low.
"The good news is that the number of accredited Living Wage employers has more than doubled this year - over 1,000 employers across the UK have signed up," said Rhys Moore, director of the Living Wage Foundation.
He added that the number of the companies signed up in the FTSE 100 had risen from four to 18, and included Canary Wharf Group and Standard Life. Nationwide and Nestle have also signed up.
"Low pay costs the taxpayer money - firms that pay the minimum wage are seeing their workers' pay topped up through the benefits system," he said.
The new higher rate of Living Wage will be announced at 00:01 GMT on Monday, while the rate for London will be announced by Mayor Boris Johnson later in the morning. Both will rise to reflect the higher costs of living.
A report by consultants KPMG revealing the number of workers being paid less than the Living Wage will also be released on Monday.
"Far too many employers are stuck in the spiral of low pay," said KPMG's Head of Living Wage Mike Kelly.
"Unless wages rise, a significant sector of the UK population will see themselves caught between the desire to contribute to society and the inability to afford to do so.
"The Living Wage may not be possible for every business, but is certainly not impossible to explore the feasibility of paying it."
Over the wider economy as a whole, wages are not rising as fast as prices, meaning real pay for many people is falling.
The latest figures show that average weekly earnings are rising by 0.9% excluding bonuses, below the rate of inflation, which is 1.2%.
European football's governing body is already investigating if Paris St-Germain have broken the rules, designed to stop clubs from 'financial doping'.
La Liga president Javier Tebas said City and PSG's "funding by state-aid distorts European competitions and creates an inflationary spiral that is irreparably harming the football industry".
City and PSG spent hundreds of millions of pounds on new players this summer.
PSG have been owned by the Gulf state of Qatar, via its Qatar Sports Investments fund, since 2011.
They more than doubled the world record transfer fee when they spent 222m euros (£200m) to sign Neymar last month, before adding Kylian Mbappe on loan from Monaco, a deal that is expected to be made permanent for £165.7m in 2018.
Manchester City's summer spend of £215m was the biggest by any club in any transfer window.
The Premier League club was bought by The Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008.
A La Liga statement released on Monday confirms it wrote two letters to Uefa on 22 August - one to express concerns over the French club, and another relating to City.
The body claimed that "both PSG and Man City benefit from sponsorships that make no economic sense and lack any fair value".
The statement continued: "La Liga calls on Uefa to proceed with its investigation, taking into account the full history of PSG's actions. Additionally, La Liga calls on Uefa to open a similar investigation into Man City."
Hastings, 31, tore his patella tendon while playing for Australian side Victoria on 6 December.
Worcestershire had been looking to sign a replacement overseas player as cover for the first half of next season.
"He had the operation on Friday and the surgeon was delighted," director of cricket Steve Rhodes said.
"We know now that if the rehab work goes well, John will be available a lot sooner again to play more cricket for Worcestershire than had been originally anticipated.
"The best possible scenario is John manages to be available for the first game of the season in April - but we are not counting our chickens as it might be slightly later than that."
The Wikileaks founder still faces the more serious allegation of rape.
But prosecutors have run out of time to investigate Mr Assange for sexual assault because they have not succeeded in questioning him.
He denies all allegations and has said they are part of a smear campaign.
The Australian journalist and activist sought asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy in London in 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden.
Under Swedish law, charges cannot be laid without interviewing the suspect.
Prosecutors had until 13 August to question Mr Assange about one accusation of sexual molestation and one of unlawful coercion, while the time limit on a further allegation of sexual molestation runs out on 18 August.
The more serious allegation of rape is not due to expire until 2020.
An official announcement from the prosecutor's office is expected on Thursday morning.
Mr Assange has always denied all the accusations and says he fled into the Ecuadorian embassy because he fears being extradited from Sweden to the US and put on trial for releasing secret American documents.
He has said in the past that he will not leave the embassy, even if the accusations of sex crimes are dropped.
The woman who accused Mr Assange of sexual molestation and unlawful coercion - who is identified in legal papers only as AA - is said to be relieved that the case is now behind her.
"She had wanted him to stand before the court and answer the accusations but it's five years ago and she's not interested in going to court now," her lawyer, Claes Borgstrom, told the BBC.
"She wants to put it all behind her. It's been a difficult time for her and she's now trying to forget about it and move on with her life."
Swedish prosecutors had initially insisted that Mr Assange be questioned in Sweden, but earlier this year - under pressure to advance the investigation - she agreed that he could be interviewed in London.
But the Swedish government has been unable to negotiate access with the Ecuadorian authorities, with both sides blaming the other for the impasse.
Lawyers for Mr Assange say the allegations of sexual assault should have been dropped long ago.
"Our position is that the investigation should have been shut down earlier because there wasn't enough evidence to keep it going," Thomas Olsson, one of his Swedish lawyers, told the BBC.
"It's regrettable that it's gone on for this long."
He said he believed Mr Assange could clear his name over the rape allegation.
"We are convinced that as soon as he has the opportunity to give his version of the circumstances, there'll be no need to continue the investigation."
Sweden is expected to continue discussions with Ecuador over the terms under which the prosecutor could question Mr Assange over the remaining accusation.
The UK government has urged Ecuador to co-operate, stressing that the UK has a legal obligation to extradite Mr Assange.
"We are clear that our laws must be followed and Mr Assange should be extradited," a UK Foreign Office spokeswoman said.
"As ever, we look to Ecuador to help bring this difficult, and costly, situation to an end."
The cost of policing the Ecuadorian embassy in Knightsbridge for the past three years now stands at around £12m ($18.8m; €16.8m).
The South African franchises, who played their final Super Rugby game on Friday with the Cheetahs defeating the Kings 21-20, would join 12 teams from Wales, Italy, Ireland and Scotland from September.
Pro12 board members are set to meet in Dublin on Tuesday, 18 July to discuss the tournament's immediate future with the South African sides expected to join - with the Bulls, Sharks, Stormers and Lions maintaining their Super Rugby status.
But what do we know about them?
Who are they?
Known as the Toyota Cheetahs, the franchise area encompasses the western half of the Free State province, the same as that of provincial Currie Cup side the Free State Cheetahs.
The Cheetahs were one of the two new franchises that entered the expanded Super Rugby competition in 2006, alongside Australia's Western Force.
Where do they play?
They are based at the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein. The stadium had its capacity increased to 48,000 for the 2010 World Cup.
How successful have they been?
In their first season the Cheetahs finished 10th in the final standings out of 14 sides. Their best regular season finish was in 2013 when they were sixth.
In 2017 the Cheetahs finished second in the Africa I conference, but seventh out of eight in the South African standings and 13th overall. They won four out of their 15 games.
Who has played for them?
Some of the famous Springbok names include Os du Randt, Juan Smith, Willie le Roux, Heinrich Brussow and Cornal Hendricks.
Dragons pair Sarel Pretorius and Rynard Landman also represented the Cheetahs before moving to Wales.
Current Springboks include back-rower Oupa Mohoje and wing Raymond Rhule.
Who is the coach?
On 17 July, 2017, the side announced a coaching staff switch, with Franco Smith becoming the new director of rugby and Rory Duncan the head coach of the Cheetahs and Free State Cheetahs.
Smith is a former Springboks outside-half and centre who made 27 appearances for Newport after making his debut 1999.
Smith also coached Treviso before taking over the role as Cheetahs' head coach in 2015.
Who are they?
The team were created in 2009 to play the British and Irish Lions on their tour of South Africa, a match the Kings lost 20-8.
After initially failing to gain a Super Rugby franchise, the Kings were awarded a place in the 2013 competition.
For their debut season the Kings' catchment area was made up of the Eastern Cape and parts of the Western Cape, drawing players from three provincial unions.
After the South African Rugby Union (SARU) took over the running of the franchise in November 2015, the franchise had no formal ties to any of the provincial unions.
Where do they play?
The Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium is a 46,000-seater stadium in Port Elizabeth on the Eastern Cape. It was one of three coastal stadiums to host during the 2010 World Cup.
How successful have they been?
After making their debut in 2013 the Kings were relegated after losing the two-legged match with the Lions. They missed the 2014 and 2015 seasons before returning for 2016.
In 2016 they won just two out of 15 matches, finished bottom of the four teams in the Africa 2 Conference, seventh in the South African Group and 17th overall, with just the Japanese Sunwolves team finishing the season with a worse record.
In 2017 the Kings again finished bottom of the Africa 2 Conference but were fifth in the South African standings and 11th overall. The Kings won six out of their 15 games.
Who has played for them?
Scarlets supporters will know one of their former players in lock David Bulbring.
Former Leicester outside-half Jaco van der Westhuyzen played in the opening game against the Lions in 2009 and kicked a penalty.
Ex-Bath and Springboks flanker Luke Watson also turned out for the Kings.
There are no notable Springboks in the current squad with back-rower Andisa Ntsila, second-row Wilhelm van der Sluys and prop Schalk Ferreira some of their prominent performers
Who is the coach?
Former back-row or lock forward Deon Davids has been the Kings head coach for the last two seasons in Super Rugby.
He previously played and coached for Boland.

One afternoon after work, the rubbish picker from north-eastern Brazil was lying exhausted in a hammock when her youngest son, Damiao Sandriano, invited her to take a look at a book.
"Mum, would you like to read with me?" he asked. "It's a story, and it has pictures."
At the time, the 42-year old was unable to write her own name.
The closest to any formal education she had ever had was a class for young adults in which she was taught the letters of the alphabet.
But she gave up, frustrated at not being able to get past the letter "e". She recalls the experience as "an agony".
It was not until her son stepped in that she would try again.
After a few informal lessons by Damiao at their home on a dirt road in Jardim Progresso, a poor community on the outskirts of the city of Natal, Sandra was able to trace an "e".
Damiao helped his mother how to remember the letters better. The "R", he explained is "like a 'B' but open".
The letter "h" they simply nicknamed "the chair".
Being able to write her own name was a watershed moment. Sandra was able to exchange her old ID which only bore her thumbprint for one with her signature.
"I said: 'I will get myself a new ID to prove that now I know how to write my name'," Sandra told the BBC.
"I went there and they asked me to sign on the paper. I thought: 'There, now I can do it, I don't need to feel ashamed anymore'."
Sandra is one of the 760 millions adults worldwide who, according to Unesco figures, cannot read or write.
In Brazil, there are 12.9 million, making up around 8.3% of the population over 15 years of age.
Sandra was forced to work from an early age after her mother abandoned her when she was three.
After she was taken in by her grandmother she was sent to live with a couple who did not allow her to go to school
She worked on the couple's farm, crushing and grinding cassava for flour and cleaning their house.
One day she was working in a banana field when a group of children walked past carrying notebooks.
"I wanted to go where they were going," she recalls. "But they said: 'Go back to work!'. And I cried."
When she was 12, Sandra ran away to try to find her mother.
She managed to track her down but her mother wanted nothing to do with Sandra, and her mother's partner tried to hurt her, Sandra recalls.
Sandra then lived on the streets until she was 13, when she was picked up by a man who offered her food and a roof over her head.
During the time they lived together, they had three children. But it was a life punctuated by regular and brutal beatings.
In 1996, after the man stabbed her and ripped part of her scalp off with his teeth, Sandra took the children and left.
She promised her children that no man would ever hit her again.
Sandra managed to get by picking waste and taking it for recycling.
Without being able to read or write she had to rely on strangers for help with just taking a bus.
"Can you read the sign for me?" she would have to ask them sheepishly at the bus stop.
She said it was a daily humiliation. She never dreamed of having a formal job.
As the years went by she married and had more children before divorcing her husband.
Four of her seven children died when they were still young, three of various disease and one was run over.
Damiao is the youngest of the seven.
One day, after hearing his mother describe the "big shame" of not knowing how to read and write, Damiao, who was three at the time, suggested they make a pact.
"I will learn [how to read and write], and when I do it, I will teach you," he promised.
Damiao had a teacher who helped him with after-school lessons and encouraged him to read books.
Damiao says he loves to read as it takes him "to another world" and gives him "infinite imagination".
Seeing her son come back from school every day is Sandra's pride and joy.
At home, Damiao turns from pupil into teacher.
In the course of the past year, mother and son read 107 books together, some of which she found in the rubbish she picks through for a living.
Her writing is coming on as well. She was thrilled when she signed Damiao's school paperwork for the first time.
"There was a space for me to state my relationship to him. I wrote in very clear in big letters: 'Mother'."
Damiao says his mother can already write "a lot of words", but he wants her to learn more.
"I want her to learn the words she feels inside. She likes to talk about love, emotions," the 11-year old says.
At home, he helped her write a message in green, capital letters on the wall.
It reads: "Little corner of happiness where, thanks to God, nothing is missing."
A group of university experts is proposing a system giving more detailed information alongside grades such as first or upper second class degrees.
There have been 21 universities piloting such points-based measurements of student performance.
Graduate employers have backed the call for more detailed university grades.
The system being proposed is a "grade point average" (GPA), which would show students' achievement through their time in university. This would reflect results from work throughout a degree course.
The GPA advisory group, in a report published by the Higher Education Academy, says it would add another layer of detail to the current system of first, upper second (2:1), lower second (2:2) and third class degrees.
It responds to concerns from employers that it is hard to distinguish between job applicants when more than half of all degrees awarded in the UK are now upper seconds.
The proposed system would provide a scale from 0 to 4.25, so for instance work marked as a C would have a grade point of 2.5, while a C+ would be a 2.75. An A- would be 3.75, while an A+ would be 4.25.
The intention is to provide a much more "granular" detail of students' achievements than a broad brush grade.
Sir Bob Burgess, the former vice chancellor of Leicester University, who has headed the advisory group, says adopting such a points-based system would "meet the vital need for a more precise indicator of degree grades and to provide students with a more internationally recognisable measure".
A grade point average system is used by universities in the United States.
Each individual university would still be able to decide how they would award points, so that a 2.5 grade in one institution could not necessarily be compared with the same score at another.
As well as deciding on their own marking, universities could choose whether or not to include first year exam results or to give extra weighting to final exams.
But the proposers say that it would provide more transparency than the current system.
"It's a scale based on evidence and not thought up in an armchair," said Prof Graham Curtis, part of the Higher Education Academy advisory group.
Employers backed the principle of more detailed grades.
Stephen Isherwood, chief executive of the Association of Graduate Recruiters, said it would provide "more information for employers to make a decision".
He said students would also "benefit from a fairer representation of their grades".
Nicola Dandridge, chief executive of Universities UK, said the current degree grading system was recognised as a "blunt instrument".
And he said the proposals "provide a good platform now to test the value of GPA with the whole higher education sector".
Full-back Odoi, 28, has agreed a three-year contract at Craven Cottage, with the option of a further year.
Blues centre-back Kalas has joined on a season-long loan deal.
The 23-year-old Czech Republic international has spent the last 18 months on loan at Middlesbrough, making 47 appearances.
Kalas joined the Blues in 2010 and has featured four times for the Premier League club, while also having loan spells at Sigma Olomouc in his homeland, at Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem and with German outfit Cologne.
The pair become Fulham's fourth and fifth signings of the summer transfer window.

The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said 152,076 new cars were registered in April.
Sales of alternatively fuelled cars fell for the first time in four years.
However, new car registrations are up 1.1% overall for the first four months of the year to a record 972,092.
SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes said he expected demand to stabilise this year.
"With the rush to register new cars and avoid VED tax rises before the end of March, as well as fewer selling days due to the later Easter, April was always going to be much slower.
"It's important to note that the market remains at record levels as customers still see many benefits in purchasing a new car. We therefore expect demand to stabilise over the year as the turbulence created by these tax changes decreases," he added.
Registrations of alternatively fuelled vehicles fell by 1.3%, the first fall in 47 months, as demand for hybrid vehicles was hit by higher VED rates.
Since 1 April, only newly-registered cars with zero emissions have been exempt from paying VED, which only includes electric and hydrogen cars. However, petrol cars with carbon dioxide emissions of up to 100g per km, registered before this date, are also exempt.
There is a sliding scale of charges for the first year of ownership, and after that petrol or diesel vehicles are subject to a "standard" rate of £140 a year.
For those buying cars costing more than £40,000 there is an additional £310 "premium" levy for the first five years of ownership.
Is this fall in sales down to the VED changes or are there other factors at play?
There's no doubt the VED changes led some buyers to pull forward purchases to March. The April fall in alternatively fuelled vehicles - the first in 47 months - also suggests that the increases in VED made a difference.
But the biggest fall in demand (-28.4%) came from private buyers, who are seeing prices rise faster than their wages. That could be an indication of more subdued car sales ahead.
The headlines over diesel may have been a factor too. About 25,000 fewer diesel cars were registered in April compared with a year earlier. Then again, larger cars, which tend to have diesel engines, were particularly hit by the VED changes.

The collision involved two cars on the eastbound carriageway between Colbren and Glynneath at about 19:40 GMT.

Police advised drivers to take an alternative route for the rest of the night while vehicle recovery and investigations continue.
The fundamentals in the region were still very strong, Chief Executive Ivan Menezes told the BBC.
Factors such as 60 million people in the region turning the legal drinking age every year will drive that growth.
A crackdown on extravagant spending in China dented Diageo's sales last year.
The British firm reported lower-than-expected sales for the second half of 2014 in January at £5.9bn ($8.7bn), while its profits fell by 18% to £1.7bn.
In China, the company said sales of Scotch whisky were down 22% as a result of the government's austerity drive.
Mr Menezes said Asia accounted for 20% of Diageo's current business. He sees that growing to 25% with good growth prospects in China, India and South East Asia.
"Our focus in China is to build a consumer-led business, to get our brands resonating with the consumers," he said.
"It's a very attractive market as the emerging middle class is yet to come through strongly."
Diageo makes Johnnie Walker whisky, Smirnoff vodka and Guinness, as well as a number of malts.
With low growth in developed markets of the US and Europe, Diageo is turning to emerging markets to drive growth in the next decade.
Mr Menezes said Africa and India, in particular, were "hugely attractive" markets, because the penetration of spirits among the growing middle class was still very low.
"When consumers cross about $5,000 a year in purchasing power terms in the middle class, that's when its very attractive for our business," he said.
"The next 10 years about a billion consumers are going to cross that threshold, so I see those markets really being big difference-makers for Diageo in the next decade."

He's been showing off his moves in Tahiti and dropped into the BBC's studio in Los Angeles to tell us more.
The claim: Graduates in a lifetime earn more than non-graduates by £250,000 for women and £170,000 for men.
Reality Check verdict: Modelling lifetime earnings clearly creates uncertainties but the analysis is basically reasonable. It is an average, so there will be people for whom going to university is not financially worthwhile and some who will benefit even more.
Universities Minister Jo Johnson said: "Universities continue to deliver extraordinary returns for people who go.
"On average, if you're a woman you're likely to have higher lifetime earnings than women who don't go to the tune of about £250,000; £170,000 if you're a man."
These figures come from analysis carried out by Prof Ian Walker and Prof Yu Zhu for the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills in 2013.
It estimated the value of a degree over a lifetime from the point of view of an 18-year-old, by comparing earnings for those with a degree with those for somebody with at least two A-Levels but no degree.
The figures they came up with were £252,000 for women and £168,000 for men (at 2012 prices). Those figures are adjusted for loan repayments on £9,000 per year fees and tax.
Prof Zhu told BBC News that the way the model was designed meant the increase in interest rates and fees since the research was done would be allowed for and the figures still stood.
The model also takes account of the relative likelihood of periods of unemployment during a working life.
Predicting how much people will earn in a lifetime is clearly not a precise science and there are significant uncertainties (see our previous article on the challenges of economic modelling).
Also, this is an average, so for some people it will not turn out to have been worth going to university based on the financial outcome.
Research from the Institute for Fiscal Studies last year found that at 23 institutions for men and nine for women, the median graduate was earning less after 10 years than the median non-graduate.
It also found that people with degrees in the creative arts earned no more on average than non-graduates.
Another figure on Today came from Alistair Jarvis, chief executive of Universities UK, who said: "Somebody who goes to university will earn on average about £10,000 a year more than somebody that hasn't got a degree."
That is a figure from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) comparing median earnings for graduates with median earnings for non-graduates.
The latest figures are for 2016, when the average graduate earned £9,500 more a year than the average non-graduate.
It is a figure taken from the Labour Force Survey, which is the same place from where the monthly unemployment figures come.
But here's why it is not a great deal of help for somebody whose A-level results have just come out and who is deciding whether the financial commitment of going to university is a good idea.
For graduates aged between 21 and 30, the ONS figures show the earnings gap is less - at £6,000.
Also, it is not necessarily helpful to compare the earnings of graduates with all non-graduates because many non-graduates do not have the qualifications that would allow them to go to university.
And it does not take account of student loan repayments or taxes.

Lisa Dorrian, a 25-year-old from Bangor, has been missing since 2005 and police believe she was killed after attending a party in Ballyhalbert.
On Monday, detectives returned to farmland near Comber to resume the search for her body, saying they had received "new information".
BBC Newsline's Mervyn Jess reports.
Flowers, balloons and other items were left in the city's St Ann's Square after the bombing at the Ariana Grande concert on 22 May.
Manchester City Council said they would be moved on Friday evening, with many of the flowers being preserved.
Toys and football shirts will be given to children's charities.
The attack killed 22 people and injured 116 as they left the concert at Manchester Arena.
Tributes were initially left outside Manchester Town Hall in Albert Square but were moved to St Ann's Square so workmen could set up the stage for an athletics event.
A council spokesman said the "impact of time and bad weather mean that we now need to relocate the tributes and take steps to preserve or appropriately re-use them".
Flowers that are in good condition will be pressed and preserved by Manchester Art Gallery with some used in memorial books for the victims' families, a council spokesman said.
He added pot plants will be planted across the city centre.
Other remaining flowers and plants will be used for compost "to help new life flourish", with help from volunteers from In Bloom groups.
The items will be moved on Friday evening to "minimise disruption... because of the number of vehicles which will need to access the square to help move the tributes", he added.
Archivists at Manchester Central Library and Manchester Museum will preserve messages left on cards as "an important part of Manchester's social history".
Councillor Sue Murphy, deputy leader of Manchester City Council, said: "People should be reassured that neither those who lost their lives or were hurt on 22 May, nor the remarkable resilience and refusal to give into hate which Manchester demonstrated, will ever be forgotten." | Pre-peeled mandarins in plastic packaging have been removed from sale by Whole Foods Market after a customer's photo and tweet went viral.

The stickers on the Tencent-owned platform featured images of elderly women from Twenty-Two, a recent TV documentary about women who were kidnapped and forced to work as sex slaves for the Japanese military.
They had captions such as "Speechless and choked up" and "At a loss", and were apparently intended to be humorous.
QZone has apologised for the offence caused by the images, which have now been removed, and says it is investigating.
Estimates suggest up to 200,000 women from South East Asia were forced into sex slavery for Japanese soldiers during World War Two, many of them Korean.
QZone users noticed the stickers appearing around 20 August, a week after Twenty-Two was aired to coincide with the annual International Memorial Day for Comfort Women on 14 August.
Thousands took to the popular Sina Weibo microblog to vent their fury, with some calling for a boycott of Tencent mobile applications.
"What brutes produced these stickers?" asked 'OhThisBrainA'. "How would you feel if this was a member of your family? If it was your mother?"
"The people who made these stickers are heartless, using other people's pain for their own entertainment," another user added.
"There are some things that should remain a serious issue, and that's the bottom line, I don't know what those packaging these images as stickers were thinking," said one user, receiving more than 18,000 likes.
"I hope they [Tencent] issue a serious apology. This kind of thing is not 'entertainment'. Absolutely not," added 'Cherry_Tiffany'.
Following the online outcry, QZone pulled the images from its platform.
It issued a statement on 21 August saying: "We are deeply sorry for the impact this incident has had," and said that it would carry out an investigation.
It said that the images were "provided by a third-party".
"We have learnt a lesson and will resolutely ensure that such an incident does not happen again," it said.
But many social media users appeared dissatisfied with the explanation.
"This third party has magically appeared," said 'QinYouDuZhong' in a post liked by over 1,500 users.
Some users even went as far as to suggest that this was Tencent's own government "propaganda" to plug the show.
State media have been heavily promoting Twenty Two over the past week, and have highlighted the endorsements it has received from Chinese celebrities.
According to Global Times, the film grossed 3.5m yuan ($524,000; £409,000) at the box office on the first day of its release.
Government media often highlight the involvement of China's "comfort women" in World War Two around the 15 August, which marks the anniversary of Japan's surrender in the conflict.
There are 14 known "comfort women" still alive today in mainland China.
